What I've Been Up To Lately...
Topic: Blogging
I haven't been writing much lately, so I thought I would give anyone who actually reads this blog an idea of what I've been up to.

I have two channels on YouTube at the moment. One is mostly for mirrored videos and etc. (https://www.youtube.com/user/jspritiger) Although, I do have two text videos that I did create that are there. This channel is mostly an "activism" channel.

UppityLass (https://www.youtube.com/user/UppityLass) is the channel where I post videos about my opinions on this, that or the other.

Below are all of the videos I have made so far.

(This is Ken's favorite video)


In-troll-erance to Paganism - jspiritiger


Re: Paganism banned from youtube. - UppityLass


False DMCA Claims vs. Harrassment - UppityLass


VFXenomics (Re: May - VenomFangX) - UppityLass


So, now you can see why I haven't spent much time on this blog as of late.

Before I close, I would like to give you so idea of how serious the anti-paganism movement has gotten on YouTube recently. Aside from the videos threatening Pagans to leave YouTube with the consquence of falsely flagging videos in order to have their accounts suspended, now it seems it has become as serious as to inspire death threats.

BlueFireWitch, and outspoken Wiccan on YouTube is a friend of mine. Please take a look at her video below, before leaving this page.

Thank you, and brightest blessings.

Well... I'm officially a 'Tubehead' now.
Topic: Blogging
Yes, it's true. I have created and uploaded videos on to YouTube.

Below is the most recent video I have made.

I have two channels; jspiritiger (the one I have had since 2006) and my new one, UppityLass, that I have designated for my vlogs.

The video below is a response to a drama that has arisen on YouTube involving false DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) claims and what I deem as sexual harassment.

BTW, I HATE the sound of my voice!!!

The Evolution of VenomFangX
Topic: Blogging
I have avoided talking about VenomFangX (a Creationist, Fundamentalist Christian on YouTube) because, quite frankly, I believe he gets entirely too much attention (both positive and negative) as it is... and to be brutally honest, I don't like him.

The war between the atheists and the Christians has waged on for sometime now. As a Pagan, I am thankfully quite some distance from the fray and as such I have, I believe, a more impartial view of the situation.

The backstory, in brief, is this; Sometime ago, there was a dispute between VenomFangX and a user by the name of Thunderf00t (an atheist). The dispute was in regards to material that Thunderf00t had used in two of his videos, and VenomFangX's belief that it was illegal under Copyright laws for him to do so. VenomFangX then filed a DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) against Thunderf00t and reported him to YouTube. The videos in question were removed, and Thuderf00t's channel was suspended.

The following, is a video journal, of sorts, of this incident:

Introduction:


Chapter One - Censorship:


Chapter Two - VenomFangX:


Chapter Three - A Friend, a lie:


Chapter Four - Legal Strength:


Chapter Five - A Question of Justice:


Chapter Six (Finale) - Humility


So... did VenomFangX fade away? Did he disappear into the shame of shadows, to be heard from nevermore? Of course not.

He has moved on, evolved into a YouTube-Evangelist, asking his subscribers to donate money to him for his street ministry which he vlogs on his channel, still espousing how evolution is a lie and claiming the earth is a mere 6,000 years old, designed by an "intelligent creator".

He was a liar... now he is a charlatan and a thief as well. A friend of mine on YouTube, dprjones, documents this evolution the best:

Evolution and a challenge to VenomfangX
(This video was flagged and removed from dprjones' channel by YouTube. This is a mirror of that video.)

The atheists now have called for those who feel VenomFangx is disingenuous in his desire to donate any monies to charity, to aide them in a sort of video charity drive to be paid directly to the website of the charity they have chosen. Here is the link, via the video mirror on my channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imvtehVlucM

This drive is not to support atheism, it is a show of support of those in Africa who are suffering and need donations, as opposed to a scam artist who's only interest is in lining his own pockets.

Below are links of that charity, as well as the links of the YouTube users involved and users worth checking out.

Stupid should hurt.
Topic: Blogging

I dare you to get through the entirety of the video below. I warn you, it will be 8 minutes and 30 seconds you won't get back.

Now, I don't know if "Jesusophile" is a YouTube Troll (someone who creates purposely controversial vblogs in order to generate hits on his YouTube channel), a satirist, or an idiot that is easier to program than a VCR.  But, I have never laughed so hard at something that seemingly was never intended to be funny.  My favorite of course being when he said "Giraffes are stupid", but kudos to the idea of giraffes with wings too, there's a vision that will be with me for awhile.

Apparently this nice, if not naive, young man from the Netherlands is unaware that there is, in fact, evidence of evolution... it's called, FOSSILS!! (( eyeroll ))

The funniest, if not the scariest thing, about this is how many people have actually joined his channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/Jesusophile.  Nearly 1,000 and still growing and was awarded the "#72 Most Viewed (This Month) - Netherlands".  But then, its really no wonder when you see his other vblogs with titles such as; "Why Condoms Don't Really Offer Protection Against STDs", "Why Homosexuality Is Against God's Will", and "Why Its Okay For Sex To Hurt the Vagina".   All of which I felt might be too controversial to include in this blog.  However, if you would like to have a good laugh at the stunning stupidity, and have the time, please feel free to give them a watch as well.

From what I've read of the comments that "tubers" have given, the consensus seems to be that he is a satirist, although the user "Jesusophile" has never confirmed or denied this.  If this is true, he gives one stellar performance.  I admit that I am often gullable, but to me, at least, he appears to be genuine in his sincere belief in what he is saying.

The problem with videos like the one above is that, without a disclaimer stating that what you are watching is either humor or satire, it can be assumed that what you see is what you get.  This can be potentially dangerous if the viewer is swayed by what he/she sees and takes what is being said to heart without any benefit of being educated by facts.  Most especially when it comes to the subjects of condoms, sex, homosexuality, and female sexual identity.

There is enough misinformation and prejudice that exists in our society already.

In conclusion I leave you with the following:
