Jimquisition Wasn't Censored! I Had To Fix Something
Added 2019-10-14 16:11:26 +0000 UTCWhile it'll cost me views, I had to take down today's video to make a quick correction. A picture of Japan ended up in the edit while we were talking about China, and while I know most people will be okay with that as an honest error, a simple correction in the comments and on social media isn't enough for me, especially given the dicey nature of the topic.
I can't stand errors in my videos, and the more controversial the topic, the more important it is for me to be correct, even on minor visual slips like this.
Don't worry, the video was not censored by China! It'll be back up soon, hopefully within the hour. I apologize for the inconvenience, especially if you were in the middle of watching it.

According to the Romines, that's evidence of negligence.

2019-10-15 09:58:44 +0000 UTCYeah, I can understand why you'd want to fix that, especially given the ugly history between Japan and China.

2019-10-14 17:12:48 +0000 UTCI researched and researched that, and both a language scholar and a Chinese tutor said it should *not* sound like "sh". Now I didn't do it exactly how it should be done, because there's not much in the English language that can do it without throwing off the fluidity of a sentence, but I did my best to be more accurate.

2019-10-14 16:26:12 +0000 UTCIt was a funny coincidence, I had just gotten to the joke at the end with YouTube shutting it down, tried to go for the like and couldn't. Glad to hear it was on purpose and not censorship!

2019-10-14 16:16:32 +0000 UTCHa! I saw the whole thing! 😆 And totally missed the Japanese flag thing. But, I understand the overwhelming need to fix something in a published video. Guess I'll just have to watch the fixed video too. 🙂

2019-10-14 16:15:46 +0000 UTCI'm choosing to believe it was actually censored.
