I spent years trying to ignore it because I didn’t want to add fuel to the fire. Nobody at Vox has ever encouraged me to publicly mention Crowder.
But two years of targeted harassment is enough. @YouTube has an explicit anti-harassment policy for a reason. What’s the holdup?

Crowder (and Beck and co) want you to believe that I’m part of some massive NBC conspiracy theory because the alternative — that I’m a normal person who’s publicly begging
@YouTube to stop a massive account from targeting me — makes them look like bullies. Which they are.38 replies 300 retweets 3,097 likesShow this thread -
Nobody asked Crowder to spend years mocking my sexuality or ethnicity. I have never mentioned Crowder in a single YouTube video. I spent years quietly watching him call me a “lispy queer” to his fans. The idea that I started this to take down a “competitor” is genuinely batshit.

I realize that this argument is purposefully ridiculous and meant to distract from the real issue. Which is that, for years,
@YouTube has allowed a massive right-wing account to violate their policies, harass queer creators, and sell “Socialism Is For Fags” shirts with impunity.pic.twitter.com/ifKnARqU0W

It has been three full days without a response from
@TeamYouTube. In the meantime, Crowder and his allies have uploaded multiple videos targeting me for additional harassment. Nothing will happen to him. Because@YouTube doesn’t give a fuck about queer creators.352 replies 804 retweets 5,000 likesShow this thread -

you must not have experienced that thing that happens when black people use the n-word amongst each other and it's fine but a white person uses it and everyone loses their shit, because that's how reclaimed slurs actually work.

my skin is plenty thick, but i refuse to "get over" people being shitty to other people for no reason. there are bigger issues people should be worried about right now than whether or not someone deserves to be called names.
