I mean, I guess we can re-evaluate in the future, but in the present, Crowder's actions seems to pretty succinctly fall into the definitions of toxic, demeaning, abusive, harassment, homophobic, insulting, etc. We have to draw a line somewhere, and it should be well before this.

In my opinion, YouTube should have just left the situation alone. Although what he did say was very demeaning, their involvement gives them a political bias due to these channels being so outspokenly left and right. All their actions did was lead to people losing their livelihood

Does a guilty man in court argue that he shouldn't be convicted because it will threaten his livelihood? If these people can't refrain from being toxic assholes, then that's on them. They should have the personal responsibility and self-awareness to better themselves as humans.

Actually yes, a guilty man in court can plead for a lesser sentence, to the jury, if it not only affects his livelihood but also the people around him, like people he takes care of or family. If you researched Crowder you would see he's currently employing 10+

Seems like those employees should have the self-agency to recognize just how toxic/tenuous their boss is and calculate the risks from there. I still don't see this as something that should be tolerated whatsoever just because some people are dependent on him.

He's a comedian, it's an act and a gig just like any other late night show host. To tell them to calculate their risks beforehand is heinous, that's like making fun of people who lost their homes in earthquakes for living in a earthquake prone zone

Its still inexcusable behavior. If you want to set up an insurance fund for employees who lose their employment because their boss was an idiot who literally couldn't stop himself from pointlessly harassing others, I guess I'd be fine with that.

But then again, like I said before, what if in the future this language isn't bad at all? Wouldn't that be very hypocritical just to go with how society is *feeling* at the moment? Imagine losing years and years of work only for it to have been lost for, in the end, nothing

Speculating about what the future could hold doesn't mean we shouldn't react to and/or punish clearly abusive behavior in the present.

I am going to be frank, that is terrible logic. That's like saying guilty until proven so, instead of innocent until proven guilty. Also, that was a great video you sent me thank you lol

I think the more apt analogy would be letting a guilty person who was convinced "beyond a reasonable doubt" walk free because "something in the future could possibly make that doubt more reasonable who knows *shrugs*"
