There is now a push to get Steven Crowder thrown off of YouTube. For those of you unfamiliar with Crowder, he’s basically a right of center comedian who has several million followers on his YouTube channel.
Some homosexual who works for Vox named Carlos Maza has been raising a fuss about Crowder because Crowder has been making fun of his faggot ass.
I've been called an anchor baby, a lispy queer, a Mexican, etc. These videos get millions of views on YouTube. Every time one gets posted, I wake up to a wall of homophobic/racist abuse on Instagram and Twitter.

YouTube is investigating conservative commentator Steven Crowder after Vox host Carlos Maza accused him of harassment and making derogatory comments about his ethnicity and sexuality.
YouTube responded to Maza’s tweet thread detailing his allegations, saying that it was “looking into it further.”
The video streaming platform also confirmed to The Verge that it was investigating in response to Maza’s thread.
Maza, the host of Vox’s media literacy series “Strikethrough,” accused Crowder on Twitter this week of “repeated, overt attacks on my sexual orientation and ethnicity.” He said that the pundit has called him “an anchor baby” and “a lispy queer.” He also said that Crowder’s videos have caused him to be the “target of ridiculous harassment,” adding that “it makes life sort of miserable.”
The Vox host told his followers to flag Crowder’s videos and said he did not believe YouTube would take a stand against the commentator. He accused the company of not caring about its LGBT creators.
YouTube already said on Twitter that they are investigating Crowder.
Thanks so much for outlining all of this–we’re looking into it further. Sending you a DM now.

Obviously, this is a bunch of bullshit. Maza is a public figure and this means people have a right to make fun of him and criticize him in his capacity as a public figure. And honestly, what did he expect when he uses the Twitter handle @gaywonk?
But largely, Crowder has only been attacking the substance of Maza’s ideas and arguments. Maza is just mad that he has no substantive response to Crowder so he has decided to respond by trying to get Crowder’s YouTube channel banned.
Crowder did a video about the situation. He weirdly kept mentioning how he has a half-Asian lawyer. I guess that’s supposed to prove that he isn’t a racist or something.
But quite honestly, I don’t care if Crowder gets banned off of YouTube. In fact, it is likely that he’ll get banned at some point. That’s because Jews are attempting to purge almost all right-wing content from the tubes.
In fact, it is probably in our favor that more right-leaning content gets banned as it will only put more political pressure on Donald Trump to do something substantive about all this corporate Silicon Valley censorship that’s going on. Of course, I’m pessimistic that anything at all will actually happen. Seems like the only thing Trump wants to do about this issue is post tweets about it.
