Sigh... while talented, she is constantly pushing the boundaries of taste and the YouTube TOS to gain subscribers. She pretends to be some women's rights activist when she's really just a purveyor of some weird type of titillation. Yes the algorithm is capricious, yes its arbitrary, and yes YouTube is evil. But she's clearly making a bust of herself naked. I'm sure if I put my balls on YouTube they'd be more than dem…

If you think nude statues are tasteless wait until you learn about fine art!

You may not be completely wrong, but this is her answer: > YouTube's criteria are patriarchal, and male gaze focused- if men like it, it's bad and women need to change I think she's right. The kind of puritanism enforced by Youtube (or Facebook) is based on, and obsessed by, male gaze, and therefore patriarchal and retrograde. I would agree that there's a limit, and that limit is porn (yet Twitter doesn't censor porn…

This is pretty closely related to hot tub channels on Twitch though.

There is, very obviously, a whole strain of content aimed at "sexual content where you normally can't have sexual content" - and the problem for providers is not dealing with it at some point means that is now what your platform is for (which ironically pretty much devalues the original content - the taboo is the appeal).

>That statement seems incongruent with getting breast implants/plastic surgery... Yes, it does seem that way. That's on me until I'm willing to offer a more complete explanation.

We all play the cards we're dealt, but it can't hurt to try for some extra luck.

She should start an onlyfans, they’re fine with this content over there and I’d happily subscribe

It would be used against me to further discredit my technical work. There are plenty of people who would love to be able to accurately refer to me as an "Only Fans model".

How about that math teacher that published his lessons on pornhub?

She's posted many examples of videos by other YouTubers (most, if not all, men) that show reconstructions of nude female busts. Here are some:

So did Madonna. And for good reason. Quite often one needs to take a more direct approach because these misogynistic policies are so ingrained that people actually believe them to be natural . One needs to be in-your-face to get past that. We like to scoff at Muslims and their backwards policies about women, and yet somehow Western societies are blind to their own - so much so that we need to be told from time to tim…

Thank you, but this isn't for her; she doesn't need my help. This is for everyone else.

What I don't get is how in year 2022, having landed on the moon and tricked silicon into computing for us, we as a western civilization still haven't come to terms with our own bodies, other peoples' bodies, the fact that we have a sex drive, the fact that we can and do have sex for pleasure and punish ourselves for all of these things. It's insane.

> we as a western civilization

You can say "USA", no need to bring the whole "western civilization" generalization into this.

Not being funny, but there are plenty of western countries that don't go around censoring this stuff. There's one massive leader in it.

Youtube has a checkbox for not for kids and she points out that she checks this for all her videos.

Thank you for this comment — this is such an important part of the story.

The only reason I could think of for the demonetisation was because family brands didn’t want to be alongside this content. What kind of family advertiser opts to display their content on “not for kids” videos?

Unless — forgive some hyperbole — Oreos want in on the Megan Thee Stallion hype with amongst 9 year olds.

>She is a conundrum: is she titillating or expressing herself, or maximising her reach? Initially, before I was Outed I could not explain any of it. Which was...frustrating at the time to say the least. Now, as shitty as getting Outted was I can at least reference part of the explanation: https://twitter.com/RealSexyCyborg/status/139660466709473690... But as to the rest, I'm still on the fence.
