I mean, yeah, you just know at least one jackass in a salmon polo shirt on @TeamYouTube looked at Crowder's flagrant disregard for the TOS, took a sip of his peach-pear LaCroix, and said "I love that guy, I don't see a problem here."

Its bad that Maza was harrassed by Crowder. However, I wonder how YT would handle requests to take down Colber, Noah and Oliver's content. They have a ton of content harrassing Trump and other politicians based on appearance repeatedly. Shouldn't YT apply the policy equally?

You’d be pretty hard pressed to find them using out and out slurs, though.

Agreed, however they clearly violate YT TOS that doesn't allow targeted bullying.

Imagine being so riddled with brain worms that you think the POTUS is being bullied by people making fun of his many, many, many factual and observable crimes, scams, and failures, present and historical.

I havent read YT's terms, but they've surely got an exception for political commentary re: public(ie political) figures. Like: there's a world of difference, legally, btw targeted harassment of a journalist for being gay and analogizing a politician's policies via physical insult

by which I mean: Euros have a long tradition of putting moral value in physical&personal traits, and so using caricature as a way to metaphorically comment on the moral failures of public figures.

I am all for holding public officials accountable and may be even use a bit of mockery to bring important issues to attention. Putting moral values in physical traits though? May be that tradition ought to be dropped. Colonization was a tradition too.

If colonialism was "tradition" then why did it so desperately need to define the Americas, Africa, and Asia as "new", "dark", and "uncivilized" places where traditional laws and morality didn't apply? That's just a weak argument.

British India had their traditional laws and morality imposed for 250+ years. My grandparents were all born in it. For colonization to be a tradition needn't hinge on following traditions in colonies. This is a red herring anyway, my point was morals in physical traits is bad.

And it is, but like I also said in my other tweets: good luck convincing ppl to abandon that, it's been a part of comedy&satire for lit all of recorded history. 1/2

2/2 & to repeat myself: The EIC and later Crown treated Indians in ways they could never have treated Brits. This moral Abomination was justified by declaring India&Indians outside the bounds of those traditions, and their own traditions of law&morality irrelevant.
