hey netizens! i'm not sure how many people are aware, but youtube's been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that can't be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate

BUT, if you're a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard to get rid of it!

youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false)

youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0)

youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, [])

youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)

reblog to help keep the internet less annoying and to tell corporations that try shit like this to go fuck themselves <3

Anonymous asked:

So whenever your disability pride flag is shared on tiktok, ive noticed people asking why do disabled people need a pride flag, or saying that we dont deserve one because we are "co opting" the gay pride movement... and i am honestly at a loss at what to say to them

Okay, then: here’s some Disability Pride Talking points for you, when you come upon that assumption:

First: The Disability Rights Movement gained steam in the U.S. at the same time as the Civil Rights Movement was advocating for racial equality, and the Women’s Rights movement was advocating for gender equality – all in the same decade as the Stonewall Riots.

Second: it may seem like Disability Pride Month is “copying” Queer Pride Month, because July comes right after June. But the reason we celebrate Disability Pride Month in July is because that’s when The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed: on July 26, 1990. This was the first Disabilities Rights act in the world. It was followed in 1995 by the Disabilities Discrimination Act in the U.K., and in 2019 in Canada.

Third: on April 5, 1977, the (American) Nationwide 504 Sit-in (Wikipedia article) began, to protest the fact that three presidents in a row had been stalling for four years to implement Disability Civil Rights legislation. Disability advocates staged sit-ins in Federal Buildings for the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, and Seattle, San Fransisco, and Washington D.C..

The sit-in in Washington D.C. lasted 28 hours. The Sit-in in San Fransisco lasted 25 Days, and remains the longest occupation of a Federal Government building in U.S. History (It was epic). The civil rights group The Black Panthers also helped with logistical support.

The police tried to force the people inside to leave by cutting phone lines, forgetting that there were people who knew American Sign Language both inside the building, and outside, in the crowd, and they relayed messages back and forth through the windows (excuse me while I take a Cackle break).

Finally: Disabled people are human beings, and deserve all the human rights as everyone else. But a lot of people in authority, look at our lives from the outside, decide that we already have a low-quality of life (without actually asking us), and deciding that it wouldn’t be so bad if we died. You know, at the start of the COVID-19 outbreak in this country, it was a fairly common policy that if hospitals ran low on ventilators, they’d just take them from disabled people who needed to use them every day? Remember that?

That’s why we have to get loud.

A personal response to bad fic comments

chromatographic

So I’m in fandom spaces basically all the time, this is not news if you know me at all. It’s probably why you follow me. 

In the past 6 months - 1 year, my friends and I have been noticing a bit of an uptick on Bad Comments to our fanfics. We’ve noticed this on our fics. We’ve noticed this on other’s fics. 

We don’t have statistics - that’d be near impossible to collect, anyway, but it seems they’re on the rise. As I’m starting to publish more fic lately, I want to share my personal policy on this - and that is the fact that I’m not going to tolerate bad comments on my fanfic.

(I will happily also step in for other fanauthors, as well - though I do only do this with permission of the fic’s author.)

My stock reply to bad comments is below. You may borrow and use it freely, no credit needed.

Dear Human,
You have left the type of comment that falls into a category we fanauthors call entitled. If you would like an explanation on how your comment qualifies, please press 1. If you require advice on how to leave better comments, please press 2. If you would like to argue that your comment does not qualify, please hang up and never call back. Rude or entitled responses from you in the future may lead you to be blocked. This is your only warning. Have a nice day!

If the comment isn’t “entitled” but falls into another bad category, it’s usually outright harassment and will get both an immediate block and a report to AO3, or whoever the hostsite winds up being.

I have three questions I ask before sending this message:

1. Did they say anything at all about the fic they’re commenting on, and was it nice?

For a bad comment, the answer to this is “no”.

2. Does the comment ask or demand something of me, as a fanauthor.

For a bad comment, the answer is “yes”.

Comments that are entitled will have both qualifications. They will get the stock reply above.  If they only fit one of the questions, I will consider a more mollified report. 

I already know what people are going to argue when they read this - 

But Chroma! What if the commenter doesn’t know any better and is young/new/neurodivergent!

Okay first of all, I am autistic myself and am perfectly capable of fucking manners and learning social norms, so I resent the automatic implication some of y’all have that all neurospicy people are inherently rude or vice versa. 

Secondly, that is why I left the phone options. If the commenter wants to be better they can use them as a jumping off point for the future conversation. If they legitimately want to learn how to not be a dick in fandom they can reach out.

But Chroma! What if the commenter didn’t realize what they were doing wrong?

They they can politely go “oh shit, my bad,” apologize to me, and leave a real fucking meaningful comment.

If you want to use this policy, go ahead. If you don’t, that’s fine too. If you think that this is a piece of shit policy then feel free to ignore this post and, in the future, everything I say and write.

In the meantime, I’ve been in fandom for over two decades now. So this Fandom Old is gonna enforce etiquette in her spaces and live her best fandom life.

Have a good evening, everyone.

For me, I’d want to distinguish very clearly between “politely requests/expresses a desire” vs. “demands”, and I’ll probably write my own stock reply, but yeah.

The thing is, we’re responsible not only for our intentions, but also the actual results of our actions. I won’t say intent doesn’t matter at all, but it doesn’t undo the harm caused. And it’s not the responsibility of the hurt person to do the fixing.

So yeah, it might sting to get this boiler plate reply to an unintentionally bad comment if you honestly were doing your best, and that’s gonna suck for you.

But your response at that point needs to be to get some uninvolved person to go over your reply and help you suss out what happened. The person who was hurt isn’t the person who is responsible for making you feel better about hurting them by accident.
