    According to the article, the videos feature nudity and possibly sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is unfortunately a fact of life, and it’s probably better that children recognise it, and see it condemned in the media they watch, than not know what it is at all. And you would have to be a puritan to think that children seeing naked people is somehow so terrible.

      But their channels for children… not just random channels. There is a difference.

      If you bothered reading the very short article, it would be very clear that people are deliberately getting children subscribers than replacing the flow of new content with attempts to brainwash them or expose them to obscenity.

        It’s not even that, it’s to shock them so they keep engaging with the channel, telling their friends, etc. which increases ad impressions until they are caught.

        Then they create a new channel and start again.

        This is Elsagate 2 but with more nefarious tactics.

      Imagine arguing that it’s actually good for kids to watch women being harassed. Peak incel.

      edit: Dude is literally a “race realist”. lol smh.

          Maybe they realize race is not a biological term but rather a racist term. It’s a way to distinguish us from them because we are darker or are shorter or taller than the standard sized/colored/shaped group.

          Race does not equal species. We are all one single species, the homosapiens.

            We need a term to distinguish people with different skin tones as they are treated differently. You can call it race or skin color, it doesn’t really matter, it’s just a semantic argument.

              Like he was probably skin tone 25. We can divide brown into the standard 8-bit 256 shades and just use that. Or RGB? Look, the point is that Asians are not all from Asia which is a continent, and certainly they are not yellow. The Simpsons are yellow. Mexicans, Hispanic, etc are not brown people from Mexico. We’re trying to assign a location of birth to be a life long declaration of allegiance or a skin color that is not actual or precise. I’m first gen American, my kids are American but my wife and I were born on opposite sides of the planet. The indigenous Americans themselves came from elsewhere as written in their prehispanic history. The Spanish are not white colors either and so the mixed people who came later are not actually from America either, and neither the Anglosaxons AKA whites, AKA blonde etc. You can’t use those ways to describe people because it’s not biological. I personally know all sorts of mixed migrants and natural born US citizens and there’s no way one could use these terms to describe people in a way that people want to be described as or even in a way that is remotely accurate. And ofcourse is there’s only 5 different types of people, then there’s no American melting pot. Ofcourse my views here are from the point of view of a migrant so I know perfectly well that American is unique. If you ever travel anywhere else, you’ll immediately notice that everyone there has similar features and skin tones with very little variation. So either they are way behind us, or they melt variation so quick that we never see it. But my money is on the US being the most advanced melting pot. That’s pretty clear in Mexico, Korea, Netherlands, Philippines, Japan, China, and several other places I’ve visited. Mexico and Philippines for example are great examples of almost complete melting into mixed people from different places. Not that it’s a good thing there, indigenous people almost disappeared due to war and disease.

              It’s complicated.
