@KitsuneroVT Because at the end of the day, any (sane) viewer wants their favorite entertainer to be happy and supported IRL especially with how crazy the internet can get.
Or people are just weird and wanna be cucked or something idk 🤷
@Cherri_Piiie@HakuUnfiltered@ChibiReviews Finnish nationwide register study: Gender-referred adolescents/young adults showed significantly higher rates of severe psychiatric morbidity. Psychiatric needs did not decrease after medical gender reassignment and often increased.

🚨Update on the Youtube situation 🚨
This morning shortly after I started my stream, Youtube suddenly unbanned my commentary on the Joe Rogan clip, where I was banned because Nikki in Joe's clip said the word "K*NK DOT COM". I found out about this from my own livestream chat because there was zero communication from Youtube.
No email, no DM, no twitter response, no dashboard notification - nothing. Not even a smoke signal.
Now this is great, however... My channel still has a strike, I still was not able to upload content until the 7 day ban ended (3 hours later).
The video that initially got me the strike for was... violent or graphic content (mosquitos getting squished) is still banned by Youtube and my channel still has a strike as a result of this.
There is a real possibility where I will have to discontinue reacting to or looking at any short form or clip content, because it feels like Youtube is targeting me with extreme prejudice.
The vast majority of warnings, or strikes, or community guideline violations that I get are almost always posted somewhere else on Youtube or on someone else's channel - but for some reason me reacting to it is deemed unacceptable. Then I have to go through this song and dance of begging for them to look into it by complaining on twitter for it to MAYBE get resolved after days or weeks.
That Joe Rogan clip? I obviously tried to appeal it and was instantly denied. It takes me begging them to look into it on a third party platform to even have a chance of their mistake being corrected - which is so unfair in my eyes since most creators don't even have half the reach I do.
I don't know this person at all, but it sure is weird that this is like the 5th vtuber in the last 3-4 days that's been banned off Youtube on my timeline
hmmmmmmmmmmmm 🤔it's almost like Google hates vtubers or something...
I wanted to wait for my own feelings to settle before I say this so I don't misspeak but I’m desperately reaching out for advice.
I am being harassed and stalked by a former community member I banned last year. Just to be clear, I tried to work with him a lot while he was in my community but he couldn’t stop making up drama, lying, and manipulating other members into fighting each other & constant attention seeking. Ultimately for my own sanity and the health of my community as a whole I finally banned him in November of 2025 after 8 months of putting up with his antics.
Recently, I had a virtual meet and greet with an incredible talent agency during Offkai, I met so many adorable flumpkins and had an amazing time! Unfortunately the final person in line turned out to be my harasser. I froze and had no idea what to say, he told me I was making this awkward, claimed that he got therapy and is so much better, lied that he never talked poorly about me in other people’s spaces, and that his newest revelation is I never cared about him while he was in my community. The amazing company hosting me quickly removed him from the meet and greet once they realized what was happening and I’m so grateful, it was an unfortunate thing but they couldn’t have handled it better.
This did not taint my experience as a whole, he is obviously very unwell and I banned him for a reason, but I am still shaken.
It makes me very worried for Twitchcon mostly. I met him at Twitchcon last year and there were quite a few uncomfortable interactions. I never thought he would show up to my Offkai meet & greet and I’m not about to repeat the same mistake and say he’d never show up at the event he knows I’ll be there in person for. I need help. I really don’t know what to do, if anyone has experienced something like this especially as a creator I’m asking for your wisdom. How did you handle it, what safety measures did you take? What can I do to make sure I'm safe?
🚨I GOT BANNED OFF YOUTUBE FOR 7 DAYS OVER THIS 🚨
YouTube struck & deleted my video for ‘violent graphic content’ over watching a dude kill mosquitoes
Hundreds of insect flamethrower & killing videos stay up fine. Appeal rejected immediately because AI moderation is horrible.
youtube is such a dogwater platform man
they fuck over huge creators with millions of subscribers,
the smaller ones with a couple of thousand
and everyone in between
they're literally too big to fail at this point
@ZanuszB@ShitpostRock What so special about them? From what I see only, in Germany its pretty much the equivalent of our Müller convenience store chain
