That’s an allegation by Paul Dini in this transcript by IO9 from an interview on Kevin Smith’s podcast. We’re getting close to Christmas and I have specials to work on or I’d do a whole rant about how stupid this is, but Dini and Smith do a good job of it themselves. Specifically mentioned are the DC hero shows and Tower Prep, which Dini alleges was canceled because the writers gave the girl characters better parts. What the hell, Cartoon Network?

At it again, guys?
YouTube has had trouble with people putting up full movies and episodes they don’t have the rights to. I understand that, and I understand why the actual rights owners have a problem with this. However, their overzealous response has caused YouTube no share of problems from legit posters who use a song as part of a tribute or reviewers who post clips of the shows they review. With Blip changing their policies that’s been tougher on reviewers.
Now it’s the gaming community being hurt by YouTube’s new “Content ID” system. It’s not just clips affecting reviewers. It’s the Let’s Plays and walkthroughs being flagged…but the game publishers have nothing to do with it! There also seems to be those out there who have no sympathy for the game reviewers, Let’s Players (which I’m working to join the ranks of [points to sidebar]) and walkthrough creators.
I’ve defended YouTube in the past for the steps they’re forced to take and haven’t challenged many of the blocks to my monetizing videos they have a problem with. You won’t be seeing that in this article. YouTube has made a big mistake and this time people are being hurt by it.
That’s got to be an uncomfortable position to sleep in.

It’s nice to know I’m not the only one setting up Christmas music playlists on YouTube. (Actually, that was never in question. I’m making an opening here.) Check out Bill Housley’s “Christmas Music Playlists“. Now I need to check on how to embed a playlist on a WordPress.com-hosted site. He posted a link to one of my postings so I thought I’d return the favor.

Not the reaction you expect from some guy coming into your room in the middle of the night wanting to take you away.
If you can’t tell because I forgot to put the caption box in there, this takes place in the past. This is young Leon at the orphanage.
At the bottom of this page, over the jump for those of you on the homepage, I’ll be showing off my new YouTube trailer. It’s not much but it shows off my new logo stinger for the end of videos. Hope you like it anyway.
I like how we have a “humanity is evil so I’m destroying it” story where someone defends humanity’s right to exist rather than just stopping the bad guys. Want to see this as a requisite. Hear me, Japan?
To be fair, this was the only comic that wasn’t so good or so bad that I couldn’t pick a moment. It was good, but this had a stand-out scene. So, who wants to see my trailer?
