I have this crazy optimistic belief that through science, understanding, and education; humanity will overcome it's limitations, reach the stars, and not fall extinct due to overpopulation, hatred, and scarcity.

I read a lot of parenting and I was also an active volunteer for DV orgs when I was younger so this is a huge concern of mine. I read that teaching your children physical boundaries right away is very important. Do not make your child hug somebody if they don't want to. Do not make your child smile at somebody if they…

SEX ED SHOULD EXPLAIN HOW TWILIGHT IS AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP

I had a history professor who started off the semester with a similar thought. By constantly trying to compare shit to the Holocaust and shitty people to Hitler, we are completely downplaying the significance and horror of those events. He told us he wouldn't tolerate it in class, and that it was unacceptable to make…

Gay person checking in. With you 110% of the way. Fuck that shit.

They were always like this. Movies and pop culture romanticized these guys when they were ALWAYS creepy.

I am absolutely floored that people have the gall to do shit like this.

People comparing their own personal tragedies to the Holocaust is my own personal 9/11.

This. I tried showing this story to my brother and friend who does YouTube parodies, and they both do not understand why Sam Pepper is getting so much hate. They honestly think because it was a prank people shouldn't worry about it . horrible -__-

Yup. Got a mass, systemic genocide of specific ethnic groups or other vulnerable citizen classes? Congratulations! Go right ahead and break out those Holocaust comparisons! Compare away!

I just read the whole thing. Everytime I thought it couldn't get worse, it did. I was going to respond about specific awful points, but there are just too many of them (although "it's their fault for staying with me" is probably the worst).

The problem with Youtube is that it's biggest strength, it's draw, is also it's biggest problem: Anyone can become a "celebrity" but that literally means anyone. Even pedophiles. And there's no way of knowing.

Don't be fooled. Don't be fooled into thinking that she believes that the removal of embryos is as bad as killing a human being. What she really means is that the killing of Jews is as serious as killing a 5-week embryo. TRUST me. That's how much she cares about the killing of Jews, Roma and gay people. Very little.

I was actually coming to comment that the Green brothers are a great example of how to be a good feminist and ally on the inter webs. I often see them mentioned as they are in this article as "former associates" but I don't think it gets to the time and effort they put in to fight this sort of thing.

Chanel sending a pretty edgy message this season

I think part of the problem is that impressionable young girls see these guys vlogging their daily lives, sometimes with female friends around and just assume the guys are exactly as they portray themselves in their videos - safe. On every 'Zoella/Alfie' video there will be dozens of comments from girls asking if…

Also there is a American youtuber called Orison who sleeps and dates underage girls and many have accused him of rape , i am so annoyed that hardly anyone has called him out and he is still making videos (he has over a million subscribers and he recently wore blackface). At least Jason, Sam etc have been cut off from…

Throughout all of this, Laci Green has been the greatest. She has some other YouTubers to steer clear of, too.

I think the overlap between people who found his groping video funny and people who would be likely to rape would be less a Venn diagram and more like a solid circle.
