Because people are allowed to say what they want within the threshold of the rules on YouTube. It's known as free speech. And yes, they said some shit that's offensive but it's far from hate speech so it's allowed.

YouTube admits the language is hurtful. Hurtful language violates their ToS. Are you logical? Or do you only claim to be when you're surrounded by people with whom you agree with?

Hate speech violates the terms of service, calling someone gay isn't hate speech

Merely referring to someone as gay is not (though if they're not out, I'd argue you were treading the line), but that's not what Crowder does. And I think you know that. /1

YouTube's own policies specify that hurtful language directed specifically at an individual is unacceptable (the picture is above), and in their own commentary, they both concede that the language in such videos was hurtful, and claim that the videos don't violate their ToS. /2
