.@YouTube finds all the bullies LGBT people tried to escape from in high school and gives them the weapons and platform they need to keep tormenting us in adulthood. It's a platform for monsters masquerading as an ally to the LGBT people they target. — PolitiTweet.org

Anyway can't fucking WAIT to see @YouTube's Pride month video where they pretend to give a shit about the well-being of LGBT creators in order to *checks notes* help draw more advertisers to the platform to make more money. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

I cannot explain how awful it is to see a video where you're called a "lispy queer" pass a MILLION views. THOUSANDS of comments piling on. How the fuck are LGBT people expected to produce interesting content in this environment? — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

Harassment isn't siloed, either. Every time he makes one of these videos, his fans flood the comments on the original Vox video. So a piece I spent 4 weeks working on is drowning in homophobic and abusive comments and downvotes. Other Vox fans see it. It's humiliating. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

Again, the problem isn't Crowder. There will always be fucking assholes trying to get attention by being bigots. The problem is that @YouTube is designed to give those assholes a megaphone, push new followers in their directions, and keep them listening. It's a weapon. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

Anyway, if you want to help, I guess you can go to this dude's videos and flag them? But @YouTube isn't going to do anything, because YouTube does not give a fuck about queer creators. It cares about "engagement," and homophobic/racist harassment is VERY "engaging." — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

This isn't about "silencing conservatives." I don't give a flying fuck if conservatives on YouTube disagree with me. But by refusing to enforce its anti-harassment policy, YouTube is helping incredibly powerful cyberbullies organize and target people they disagree with. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

My family sees this shit. I've had to explain to my much younger sister what the fuck a Steven Crowder is, and ask my siblings not to respond. Its exhausting. I wish @YouTube gave enough of a shit to stop its platform from becoming a fucking playground for assholes. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

Which is all to say: I work my fucking ass off to create smart, thorough, engaging content for @YouTube, a company that claims to give a shit about LGBT creators. And its miserable to have that same company helping facilitate a truly mind melting amount of direct harassment. — PolitiTweet.org

But the most purely socialist game, though, is Dungeons & Dragons. A game that doesn't ask you to buy a bunch of shit, or dominate your competitors. A game that proves we can find endless joy just by working and dreaming together. — PolitiTweet.org

“Naaaaaaah Bud” Level One Abjuration Spell Whenever an enemy asks you to “explain” or “debate” an issue, you can use your reaction to banish them to the Feywild. Until the spell ends, the enemy’s voice is replaced with the sound of a 10 whimpering babies. — PolitiTweet.org
