No matter what I'm looking for on Youtube, swearing seems to be everywhere. I love watching people play video games on Youtube, especially scary video games, but they have the tendency to cuss a lot when they're scared. Heck, even when they're not scared, they cuss a lot. It's a shame, because there are quite a few people on the Internet that I've had to give up watching because of their language. It's a painful severance every time... I discover them, check out their funny videos, and become a hopeless fan girl. If I ran into them on the street, I would scream and ask for their autographs. After a while, however, their swearing gets to me. As much as I try to ignore it, I have to unsubscribe from them and walk away forever. Well, that's not exactly true. My biggest guilty pleasure is to sneak back onto their channels and watch their videos (and get caught by my husband, haha!) Nevertheless, I know I have to break the habit, because being exposed to that much swearing isn't good for me. It's just not fair! Why do they have to swear so much? :'(

There is, however, a ray of hope for me. There is one Youtube user that only uses minor swearwords, is amazingly creative and talented, and is doggone cute: Tobuscus.

| a.k.a. Toby Turner |
Although he still swears, he is 95% cleaner than any of the Youtubers listed above. And he creates all sorts of interesting videos: shorts, animated cartoons, music videos (with songs he writes and performs himself), literal music videos (hilarious!), video game walkthroughs and commentaries, rants, vlogs, and more! He is so cool and nerdy and epic, I have officially added "meet Toby Turner" on my bucket list. I still would not recommend his channel for kids under 12, but he is a clean alternative to all of the potty-mouths out there.
Of course, there is at least one person on Youtube who does not swear at all...me! Inspired by those listed above, I have begun recording myself playing various video games and uploading them to my Youtube channel. So far, I have videos of Minecraft, Slender, and Tokyo Jungle with many more to come. I also have music videos, shorts, and frogs! Check my channel often for new videos, and if you have a certain video game you want me to play or want to see a tutorial on how to make something, please let me know through my email or the comments below. Youtube might be a breeding ground for swear words, but there are some clean people out there who want to entertain without bad language. Keep trying to find those people, and long live Youtube!
