HERE WE GO GORLS, START TO FINISH
this is going to be the last thing I say for a while cause I need a damn break from this. So I might as well make it count. The bridges are burned, and even if they weren't that is not a circle I would want to be part of. so I'm just going to let go and let god. I have nothing to lose, really.
Let's start with Justine, since out of everything being said about me the one thing that stung was her reducing friendship to "we were friendly" to lessen her association with me. Not that I blame her, she's got to protect her coins. Also I know she will see this because she checks KF pretty regularly
Edit (updated): How the situation with procrastiTara went down:
- She called me a raging asshole primarily because I made fun of Dani and MBP's appearance (it's only okay when the haydurs do it to ALR, I guess)
- after I saw that tweet I reached out to her to let her know that stung but I get why she said it, and to thank her for her support shes given in the past (I mean I also thanked her for kicking me when I was down but like I said...I'm a sensitive one)...then I read a few more of her comments on this situation. So it seems to be that her issue isn't about the copyright strike, despite her "kinda sorta mad but not" stance on it. In conversation between us, she fully supported and understood it. Now that I'm not around and people are still in their feelings (about a video that is back up, btw) she's backpedaling. Which again, I understand because...well, this is her job. Speaking of
- Justine doesn't care about ALR...like at all. At least not for a very long while. So any time you've heard her express concern in her reacts/livestreams? It's not sincere. Mostly. She does it purely because its a reliable source of income (and no she's not on welfare so no one ask or bring that theory up lol). She has expressed several times that she so badly wants to make content about other topics on KickingGeese, but doesn't because she's backed herself into a corner and is afraid of what her audience will say (her words not mine). She would much rather be making political videos but instead does ALR reacts. This haydur "community" is more reliable to lean into than doing what she really wants to do
- she does seem genuinely excited that ALR likes her all of a sudden and was in her livestream. Hard to keep track. I guess what we're seeing here is a pattern of Justine not being able decide who she likes/dislikes. Or I guess it changes circumstantially.......which I guess strengthens her own comment about having trouble making friends. But that's what happens when you try to pick every side and no side in unison.
- Speaking of the community, she doesn't even like MBP so why she's so in her feelings that I called an obese man obese...no idea. IDK her opinions about Dani so maybe it was the horse-face comment.
- Which is interesting that she's acting shocked by this because she's been fully aware of my posts here...like if I've defended her in the past she's thanked me. And she had NO ISSUE with stuff I've said about the other haydurs up until today...because I guess one of them finally thought to check my post history here to find more shit to get mad about, and again, it benefits her more to act like this is news to her than to just be honest
- Oh and Justine, since you're reading this, I only keep secrets for my friends. Since you decided we aren't any more then...well...have fun explaining all this to people. For better or worse I've at least stayed consistent in my stance on certain people. You don't. I'm sure your gaggle will take your side because people like this haydur shit more than they like the truth...which you're already fully aware of. And you can play victim and spin it however you like. I have stuck up for you here, even when your audience was saying rude shit about me. Definitely won't be doing that again.
Now let's move on to DaNEIGHHH and her sister whomst nobody was ever talking to but I guess equine genes and inserting yourself into shit runs in the family
- saw her "documentary" posted here. Said to myself oh yay, this shit again
- in her video she says "I think his name was Archie" this to the people mad at my copyright claim, was "full credit" everyone else got credited in her description but me
- if you googled "archie amberlynn" or "archie amberlynn cycle" my channel was the 2nd hit and a few other high hits would have given her the answer
- so basically she can make a 2hr video butt not do a simple google search?
- what also prompted me to take action was her use of copyrighted music in that video and others. if everyone else has to use royalty free with clearly stated CC licenses, she can too
- in her video she also asked people to leave a comment saying who to credit
- I did exactly that. The video had about 2k views at this point
- I checked back, my comment was no longer there. deleted I guess. video at 3k views
- I rant on twitter (full description of that in the Dani section of this) like the big burning queen I am
- in the reddit thread its pretty mixed between THIS IS AWESOME with a bunch also pointing out that this is lazy and nothing new. guess which opinion I agree with?
- several people left comments telling her who to credit. video is at about 8k views at this point. she's liking and commenting on OTHER comments but not those
- full "fuck this" mode is activated, I issue a copyright claim
- fast forward: claim goes through
- now procrastiTara gets all chatty. She didn't know who/why youtube took her video down which is bullshit: youtube tells you who made the claim. She could have then, within the time limit, reached out to me, but still didnt. Or maybe she just doesn't check her emails? But I just want to pause and say this:
- I shouldn't have to chase people to follow the rules youtube sets in place or to give credit where it is due
- Anyways she claims ignorance and assumes its a bullshit claim
- I tell her whats up
- she acts like a victim of ignorance, yet...if you see how everything led up to this that doesn't really fly or make a lot of sense. I don't buy the act. we go back and forth a bit because I'm not buying into her "someone please help me fix this!" distress
- she also makes 2 community posts claiming big bad archie wont tell her what she did wrong
- I give her timestamps of what to cut out. I also tell her that its not my business but she miiiiiiiight want to reconsider using copyrighted music if she doesn't want this to happen again
- she removes the community posts. we're settled. SHE AGREES IT WASNT A BULLSHIT STRIKE (do you hear that fine people of reddit/haydur nation? the one person it actually affected understands - so you can too)
- the matter between us is cool and settled and she's going to reupload the video. Up until Dani and her equally uninspiring sister decide that this super duper affects them
At this point I:
- I eagerly await another "thin skin" passive aggressive tweet from all this. Grab a salt lick, sis. It's a long read.
- For context: I ranted on twitter about being tired of people using the cycle for content - not simply using/sharing the image. not referencing it. I mean taking it, parroting it, and getting adsense and clout that I certainly do not benefit from. This is different from an ALR/Chantal copyright strike "thats illegolll" shtick because their channels arguably BENEFIT from reaction channels, and the OG content creator is clear. This is not the case with what I was talking about.
- I made this clear several times but people want to act like its very not that because it just sounds more interesting/petty that I would try to gatekeep a damn image
- a day later, when ALR was back on her phase 1 bullshit, Dani posted the cycle and said "just gonna leave this here". Someone else tagged me and said "please credit Archie Type for this" I responded by saying nah thats not necessary, its the internet, people be sharing shit, I was talking about people who...well see context point. Which did not apply to Dani
- Dani deleted that tweet and unfollowed me
- Then the copyright CLAIM went through Dani puts up passive-aggressive tweet #1 saying I have thin skin for doing it. (sidenote: youtube decides that shit. I claimed copyright. They decide if the claimant gets a portion of the adsense, part of the video muted, or a full on takedown. So this whole narrative of me trying to take the video down...wasn't my intention but thats how it panned out. I still stand by it cause oh the hell well, be more careful next time) MBP retweeted it
- her sister appears out of nowhere saying what I did was extreme but at the same time saying she's had her work stolen before. Also saying I should have watermarked it...even though I said at the time I posted it, I had no idea it would extend past KF, plus that was almost a year ago and its been uploaded/shared so many places and again...just using the image is not the issue (even tho it still falls under copyright law just FYI)
- at this point things between me and procrastiTara...you know..the only 2 parties this involves? was settled. Everything died down other than a few angry comments on the reddit post about that ALR doc
- and around that time I commented to let them know my side of things, why I did it, etc. within minutes it was downvoted to hell so I was like "ok, clearly this isn't my crowd and they care more about recycled ALR content than anything I have to say" and deleted it because between that and the few stupid comments/tweets I got calling me an egomanic piece of shit, etc. I was kind of already over trying to explain myself in the same way multiple times
- one of the redditors named Cole (who was biggest mad about the take down) made a new thread with a screenshot because hey, its internet drams, why the hell wouldn't you
- Dani's sister comes back into that thread to repeatedly stoke the flames, drawing this whole thing out even longer than necessary
- Dani confusing self defense with having a "thin skin" REMEMBER: it is perfectly ok to react to anything and everything ALR does/says that bothers you. No one else is allowed to be reactive or they are thin-skinned.
- Also Dani saying I'm "afraid of the farmers"...this from the same group of people who actively lie about visiting here because they are afraid of it and their audience.
A MBP addendum:
- was totally neglecting my exam studies (still kind of am! awesome!)
- had people leaving nasty comments on my videos. My favourite one in particular suggested I grew up to be gay/depraved because I was molested as a kid
- was seeing 2 people who I have literally never interacted with before in my life go out of their way to keep this shit going
- was absolutely getting affected by it, not gonna lie. because 1) the amount of shit the redditors were getting wrong and twisting was doing my head in and 2) we can chalk this up to a fair amount of dishing it out but maybe not so great at taking it and 3) the two people this involved, me and procrastitara were becoming the least invested in it and her video was going back up anyways
- was understanding that this whole youtube thing just really isn't for me (clearly)
- deleted the whole entire shit because this isn't what I want for a career anyhow and if this is how shit is going to go for simply defending myself, my time is better spent elsewhere. not worth.
So in conclusion:
- he had a meltdown when that chick used petty in her name - he can claim the word petty, I can't claim my own work
- he had a meltdown when shane dawson included shanny in his video, said there's no excuse if you make a documentary, do your homework - someone else does a documentary (using that term loosely) doesn't do their homework. I can't say shit or even react to it
- makes an unfair jab at me in his video (well, petty is his namesake) - I point out he's still obese. I'm the petty one.
- you're perfect you're beautiful you look like linda evangelista you're a model you're upset that a cartoon doesn't like you and called you fat
- Forgive me for not being all to thrilled and complimentary towards two people who went out of their way to make a situation worse (not blaming them - I did start the whole shit. but they went out of their way to keep it going...guess I can't blame petty for doing petty, right?)
- and for making fun of their appearance when they literally make their living off of pointing and laughing at an obese woman (yes we know, we know "it's because she's a horrible person!" sorry but you've ridden that excuse until the wheels fell off, and it wasn't too strong an argument to begin with when you make content EXCLUSIVELY about obese women)
- not to put too fine a point on it but procrastiTara is still using copyrighted music in her video, and has in others, which is not my business but clearly theres a pattern of "the rules dont apply to me"
- I don't think I REALLY have to point out that the kind of things they say and way they behave are not how they interact with their friends and people they like...so this idea that I now have some kind of dark side or am leaning into being a "villain" ehhh....I'm sure that makes a lovely twist on it, but it doesn't really fly if you really think about it. I'm cool with people who are cool with me. It's not any more complex than that. nice try though.
- I still would love to know how I'm "chasing internet fame" when 1. cartoon anon avatar 2. am cool with deleting that shit and walking away from it 3. made literally no effort to try to build my youtube channel
- would also love to know why everyone else in that group gets to be petty/vindictive/superficial/defend themselves, but me doing it is an unholy act of evil
- All I did was set a boundary: this is something I created and I was tired of seeing it used so heavily and receiving nothing for it. Not even a blurb in the description
- Find anything....a reddit post, a youtube video, anything at all that predates the cycle I posted Jan 8th 2019 which was based on another post I made Dec 7th 2018. Show me. Since they want to act as if that idea was already in the ALR zetigeist long before me. Can't? Why? Cause it was that which sparked the conversation and not the other way around. Those are just the facts. I'm not trying to have an ego about it. I'm saying I said the damn thing and I made the damn thing. If it needs to belong to everyone else so badly, cool, take it now. It's not like I was going to put it in my portfolio or something lol or plan on continuing a youtube related anything
HAVING SAID ALL THAT:
I do actually feel bad that I disappointed someone I thought was a friend. And seeing OnProgram agree with it sucked too because I think she's cool as shit. I know I haven't been cool throughout this situation, so I was like "damn" because it sucks when people you like think you suck. If ZachM and Willo chime in and call me an asshole too that would literally break my heart but hey, I'm also putting this vitriol out there.
What I absolutely wont apologize for is the copyright claim for the reasons I mentioned above. And if Dani and MBP want to go out of their way to make jabs about me, to keep the shit going longer than necessary, to make money making fun of someone else, then they can reasonably be expected to take a few jabs of their own. Right? Especially coming off the heels of this high drama bullshit where I don't particularly feel like being calm and diplomatic when literally none of them are nor would they return the favour if I tried.
that is all I have to say, and will say. I don't expect people to read the whole thing. I don't expect the haydurs to not cherrypick and twist shit once again. But that's my final word. I said my truth. Hopefully someone gets something out of it.
Oh dear. I think I need more coffee to process this heaping pile of bullshit (not you, but all these drama llamas). I'd say I'd give you a hug, but this is the Farms, so how about a swift kick in the crotch instead? Out of love, of course.
