He's the Change My Mind guy. Those videos are frustrating because the way he frames his arguments against left leaning ideas is bullshit.

No surprise that he's a homophobe either.

What's brilliant about this is that it proves beyond doubt that YouTube has the resources to respond to these issues but chooses not to.

Google and YouTube are shit companies. They're not going to do anything and if they do, it's only reaction to bad press.

"looking into it" seems pretty funny to me. Like, look into that delete channel button 'cause what the fuck more evidence do you need?
This is exactly what I was thinking. What the fuck more is there to investigate? It's right there. Delete the channel. Zero tolerance, not even once should be allowed, and here we have evidence of repeated infractions. Goodbye.

This strikes directly to my very core. To see Maza being hurt this way out of intolerance.

It's unacceptable. And it's fucking disgusting how laissez-faire all these platforms are when it comes to hate, that they can't even follow through on their own guidelines.

WHAT YEAR IS IT!? Never heard of Crowder but it seems like every time a youtuber gets "famous" it's because they have timetraveled to shock jock 1980s high school bully land.

How is there an audience for two old-ass men who thinks that calling someone queer is intrinsically amusing or even necessarily insulting?


Oh. "Conservative late night comedy" - Well, you get what you pay for.


Edit. Just watched a montage of highlights that his own channel made and about 60% of his "art" is him doing a lisping gay pastiche. I think the Projection Booth is full on this one. Another reminder that the Log Cabin Republican organization is a kind of selfish Libertarian Stockholm Syndrome with a hint of Vichy Collaborator.

Yeah this is why it's important to keep up public pressure. Because even if the progress has been shitty and slow, there has been some incremental progress in getting these companies to actually be pro active about this stuff.

Because he's smart enough not to get embarrassed by Sam Seder like Charlie Kirk was, and instead will go after people who aren't ready for "shock jock" debate tactics.

Crowder's debate style boils down to "say the most outrageous thing to stun your opponent and throw them off balance. Then throw in some random stat or surface level opinion that can't be countered effectively by the other person who's still trying to process what the fuck you said a minute earlier."

Seder doesn't fall for that shit or digs at him personally. Thus, Crowder is a coward.

Out of the the far right convervative idiots crowder might honestly be one of the most fucking annoying pricks of the bunch honestly
It's because he's the most outlandishly sophomoric, at least Shapiro and Rubin are interested in the ostensible veneer of intelectualism. Crowder is trying to be a right wing Howard Stern but he's so painfully unfunny and idiotic that he can't come up with more than the same "lol ur gay and a darkie" jokes over and over and over. It's why he wears a dress all the time.

The whole "change my mind" thing is so ridiculous too. Like why, who the fuck are you? Do you have the "end all racism" button under that folding table you're sitting behind?

Least interesting, intelligent, and funny. No idea why he's at all popular.
He isn't really. His actual audience is like, 100K angry white kids. That's his audience. The rest is, like all of these goons, bots and manufactured metrics to boost them and make them appear to be more legitimate and prominent than they actually are. Charlie Kirk gets almost NO play among the young crowd that he's ostensibly targeting, all the metrics show that he doesn't, yet he still "pulls in views and engagement" which means that all the dark money goes to funding this stuff makes him seem more important than he is.

It's all a clever game of obfuscation to confuse the algorithms and make them appear to be more popular then they actually are.

The whole "It actually says Socialism is for Figs" is so intellectually dishonest, I genuinely can't believe people are actually trying to make that argument. The "joke" is that people are going to think it says "Fags" because they intentionally censor it. It's basically an incredibly shitty and obvious joke.

FFS

South Park did the same thing, but actually has some self awareness about the thing unlike this shirt.

I think that Crowder is probably the worse one out of all of the right wing reactionary youtube channels. Maybe it's because he doesn't quite have the name value of some of the other ones, so I feel that he can turn it up to 11 on the outright racist/bigot shit and get away with it. I mean, he's just as bad as E;R(the channel that PewDiePie gave a shout out to) and maybe even more outright racist than his content so I don't understand why Youtube has allowed his channel to grow to the point where he has a professional studio setup, cohosts etc

Also, Steven Crowder is a "comedian" so he comes doubled with not only being a loud alr-righter, but also with a Dane Cook lite schtick that makes his face extra punchable.

It's a shame that it had to come to this to get them to pay attention. That said, this is pretty creative.

The twitter thread in the OP is depressing. I don't know who this Crowder guy is but he seems like a MAJOR asshole. JFC

And his "fans" harassing followers are all assholes as well.

Because those all came from the mountains of dark money these idiots get. Not from any organic growth of discourse. You can even see it in these replies to Menza's tweets, his "supporters" are like, 30-40 strong. His actual audience is not nearly as large or as broad as it appears to be. It's all just fudging the numbers basically by lying and cheating because the people that pay for him can afford to do that.

Semi Related:

I don't think that "Change my mind" meme template exists to make fun of Crowder.
It just caught on because of the smug face, the coffee mug, and the opportunity to make jokes.
Pretty sure he likes a lot of the mems associated with it.

I say it's about time the cancelation efforts brought their attention to Mr. Crowder. Make the little piggy squeal a bit.

That is an amazing way to bring it to their attention.

Also, Carlos Maza does a great job in his videos for vox so I hope this shit actually works and something happens to Crowder's channel.
