Rule 34 & Other Stuff in December
🕑 Added 2023-12-09 00:44:50 +0000 UTCHey everyone. I put out 3 whole videos last month! That was a lot of work, and I am beat. But I'm so happy with the reception, especially on the tsundere video. I am gonna pull back with the uploads, so don't expect that level of consistency, but I'm working on a couple things for December.
Rule 34
So the first video I'm putting out is about Rule 34. There's been a pretty popular discussion online about how games like Bioshock Infinite and Overwatch "revolutionized 3D animation" due to the rule 34 made from them. See viral tweet here:
And that sparked an idea in my head to research the history of rule 34 and how it affected video games and movies and vice versa. I'm not sure there's much I'll be able to prove with this specific tweet, because it firmly falls into "my source is that I made it the fuck up" territory. But it seems intuitively true, so I wanna talk about it.
Also, nobody's really made a history of rule 34 video before. Probably for good reason.
Other Stuff
Due to the holidays, and me taking a bit of a break after last month's barn burner, the rule 34 vid is the only major project I have planned on the main channel, and I'm gonna take my time with it. However, there will be another "Everything I Saw" on the second channel, talking about all the shows and movies I didn't talk about in a normal video. I'm also thinking of doing a "Best Videos of the Year" as a separate video this time, so I can highlight some great YouTubers I saw in 2023. All of that will be on Alex Torias though, so make sure you're subscribed.
Just a quick update on all the weirdness going on between Patreon and the website: Basically, I'm going to keep my Vimeo subscription for videos, since I tried a bunch of other web hosts and none of them were as good and cheap. Having talked to Fourthwall, they actually don't allow explicit content in their TOS, which means I don't have any reason to host on them anymore.
So I've actually shut down memberships on the website, and am contacting the support there to cancel that. I'll be keeping everything to Patreon for now. It really sucks there's no great membership option that has good video hosting AND decent adult content guidelines, but oh well.
Anyways, that's about it for this update. Just letting you know what's coming out this month. Hope you're doing well. I'll see you next time.

subscribed just to say i'm also disgruntled, just coming to proprietary monopolies in a captive audience way. so quick infodump: there's many unheard of cooperatives and F(ree)L(ibre)O(pen)S(ource) crowdfunding sites which have an ethical privacy policy that don't take any % of what's paid|donated. even compiled and reviewed and cross-referenced in one place. https://wiki.snowdrift.coop/market-research/other-crowdfunding

I look forward to your future stuff!

Time to lean into it and just post the Patreon videos on the hub

I'll keep you in my prayers as you delve deeper and deeper into the rule 34 rabbit hole and stray further and further from God's light.

Oooo, this is going to be an interesting one. I don't think I've ever someone attempt to delve into the history of rule 34. That's definitely going to be a deep rabbit hole. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Rule 34 has a hell of a history, some of the original tijuana bibles from the '20s and '30s are rare historical artifacts now and I bet it goes even further back than that. People have always loved smut, just a fact of life

I’ve unironically thought about using OnlyFans, if only because they’re pro adult content. But then I wouldn’t be able to link to that because most places shadowban OF links

If it gets taken down from all the places you can always upload it to a porn site :)

May the video hosting gods smile upon you and you shall deliver an excellent members-only version.
