Man Wattpad’s been on its censorship bs again.
It’s been automatically marking some of my books as “Mature” which is something I’ve been avoiding doing because it hides them from the rankings and limits their exposure.
I’m fully aware of how graphic and inappropriate my raps are, but it’s just a part of the game, the culture, the landscape of rap, it’s what we do, and limiting the exposure of artists based on the content of their art will always be something I strongly detest.
Having said that, I have now marked all of my projects as “Mature” just to save me the hassle of getting messages from Wattpad and having the risk of my account getting banned or deleted for “violating guidelines” or whatever.
I’m not quite sure if there’s any implications to the reader (age verification or some other bs) but I can only apologise if you do encounter any issues when reading my projects going forward.
It’s not an announcement I wanted to make or an action I wanted to take, but unfortunately it’s been taken out of my hands, the safety of my account is in jeopardy and I fear it might be the beginning of the end for this account…
But I’m not going down without a fight, I’ve still got plenty of songs to write, still gonna stick it to the man whenever I get the opportunity, still gonna be the same Revilo you fell in love with, because authenticity is what it’s all about, I keep it real, that’s why I’m posting this update to let you all know about the situation!
So I will release my new track “Da Rev” later today and it will be a proverbial middle finger to Wattpad and anyone else who critiques my style, because I’m Revilo, and that’s what Revilo does best!
