Okay uh so just to clarify a bit here: This isn’t an immediate thing, meaning that YouTube isn’t going to take away everything FS by the end of the week (IF the recent copyrighting of FS vids is connected to this. Alternatively if this is due to some big company who is flagging content left and right behind the scenes then there’s no telling when it’d all go away). In fact they’re more likely to focus on content from YouTubers than videos about niche topics (like FS), unless it’s from Japan because they are notorious for flagging copyrighted content. HOWEVER on YouTube recently there’s been this massive problem of incorrect take downs where smaller YouTubers who post original content are getting their videos taken away because a big YouTuber pushed them to do so to save their ego from criticism. What does this have to do with FS? Well, it just simply means YouTube is a company like any other and will move to save its ass and it’s money. So should any of the tv people like NBC start hunting down them FS vids it’s all over. Plus I’m pretty sure just about anyone can flag a video of copyright at anytime so they’re not the only ones we should be worried about though I’m not sure how it really goes bc I’ve never done it before. So really this has all just been a looming problem forever on YouTube that had yet to bleed into the FS community until recently. My advice, if you have favorite videos then save them. Even without the Article 13 stuff your fav videos and channels can be taken away instantly and be gone forever. That’s just how YouTube is. OKAY sorry again for the OT, I swear this will be my last post on it.

Well, it may be because of the whole EU Article 13 thing. YouTube is probably afraid of getting any legal action and are therefore starting to really crack down on copyrighted material (even if it's not from Europe). Meaning most FS vids that are copyrighted material (like commentaries) may be gone by the end of 2019 For anyone interested here's a quick rundown video but, if you have the time, I highly suggest looking it up for yourself: This is OT and not about Yuzu but I feel like this is important for any active internet user to know.

Hey, I just remembered, correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't CBC Olympics the same account that posted about that fanyu crying over Yuzu's loss to Nathan at CoR last year? Wasn't that a whole problem too? Though I don't remember what specifically it was about. I mean I have no problems with CBC nor it's commentators (love ya Kurt) but I'm not liking whoever runs that CBC Olympics account.

Wow!

Oh okay, now I get what you meant about the censorship. However if there really was a problem with censorship I'd think it'd be with the JSF, not the media in general. From what it sounds like they dictate a lot of what Yuzu gets to do and say, and sometimes those decisions may not always be made with his best in mind.

Didn't we get into a whole mess about the "wanting to die" comment from CiONTU and decided that because it leads to speculation we'd drop it (more so in the CiONTU thread than here I believe)? There certainly was an outpouring of love and support from both Japanese and non-Japanese fans on Twitter (don't really think he cares that much about what people say on this forum). And I don't think he likes people mimicking him, especially in a funny manner since Nobu has mentioned he got mad at him for imitating his PW finish pose. AND I feel like laughing at your own mistakes to get better from them vs someone making fame and fortune off of you for badly imitating you for comedy are two very different things. Also, you lost me at the censorship part.

Re: Poll Wow based on the comments I guess I'm in the minority. I actually hate when American media (besides Jack, WP and Olympic channel) uses Yuzu for anything. They don't care for nor respect him and only use his image to promote themselves or their agenda then go right back to slamming him whenever Nathan does even remotely well. So I'm happy he wasn't included in the poll. Even when they're promoting him they do a pretty horrible job. Anyone remember this atrocity? And whenever there's an article written about him it 90% of the time includes some unrelated section pandering to Nathan. So personally I think IN did a good job with this poll (also we don't need no under 5,000 voters poll to prove Yuzu's superiority). They even included Javi (yaaay!), shame about Boyang tho (obviously no Adam nor Vincent b/c they'd split the American voters). Anyways who cares about some poll guys? We have bigger problems at hand, Yuzu's 2017 World's LP vid has been stuck on 2.9 million for ages now! Anyone who has the time, watch the video, lets finally get it to 3 million!

He is the perfect manga protagonist.

I still don't understand why Yuzuru particularly is getting attention (both good and a lot of bad) from kpop fans. Can one of you kpop fans tell me? He's a Japanese winter athlete, how come korean idol fans even know of him? Is it because of Yuna?

Beautiful.

Oh god, I just realized he doesn't have his mask on. Even Shoma had his mask on. Oh dear god please put a mask on Yuzu.

What you can't do: Stop the hate, it's a forever existing, unstoppable entity. What you can do: 1) Understand that the hate towards people like Yuzu are out of pure jealousy and not out of logical thinking. People hate him because there are people who love him. You have to move on from the hate. 2) Accept that haters exist (across the globe) because the more popular you are the more people get jealous and the more hated you become (compared to other skaters he probs has the most love and hate...Well next to Evgenia who sometimes seems to get more unfair hate than deserved love b/c she's essentially forever going against recent and popular legends Yuna and Mao ). It's inevitable no matter who you are and what you do. 3) Learn from their mistakes. Just because they do it to Yuzu doesn't make it okay for us to do the same to Yuna or any other skater. These people are hard-working athletes, every one of them. They deserve, at the very least, our respect. If you don't agree with scores then hate the judges, not the people who have no control over the scores. 4) Help the figure skating community. There are certainly fans like this amongst Yuzu fans as well so if you spot one unfairly bashing on someone, kindly guide them in the right direction since the only people that they'll bother listening to are probably fellow fans. Spread the love , not the hate. Also lol this is exactly how I started commenting on here. Stumbled across a Korean Yuzu hate site, freaked out about how it'll affect him at the Olympics, posted then calmed down thanks to the people here. Will forever love this site and it's creators/maintainers for existing. This entire site and its people are like a chill pill for my anxiety.

I know he was out for most of this season but it was due to an injury and he's still the reigning Olympic and World Champion with 2 new WR's in 2017. Why couldn't they have just added in another row with Yuzu AND even more winter athletes? Oh well, guess I'll just have to take matters into my own hands. Ahhhh, there we go...Came out a little creepier than intended, oops. Oh and Happy New Year (not yet for me but who cares)! Hope everyone's new year goes as smoothly as Yuzu's Hydroblades.

Aaaaaaannd now I'm sad. Half of me was already kind of expecting this sort of news considering we heard nothing and got zero footage of him despite the ten days passing, but the more hopeful half of me was thinking maybe he was just too focused on training to report. Nationals seem like a problem now. He shouldn't push himself but we all know that missing out on both the GPF and Nationals won't be good, especially before the Olympics. Both for physical and mental reasons. Guess all we can do at this point though is pray for him.

There'll definitely be problems if he doesn't get picked. Especially cause they seem to be favoring another skater over him. I mean, did they seriously reserve tons of seats for one skater's sponsor for the GPF AND rent out an event rink for him a week prior? Isn't that blatant favoritism? (Unless I'm wrong, if so please correct me) Edit: IDK how many seats so I'll just say a lot
