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. — PolitiTweet.org
Carlos Maza @gaywonk
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. https://t.co/ifKnARqU0W — PolitiTweet.org
Carlos Maza @gaywonk
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. — PolitiTweet.org
Carlos Maza @gaywonk
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. — PolitiTweet.org
Carlos Maza @gaywonk
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? — PolitiTweet.org
Carlos Maza @gaywonk
Crowder has consistently peddled a conspiracy theory that I’m an NBC operative trying to take down a competitor. Before gettint doxxed, I barely even mentioned Crowder’s repeated harassment to my bosses. Because it’s fucking humiliating to feel like you’re a liability at work. — PolitiTweet.org
Carlos Maza @gaywonk
Nobody at Vox (or NBC?) even knew I was compiling examples of Crowder’s harassment or tweeting my frustration. I did it on my own, at home on my couch, because I was sick of YouTube letting one of their stars violate their clearly written policies. — PolitiTweet.org

Being bullied in school was a fucking miiiiserable experience, but I’m so grateful that I survived it. Because it taught me how to hold on to a really difficult convinction: “just because everyone around you is mad at you, doesn’t mean you’ve done anything wrong.” — PolitiTweet.org

Day Two of the worst pile-on I’ve ever experienced. Every account I have is getting cased. Inboxes full of death threats and “faggot.” Still no response from @TeamYouTube. Meanwhile: https://t.co/CXQNqtSJfR — PolitiTweet.org

YouTube lets toxic and hateful videos flourish on their platform because they’re good for engagement. They aren’t LGBT allies. They’re exploiting us. Because hate makes money. https://t.co/UElP9ijlUv https://t.co/xXvC63DBMG — PolitiTweet.org

YouTube makes money off of ads run on anti-LGBT videos. We are all sort of numb to this by now. But YouTube makes money off of anti-LGBT speech, allows bigots to develop massive, mobilized audiences, and then seduces corporate advertisers by claiming to queer people. Depraved. — PolitiTweet.org
Carlos Maza @gaywonk
YouTube spends a ton of money on PR stunts like this to distract from the fact that its helped anti-LGBT bigots developing massive, loyal fan bases that target queer creators. It’s pinkwashing. They make money off of queer people while creating weapons to abuse them. — PolitiTweet.org

This is the lie YouTube tells to keep advertisers from abandoning the platform. The past 24-hours have been the most abuse-filled of my life, all because YouTube refuses to enforce its anti-harassment policies against its most popular creators. — PolitiTweet.org

.@YouTube helped Crowder build an army of engaged, aggressive fans willing to mobilize on his behalf. He is currently convincing them that I’m an NBC operative trying to shut him down to stifle competition. His fans believe him. YouTube created a monster it‘s afraid to stop. — PolitiTweet.org
Carlos Maza @gaywonk
You can’t ask these people to behave better, or even apologize. @YouTube incentivizes harassers to double down and continue their abuse in order to keep their followers “engaged.” YouTube’s anti-harassment policy is meaningless if violators know they’ll never lose their channels. — PolitiTweet.org
Carlos Maza @gaywonk
For the record: It’s been over 24 hours since I tweeted this. Every social media page I have is being bombarded. Crowder has accused me of being part of an NBC conspiracy, re-upped his harassing videos, and generally laughed this all off. Still nothing from YouTube. https://t.co/6JryGZDzyG — PolitiTweet.org
