I haven't been posting much here lately because I've been busy on my YouTube channel. I now have 107 Playlists. Also, I have been helping out a couple of fellow YouTubers who requested that some videos they made be mirrored on your own channel.
OK, I'm getting off topic here for a little while . . . . . . .
. . . . . because what I have to talk about is another example of bullying, not in school this time, but in another arena, on the Internet, in this case, on YouTube, and this one is not between the athletic and the nonathletic, but rather, between intellectuals and the bullying from anti-intellectual religious fundamentalists attempting to have some YouTube videos censored that are produced by those of us who support science education.
So, that's what I have been doing. Helping some fellow YouTubers by mirroring some videos for them on my channel.
What happened was that
potholer54, another YouTube user who makes educational videos on Evolution, well . . . every year he makes a video for possible nominees for the
Annual Golden Crocoduck Award, an award that is given to the Creationist who makes the stupidest comments and the most grievous errors in science.
Well, his latest video for this years Crocoduck Nominee was removed from YouTube, so he sent out copies of his videos to friends so they could mirror if for him, and on these channels where the video is mirrored, they have also requested that other users mirror the video on their own channels.
So, that's what I have been doing. I have joined in on the fray, and helping some of my fellow YouTubers by mirroring some videos at their request, which involves downloading the videos to save on my computer's hard drive, and then uploading them to my channel and adding the description and the tags.
It's fun helping out those who support science education.
What happened was,
potholer54 got into some trouble over his video. The person who is this years nominee for the Crocoduck Award, this time a young female Muslim Fundamentalist instead of the usual male Christian Creationists, she got all upset, filed a false DMCA claim against it, and she and her other Muslim friends and sympathizers had the video flagged as hate speech.
OK,
potholer54 NEVER made any hateful comments against her or against Islam. These guys who put up their educational videos on science have never made hateful comments against any religion or any person of any religion. NO! All they have done was made fun of some of their Creationist beliefs while pointing out the errors in their beliefs when compared with science.
To do a parody or satire of someone's video is not hate speech. Some of their beliefs are so silly and stupid they should be held up to ridicule. Sorry, but if you believe, for example: that the earth is flat, or if you're a geocentrist, then you're going to get ridiculed.
And yes, there are some geocentrists out there on YouTube who believes that the sun and planets and everything out there revolves around the earth.
So, every year, these idiots get nominated for
The Annual Golden Crocoduck Award!!!
Well, this young Muslim lady, she owns a business in cosmetics, and on her videos she gives advice on skin care, and all kinds of make up and beauty tips. Then one day she decides to make a video attempting to tackle science and Darwin's Evolution, so she's now this years possible nominee for the
Annual Golden Crocoduck Award!!! Sorry honey, but you really should just stick to giving tips on nail polish!!! OK???
Then another fellow YouTuber,
WildwoodClaire1 (Coffee With Claire) put up her own video criticizing this young Muslim chick for her behavior of filing false DMCA claims to have some videos by
potholer54 censored.
But then, her latest videos was taken down for "hate speech" when all she did was call this Muslim chick
Amenakin a moron and a cry baby when she was nominated for this years Crocoduck Award.
OK,
WildwoodClaire1 did not attack Islam, she only made fun of this young lady, doing a parody of her because of her recent behavior.
Doing parodies and satires is NOT hate speech, therefore it is allowed.
Here is a link to my playlist.

Here is the next nominee for this year's coveted Golden Crocoduck. Sorry, but the science that's explained in this video is so simple I can't even source it.
If women find this video embarrassing, don't worry, you're still vastly outnumbered by men when it comes to spouting unscientific bullshit in the public arena!
By the way, Fair Use. Look it up!

I just keep laughing as more and more people join in the important battle for free speech and LAWFUL use of other YouTubers' videos." End Quote

Notice, none of these videos attack the Islamic religion. It's only mentioned in passing that
Amenakin happens to be a Muslim.
Also, these videos are not meant to be an attack on women either.
It's only stated, that now, for the first time, a female Muslim is being nominated for the Annual Golden Crocoduck Award, where as, in the past, the winners of the award have all been Fundamentalist Creationist Christian males.
I would compare
Amenakin to being a female Muslim version of
VenomFangX a male Christian Fundamentalist who had filed false DMCA claimes, crying boo hoo to YouTube because short segments of their videos were used by other YouTubers.
Yesterday, when I went to Claire's channel, it looked like it was taken down, all the comments, the avatar, and links to all her videos, just a blank screen, nothing but black.
I went back to her channel about an hour later, and she had put up a featured video on her channel page, but everything else was still gone.
My YouTube friend
WildwoodClaire1 (Coffee With Claire) had created a video in reaction to what's been going on, because she's now disgusted with YouTube and their policies. When her "Dim Bulb" video was taken down after it had been flagged as "hate speech" they didn't even bother to review the video first before making their decision.
Anyway, here is the video that Claire put up in reaction.
Hate Speech
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJESpNVco0w
Uploaded by WildwoodClaire1 on Sep 17, 2011
The message should be intuitively obvious, but in case you need an explanation: One of my videos was flagged for "hate speech" because it made fun of the intellectual limitations of a vapid, vacuous skin-care products and makeup pimp. Since much of my work on YouTube has involved humorously pointing out that idiots are in fact idiots, I can only conclude that my work has largely consisted of "hate speech." YouTube is a strange world in which real world hatemongers can blithely flaunt loathsome, febrile nonsense but where a bit of fun cannot be had with a science illiterate if she dons scarf and wimpers "I am a victim," especially if her videos are bringing in ad revenue to YouTube. Personally, I look forward to the day YouTube crashes and burns as a commercial enterprise. I for one will dance and spit all over its lonely, unmourned grave.
----------------------------------------
The video does not have any speech in it at all.
First it shows a white screen with text that says . . .
Recent events have led me to conclude
that this MAY be acceptable "free" expression
under YouTube Communiticy Guidelines
And all you hear is white noise like static, and then an old style Test Pattern appears like they had back in the 1950s when most people had only black & white TV and along with that annoying high pitched tone that accompanies the Test Pattern.
Well, I have been sending her private messages supporting her and telling her not to give up.
This evening I just check up on her channel, and almost everything is back up again on her channel page. So, she has restored it.
What she had done yesterday was a reaction to all the false DMCA claims made against a couple of her videos.
But now, almost everything is back up again on her channel, and she will continue making videos, and her weekly Coffee With Claire videos that we all love so much.
Anyway . . . . .
A word of WARNING!
To file a false DMCA claim, you do so under the penalty of perjury, and you can get up to five years for that.
Anyway . . . . . . .
The YouTube members who put up science videos on Evolution are getting bullied around by both Christians and Muslim Fundamentalists trying to censor videos through false flagging, vote-bots, massive down-thumbing campaigns, and filing false DMCA claims.
But we are fighting back!!!
And I'm happy to be a part of it.
Claire and I, we have been communicating with each other through private messages, and I have been getting private message from other fellow YouTubers thanking me for mirroring these videos.
Anyway . . . . . . .
BACK GETTING ON TOPIC AGAIN!!!
OK, suppose I were a parent and I had a son who wanted to play in sports.
Well, I would rather it was not football because of the risk of severe injuries. I would prefer if it were basketball instead.
But, whatever sport he chooses, I would instruct my son, that just because he's a school athlete, that it does not make him superior to nonathletic students, and if I ever hear of him bullying the nonathletic students in his school, I would have him pulled off the team if he persists.
Also, I would insist that he do his homework assignments and keep up his grades in his academic subjects, and if I see that his grades are falling off, then again, I would have him pulled off the team, because I believe academics is more important than sports.
I would not want my kid to be just another dumb jock, especially one who's a bully.
I won't abide anything like that.
