Hey internet friends.
When you were a child, what was your favorite television show to watch?
Think back…think far back.
Did any of those programs consistently feature your favorite superheroes and characters engaging
in sexual, violent, anxiety-inducing or any form of overt degenerate behavior on the regular?
well, uh...hmmm...
While subliminal messages have undeniably been utilized in TV programming in the past,
with children's shows being no exception, what's occurring on YouTube right now is unlike
anything we've ever seen before—being that the themes are neither subliminal nor are
they subtle.
These videos are being produced and curated for children—reaching millions of children whose
parents handed them the mobile device or tablet and left the internet to teach them colors
or how to count, because the tablets keep them occupied on a long car ride, and they keep them well-behaved
in a nice restaurant. And heck, they keep them entertained so momma can have a few minutes of peace and quiet to herself!...because it's been a long day.
And I'm not judging you. All jokes aside, if you're a parent, you might want to pay attention to this video.
Because predators are successful when their prey is either unaware or in denial, and while it
might be upsetting to view some of this content being targeted at your children, it's absolutely
essential that you do.
An opportunity has been presented with the rise of parents allowing things like television
and the internet to babysit their children, a blindspot if you will, for predators flourish.
Imagine that your three or four-year-old child was watching some kind of educational youtube
video on the YouTube Kids app, and after watching the approved video that
you queued up for them, this video auto-plays next, unbeknownst to you.
But you're a good parent, and you look over for a quick peek at what your child is watching and you see Mickey on the screen, and Mickey
can't be bad, right?
Mickey is a trademarked character after all, surely Disney would be pulling down these
videos of their characters being represented in such a negative light and acting out the most vile situations while the content maker
is earning thousands a day off of YouTube advertising revenue.
Disney should be calling for these videos to be taken down…so why aren't they?
What's even more curious is the use of repeated themes and characters that seem to transcend
a vast array of languages and cultures.
Characters like Elsa, Spiderman and the Joker are used within the videos, thumbnails, keywords,
and titles…and appear either as adults in costume or in animated form, acting out situations
like: Kidnapping and bondage, Violence, gore, and injections, Belly inflation, pregnancy,
and abortion, Simulated sexual acts, alcoholism, An emphasis on urination, sc_t, and dismemberment,
as well as violent acts like shoot-outs and even murder
Like I said before, often times there are actors featured in the videos, and sometimes
those actors are children, being made to cry on camera or participate for the purpose of
the YouTube channel generating revenue.
Because…let's not get it twisted, with these videos receiving millions to hundreds of millions
of views per upload, that's some major money being made by both the content creator and
the YouTube platform.And since their videos are highly viewed and engaged with, those
videos are the ones suggested after your child finishes up with their pre-approved video
of ELMO or Dora or Peppa the pig or whatever.
It has been speculated that quite a few of these channels utilize a bot-net or a click
farm service to get initial views so they can show up on the sidebar of more popular
videos or even as a suggested video, but certainly a good portion of those views are authentic.
In the last few weeks this topic has been abuzz, people are pretty split on the motive of some of these channels in uploading children's
content with inappropriate themes.
The first theory, and notice I said "theory" not "fact", is that these content farms, or channels with multiple syndicate channels
uploading the exact same content on each channel, are just using Youtube as a cash cow.
They've seen what earns money, and others have copied the format.
In a video uploaded by comedy YouTubers H3H3 last year, they pointed out that one of the
most popular superhero channels with questionable content is actually produced by two pranksters,
Ethan and Moe Bradberry.
But if folks are just making a quick buck off of YouTube, then why do the disturbing
reoccurring themes persist? That question leads us to the second popular theory, being that it
is no accident or coincidence that we have videos targeted at various age groups, under
two years old, all the way up to middle-school aged, featuring cartoon characters performing
disturbing or vile acts, ultimately desensitizing children to an array of age-inappropriate
behavior like being kidnapped, binge drinking, shooting people, performing abortions, and
even committing suicide.
A lot of these videos display anxiety-inducing and traumatic events for young minds, leading
some to believe that the goal is learned helplessness, or "a condition in which a person suffers
from a sense of powerlessness, arising from a traumatic event or persistent failure to
succeed.
It is thought to be one of the underlying causes of depression."
And learned helplessness leads to behaviors like giving up without even trying and perhaps ultimately a nihilistic outlook on life.
In this theory, All roads lead to MK Ultra with a facelift, designed specifically for
the touch-screen generation. We put all these things together, then spread on another layer of theory, and we move to our third theory,
which is that the content is both generated for children and for perverse adults.
We have children being groomed in the videos and by the videos, as well as the groomers
partaking in the viewership.
With people who subscribe to this theory pointing at a series of codes being associated with
the video content and correlating to the comment section.
In one of the livestreams I caught while editing this video, the children's youtube channel
who was live streaming listed their twitter page, and their twitter page was tweeting
out links to p0rn websites.
That's weird, right? Am I the only one who finds that weird? But what about the fourth and final theory, which is a reallygraceful-original
theory as far as I can tell.
As people are cancelling cable and ditching their TVs in droves, the traditional cable
networks are on YouTube, waiting to capture the audience in more ways than one.
This speaks to every demographic beyond children, but what if channels like the ones featured
in this video were put in place to showcase how dangerous unregulated entertainment could
be?
We have unregulated cartoons and children's shows being circulated on YouTube, and they're
featuring sc_t fetishes, murder and child abuse.
Do you see where I'm going with this?
Perhaps that's why DISNEY, who has probably taken a significant financial hit with people
canceling their cable, perhaps that's why they haven't taken down these videos or claimed them for copyright.
That is pure speculation, absolutely not rooted in fact.
Let me know your thoughts.
As always, I look forward to your comments, and before I close out this video, I just
want you to know that while all of this information is disturbing, and the videos are disgusting,
it's an easy fix if you're a parent.
Just screen what your child is watching.
Create playlists of pre-approved videos.
Don't be naive and don't let your child roam the internet unsupervised.
If you're looking for more information on this topic, I've listed some videos in the
description which I found informative. Let me know if you have any other solutions.
Thank you for watching and supporting my channel on patreon!
And I hope you all have a wonderful day. Bye!
