Right off the bat, he calls Steven's claim of "0%" as bad logic; but in the same moment he applied USCDC statistics of AIDS to apply globally - when surely he knows Africa is ENTIRELY different to the US. Not to mention Steven's argument has ALWAYS been only for AIDS in USA.

Uh, no. He actually looked at the numbers both globally and domestically to show how Crowder was manipulating figures to come to the conclusion he wanted. I'm assuming, since you said this, that you just watched the video until you thought you had a gotcha and then turned it off

He still applied that number globally. That's already some disingenuous stuff.

...You're defending Steven Crowder. The poster boy for disingenuity. You have entered galaxy brain hypocrisy levels now

No, I'm just saying if you're going to make the claim for him, using this guy as an argument isn't a great start.

And once more, we're away from the original point: Steven said things he's always said as an entertainer. Carlos had a week long fit, YouTube did something to try and satisfy him, others got hurt in the process, Carlos thinks YouTube didn't go far enough.

We are not away from the original point at all, you're just being disingenuous about what the original point is - Crowder is in trouble for his use of homophobic language (which is claim that HIV is a hoax is a further example of)

Your only argument has been "What Crowder said is fine because I think it's funny, it's the gay peoples' fault for telling on him", which isn't actually a defense at all

Well, not really but I don't think we're going to agree on this. YouTube are entirely aware of what Steven is about (especially since they kind of invited him to be a content creator in the first place...).

Steven even attended a summit where YouTube told him that his content was fine. They've put arbitrary strikes and false claims against his videos in the past that have been revoked because they didn't have a leg to stand on. This whole thing came about because Carlos kept ranting

Mike Maynard Retweeted Steven Crowder
No, it was actually a different Youtuber (Shaun_Jen) who brought it to their attention. This came about because a huge swath of LGBTQ creators, on Pride month, had had enough of Crowder getting away with shit like this for yearshttps://twitter.com/scrowder/status/735106866657693696 …
