‘Active shooter at YouTube HQ’

Sick of idiots from all sides of the political spectrum that think privately-owned social media platforms have some kind of free speech duty and that censoring/marginalising certain views is a violation of their personal rights. Until we get a nationalised Facebook/YouTube/Twitter (can I nominate ‘OurSpace’) it’s their fucking platform, their fucking rules, they owe you nothing.
 
What amazes me is that not only do some people make a living from Youtube, but how much some Patreon donors donate to some channels...

Agreed. I don'y understand why some cunt getting banned from Twitter is an attack on free speech for all.

Yeah, let’s have all communication routed via the Government. Then everything will be free and transparent and honest.

I’d wager it’d be more transparent than what we have now, but point taken.
 
Could someone do that clever thing where the thread gets labelled with the date or something so that people don't think there is currently an active shooter at YouTube?
 
And there are also claims already flying about that the whole thing is a hoax and the shooter is a bot or AI or computer generated. Because her facial expression doesn’t change in her videos and because “No one would put out videos like this, it’s just too weird. I can’t believe they think we’ll fall for this”.

There's a thread on Mumsnet claiming she must have been trans because no cis woman would do this, right? :facepalm:

Its certainly unusual this time that the shooter was a women, but yeah, beyond that mumsnet and politics.

It sounds like she was targeting YouTube because she was angry about not getting paid, not anything to do directly with animal rights, though she does look a bit like a comic book artist's idea of a vegan supervillain.

For some reason that image reminds me of this one:

Definitely unusual - but would be just as unusual if it had been a trans woman. It's their assumption about trans women that upsets me most.
 
Reading some scummy stuff online about how the shooter was clearly mentally ill and clearly a liberal which is "no coincidence" :(

It's coming from an American, so by liberal he means far-left etc :rolleyes:
 
Jesus. I knew an Iranian woman called Nasim. Maybe, you know, it's one of those names that can be either male or female?

Sometimes I hate the internet. I truly believed many years ago it would unite people and bring out the best in them :(

Aww man, Netscape 2 in 1994, finding out there were people in this world that liked the same music as I did, newsgroups, peace love unity and respect!

Didn't last fucking long :'(



(except for the music bit)
 
I'm concerned this particular narrative is going to stick.

I'm not surprised you're concerned that's a whole lot of speculative nonsense based upon no more that a couple of videos and photos. It's pretty mystifying why anyone would believe a women was incapable of this.
 
They obviously haven't seen me on the right day.
I don't know what planet they're on tbh. The woman who started the gofundme to sue labour is currently arguing with my partner, absolutely insisting that she has the right to call out the youtube shooter as a VIOLENT MALE!!!
