Content should be articles, video essays, podcasts about topics relevant to the forum. No memes, single images or tweets/toots/... please!
Community rules:
Be respectful and civil with each other. Don't be a jerk. There is a real human being on the other side of your screen. See also the Blahaj.Zone Community Rules
No bigotry of any kind allowed. Making racist, sexist, trans-/homo-/queerphobic, otherwise demeaning and hateful comments is not ok. Disabilities and mental illnesses are not to be used as insults and should not be part of your comment unless speaking of your own or absolutely relevant.
No gatekeeping and being rude to people who don't agree with you. Leave “gamer” stereotypes out of your comment (e.g. sexless, neck bearded, teenaged, basement-dwelling, etc). Don't compare people to animals, or otherwise deny their humanity. Even if you think someone is the worst human on the planet, do not wish death or harm upon them.
No "justice porn". Posts regarding legal action and similar is allowed, but celebrating someone being harmed is not.
Contrarianism for its own sake is unnecessary and not welcome.
No planning operations, no brigading, no doxxing or similar activities allowed.
Absolutely no defense of GamerGate and other right-wing harassment campaigns, no TERFs and transphobia, racism, dismissing of war crimes and praise of fascists. This includes “JAQing off”, intentionally asking leading questions while pretending to be a neutral party. This also applies to other forms of authoritarianism and authoritarian or criminal actions by liberal or leftist governments.
NSFW threads, such as ones discussing erotic art, pornography and sex work, must be tagged as such.
Moderators can take action even if none of the rules above are broken.

Your submission in "Multiple Major ASMR Accounts Suddenly Removed From YouTube Over ‘Explicit Content’" was removed for The myth that poor, innocent men are the victims of vile women has always been a justification to discriminate against women and ban them from public life. With the current purge of erotic and queer content from all kinds of platforms such rhetoric will not be tolerate on Ghazi. .
Seems like the content industry in general is evolving towards cashing in on thirst, even if it's not ASMR. The most banal tutorial about any craft or activity suddenly has some not-so-accidental innuendo, or the creator chooses the most not-so-innocently-revealing attire, or acts weird-but-it's-all-in-your-mind towards the tools or materials...
Nothing against whatever someone wants to put out there, but if you are after the tutorial and the algorithm feeds you the plausibly deniable softcore it's a bit exhausting.
Ah you've seen Hands On Katie. My wife's first reaction was "Why is her channel logo a boob?" and ten seconds later: "Right"
Hadn't seen that one specifically, but yeah, looks like a good example to me.
She has also embraced the slop, so no great loss that I can't watch it.
