Markiplier stands up for Cr1TiKaL amid \u2018unfair\u2019 YouTube controversy YouTube: Markiplier \/ YouTube: penguinz0YouTube recently handed out a punishment that has been deemed unjust by the community with marquee names like Mark \u2018Markiplier\u2019 Fischbach coming out in support of fellow creator Charlie \u2018Cr1TiKaL\u2019 White. A recent upload from Cr1TiKaL on his popular YouTube account \u2018penguinz0\u2019 was hit with a strike from the video platform. Within a week the video was outright removed, leading to the start of an appeal process. Throughout his upload, Cr1TiKaL was \u201cmaking jokes\u201d over a \u201cfake, staged video.\u201d The clip in question featured individuals in costume as popular cartoon characters. They then got into a fake scuffle before running off-camera. Despite the clip seeming mostly harmless, \u201cYouTube removed it for violent and graphic content.\u201d This particular video has been re-uploaded dozens of times without issue, according to Cr1TiKaL. Yet his commentary was taken down without warning. \u201cFor some reason, they have decided to target mine,\u201d he said, leading to a wave of support from fellow content creators. \u201cThey believed my video was genuinely disgusting, shocking, and overwhelmingly disturbing to the point that it needed to be removed from the platform,\u201d he explained in a September 1 upload. While he tried to appeal the decision, it was quickly overruled as the strike was locked in place. \u201cConfirming that a member of the team reviewed the video and the decision stands,\u201d the official Team YouTube Twitter account replied. \u201cThat just confirmed no one watched the video,\u201dCr1TiKaL soon added. \u201cEveryone I\u2019ve talked to at YouTube doesn\u2019t agree with this decision either.\u201d As his community came out to show support and slam the strike to his channel, so too did fellow YouTube star Markiplier. He made a similar video \u201claughing\u201d about the same fake fight. Cr1TiKaL questioned, \u201cWhen will he be getting his strike?\u201d \u201cFair is fair, Team YouTube, where\u2019s my strike?\u201d Markiplier said. Showing support for his fellow creator, he added the hashtag #AnswerUsYouTube to his tweet too. Fair is fair @TeamYouTube where\u2019s my strike? #AnswerUsYouTube https:\/\/t.co\/PL4tq9PNx4 \u2014 Mark (@markiplier) September 2, 2020 \u201cI hope YouTube will do the right thing and recognize the strike was a mistake and get rid of it,\u201d he said. Update, September 2, 11:17AM EST: Markiplier has now revealed that he too was given a warning on his channel against the video, indicating that the strike against Moist Critikal was not, in fact, a mistake. Because it is his first community guidelines warning, he does not receive a strike on his channel. So, Markiplier and Critikal now have the answer they demanded, but not the one they wanted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
