      Steven Crowder is an unfunny blowhard, but Carlos Maza is professional adult journalist employed by a major media organization -- not some kid being bullied on a playground. The idea that YouTube needs to "protect" him is ridiculous and infantilehttps://spectator.us/steven-crowder-carlos-maza-playground/ …

      I don't know if Maza self-describes as a "journalist" but he produces political content for Vox under the ostensible guise of journalism. Either way, he's employed by a major media organization. Variety calls him a "chronically bullied gay Hispanic video journalist"pic.twitter.com/aAeP0ReWeb

          Crowder is a juvenile doofus, but Maza is juvenile in his own special way by demanding that tech authorities impose disciplinary action on his adversaries. If you can't withstand mockery online, don't choose a profession that entails making provocative political statements online

          If you're a public figure, like Maza, you simply have to expect ridicule: including the kind of buffoonish, demeaning ridicule Crowder specializes in. It comes with the territory. Your aversion to mean insults doesn't entitle you to dictate what speech is permitted on YouTube

          Turning the tech companies -- who were never supposed to be active arbiters of speech, just facilitators of it -- into functionaries of the government and the elite media, with all the political baggage that entails, is extremely dangerous. If you can't see that, you're a moron

          Crowder and Maza feed off each other in a perverse way. They're both invested in stoking petty online culture war battles, because it's good for their respective "brands." If these are the types of people elevated to the top of the contemporary media hierarchy, we're 100% screwed

          You said you were a huge Stern fan. While obviously this is nowhere near the quality its not dissimilar content.

          Stern made regulars out of people with severe dependence issues, made light of their issues while acknowledging the seriousness of them and doing little to discourage their habits or help them. It does seem a bit weird passing judgement on lwc viewers given the stern obsession.

          In his, uh, defense, I think Crowder's target demo is moderately edgy teenagers. Though I like to think teenage me would still get second-hand cringe from a lot of his humor.

          I don’t find this funny any more than I found the women dressed as vaginas in the Women’s March empowering. They were no less vulgar and offensive than Crowder. And I want neither of them “banned”.

          One question you have to ask: “If liberals weren’t so far off their loony bin reservation, would Steven Crowder’s channel even exist? Or, would it be a more toned down version of itself?” Equal and opposite reactions occur in politics, so why not comedy making fun of them?

          This is the amazing aspect of this whole matter... Why is a comedian’s take the hill to die in for Vox, YouTube, Google? Reaction to holding the Presidents severed head was bad enough, but none of these Media companies went full blown snowflake over an entire genre like now.
