Optie Animation's Mope Mope video falsely set to "Made for Kids" by YouTube

What the hell? One of Optie's mature music videos was falsely set to "Made for Kids" because of the visual appeal of the first half? Man, talk about the greedy game of discipline and strictness where the videos are mis-set depending on the content which can be a disaster on the machine learning part. The videos of the family-friendly games are nothing to worry about even if they are set to "Made for Kids" by YouTube but in the case of the videos of the non-family-friendly games like the ones made for teenagers or even the mature ones which are for adults, that may be a different story.
The song, Mope Mope, had made the official appearance in the actual rhythm games on consoles, arcades and even mobile and their music video doesn't seem to be used whatsoever. However, in case of the music video on Optie Animation's official YouTube channel, that is what the kids should NOT view as it contains the scary portions at the second half. Other songs have more mature settings such as Marenol by LeaF, the same composer who composed Mope Mope. For that song, its music video is extremely inappropriate for children but it's not like YouTube will do something about that music video either.
As the music video of Mope Mope was falsely set to "Made for Kids" by YouTube, Optie had the plans to review the decision set by them and even LeaF was aware of the situation that happened a few days ago. Where's the research? HAD THOSE AT YOUTUBE EVEN VIEWED THE ENTIRE MUSIC VIDEO? OR DID THEY NOT READ OR REGARD THE VIDEO DESCRIPTION? To let children watch that music video is like giving them nightmares thanks to false disciplinary actions done on that target audience setting!
iMJaystation has been making video contents that are not inappropriate for children even though his target audience is children all along and he had been called out for challenging the updated YouTube COPPA policies but for Optie Animation's official YouTube channel, the target audience is like to be those who play rhythm games and especially the nerds if you will.

Skullgirls 2nd Encore Steam version - Controversial addition of S****Fox

Skullgirls is one great fighting game including its 2nd Encore edition upgrade and many versions of it were released in the past years but the recent addition of S****Fox as the background character in Skullgirls has angered the fans of the game and the genre, resulting in review-bombing the Steam version as well as the forum thread that would include the lawsuit or some sort. For that person, they're more or less an E-Sports player with an unusual persona route like he represents himself as a blue-and-white anthropomorphic fox. They're part of the fandom that has things about the animal characters with human personalities and characteristics. Such kinds of fictional characters already existed in the past as well as human-like characters based on the fictional monsters like those from the Pokemon franchise for instance. As an E-sports player involved in EVO events, they even overpowered other players in some tournaments. I guess that their character is one reason people frown upon or something and their addition in Skullgirls as the background character had caused some anger.
About the lawsuit someone came up with as stated in the forum thread, they even wanted Sega to be involved in suing Lab Zero Games over that character added in the game. I don't know if that is a reference to the S***c franchise which I don't give a native and faithful shit about but at least, S****Fox is a better character than that retarded and eccentric S***Chu comic franchise whose comic books and merchandises were like sold illegally without any official approval from both Sega and Nintendo. In fact, you can even come up with your own nickname/artist name that has the word S***c in it except that it has NOTHING TO DO with that S***c franchise. I've already seen some artists/DJs having that word in their professional alias. I even played some games that have that word in their game name.

Account update 

Last year, I even came up with the prototype DJ logo to represent myself professionally and of course, I can't use my current nickname as the DJ alias even though it is a reference to the name of the spaceship from Taito's Darius series so I came up with the alias based on my real name instead just like how DJs did. However, the profile header is still incomplete until I can use the proper photo of myself at the DJ event venue. I had one like that on my Facebook account but I'm still looking for a different photo even today. Furthermore, I even removed gameplay videos of S***c games I played from my YouTube channel due to the revised COPPA YouTube policies which was COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY in the first place as those games are family-friendly to begin with. I shouldn't have taken such actions out of panic to my YouTube channel like that. One thing to take note is that not all games I made videos of on my channel are family-friendly. Certain games may seem inappropriate for children.

Conclusion

So, in this case, you can go in the modders' favor in which you can remove S****Fox from Skullgirls if you don't like that addition so you can play the game just like it was before the controversial additions occurred. You're in the right to be angry over this addition but a removal mod seems to be a better way than review-bombing the game itself.

iMJaystation's apologies are for naught?

I thought that we eventually moved on after actions were already taken against iMJaystation like channel demonetization and he apologized and took down various videos of his controversial stunts but it turned that he's still active on another YouTube channel which is Dream Team channel that is handled by him and his girlfriend. So, was this consequence evasion in which he would do the same controversial shit on that channel that the apology was all for naught? What in the world was he thinking? Couldn't YouTube do something to him for circumventing the consequences he was given after he was called out a few months ago? It's basically a challenge to this year's rules and consequences out of his bad attitude towards them.
OK, he may not be the only scum I had seen out there who tried to evade cyber-consequences like his main channel demonetized for instance. I had seen the others who tried to evade account blocks and terminations on social media in which they continued to talk useless shit to the ones who tried to call them out via sock-puppet accounts. Some of the sock-puppet accounts are like presenting them differently as if they pretend that they are someone else but the Dream Team channel is like a different example on how iMJaystation evaded the consequences thrown at him.
The actions taken against him by YouTube sort of delayed his plans to cause a big disaster towards many content creators by coming up with the bullshit that enabled him to challenge the revised YouTube COPPA policies. His target audience is likely to be children but his contents are obviously not appropriate for them and that problem he caused had already come back.
It's like he got scolded but he still continued doing such bullshit as if the major scolding wasn't anything for him. Also, due to the on-going pandemic, there have been lesser staffs working on the YouTube service than before and according to some official concerning warning, there may be technical mistakes on the machine learning stuff in which your videos may be falsely affected.

Zoom app review-bombing incident?

Apparently, there was a similar case of review-bombing for Zoom app probably due to the on-going pandemic that people have to be staying home at most of the time. Like the Dingtalk review-bombing incident, this is pretty much the same case although there were more controversies surrounding Zoom app/service due to privacy violation and lack of cyber-security that resulted in various online sessions such as meetings, classes, and other types of professional sessions compromised.
I don't know what sort of behavior people had in review-bombing things like that but in case of Zoom, it is actually reasonable due to genuine concerns. You can criticize a product/service in a professional manner but if you review-bomb it in such a childish and immature way, you don't want that. There's a rumor that the apps with an overall low review score will be booted off the app store and that act of review-bombing is like an act of like cyber-truancy or something unless your review is genuine.
According to 9to5 Google article about this, it seemed that Google had already taken actions against the negative reviews that were non-actual problems and Apple already froze the review section for the Zoom app. It's more or less an old news when I write a blog post about this as that article about this incident was posted two months ago. It's also a remaining news piece that should complete the previous blog article I wrote about the Zoom privacy and cyber-security controversy.
I don't know if the cyber-security is truly improved or not when it comes to Zoom app as of the present time.
