here's a clip taken from youtube of steven crowder, who @TeamYouTube have said does not violate their policies. youtube are apparently happy to have this material on their websitepic.twitter.com/NsIDtHAwCE
I don't think the attacks are similar. For one, the clip posted above isn't really an attack. It's just broad, extra-not-funny stereotype "jokes". But the attacks on Maza are definitely attacks. They are targeting him specifically for scorn and ridicule.

If Crowder did a bit about "lispy queers" generally I would have a similar reaction to the clip above. It's gross, not funny, but not bannable. When you start targeting individuals with specific harassment, it's very different to me (whether I like the targeted person or not)

It's certainly different, but they're both against Youtube's (stated) rules for good reason. The "general" mockery of minorities encourages direct harassment against anyone in the targeted groups—and itself functions as harassment of a different kind.
