The topless explanation.

The topless explanation.

Sorry for my bad handwriting. In case the words went too fast/were unintelligible: Hi, my name is Cleo, also known as "kailys3." In 2006, when Youtube was still in its infancy, I made my account. At first, it was just to subscribe to channels I liked and to comment, but then I jumped on the "vlog" bandwagon. My videos ranged from silly and stupid to srs bsness like abortion and gun control, and either way it was a no-holds-barred introspection to the "fascinating" life of Cleo. Then "it" happened. Throughout Youtube, various vloggers, famous and common alike, started to make "topless vlogs"--video blogs where the vlogger wore no clothing, but carried out their vlog normally, to protest the pornographic nature that was beginning to take over Youtube. Youtube was still "by the users, for the users" at that point. We didn't want to see it become _yet_ _another_ _porn site_. As you may have guessed, I also did a topless vlog. Holding my arms in front of the good parts, I did a v! log, to show that not all nudity = porn, and that porn didn't belong on Youtube. However, I was still new to video editing, and accidents happen. Somehow, the last few seconds of the video were left in, where I dropped my arms and clicked "stop." For maybe a whopping 4 seconds, MY NIPPLES SHOWED. (oh my god!) Now, in a sensible European country, that would have been no big deal. But this is 'MERCA, where nudity always = porn, and even though I quickly took the video down after realizing what happened ...
