Hey Lindsay, what happened to your Twitter? Did you remove it by choice or did this somehow lead to you being removed? I'm angry for you.
But has the witch been returned?
Honey you've got a big storm comin'
Do we get a part 3 when they complain about this one?
Hahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhaahahahahhaahhaahahahahhahaha (Laughter drives the algorithm)
Hi.
Fan Fiction Deep State is my new band name
I absolutely CACKLE at the way the narrator says “Ms. Cain” at 39:15 when reading the letter Shania Watson responded to EFF with 🤣🤣
Today I learned there is an organization called the "Romance Writers of America" (expected) and they have an ethics board. (not expected.)
Ah jeez
I dunno how I ever missed any of this, but this is deliciously ridiculous and wonderful.
"Even though I didn't actually criticise her dumb book." Oof.
I wanna know how Addison Cain and her lawyer reacted to this video.
Whats with the Barbara Streisand?
Rewatching this video and the sentence "We're all bored and losing our minds, and canceling is fun now" made me audibly OOF.
dude thats jenny nicholson doing the voiceover lol
Aw man, I finally watched this video and now I want the 'With Prejudice' hat but it's sold out
Twitter wokescolds: *Lindsay Ellis is a menace!*
IM ENGAGING
Engagement engagement engagement
Man, I have watched the Ellis/Cain saga so many times in the last year. This is my shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! *explodes*
kayla roberts i wouldnt have googled her name if she didnt bring it up so many times in all her complaints making me feel like an idiot for not knowing apparently such common knowledge
I have been reading and writing Omegaverse fanfiction for many years. Long before Cain became published. She should be shamed. She literally copied Bane from DC comics as her main character in Born to Be Bound then borrowed from the well-established Omegaverse fanfiction world only to try to claim it all for herself. I loved her fanfic before she flipped it and I was bummed to see how she turned on other writers.
The algorithm randomly plopped this in front of me tonight. I don’t really follow KGup creators outside of their videos, so I know any of the context here beforehand. That said, I shall now binge this juicy saga of ego and idiocy as god intended: in reverse.
Err, Lindsay? Gene Roddenberry called, he's suing you for copyright infringement due to your extensive, flagrant and blatant use of the image of one Captain Jean Luc Picard. He's very upset that you have directly stolen money from him in this way, ruined his career, defamed him personally and ultimately destroyed the entire Star Trek universe. He and his children are now starving in a hedge row. See you in Court, beeyatch.
the irony of the email specifically stating that the video was transformative right next to saying it isn't fair use when transformation is exactly what makes something fall under fair use...also i love that i knew that from lindsay's fair use video. it's like showing up to class having done all the readings
KGup does ignore DMCA, but generally only for big creators. I guess you’re in the big time now.
So nice, I liked it twice.
Where on earth does this Cain woman get the money to sue people 24/7? And taking on Courtney Milan, a former US Supreme Court clerk as well as a highly respected romance author? BTW--Lindsay Ellis needs to do an essay on the Romance Writers of America unraveling.
You can see the madness and hate behind her Karen eyes.
Engagement. Comments.
I wonder if this person knows about the het omega manga out there in Japan? I’d pay money to see her reaction😆🤣
Man I skipped these videos when they came out. What was I thinking? I'm just going to notifications when your videos come out.
Ah sometimes you just need to see someone shown just how foolish they've been. Has there been any more news on this?
I love your Wolf SpiritHood!! New to your channel, enjoying!! Thank you! (AHWOOOOOO!)
Addison Cain needs to fire her lawyer before they do any more damage
I just feel bad for that kid, man. Imagine having a mom like that
Loved Jenny's voice as cameo!
Watching this right after Sarah's homestuck video, and Folding Ideas' The wall video is really something. I'm so full of forbidden and cursed knowledge.
Uh, the reason youtube dismissed the dcma against you for your last video is because you called out their BS to 1.5M people. Its also funny how video essays which paint youtube in a bad light seems to get hated by the algorithm... I wonder why that might be
"We have each other" Who? The Bullies Anonymous group?
Subbed just bc of this video
#girlbossmoment
I'm so happy I found this channel. Lindsey Ellis is an absolute queen.
❤
This stuff is more entertaining than most movies... I would like a trilogy of feature-length documentaties and a soap opera that lasts for 12 seasons AT LEAST
back again. this all feels like watching the Concordia sink, again
I wish you did minimize this because honestly you would deserve ever penny!!!
"Wolfcock Karen" holy shit
this comment is just feeding the algorithm nom nom
God DAMN it, KGup
I can't help but engage with such engaging content!
very important information explained eloquently by a very beautiful individual . thank you Lindsay!
Almost every aspect of this drama is completely new to me lol. I'm almost grateful to this terrible weird woman who tries to attack everyone's content. It's impressive how she holds on to it. But also, it is because of her silliness,I have learned about wolf porn, fan fic, ... I still don't know what knotting is, but I'm ok with not knowing. Patreon? I mean this is like school.
I... I want more. I mean I want it to be over for you but God damn but I want more. Some of the most ridiculous... I just... The thought processes... I... Anyhow good riddance, I hope you don't have any more trouble.(but if you do for the love of god please more videos)
I love all of this.
LMAO CAROL
CACKLING AT KGup’S “WE WILL *NOT* REMOVE” LMFAO SOMEONE IN KGup IS ALSO PISSED AT HER
I wasn't expecting a sequel! I really should have :P
get we get an update video on this shit show, im invested lol
I'm still most bothered by the claim she invented heterosexuality in a slash fic genre - partly because heterosexuality is fuckin mundane and for the most part mandated and expected and partly because slash fics give female authors the opportunity to project their sexuality onto male bodies which removes all the patriarchal power dynamics of hetero relationships, and acting like removing this is in any way 'innovative' is pure cringe.
Uhhh what? KGup did what? Are you sure youtube sided with a creator?
SEVERAL COMMENTS
Your outfit is just... brilliant
SOMEONE FIGHT ME IN THE COMMENTS
All of this for a Het Omegaverse book series that's kinda lame and it's not even worth the time. Honestly, I found better stuff on Ao3 for free lmao By the way I hope Wolfcock Karen didn't do anything in the end
I thought false DMCAs could get you in jail why isn’t this psychotic fuck in jail
Fight me for increased engagement! Your favorite band sucks
10:10 Bruh it's cause the first video about this opened with the most mind boggling p***ographic THING I'd ever heard or seen. Otherwise it was an excellent video
Almost never comment, make from that what you will
Your a hoot 🦉
Wolves are stupid.
feed the drama. feed the algorithm
Whoever does Cain's voiceovers in this video and the last one is pure genius! 😂😂😂
I've watched this video at least thirty times and it never ceases to make me simultaneously laugh and feel a little depressed about the state of everything. This whole debacle is worthy of Shakespeare, but even the bard would look at the mess that is Addison Cain and be like "bitch is you for real".
why does Addison Cain sound like Rachel Berry from Glee to me? maybe it's just vibes idk
Hey, does anyone wanna get in a comment fight to drive the engagement?
@Goliath100 Puh-leease. She can barely pass the pin to the forwards for the slam dunk. Also, your coach keeps being inappropriate towards the female players, but because of the male players playing favorites, he gets to stick around.
@Joseph Morris How can my team suck when our quarterback has a great home run record?
@Goliath100 Hey, my sports team doesn't suck, yours sucks!!!1!1!!1!!!
@Joseph Morris We need to work on the fighting. What's your sport team? I don't know what it is, only that they suck.
@Goliath100 I actually agree with you on most things, so this is literally the worst KGup comment section fight, but it's also a great conversation between two like minded individuals.
I've watched these videos a few of times now over the past couple of months... and it only just occurred to me that they aren't talking about the porn star.
She just wishes it was as easy to DMCA as it is for music.
Came here from It’s Lit on Storied, definitely lit!
It amuses me no end that Cain craps on endlessly about bullying, but she us the biggest bully Karen in existence...and all over niche porn.
I regret not having watched these when they first popped up in my sub box 😂
This is my favorite video to come back to after a few months. There's fiction that I find less captivating.
Appreciate all the great work Lindsay does!
@10:10 to quote the well loved Jenny Nicholson, "coincidence? there's literally no such thing!"
I really want South Park to make a character out of Cain and have her scenes always end with a wolf dragging her away while fucking the shit out of her 🤣🤣🤣
At this point Addison Cain is like an Anime Villain wherein said Villain is supposed to look comical and ridiculous but be completely unaware of these facts 🤣🤣🤣
I know it's a good video when it opens with the same music as Caligula.
There needs to be a name for the weird, circular irony that keeps happening. Your book recommendation at the end of a video about bullying could seem more than coincidental to the paranoid nuts that are currently harassing you. I hope it all works out for you. *hugs*
This video went off and I’m here for it I’m not even a part of any of these communities
Is the author german? In german copyright law there are some copyrights that will always belong to the creator of the work. One of them is having the right to decline changes to your work, wich I think she was mentioning. Then again blacking out words is not it, it would be changing her actual book.
interaction with the content
A menace and a threat to my child. 5 stars.
Bullshit you don't have an AO3 account. Couldn't even look the camera in the lense.
Engagement
12:53 LESSSS GOOOOO
❤️❤️❤️
When do we get the SnyderCut of this video?
Hope you are doing ok today
This has the same vibes as what Daddy Derek does for anyone even looking at Cool Cat
Gotta wonder how does Addison Cain find time to actually write her wolf erotica if she's wasting all her time writing demands for DMCA takedowns and the like?
Honestly, the best conclusion to Addison Cain making her own bed in this would be no publisher or agent being willing to work with her because based on her track record, she's demonstrated nothing but her lack of professionalism and how much of a headache she is to anyone who has to deal with her. I mean Blushing Books even tried to give her an out by saying, "I mean, doing nothing is a perfectly viable option," and she was like, "Yeah no I want that bitch ruined," and then threw Blushing under the bus and now they're her FORMER publisher.
It is 2am here... I watched both videos back to back... I just... wha-
Imagine being so piss-wrong about your understanding of law that KGup, a site historically known for using automated processes to flag and takedown videos without even so much as looking at them, DOESN'T RESPECT A DMCA TAKEDOWN.
