Atheist vlogger Thunderf00t reports that Jordan Owen, Slade Villena, and Mykeru were "all suspended from twitter for no reason." Jordan Owen is the co-producer of the documentary The Sarkeesian Effect, a critique of the methods of controversial vlogger Anita Sarkeesian. Mykeru is the producer of The Block Bot and the Dumbification of the Beeb, a critique of the BBC Newsnight segment "Talking to the Twitter Trolls and those Who Study them". Slade Villena is a former writer for Gamasutra and the founder of indie game developer Rogue Star Games.

Thunderf00t himself was suspended from Twitter for two weeks in September for unclear reasons. At that time Twitter had also banned the account of "The Camera Lady", the researcher for a video series accusing award-winning developer Phil Fish and the Independent Games Festival of racketeering.

    I wasn't going to comment on this summary because the types it attracts quite frankly creep me out. Reminds me of the cultists I was around at one point in my life telling people that they're intolerant and oppressive because someone else told them that they're brainwashing hypocrits. But yeah, I agree. I actually made a video recently to check in with friends that is for all intents and purposes a "vlog" but I couldn't handle tagging it as such on youtube let alone using it in the title or description. It really takes a suppression of one's shame to use such a term that's fer sure. Especially when people pronounce it "vuh-log" instead of "v-log"
