And I was happy no one had brought this up yet.

1. We don't know what happened except what BrickQueen has stated, which is several people reported her and Cuusoo accused her of having fake accounts. So we shouldn't make any judgments or argue about it, because anything more than that is just speculation.
2. These episodes bring out the worst in tweenage Lego lovers with youtube accounts. Two other Jurassic Park projects had their comment sections closed because of angry Brickqueen followers blaming them for her ban. And her youtube video had tons of people crying for the death of the person(s) responsible when they had only gotten one side of the story and that will continue. Only the Cuusoo staff and Brickqueen actually know what happened, and not even they have the full story.
3. Brickqueen has moved on from this, and I'm happy she has, as I think she definitely went the wrong way about getting her account back by having vlog updates that got her supporters become an angry mob attacking Cuusoo and cuusoo users. That wasn't her fault but she should have realized something like that would happen.

Ya I see what you are saying. I wached all of her vids about this and I am sad for her.

well I never go on Cuusoo so I missed all of this and I don't even know who the brickqueen is but wow that's really too bad.

Just sayin though the best place to post this  would be like the http://www.bricksinmotion.com/forums/to … go-cuusoo/ cuusoo thread

seriously she needs to directly contact the staff of the website.

Also back when I was active in the Youtube community I know how petty and mean they can be. Worse than the bad bronies. And that's saying something for a fandom. (I'm not against bronies, because I am actually one. I'm against the bronies who are hypocrites and make death threats, etc. the bad bronies.)
She also mentioned something in a video about receiving messages against women lego designers. I think there is some discussion to be had about this, because you know practically 99% of lego hobbyists (bloggers, brickfilmers, set builders) are probably male. So I don't know anything based on that one mention of it, but perhaps sexism came into play in this attack? We obviously don't have enough evidence to even start a serious discussion but it's still an interesting possibility.

tl;dr cuusoo is a dangerous place

EDIT: There was this scandal against the same person two weeks ago.

EDIT EDIT: THere's a whole BLOG on lego scandals and brickqueen is involved in a lot, it seems. now, I've never heard of brickqueen so I have no comment on these issues. I'm just being reminded of what a terrible, brutal, nasty group of people lego fans can be. *war flashbacks*

Always, always be careful about jumping to a conclusion when hearing one side of the story, whether for or against. Jumping to conclusions is why you have fans of hers raiding other Cuusoo projects and, on the other hand, people like Carousel demeaning her character. None of us know the facts. The appropriate response would be to take it to Cuusoo and request a statement or reconsidering from them. Apparently that's not as fun, however, as spewing vitriol.

And topit? That "Brick Truth" blog was one of the saddest things I've ever seen. What a waste of that blogger's time.

I couldn't agree more vehemently. From what I gather, these BrickQueen videos are nothing to jump and shout about anyway. I think I might've watched one at some point in the past, but looking at the ones on this issue actually makes me ashamed to still play with LEGO. What kind of image does she paint of us? It's because of videos like these, where

that I'm normally terrified of telling anyone that I, a 17 year old, make brickfilms. I do two martial arts, proclaim to the world that I'm a Twilight fan (which sometimes garners disrespect) and yet have a problem saying that I still buy LEGO, and that I make videos with it. Videos like these embarress me no end. So what if your CUUSOO project got taken down? Nobody died - that would be something to cry about. Isn't CUUSOO just supposed to be done for fun anyway? I've seen spoilt babies behave better (well, not by much, but you get the comparison).

You see, the reaction to her videos and all this uproar is why, aside from posting here (which is actually quite a restrained and well-spoken forum) I won't touch forums with a barge pole. They only cause trouble - even online, gangs gather, and you get a lot of fuss over things which don't even matter. The sad thing is that issues that do matter never get the attention they should online.

Anyway, I'm getting off topic. Basically, Carousel, I agree with you wholeheartedly. It is sad, and unfortunately, faux-issues like these make me seriously reconsider whether I still want to be associated with LEGO and brickfilming at the age of 17.

Rant over. Sorry if that was a big chunk of text. Hope the meme in the middle helps.

I'm over twice 17.  no shame.
