    I'm not, I just find it amusing that someone thinks it's a logically sound position to hold the view of "it's ok to squelch someone's views if I disagree with them".

    Company named Tonertube bans Blue because some of his videos are breaking the rules. Orange comes in and argues that Blue and Red are different colors, therefore one deserves to be banned and banning of the other one is a discrimination.

    I think we're clear on this one. What I'm wondering is if you're Yellow, or Orange.

    No. If a gay pride youtuber is being an asshole they should also be banned.

    This analogy is all kinds of retarded. Want to try again with something less idiotic or are you going to stick with this as your final answer? The fact that you can't see the difference between being gay and being an asshole is rather disturbing as well.

    Well, you can, but that's called hypocrisy.
    Because by definition, evidence of being a racist is antagonizing to patrons. Racists are not banned, such as in this case, until their videos are antagonizing other patrons. There is no hypocrisy, unless you think being racist and gay are the same. But, in that case, someone saying they like apples is a hypocrite because the drive a car.

    Ironically enouph, by definition, conclusive evidence of you being gay, would also get you banned in YouTube.

    I mean I had to go all down to that kind of discussion to get closer to you and you say it's idiotic? Way to insult yourself.

    lol

    Whatever makes you feel better. I'm not the one that's having problem seeing the difference between a chosen behavior(being an asshole) and an unchangeable characteristic.

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.
    Are making an argument that you are to tolerate people who call you an asshole? If they think you are an asshole, then you have to convince them you are not an asshole before you can tolerate them. Otherwise, you are tolerating them, by succumbing, not negotiating, debating or even conversing. Being complacent is not tolerance...

    I disagree with people that call me an asshole, but I do not doubt their right to call me an asshole, if neither of us are allowed to criticize each other then we both lose.

    Yep, they ban plenty of assholes from all political ideologies. We just only hear about the contrastive ones because they're a bunch of babies.

    So about 500 hours of video is uploaded every minute and for some reason you think one person who isn't banned negates the many that are?

    So ludicrous that I can't take it seriously.
    I don't think it really depends on gender. But yes, "edgelady" sounds about right!

    You indiscriminately think everyone is racist for supporting free speech. Maybe her beef is based on stereotypes and not color. Racism is racism; trivializing and excusing "cracker" makes you the worst type of sjw, the racist type.

    She got banned because of publicity. Which Anita has plenty of.

    Lol no. Supporting her racist beliefs is racist. And Torgent didn't excuse the word "cracker"....

    It's kind of like this forum in other words. Mods hand out infractions, but you only hear crying about it from those with a persecution complex. Youtube bans a fuckton of controversial videos, but you only hear about the conservative ones because they love to make a big deal about "muh rights"
    2014 Gamergate: "If you want games without hyper sexualized female characters and representation, then learn to code!"
    2023: "What's with all these massively successful games with ugly (realistic) women? How could this have happened?!"

    Failing to read and understand the words and concepts makes you as dumb as the girl who no longer has a youtube channel. I don't think free speech supporters are racist. I think you and your lot complaining about her being banned then directly pointing to a black person and saying "Why aren't they banned? They said cracker!" is ignorant. She wasn't banned for saying the N word, she was banned for constant hate speech. There's a difference. But I don't expect you to see that. I never excused the word cracker, first of all. And second of all, cracker doesn't really carry much meaning behind it. It's a meaningless racial term. If you want to be offended by it, go ahead, but it means nothing.The N word on the other hand does carry some serious negative connotations, but even then is just a word. I don't believe in being offended by words, but if someone wants to be, that's on them.
