have made you this angry. I didn't see a lot of sexism in it, or
people saying it was okay, all I saw was people cracking jokes about
it. If thats all it takes to make you that angry, I'm really sorry
about that. But I think you're reading WAY too much into it--including
reading stuff into it that is not even there, and taking it WAY too
seriously. Are there real problems with sexism in this world? Yup.
There are also problems with about a million other things too. If I
spent my time making videos about all the things that made me angry
every day I wouldn't have much time for anything else. I do what I can
do about the things I can do something about but that's it.
Second this list is not the "Vloggesphere" just a small part of it. A
very small part of it. So I don't think it's fair of you to claim that
the entire vloggesphere is a group "with that kind of problem." Guess
what? If you think this is bad, wait till it goes really mainstream
and the racists, and the homophobes and all the other extremists in
the world get a hold of it. But that's the world we live in isn't it?
Why did you think that the "vloggesphere" would be any different?
Of course I fully understand that based on how you've interpreted the
messages in the thread in question that you will probably completely
misinterpret everything I just said but I'll take that chance I guess.
Oh and I'm sorry to have committed the sin of being born a white man.
It was a total accident I swear.
