Yeah, I think you're out of luck on that one. The institutional capture is strong, from what I can tell Youtube is the most tolerant for now, but that may change. It's scary how much power these large platforms have for silencing political speech.

Youtube censors a lot of words and phrases having to do with GC stuff. It's really the only type of comment I make that I have to copy before I submit because of the high chance of site-wide automatic removal. And if it's automatically removed the first time YT machine learning bots remember the overall passage you posted so some heavy editing out and rearrangement of words or substitution of letters with symbols has to be done before you'll be able to get your general comment posted again. Which can take a while. It's so bad I have to do meticulous prose testing on a privated/unlisted video whenever this happens. The comments will get removed in 20 seconds if it doesn't go through. I don't post on YT about this stuff as much anymore because of how much of my time is wasted.

That's surprising. You can find plain old comments like that everywhere. Plenty of conservative, unwoke people in comment sections who outright say stuff like "so-and-so is a man," using former names, misgendering of celebrities, etc.

I don't know exactly what the deal is, but my comments about trans get removed by YT. I'm responding to someone right now and it's getting removed. I pin it in my own videos and it still gets removed. 20 second timer.

I bet you've been flagged in some way. Big Tech is fucking sinister.

That sounds possible. I should probably just use a new account to comment already, but I'm stubborn about using any alts. The account I'm using I've used for years, and I only use the one.
