Arts, crafts, DIYs, and toy customizations are not exclusively child-content and should not be considered as such because they are playful. “male” DIY use materials metal, wood, and heavy machinery; they will not be impacted because their materials aren't considered “childish”.

Dear YouTube,
I am concerned about the new rules regarding content that is considered appealing to kids. The category is so broad, and mostly discriminatory towards majoritarily female creators.

This goes back to the same idea where “female” dominated careers made significantly less than “male” dominated careers.

I urge you to reconsider finer arts and crafts and customizations as ART and educational for all ages. The manner in which content is presented should be more important than the item itself.

A Squishy can be played with, yes, but it can also be turned into a new work of art. A craft kit review can be played with (for children), yes, but it can also be a great way for consumers (those with purchasing power) to know how to save their money.

THE MANNER the content is presented, should matter more than what is on screen. Dolls in a video can be played with, but Doll Customization is also transformative art and expression.

Please, do not put all creators in the same boat. Where does the line cross over from geek fandom celebration, to child-appealing? Context and presentation matter…not just the subject.
