Wow, very powerful video. Everyone should watch this and not be put off by the length of the video. I'm going to sign the pledge and buy the action kit. This horrible man needs to be caught.

A really informative "anti-Kony2012" post on tumblr here that kind of puts things in a different light:

At this point I'm still supporting the campaign, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have some doubts.

There seem to be quite a few hesitant to support the campaign, or who're satirising how widespread it's become. It seems to have been painted in a very simplistic "good vs. evil" light which I suppose is just too blase for some of the more self-righteous.

when I first saw it I must admit I didn't like how it was called Kony 2012, alot of people who've asked me about it immediately thought it/he was good because he was in the title

I feel the guy needs to be punished, death even, but I was never going to buy the things being offered and set it as display pictures etc.


There are so many other suitable causes aswell. The world can be a pretty ****ed place.

Imagine if his name was Edward or George this whole campaign wouldn't exist.. people just love the name " Kony "

I was privileged enough to have met orphans who have escaped similar lives and are 'healing' through music and dance, unfortunately their parents and siblings were not so lucky. I can say, hand on heart, that those young people, as young as 10 years old are the most inspirational people I have ever met.....with everything they have suffered and endured...every one of them had complete faith, trust and love for everyone they met...the only thing on their faces was a huge smile....and they would hug...everyone.
..they are the lucky ones..I will pledge...but my only worry is that there are many 'Kony's and it will still go on

I'm a bit sceptical of entrusting and supporting the Ugandan military with this if I'm honest, they're no stranger to carrying out atrocities themselves :/

They are making it a very 'positive' operation I believe. Make Kony famous, call it Kony 2012, use celebs to spread the word. It has a gloom and doom core but they want people to get excited by the campaign and support it rather than feeling depressed and meh.

If he is captured its has a greater sense of victory for everybody. A different approach from the normal negative vibe attached - a very clever tactic and I think its great.

Lets catch Kony.

The "cup's half empty" brigade will always look deeper into this kind of thing than is necessary and try to find sinister or evil motives for the good work done by them.

I will join the campaign and on the 20th April I will put posters round my city. Even if you do not buy the posters from the shop you can still print them off from home and distribute them that way. You are still supporting the cause and that is the most important thing. He needs to be caught and brought to justice.

Just managed to view the video. Very inspirational but can't ignore the bias within it. There will be other factors in the matter not known by us or even him.

Though I still believe in the cause and like the whole coming together as a community with it. I wish I was in a city to do the night thing.

Hopefully I can get the action kit. I really want one of those bracelets and some posters to put up around the school and stuff.

A very good and powerful video. The only real problem is that the Ugandan army itself is known for looting, killing, and raping innocent people as well.

He's ******ing raping my news feed and everyone needs to calm down and stop acting like they've been apart of this 'movement' for years when half of them are just on a bandwagon trying to keep up with the latest thing to complain about.

But this made me laugh;
