Is this in relation to me, or did you have a go? I took a Twitter break and haven't caught up.

Not every Youtuber is an asshole with a couple of million subscribers. It sucks that the actions of someone like Pewdiepie will have more of an effect on smaller YouTubers than it will on himself.
As I tried to explain to Walker, this is a valid point but also a much smaller issue when we're taking about a man with more subscribers than most countries in the EU openly using racial slurs.
Maybe smaller isn't the right word. Priorities need to be established and for me, in this context, IP law pales in comparison to the mainstreaming of racism.
Campo Santo are making use of a bad thing to do a good thing. I think it's justified.
