    To answer your question, no... I have no clue why you would believe I do... I'd ban people at any property I own that are antagonizing my patrons... but, I don't think that's a required characteristic of an asshole...
    If you ask stupid questions that have nothing to do with what's being discussed, I'm going to give you some stupid answer.

    He/she is right.
    I'm glad she got banned and I will gladly use the "private business can do whatever it wants", but for different reasons.

    If you honestly think that private business can do that, would you also protest if some gay pride channel got banned?
    That's all that's being discussed.

    Yeah, the question is stupid. Sure... It's very difficult to answer stupid questions... I understand...

    I can easily answer it. There is a huge difference between being gay and vocalizing an opinion that your patrons are assholes. Once you figure that out, answering my stupid question will be quicker than your actual reply.

    That's fantastic. I am trying to explain why the same people being up in arms over gay banning, is different than bans due to beligerent behavior. I am responding directly to what I quoted... To your reply, regarding how the two reaction would be different...

    He's right. If some gay pride channel got banned, you would see exactly the same people now saying "it's YT, they can do whatever they want" then say "that's discrimination and YT should burn".
    I am one of those people telling you they are different. Which is why I asked if you think those two are different. The stupid question was giving you a way to have a smart explanation for equating the two.

    The argument that a company can do whatever they want with their property is somehow not going to be as popular if they had banned a Gay channel - Even though the argument works just as well for them as it does for the racist.

    I don't think you understand the discussion.
    I don't care what's right and what's wrong. I don't care if being gay is right. I don't care if being racist is wrong.

    Private business can do WHATEVER it wants. Correct or not?
    Do you think they could ban her because it was against their rules? Alright. What if rules were different and all gay pride channels were banned? Would you still agree?

    There are rules. Not feels.

    I'm pretty sure both sides of the political spectrum view the other as assholes, that doesn't mean either side should be shut down by the other. Especially in this case, where from what I saw of her videos she was using facts. Even in her more controversial videos like "how to identify a jew" she was using actual physical traits as a basis for her reasoning. Now I am in no way saying that she was right to do this, but it does beg the question if someone made a video titled "How to identify a Brit" or "How to Identify a German" would it get as much attention? I tend to believe the answer is no, and therefore there is a double standard when it comes to free speech.

    The argument only works if you think both are equal. Which means you are arguing semantics, which would still hinge on them being different... or that you think both are the same...

    Not servicing assholes is different from discriminating against groups of people.

    Youtube would have no trouble banning either.
    The argument is either good, or not.
    You cant say its good when you use it against racists, and bad if you use it against gay people.
    Well, you can, but that's called hypocrisy.

    Unless you have an objective standard for 'asshole' you are just arbitrarily refusing to serve some people because 'feels'

    Yes, it is, because being gay and being an asshole are not the same thing.

    The question is, why did youtube take this long to ban her channel?

    The person in question...

    I can't believe someone would describe her as "angel faced"!

    The mental gymnastics you guys are using to try and avoid being bald-faced hypocrites is hilarious.

    You people are trying to comparing being gay to being an asshole. I don't have to do any mental gymnastics to know that's idiotic.

    This has nothing to do with what I said. The more you try to figure out what I even mean by that question, the less stupid it seems. Regardless of good or right. One is an action, the other is a sexual orientation. It's the differance between 'how are you?' and a table.

    Private business can do WHATEVER it wants. Correct or not?
    No, that's pretty silly. You cannot have a business that shoots people. If you are asking about banning, then the differance I am asking for comes into play. You can ban people on just about any action. You cannot ban everyone based on who the happen to be.

    Do you think they could ban her because it was against their rules? Alright. What if rules were different and all gay pride channels were banned? Would you still agree?
    No, I completley support banning antagonistic patrons. I don't happen to see how a gay pride channel is antagonistic... You'd have to make up a scenario of what they actually did first.

    There are rules. Not feels.
    You are talking feels... Not me...
