And for fucks sake: STOP agreeing to participate in @YouTube’s Pride and public relations packages. The company is exploiting you while arming your abusers. Don’t let them use you in corporate branding shit. — PolitiTweet.org

@hutchinson @aguyuno Nobody fucking does. Not even YouTube — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

The beautiful thing about early @YouTube was watching queer and marginalized people learn how to use their voices, to value the power of their testimony. We can use that same power to force YouTube to do better — to give a shit about the communities it was built on the backs of. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

The important thing is this: @YouTube isn’t going to listen to cries for help. They don’t give a shit about the the harm they’re doing to queer and marginalized people. You have to raise hell. Use their platform against them. Hold them accountable for their neglect. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

We’ve all gotten so fucking used to how toxic and shitty @YouTube is. We all just accept that this is the way things are now. But it doesn’t have to be. It’s toxic because YouTube let get this way, let bigots and alt-right creeps and shock jockeys take over. Its on them. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

It's going to get so much worse now. @YouTube has publicly stated that racist and homophobic abuse doesn't violate their anti-bullying policies. Crowder and his allies are going to be emboldened. I genuinely can't imagine what LGBT employees at YouTube are doing right now. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

.@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

If you're a prominent LGBT creator on @YouTube, you have an incredible opportunity to raise hell for a company that's been exploiting you for a while now. It's fucking Pride month. Use your power. Other queer creators are counting on you. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

I have spent two years getting targeted by racist and homophobic abuse from one of @YouTube's star creators. Today, YouTube decided that none of this violated their terms of service: https://t.co/UReCcQ2Elj — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

I don’t know what else LGBT people are supposed to do. I compiled the clips for them. I sent them everything. Publicly begged them to pay attention. It’s never enough. Because @YouTube does not give a fuck about protecting marginalized people, and it never has. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

And if you’re an LGBT employee working at @YouTube, what the fuck are you doing? Helping a guy sell “Socialism Is For Fags” t-shirts? That company isn’t your friend. It’s arming the monsters that we’ve spent our lives trying to get away from. Walk out of there. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

If you’re an LGBT creator, @YouTube is using you. They’re trotting you out to convince advertisers that their platform hasn’t become a breeding ground for hate speech and bigotry. They’re hoping you’ll distract advertisers away from the monsters they’re creating. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

To be crystal clear: @YouTube has decided that targeted racist and homophobic harassment does not violate its policies against hate speech or harassment. That’s an absolutely batshit policy that gives bigots free license. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

I don’t know what to say. @YouTube has decided not to punish Crowder, after he spent two years harassing me for being gay and Latino. I don't know what to say. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

I don’t know what to say. @YouTube has decided not to punish Crowder AT ALL, despite his repeated violation of their anti-harassment and anti-bullying policy and his selling of “Socialism Is For Fags” shirts. Their full statement is below. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

@RobbLoeb @YouTube @TeamYouTube Damn. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

And I hope all of the prominent LGBT creators -- who @YouTube relies on every Pride to pad their corporate image -- start getting pissed about this too. If YouTube won't protect LGBT creators from repeated abuse and harassment, it doesn't deserve to profit off your work. — PolitiTweet.org
