No probs. It was either going to be a quote from Chyler or about sanvers. Or I was going to look for one from Sarah shahi or Amy acker about shoot. Priorities

What's going on with YouTube

And Tftnt

[Heda_Khaleesi]

as far as i read they have a new restricted mode to block innapropriate content and by "inappropriate" they mean: everything related to LGBT like coming out videos, Carmilla episodes that aren't even about sexuality, video edits of ship that doesn't have anything sexual...I MEAN WTF??!! i am very very disappointed in youtube!

sorry Em, must have overlooked that youtube post of yours in the old thread. i just saw the news now and i am so angry!

[la villanelle]

Anything with offensive content (ie homosexual content that has been flagged) will be restricted unless you change your settings.

So the default is that homosexual content is offensive

You can have a clip of a TV murder and thats not offensive, but two women kissing is. Oh how I love straight privilege

YouTube is a mess, yet another way of telling us that we don't belong here, that some spaces aren't for us.

[SongIceFire]

I am shocked and sad about this Youtube thing

[la villanelle]

They released a statement thats basically "lol, yeah we know its homophobic. But we cant anger the small minded so we're doing it anyway"

[MysteryXX]
