*IF YOU'RE READING THIS YOUR CAPTIONS ARE RUNNING PERFECTLY, ENJOY THE SHOW*
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to The Xav Experience. In the previous video I talked to you about cartoon that were unfairly
censored. But this time I'll bring you the opposite case. This is disgusting, sad, and it's happening right now.
YOU ARE WATCHING... THE XAV EXPERIENCE!
YouTube Kids is an app that condenses the kids friendly content in YouTube, protecting them from videos that could hurt
or modify their sensitivity. Sounds great on papar, but at execution... It's
terribly failing right now. Since over two years ago, videos are uploaded to YouTube
which are supposedly for children. At first glance, these look to be harmless,
but upon closer inspection, you'll realize
there's something very sinister surrounding the videos. Fetish scenes, full of
sexual content, weird repetitions, inappropiate behavior from children like stealing
a car, coprophilia, violence and sexual crimes. All disguised as an
innocent children's video with no story, but with a pattern. This content
has billions of views and there are testimonials that many children around the world have watched
them. To the point where BBC covered it briefly.
Many people were shocked at this trend of videos, and they gave a name to all of this:
Elsate. Why? Gate is a suffix used for political scandals, for example,
Watergate, Chinagate, Pizzagate and now, Elsagate. Elsa is a reference to the repetition
of Elsa, from Frozen, in these videos.We'll get to that soon.
Now, why so much scandal? Can't those be adult videos in children-like style?
Isn't this something like Happy Tree Friends of South
Park? Here's the line between adult content with children's themes and
children's content with adult themes. Happy Tree Friends, South Park, Rick and Morty, and any
of the like, are clearly aimed at an adult audience, with their respective warnings,
and are broadcasted in adult of teenage networks. The previously mentioned shows have
grotesque imagery and adult themes but those are only a characteristic of the narrative.
Elsagate has no narrativa, no warning, and it's shown in a kids friendly category.
And it gets it its way. What makes this case so unique is that we're not
making only theories and hypothesis. There is something wrong here and it's a fact, as we're about
to see. What are these videos about? As we said, the content
varies from violence to fetishism. What makes things more
eerie is that the format goes from animation with popular characters, to real
actors playing those characters. These actors can be adult aswell as children or toddlers. The paradise
for any pedophile. The most featured characters are Elsa,
Spiderman and the Joker. And sometimes they feature other known characters, like Mickey Mouse, for instance.
Don't you realize something weird? All these characters are protected
under copyright laws. The Joker is not even owned by Disney or Marvel. These
videos don't follow copyright guidelines, yet they stay on YouTube for whatever reason.
Needless to say this content doesn't follow YouTube's guideliens at all
but they're still on the site and, not only that, they are being monetized.
Who created these? Here things get blurry.
The truth is that there are as many creators as there are channels. That's right, many people
all over the world are making the videos. Some are copycats, but
some others clearly work in conjunction. We can realize by looking at patterns
repeated on the channels. So we could say that there is a group of creators
making this content. And every group has a
leader. Who's the leader or who are the leaders of this group of people? That remains unknown.
But the fact that this people are free from copyright infringement and even the platform's rules,
is, at the very least, suspicious. This could be some very important people. But, after
all I said, why? Why making this? Many are the theories but
we'll go in order. First of all, as we said, these videos are monetized. YouTube automatically
pays the creators. Money is a logical reason to make
this. Due to YouTube's sketchy rules with monetization,
there are several kinds of videos that don't fit in with the current policy, so making
videos aimed at children would be the solution. But these videos are not suitable for children. This reason
seems like a bit of a stretch to me because it's too much effort into something so specific, there
has to be something else. Let's think in the target: Kids. Toddlers.
Toddlers that are developing their minds. Repetition is really present
within these videos, colors, color asociation, the fact
that almost always we have the same characters. It all works with children's subconscious.
Sigmund Freud talked about a mnetal scheme which he conceived as "Id, ego and super-ego".
Id is present at birth and is all about pleasure, it has no
limits, no social rules. It's instinctive. Then, at age 4 or 5, we have
super-ego. This is important because social rules appear here, along with
our way, what's right for us. Ego is basically the mix between the last two parts. I'm not intending
to give a lecture in psychoanalysis but I wanted to mention that because it has to do with our point. When
a kid that is developing his or her common sense is exposed nonstop to videos
like in Elsagate, he's going to relate his favorite characters with deviant behavior
and is going to think that what happens is right. What's dangerous is something like kidnap scenes
that occur in these videos. Here, that stuff is being normalized.
Kids will think it's okay to let themselves be kidnapped. Again, a pedo's paradise.
Specially if they disguise as a character. Are we talking about
a worldwide pedophile ring? Are we talking about some sort of MK-Ultra project? It's possible.
A recurring theme in these videos are injections. Not as in vaccines,
but as in buttcheek injections, probably drugs. Here, there are children actors suffering this in the videos.
Besides that, things like abuse, humilliation
and even being forced to eat "feces" is present in these channels. With kids
crying several times or not even doing anything at all. Enter learned helplessness.
This term, invented by psychologist Martin Seligman, refers to
humans or even animals that, after a series or traumatic events, develop
a disorder that makes them completely passive towards these events. This means that a
kid, after seeing all that happens in these videos, or one that is acting
and goes through such experiences, learns not to resist to them, and doesn't
defend himself/herself. Yet again, a pedophile's paradise. As you can see, there's a lot of
impression and alteration going on. The typical story, "he did it because he saw it on TV" takes an unprecedented twist.
On top of all this, the fact that this videos
are in YouTube Kids. They've been there for a long time.
Umpunished. Of course, YouTube works with algorythms
but after practically a year or two of this, one would think that
by now this would be under control. It's not and it doesn't seem to stop.
What's the solution? Monitor what your small children watch on YouTube,
even if it's "Kids". As Investigating YouTube said, being a parent is no easy task and YouTube,
used properly, is a tool for entertaining kids, but the colossus that is the internet
is dangerous sometimes. A format like YT Kids play videos automatically without
stopping, and if a kid is exposed to this kind of content he or she is going to be affected,
as testimonials say. Besides, reporting these videos is a good thing.
Here's a list with some of them, given that it's almost impossible to catch them all.
Thanks so much to King_Heart and returntoblue from Reddit. You can join
/r/Elsagate to learn more about this. SO, TO SUUUUUUM IT UP. There has been a trend
of many channels uploading mass videos. These have tons of views
and are targeted for kids. They feature popular character like Spiderman, Elsa and the Joker,
etc, with no consequence for copyright infringement. This gets weird
when videos include violent, sexual, fetishist and overall adult content,
presented in a warm normal way towards millions of kids. These videos follow
psychological patterns that end up affecting the young minds of the audience,
even changing their behavior, with no consequence for breaking YouTube's rules.
The videos are of pedophile nature and they're created by lots of people all over the world,
but as of now there is not a mastermind revealed for this. How
do we fight this? Controlling what kids watch in YouTube, reporting
videos and spreading the word about this trend, known as Elsagate. I hope my video
helped you understand the topic, I gave it an overall view but there's much more to uncover.
Today I'll ask you to share this video, in your social media,
in WhatsApp, with your friends and family, etc, because this is a real threat
and the more informed we are, the more prepared we are to fight it. I'm Xav, and I'll see you in the next experience.
