So I was going to the Skylander Boy and Girl's youtube for some nice videos till I saw this. For those who don't want to watch the whole video here is what happened. The SkylanderB&G had an instagram account which got deleted by a guy named Walter. Walter's reasoning was because the account was being "used" by a child under 13. Which is mostly incorrect seeing as Skylander Dad is the owner of said account and approves of which pictures go up. So guys what do you think of this? I feel like it is pretty unjustified!!

Instagram is stupid anyway.

I have never used Instagram
But now I am never going to use it

Instagram is stupid, and the SkylanderKids are..... uh.... ;>.>

I don't care to watch another one of their vids, but just from your description, seeing as how they are the SkylanderKIDS and is rather shown as being about them, the unsuspecting individual who didn't know the dad is actually at the controls could easily be led to believe the kiddos are running the show and report them for breaking the rules and being under 13 (which I'm guessing Instagram, like dA, doesn't allow users that young) leading to account deletion.

I don't see any bullying, just a misunderstanding that would've been easy to make, especially given the quality of the content they spit out.

Regardless when the Skylander Dad contacted Walter, he didnt really believe SD was over 13 (p.p which is incredibly dumb seeing he has a bit of a beard!)

Once again, given the spotlight on the kids and the quality of the content; I would understand if he believed the kids were impersonating their dad and using a pic of him. People lie over the internet.

Yeah the dad might be the owner of it officially, but the kids are still using it right? And I'm pretty sure the age limit is warranted given how many people post dick pics on there...

The skydad is the operator of their youtube, facebook, instagram and other accounts they have. He performs the wacky scenarios with the household, and he, and perhaps the mom as well, uploads the content onto the internet.

This is anything but bullying

More like an ignorant decision made by an idiotic admin.

I only use Instagram to post my toys. >_>

I don't know how deleting an account is considered "bullying" but sure if they want to rally the troops to send angry letters to Instagram whatever.

wait people actually watch their videos what

I see kids often on Instagram, haha.

Online children and some adults watch their channel.

I think it's childish for the dad to urge his children subscribers to harass the admin, Walter. That will only make things worse.

Yeah, ESPECIALLY when he labels it "bullying". BULLYING?! DO THESE HACKS EVEN KNOW WHAT REAL BULLYING IS?! This Walter guy was only being a mini-mod kinda guy, no more, no less.

He's overdoing this scenario.

I'm waiting for their comment on this topic....

*grabs popcorn and 3D glasses* Yeah, me too

This is not bullying. Seems like the right thing to do. The account was made under the impression that it was an adult, no?

Also, this isn't Twitter and/or Tumblr. :d

Skydad labelled the case as "bullying", and it's not bullying in the slightest.

What?

this whole thing is so....stupid??
like, bullying? what?

I wrote "Boo Walter" because I feel sorry for them

Comments I found.

jesus ****ing christ

Their fanbase is mostly made up of children, underaged angry children.

I have soooooo many thoughts on this... but I'm typing on my cell waiting for them to find my pre-orders at TRU...

Quickly - SkylanderDad states tghat the account is his.
SkylanderDad states that he is an adult.

How does Instagram closing an adult's account equate to "bullying children"?

Skydad might be an adult, but he sure doesn't act like one

Do his children actively use the account?

That's really the deciding factor for me.

No, the skydad uses the account. Instagram made a mistake when they thought it was managed by the kids.

Only after they ask SkylanderDad, which means he is one hundred percent under control of any pic they would put up

You do realize they do take care of the hermit crabs right? Even learning from the topic from our hermit crab experts

lmao saying that instagram bullies children. children arent even supposed to be on there in the first place. Just because the kids are using their dad as the middleman doesn't mean they arent underaged and on instagram. Even if they are supervised its still against the tos, regardless.

EDIT: at about 8:50, that would be bullying. Whos the one at fault here? I know they were joking, but really.

I don't think the dad thought this through, probably because he was furious. But seriously, urging children who blindly follow him to bash an admin instead of taking the matter privately? Not a good move.

why r youtube comments so meen?

The creeper comment, I'm dying I'm on an iPad app btw

Honestly this is the main reason I don't like the Skylanderp family.

"You removed my instagram account! Imma tell my subscribers on you and they'll harass you for me!"

We should make a trend called #YayWalter!!

The pinnacle of all modern intelligence right here.

Take after this person.
