In Defense of the Demons List

this time I don't really discuss the list itself but the staff and they way they are running it.

I don't really want to the comments to be filled with arguments wether or not the list is actually official, so I'll explain in-depth why it's not right here. Before I do that, though: Do realise that if I'm wrong and there's a reasonable argument to be made to call it official it doesn't invalidate my points in the video. The points I made in the video rely on TGI, a list leader, agreeing with me that it should be removed. That could always change of course, but the only thing that matters is that he took my side when all of this was happening.

Anyway. My position is that only RobTop has the authority to decide what is officially related to Geometry Dash and nobody else, and that the Demon List is therefore openly lying to the community by announcing themselves as 'official'.

"But RobTop said he likes the demons list!"
That's not the same as an official endorsement. If Donald Trump were to say that he enjoys drinking Dr. Pepper that would not make it the official presidential beverage either.

"It's as official as it's going to get."
Saying something is as close to something else as it's going to get does not actually make it that thing. Being the most trusted source on the matter is something they can be proud of, but it does not make them official.

"It's not a big deal."
I agree! But it is indicative of other problems I discuss in the video.

"Demonlist is a brand unrelated to RobTop, so they do have the right to call it official."
Actually, if we want to get all technical with it, it says: "Home of the official *Geometry Dash* Demonlist!" It specifically says that it's officially related to Geometry Dash, which it's not. Besides, even if they dropped the "Geometry Dash" part it would still be deceptive at best.

I didn't feel like explaining all of this in the video itself because I doubt many people would want to sit through it when it's not even the main point I'm trying to make. People tend to get kinda pissy when I talk about it though, so I felt that I needed to explain myself here at least.
