![]() This isn’t about “silencing conservatives.” I don’t give a flying fuck if conservatives on YouTube disagree with me. Every time one gets posted, I wake up to a wall of homophobic/racist abuse on Instagram and Twitter. These videos get millions of views on YouTube. I’ve been called an anchor baby, a lispy queer, a Mexican, etc. Every single video has included repeated, overt attacks on my sexual orientation and ethnicity. ![]() Since I started working at Vox, Steven Crowder has been making video after video “debunking” Strikethrough. He accused the company of not caring about its LGBT creators. ![]() The Vox host told his followers to flag Crowder’s videos and said he did not believe YouTube would take a stand against the commentator. Maza, the host of Vox’s media literacy series “Strikethrough,” accused Crowder on Twitter this week of “repeated, overt attacks on my sexual orientation and ethnicity.” He said that the pundit has called him “an anchor baby” and “a lispy queer.” He also said that Crowder’s videos have caused him to be the “target of ridiculous harassment,” adding that “it makes life sort of miserable.” The company also confirmed to The Hill that it was investigating in response to Maza’s thread, but declined to comment further. Thanks so much for outlining all of this–we’re looking into it further. YouTube responded to Maza’s tweet thread detailing his allegations, saying that it was “looking into it further.” YouTube is investigating conservative commentator Steven Crowder after Vox host Carlos Maza accused him of harassment and making derogatory comments about his ethnicity and sexuality.
