Incorrect. If she changes her mind but fails to tell the male with whom she *initiated* sex, he would not be a rapist.

Are you downplaying the significance of public harassment? Of people creating a hostile environment?
The comments so far are just so bizarre. If this actually happened like the plaintiff purports in the lawsuit, then the situation is fucked up and needs to be addressed. You have a culture where someone can shout an accusation on twitter and fuck up your life just like that. And even after being found innocent…
Hmm... let’s see who has a comprehension problem...
You: “You seem to be taking for granted that this is censorship when there is lots of room for disagreement on that - not the least of which is that the videos were not removed at all, only demonetized.”
Me: “Of course it’s censorship.” (Long definition snipped)
You:…
Either someone found out how to abuse the system and is trolling the entirety of Youtube, or TV just found a way to kill Youtube.
Either way, Youtube is never going to be the same. Especially when you have TotalBiscuit of all people on the side of advertisers considering the nature of his content.
You’re logic would be sound if the rules worked the same for everyone on YouTube but when Philip DeFranco videos are getting flagged because he talks about something like the Brock Turner case and CNN videos with the exact same subject matter are still allowed to be monetized that’s a problem. I can think of dozens of…
Anything you can convince someone or someone’s to pay you to do to the point where you can support yourself is an “actual job”. Don’t be an asshole. For the record, producing quality video content on a daily, or even weekly basis is a massive amount of work that requires the creator to wear many hats at once. It’s not…
I can understand that using natural disasters and other bad shit for the sake of monetization sounds scummy, BUT THAT’S WHAT THE CURRENT NEWS MEDIA DOES ON A DAILY BASIS. Don't you love double standards?!
I am guessing you don’t understand fair use. Way to be part of the problem!
Looks like YouTube is taking another step towards supporting advertisers while turning their backs on the content creators that bring people to the site. This isn’t new territory, the people making gun related content have been dealing with YouTube trying to force them off the site for a while now and I’m sure they’ve…
Nice shot at dehumanizing them bub. They’re people, not ‘people’.
Wasn’t the blandness of TV, caused by apealing to advertissers, which brought people to Youtube in the first place?
The debate has been raging for several years now on whether private companies exercising their right to control how you use their website can really be called censorship.
The problem is it’s not just some misunderstanding. Huge YouTubers are being demonetized and that’s a problem for many of them when that is their primary source of income. Youtube is outright choosing to demonetize anything that is remotely controversial, includes strong language, or has tags they don’t approve of,…
You seem to be taking for granted that this is censorship when there is lots of room for disagreement on that
The ability to censor content is not exclusive to governments. The act of monitoring and removing or penalizing content is censorship, and that is what YouTube appears to be doing by removing the ability to earn money based on the content of videos. Don’t get your knickers in a twist over the use of a word when you’re…
What? No these people will get production jobs, marketing jobs, and PR jobs. You’ll shovel garbage into your mouth because these people made a commercial that appealed to you.
Do you also look back fondly at the local vs long distance charges, calling cards, sky-high international rates, having an ungodly-long curled phone cord that invariably would get twisted and be utterly unusable, having the phone in a central location so that you had zero privacy, getting interrupted by someone else…
I don't see how it's a useful option for anyone. Your rate (with a built-in subsidy) stays the same and the payment for the device goes on top of that so you're essentially paying for your phone twice. If you want to buy full retail to avoid a contract or keep your unlimited data then either pay for it upfront or if…
