Zoosadism on YouTube needs to stop!

I think it’s time we sit down and have a discussion about Zoosadism, and more specifically how it is allowed to be broadcasted on the same platform where terms such as “murder”/“suicide” are replace with “unalive”. To pander to advertiser’s sensibilities, of course. Apparently, advertisers are less offended by baby monkeys being tortured than by people saying “sexual assault” instead of “SA”. You can’t say “gun”, but you can post videos of baby rabbits being torn apart by snapping turtles.

There are entire YouTube channels which directly profit from filming live feeding videos; which is a form of Zoosadism, fyi. Just about any snake can be converted into a frozen feeder, so don’t give me any fucking excuses for you filming kittens being fed to your boas. I have zero patience for zoosadists and will not be hosting any comments excusing them.

Meanwhile, True Crime and Educational channels must jump through hoops to avoid being demonetized.

That’s due to YouTube having inconsistent standards when it comes to what the CEO and advertisers consider to be “vulgar and violent content”. I’ve reported many videos where it’s obvious that people maim livestock to be fed to Komodo dragons. There’s also many fake animal rescue channels that abuse animals so that they can stage a dramatic rescue.

It’d be one thing if these videos emerged during the early days of YouTube. However, YouTube is a 19 year old platform with its terms of service being inconsistently enforced. Due to how large it has gotten, I think it is time that it should be regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)- the same people who regulate cable. If the CEO, Neal Mohan, refuses to actually do something about Zoosadists on YouTube, then it should be handed over to government bodies.

I will write another post should there be an update to this situation. It’s sickening that the platform allows this in the first place.

Alicia Online: An obscure hidden treasure

Please excuse the lower quality of the promotional art, most of these are wallpapers no longer available for download from official sources. Much like the game itself. As you can tell from the beautiful artwork, a lot of effort went into the marketing campaign surrounding this game. It was pitched as an MMO magical horse racing game, and there was a lot of interest surrounding it in South Korea. Not only was there beautiful artwork, but there was also a fast food tie-in paired with a celebrity endorsement of the game: At a glance, the game had a lot going for it. After all, having a great deal of marketing from big names and beloved fast food joints is great for brand awareness. Surely, this is the beginning of a beautiful IP which wins the hearts of players from all over the world. Those photos were taken in March 2011, if my sources are correct. However, in February 2014, the game permanently closed its official server due to a lack of funds to keep it going....

A Tale of Two Eevees

Would you believe me if I told you these two were created by me a week apart from each other? No? In today’s blog, I will explain how this improvement happened so quickly. The top one is my most recent drawing of Eevee, while the bottom one was drawn only a week ago. While the bottom one has a cuteness of its own, the biggest issue with it is that it has an almost cylinder shape to it that makes it look like it has a long body. I also skimped out on the shading and the placement of the front paws look weird. The top one, on the other hand, is rounder. That’s because I realized that the thing that makes Eevee’s design work so well is that it is drawn spherically. When you design a character with spheres, you’ll make them look soft and huggable. I also made the head bigger and applied more colors for more interesting shading. I also had some sharper lines going on to make it appear a little fluffier than usual. Working through Marc Brunet’s 30 day challenge is quickly changin...

Some plans for 2025

Art (c) Seven Seas Publishing 2025 is here and I have a couple of plans for this blog. First thing’s first, I will continue to make some art related posts for blogging purposes. My art page is here for readers who aren’t aware. I also plan to post long form reviews of a few fantasy books that came out during the late 90s to early 2000s. Some of them will be middle grade books, others will be Young Adult. I will talk about why I don’t like most so-called “adult novels” in a future blog post. I also plan to talk about how the education system kills many people’s love for reading and writing (albeit, unintentionally). My 2025 mission is to help bring a little bit more attention to fantasy series that came out around the same time that Harry Potter did. I’ve heard many friends of mine lament that they cannot return to t...
