hey everyone relativly long time restorer here, i wanted to talk about a particular subject because honestly its got me a little enraged and i didnt want to just sit around never doing anything about said rage.

Its about my experience with youtube comments that ive posted regarding circumcision being silenced and deleted from the platform my particular example was from a song called "scarstruck" by the band Slayer.

Some time ago i had posted a comment on a video of the song that went something along the lines of "i miss the days of ignorant bliss before i knew the meaning of this song" well eventually, somebody responded, asking me to elaborate on the songs meaning.

now i think with lyrics like

"Branded and scarred defy, defy
A comatose and blind existence"

and

"Desires of the scars of new flesh
Bathe in your blood excites/incites
The ritualistic laceration
Inhumanities profane, insane
Inflicted since the dawn of time"

its not that far of a reach to guess what theyre getting at. so i go into modest detail with the guy who i dont recall was from a cutting country, about the whole thing he responded quite unknowingly but acceptingly of the fact that what i was saying was legit.

well fast forward maybe a year? maybe more? i go back to that song just to kinda read that little discussion i had with the guy and... *poof* any comment that me and him exchanged in that string of comments involving direct reference to circumcision got *magically* deleted, so the string of discussion thats left, makes no sense and reveals nothing about the implacations of what i originally intended.

Now i know this is nothing truly new, censorship and misinformation throughout different popular websites and all, but it just kinda pissed me off ya know? like thats how much those who want to keep the reality of circumcision, better said as genital mutilation a secret that they even delete comments on videos that dont even have very large amounts of views.

Has anyone else experienced something silmilar to this? have your comments and interactions with others about the topic *mysteriously* gone missing?

i figured talking with you all was better than just letting that stay burning in my mind thanks for giving me a place to rant about the injustice of our society/s!
