I don’t know what’s more galling, the way “Christians” abuse youtube’s flagging system to attack LGBT videos and censor speech against religion or the way youtube allows them to get away with it and offers no remedy to those who’ve been on the business end of right wing flagging campaigns. For instance, I did a video wearing a swimsuit and lingerie that is totally street legal to make a point. My point is how quickly “Christian” bigots would flag it to censor what I said, and yet these same people leave unflagged thousands of video clips that are gratuitously sexual and far more graphic. Take a look at this clip and start traversing the related videos. See how long they’ve been up, how many views they’ve had, and how many are flagged as “unsuitable for minors.”

The above image illustrates this point. To the left is a screen capture of a sexy video that’s FAR more adult than mine. It’s been up for 16 months, has nearly one million views and still is not flagged adult. Your twelve-year old could be watching it right now. Are we to believe that out of nearly 1,000,000 views not one “Christian” mounted a campaign against it? I’ll bet if thonggirl were talking against the bible while she scrubbed the shower it would have been flagged 15 months ago. However, because my video denounces the bible as the prime source of our culture’s shame for the human body, it was flagged by “Christians” in under 24 hours. (FYI, for those who don’t know me I am something of a nudist, and I support the Free Speech Coalition and the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom.)

One of my all-time heroes is Larry Flynt because he stands up for freedom of speech and freedom of the press, and he exposes hypocrisy at high levels whenever he sees it. Larry Flynt is a far more patriotic American than Jerry Falwell and all of the rest of the American Taliban put together. The religious right wants to control how you live, restrict your freedoms and impose their “morality” on the rest of us. Larry would perfectly understand the intent of my video, but sadly these moralizing little weenies do not. All they can see is an attack on their beliefs, and they will even break rules and false flag to defend them. The ironic thing is, by reacting fearfully to criticism of their beliefs, by abusing youtube’s flagging system — cheating — to censor people, all these “Christians” are doing is demonstrating exactly how little faith they have in their God. They would rather break the Commandment against bearing false witness than either rationally debate with an opposing person or just pray for them and moving on the way I believe a person of true faith would. But these American Talibans have no true faith. They are power mad political types or moneygrubbers fleecing their sheep or sheep who have been indoctrinated into a mindset of fear they mistakenly call faith.

The truly exasperating part is that youtube does not seem willing to address these abuses. Spend some time in their user forums and you’ll see many, many posts railing against false flagging and false copyright claims, complaining about votebot and other organized attacks against specific videos and entire channels, especially atheist material. If anyone has any idea how to bring pressure on youtube to address this flaw in their flagging system, please leave it in the comments below. In the meantime, hold your head up high and speak up for freedom. Its’ the American thing, the HUMAN thing to do.
