(3/4) As an open platform, it’s crucial for us to allow everyone–from creators to journalists to late-night TV hosts–to express their opinions w/in the scope of our policies. Opinions can be deeply offensive, but if they don’t violate our policies, they’ll remain on our site.

(4/4) Even if a video remains on our site, it doesn’t mean we endorse/support that viewpoint. There are other aspects of the channel that we’re still evaluating– we’ll be in touch with any further updates.

Ooof...well, let's not have any of the usual "YouTube is so pro-LGBTQ!" celebration until zero people are using your platform to sell "Socialism is for Fags" shirts, ok? Hugs to all the queer YouTube employees who are very sad and frustrated today.

The shirts do not say that. Have you seen them? Do you even know what you are talking about? Perhaps you should try to actually look at what you criticize before you make such a fool of yourself. What a foolish person.

you just called an extremely successful author, entrepreneur, and father foolish... if your argument is that the shirt says "socialism is for figs," you must realize what figs is meant to imply, right?

Appeal to...success? Weak. And yes, it's meant as an trolling joke for those who get it. It worked. Same as other third grade nonsense. Adults should be able to handle this sort of thing. I'm not an old fogey here born in '81, but I remember a thing about sticks and stones...

Oh, you're old? cool, that means you'll die relatively quickly and get out of the way so my generation can change the BS that you've grown accustomed to

Most of my own generation is weak and stupid as well. It's the education system. If you think 38 is old, wait til you hit 38. It's weird dude, doesn't feel old. We all die, and by the time you're "old" you'll be more mature. Good luck out there.

Yeah, they did. But since you think we old. Medical science is making marvelous strides in life longevity. I’m going to live well past 100 and suck the social security tit dry! There will be nothing left for you. Bwahahahaha!
