In happier news, the new channel banner looks great. You guys made a good choice; I would have gone with the yellow one, but the white is so much cleaner. Thank you :)

It’s hard to win an argument against a smart person, but near impossible to win one against a dumb person

I totally, agree it’s so dumb. I posted a Lilo and Stitch short on my channel, it was blowing up until it was set to “made for kids” which bombed the short

I read the guidelines and a lot of it boils down to "if the content is about stuff kids enjoy, it can be marked as made for kids" which I find to be very absurd

This whole situation is so stupid. If they want it to be “made for kids” they should just have your videos show up sans comments on the YouTube kids app while it appears normal on standard YouTube. Such a pointless and needless issue. Wishing you luck BG!

I think the gun just adds a personality, like a signature that distinguishes your shorts from other channels

Dude YouTube just said “Ya wait for the next step” NEXT STEP “Ya your gonna wanna wait longer” FINAL STEP “Ya we like don’t feel like changing it because we don’t feel like changing it”

First off, the guns are a great and kind of humorous addition to DISNEY videos. Second, your videos are still great even with YouTube marking them as made for kids.

I don't know how interesting this will be, but here's a look behind the scenes at why I use the daily guns.
YouTube set my "which Incredibles power would be the best IRL?" video to "Made for Kids", which for those of you who haven't been around for this saga, means the comments were removed and the views instantly died. I tried appealing it, and the appeal was rejected. So I moved on to the arbitrary next step: call them out on Twitter.
In the past, they'd usually fix it pretty quickly. This one took 3 WEEKS to get through their systems, and they ultimately rejected my appeal. It's still "Made for Kids" and now it's always going to be.
You can't ask why it got rejected, you can't ask why the OTHER videos WEREN'T rejected... they just always show you the terms. Which, feel free to read if you'd like, there's literally nothing specific in there. It's so full of grey area that YouTube can do whatever they'd like and you just have to accept it.
the terms:

Here's the DMs between me and YouTube. I apologize if my tone seems a bit rude, I am quite sick of this.
There's really not much I can do except call them out again, so... here we are.
@YouTube fix your systems.
