I was surprised to hear this and heard it when I spotted the headline to a Sargon Of Akkad video and he talked about it, stated what he thought it was over and I agree and linked in a petition.
What seems to be an official story is that his cartoon Bear apparently appeared for a few seconds or a few minutes in an old TV programme.
I think I saw something about someone finding out where the cartoon Bear came from and contacted them about it.
Several people are quite furious about it and I dare say there will be videos about it from the likes of MundaneMatt, maybe even Thunderf00t, Charmingman and many others?
I have no doubt this will turn out to be one of the Social Justice Warriors and one with a well known name too? The list is long ...
- Anita Sarkeesian
- LaughingWitch
- Jenny McDermott
- Kristi Winters
- Zarna Jooshi
There are a couple of others whose names escape me.
Either that or it will be one of the followers of the above or someone that swoons overr one of the above and do anything to get their attention and impress them?
However in the meantime I thought I would put up the link to the petition as others may well be interested in signing?
Many of the sensible YouTubers and normally you can tell them by their long list of subscribers, likes and followers, like me that has not subscribed to any of them, have been talking about this happening on YouTube for a very long time. Some of those have created there own YouTube videos about this and even state that they all expected crap like this to start and now it has. Though technically speaking it first happened to the man with the loud feet, Thunderf00t. On that occasion it was unsuccessful.
But this doughnuts really do not give up and do not allow comments on their own channels a majority of the time, say what they like in the name of free speech but want to preach to others about what they can and cannot say.
If that sounds bad already you want to see some of the things they demand.
I predict a hug backlash against YouTube unless the infamous Bear is back quickly and many people have been gradually moving over to other hosting sites with Vimeo, Minds.com and GAB being some I have seen people mention.
EDIT:
I also am now hearing that it has also happened to someone else known as Edgy Sphinx or EdgySphinx.
