@G0ffThew Ah, yes. The Big Day. I can't wait for The Big Day.

[Explanation Point @ExPoint140]

Hey, @TeamYouTube ! Sorry to bother you again, but you never gave me that email address we talked about. Think I could trouble you for it?

[Explanation Point @ExPoint140]

You're thanking me for understanding when I very specifically don't understand. That's the issue. Please explain it to me.

[Explanation Point @ExPoint140]

You aren't capable of explaining how your other two decisions on this exact same video were thoughtless? Why are you only now making thoughtful decisions? I would've appreciated it if you'd been thoughtful the first time this video was brought to your attention.

[TeamYouTube @TeamYouTube]

@ExPoint140 There’s nothing more we can do on our side to change the outcome — these decisions are made very thoughtfully & our Community Guidelines exist to make YouTube a safer community for everyone. Thanks again for understanding

[Explanation Point @ExPoint140]

Or are you trying to tell me that this decision was "thoughtfully made" by AI and there's nothing you can do to explain it because you don't know how it works?

[Explanation Point @ExPoint140]

@TeamYouTube Like, it would be one thing if it were one I just uploaded. But I don't understand how you all can repeatedly tell me (explicitly) that there's nothing wrong with the video for nearly a decade and now decide that it's strike-worthy when nothing has changed.

[Explanation Point @ExPoint140]

Hey, @TeamYouTube. Who do I contact about removing community guidelines strikes when you arbitrarily decide that a video that's been on your website for seven years, which you "manually reviewed" and found "suitable for all advertisers" promotes child sexualization?

[Explanation Point @ExPoint140]

@TeamYouTube You mean this explanation that says nothing other than "after seven years, a million views, and two different manual reviews saying it's fine, we've decided THIS time that your video violates our terms."

The video hasn't changed. Why was it fine before? Why did THIS appeal fail?

[Explanation Point @ExPoint140]

@TeamYouTube Sure thing! Thanks for the prompt response. Here you go:

Anyway, just let me know who to email. Have a good one. Screenshots attached.

[Explanation Point @ExPoint140]

Are you now saying that *both* of those decisions were wrong? And not only wrong, so egregiously wrong that, instead of reinstating the video, you should've given me a strike and made me take sensitivity training, as you're now doing?

[Explanation Point @ExPoint140]

Hello. I can be found here now, for all your sporadic tweeting needs. You too can join my wife and Dan Floyd from Extra Credits, who are currently my only two Bluesky followers.

@MangaScrub I'm one of those "everything starts at a 5" guys. A five is a perfect "this is a show that exists and is on my screen" score. I can't even remember the last thing that got a five. Solo Leveling if it weren't pretty, I guess.

[Explanation Point @ExPoint140]

I wound up rating Kaiju No. 8('s first season) a 7/10, and I've had people tell me that that's *way* too high, just like a 6/10 for Solo Leveling's first season is way too high, and just. . . I think these people severely underestimate how bad anime can get.

[Explanation Point @ExPoint140]

@Tcoren1 Seriously!

[Explanation Point @ExPoint140]

@blizzic36 I counted two big ones, but yeah. It could've done Janitors Think About Life, or it could've been the new Gurren Lagann. But it chose to be what it is, instead.

[Explanation Point @ExPoint140]

Unironically the show I wish Kaiju No. 8 had been.
