I'll do this. However, not many people will notice it. Still, every project counts!

Don't forget NDAA. That's also a horrible law. Unfortunately, it's already passed.


How is it bad? it gives the government permission to give US citizens indefinite detention for any reason at all. Heck, me writing this gives me potential to be sent to Camp X-ray.

What?! So if a government guy saw me playing as Medic shooting Soldiers in TF2 with needles I could be tossed in pretty much a cage for the rest of my life?! D:

I daresay that the Soldier would be disappointed >.>

I signed.

It's obvious I'm doing it.  tongue

I'm planning to put fake "Plushie Pal" title since a lot of people seem to like my plush animations a lot. A mock title on the project makes it look like it's actually being censored for copyrighted content.... maybe I should put fake notes as well.

Indeed. The project thing was my idea of a protest before someone proposed to shut the website down.

But we can still do it afterwards if the website is shut down, it makes the protest last longer.  big_smile

Comments: Stop the censoring!

I signed, despite the fact that it doesn't concern us Canadians as much. It still is bad for us. Very bad.

And the TF2 thread would be destroyed.

Wouldn't it be more practical to get the Scratch Team to just replace the images themselves?  smile
