Vox writer Carlos Maza on Thursday pressured YouTube to ban conservative commentator Steven Crowder for making fun of him — which he said was a form of “harassment and bullying.”
Maza, who goes by the handle “GayWonk” and smears Tucker Carlson as a “white supremacist” in his Twitter bio, shared a Media Matters-style compilation of Crowder making “repeated, overt attacks” on his “sexual orientation and ethnicity.”
(Maza used to work for the smear merchants at Media Matters himself.)
So, I have pretty thick skin when it comes to online harassment, but something has been really bothering me.

Since I started working at Vox, Steven Crowder has been making video after video “debunking” Strikethrough. Every single video has included repeated, overt attacks on my sexual orientation and ethnicity. Here’s a sample: pic.twitter.com/UReCcQ2Elj

I’ve been called an anchor baby, a lispy queer, a Mexican, etc. These videos get millions of views on YouTube. Every time one gets posted, I wake up to a wall of homophobic/racist abuse on Instagram and Twitter.

Crowder responds to many of Maza’s videos to debunk them and make fun of him, so Maza is now trying to get him deplatformed by acting like a poor, widdle, oppressed victim — even though he works for a billion dollar megacorporation which receives funding from multi-billion dollar megacorporation NBC Universal and has YouTube’s algorithms completely rigged in his favor).
You can watch Maza, aka GayWonk, joking with his friend about his homosexuality and “lisp” just as Crowder did in this video Maza shared to his own Twitter (NFSW).
These videos makes me a target of ridiculous harassment, and it makes life sort of miserable. I waste a lot of time blocking abusive Crowder fanboys, and this shit derails your mental health.

(Note, he shared a bunch of people’s private phone numbers while complaining about being doxed.)
This has been going on for years, and I’ve tried to flag this shit on several occasions. But YouTube is never going to actually enforce its policies. Because Crowder has 3 million YouTube subscribers, and enforcing their rules would get them accused on anti-conservative bias.

My family sees this shit. I’ve had to explain to my much younger sister what the fuck a Steven Crowder is, and ask my siblings not to respond. Its exhausting. I wish @YouTube gave enough of a shit to stop its platform from becoming a fucking playground for assholes.

Fact check: false. Maza’s content is lazy garbage regurgitating prog-globalist talking points for a pat on the head and a paycheck from his prog-globalist overlords.
Anyway, if you want to help, I guess you can go to this dude’s videos and flag them? But @YouTube isn’t going to do anything, because YouTube does not give a fuck about queer creators. It cares about “engagement,” and homophobic/racist harassment is VERY “engaging.”
