Well, can’t we say that about literally any other sexuality? Why is there a word for anything? I would argue that this sexuality is more relevant and restrictive (i.e. someone who has a preference for red hair probably isn’t literally exclusively attracted to those people and no one else) and comes up more, but in general it helps to be able to express and identify your orientation to other people and to talk about it. I mean, most of these macrolabels that people use might not serve that much of a purpose, even if they do describe more specifically what someone’s sexuality is and make them feel validated or help them to understand their own nature, in addition to making it easier to clarifying to others or justifying (though it shouldn’t require justifying) their sexual choices in alignment with their attraction which may not be able to change.

I’m down with grinding and killing bad guys on loop actually. I wish “Free Guy” was a game because that looked fun to play.

This looks good… I would play Halo but I only have PS5…

You get me.

I’m into 3D games more than 2D tbh but thanks for the suggestions

Tried Returnal but the difficulty was impossible…

It was a toss up between this or The Last of Us which is also story driven

Like what? Most games seem to be largely story based these days.

Why do you choose to assume the worst and not believe people? I didn’t say 50% of my comments are problematic and worth deleting. I said 50% GET deleted unfairly. You are putting supreme faith in the YouTube moderation system and assuming that it doesn’t make mistakes when it clearly does. Unlike other people’s comments which deserve to be removed but aren’t, nothing I’m saying is problematic at all.

I did not say 50% of my comments are questionable. I said about that many get removed for no reason despite being harmless. It’s you who is making negative assumptions about a human being and choosing to put all your faith in technology and AI to work correctly when it clearly doesn’t. And no, again, it’s not channels. Channel owners have confirmed to me they’re not deleting my comments and they don’t know why they get removed.

And again you’re assuming I’m posting “conspiracy shit” and leaving no room for the possibility that YouTube’s comment deletion system is completely broken in some cases. There’s no reason to remove the completely normal harmless comments I’m posting. Having this much faith in technology and AI to do its job properly is really concerning more than anything tbh.

It’s not channel specific at all. I know creators personally who have said they’re not doing anything to my comments and they have no idea why my comments get removed.

So you really were just assuming the worst of me and not believing my situation even though it’s actually true… they are just random comments getting deleted, literally. Not evil or spammy.

I understand you’re saying the bots/algorithm might still delete it or flag me for it, but it would still be helpful to try it anyway since that’s already happening for me so it can’t really make it any worse than it already is. If you happen to know some of these “homoglyph” alternatives, that may be really helpful.

But in this case I wouldn’t be spamming if I was just posting innocuous comments that happened to be formed with homoglyphs, right?

Interesting, so you’re saying if I use alternate homoglyphs as you describe them, the system will detect those and flag my account or something? Seems unfair of the algorithm to do that considering I’m already unable to make normal comments in a lot of cases, but of course the whole problem is the algorithm not working properly.

But I’m just wondering if it’s possible it wouldn’t detect those alternate characters and I could comment normally (using homoglyphs), since I’m already unable to, it might be worth a try. I guess the definition of spam can vary, but it’s not like I would be posting a lot of comments, just a regular amount, or even a low amount.

I don’t know what alternate text format works because the ones I’ve tried haven’t.

So for example, one that visually looks like the Latin/English alphabet, but which wouldn’t be detected as English characters because it’s in a different enough format.
