"YouTube is saying, okay, we can either appeal to everybody, the vast majority of the American public, the global public, who don't want to see corporate censorship or two percent because this guy thinks YouTube is a 'queer space.'" Contrast that with 50 percent who are conservative or right leaning." "'Queer space', that's two percent of population Earth. It has nothing to do with the fact that you're an ass-man." "'Queer space' makes up two percent of population earth, okay ass.You're an ass because you encourage the milkshaking and battery and assault of people who disagree with you. He went on to make further references to Maza's sexual orientation, before saying that YouTube appealing to the LGBT community was "corporate censorship." "This guy, Carlos Maza, talked about how YouTube was a 'queer space,'" he said. Speaking on his show Louder with Crowder, the host bemoaned comments Maza made to the Washington Post that YouTube was hypocritical for branding itself as a "queer space" while allowing Crowder to remain on the platform. While the comments on Maza’s first video don’t offer a warm reception, only time will tell if Maza will be forgiven by the YouTube community now that he gets to see life through the eyes of an independent creator.Steven Crowder criticized Carlos Maza on his show for calling YouTube a "queer space." YouTube So – what he wants is – to become “a left-wing Steven Crowder”? More likely, though, he doesn’t have anywhere else to go that pays as much and/or reaches as wide of an audience.īut Maza’s ire is about YouTube “doing damage to democracy.”Īnd he doesn’t mean – by demonetizing creators and thus stifling speech, commentary, and even comedy, either.Īs he criticizes media and propaganda, Maza wants to use “theatrical elements and lengthier videos to talk about political, social, and economic topics.” It looks like Maza intends to also direct his ire toward YouTube itself – saying it’s an “evil” platform run by “bad people.”īut Maza also claims he must use precisely that nasty platform to build his business because he “has nowhere else to go.” Maza’s videos will proceed from a progressive perspective, focusing on stuff that sells particularly well in this election year: “media, propaganda, (elections), and socially conscious topics.” You might think he’s looking to capitalize on the controversial “brand” built around his name last summer. Maza, whose show was canceled by Vox after the controversy and the blowback from the YouTube community, is returning to YouTube as an independent creator. But for those who missed him, the wait is now over. Maza then decided to “disappear” from YouTube. However, a firestorm of criticism followed in the press and among politicians ideologically opposed to Crowder, in the end making YouTube change its mind and demonetize the channel. YouTube initially agreed with Crowder, saying that while the language may have been “hurtful” – no violation of any YouTube rules had actually occurred. Maza had accused Crowder of harassment and homophobia the comedian denied it, saying he was merely engaging in “playful ribbing” of a fellow YouTuber. And his accusations against Crowder, a comedian and commentator, resulted in YouTube demonetizing Crowder’s, a number of other conservative channels – as well as causing a ripple effect across the YouTube community when YouTube’s subsequent “harassment” guidelines cast a wide-reaching net and caused many more on YouTube to suffer a loss of their livelihood. That’s because Maza was at the time a Vox employee. If you're tired of censorship, cancel culture, and the erosion of civil liberties subscribe to Reclaim The Net.Ĭarlos Maza’s claim to fame online has always and only been his clash on YouTube with Steven Crowder, which escalated into what came to be known as the “Vox Adpocalypse.”
