@TeamYouTube I expect you to really do something about this and to start a campaign that makes it clear that homophobia and transphobia will not be tolerated on your site. Period.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -
Crowder is neither of those. He’s a comedian who calls out bullshit and makes offensive jokes

Anyone who makes the comments that he makes, whether outright or veiled in “jokes”, is homophobic. The comments are homophobic. Period.

He’s a comedian, of course what he says is offensive. Comedy is meant to be extremely offensive

No, comedy isn’t supposed to be offensive. Some think offensive things are comedy, but no, it’s not a requirement. Either way, when someone takes it to the point of being harmful and targeting someone, it’s bullying. It’s harassment.

It really is. Comedy is supposed to take serious things and address them in a lighthearted way.

My guess is Crowder knows darn well he’s not being lighthearted. I’m sure he knows exactly what he’s doing...being a bully, then playing the old “what?! I was just joking” bit. It’s classic bullying and the people who defend that tactic provide the bully exactly what they want
