Ever since I saw this thread pop up, I knew it'd devolve into a very specific conversation: Men are awful, men taking offense at the blanket statement, and then others complaining that men are taking offense.
This story is about one particular dirt bucket who uploaded multiple videos depicting violence against a female npc in RDR 2 and got banned from YouTube for it. I say, good. That YouTuber was a scumbag and the fact that he's surprised that YouTube acted the way he did is both horrible and hilarious at the same time. YouTube is a platform and they can do as they wish… he's entitled to nothing, and frankly, I believe he got what he deserved. Asking for help from Boogie2999 – who is actually looking into this now, it seems, so expect that guy to do another 'I'm going to toe the middle line' video – and Jim Sterling is… is just hilarious.
But of course – and it's sad that this even has to be said – the actions of that man does not reflect all men. For anyone to make that insinuation is ridiculous, the fact that others will take offense to that insinuation is reasonable, and dog piling on the ones who actually speak out against being called inherent abusers just because of their sex is disgustingly sexist behavior.
That's where we're at, eh? You can fall under the blanket of being a woman abuser because of what you have between your legs, and when you speak out against that you're laughed at and called a 'snowflake'?
Can't say I'm surprised that's where this conversation has steered.
News flash, sexism doesn't only mean it's man against woman. It can go either way.
