This one was kind of harrowing to watch. It seems that YouTube uses a number of methods to suppress speech for LGBTQIA+ creators. Demonetization, Age Restriction, Strikes, Copyright Takedowns, let alone undue ones. What’s worse, the same fascist demagoges who claim “They won’t debate me” use IP laws to silence criticism, and violate community guidelines by spreading vile hate speech against minorities, earning money in the process! It is infuriating, and also keep in mind there is CW:Transphobia and Racism mentioned in the video.
How come the upvote/downvote ratio is so weirdly even? Did Jessie Gender get cancelled while I wasn’t looking, or what?
I am not very well aware of the scene, and I don’t know where this criticism originates from, but from her recent YouTube history I gather she has been in hot water lately, either for her take on the Sarah McBride thing, and/or some of her takes regarding Gaza. Take this with a grain of salt, since this is just my conjecture.
From the videos I watched[1] I could not find something objectionable, either on the Khelif case or the 4-hour review of antisemitism[2]. From what I watched it was pretty much a thorough historical treatment of the topic. I assume she goes through all of it to later define and differentiate antisemitism from anti-Zionism, but I had not the time to watch through.
I understand she was overly critical of Sarah McBride in her first video on the topic of a transgender bathroom ban in Congress, but she justified her position in a second video[3], claiming she did not want to blame the victim and Sarah is between a rock and a hard place. From the fact she chose to shoot the second video while driving I gather there must have been at least some drama involved.
