So you looked at a bunch of titles, didn't watch the videos, and then decided what the videos were about?

Is this how you go about understanding the world around you?

If the videos that I listed are about something other than the title I would be interested to hear it. I sure as hell am not going to listen to a rapist talk about 9/11 and vaccines to verify it.
This seems like a pretty uncurious point of view to post on a forum thats all about intellectual curiousity. What discussion can there be if you intentionally put blinders on like this?
well aren't you adorable?
I don't get it. Do you disagree? How many of your textbooks could have been written by drunken adulterers or abusers?

I don't know that what brand says is right or wrong, and I'd understand the "oh dear, of course I wouldn't listen to that kind of riffraff" performance if you had HR or a boss to worry about, but who thinks that way when they have the freedom not to?

Who thinks what way? Who thinks, "This fucking jackass who's been spouting nonsense for years is now being accused of rape. A guy who has a rumble channel... I should check out that guys sketchy and culty content! FREEEEDDOOOOOOOOOOM!"

I have the freedom to poison myself with household cleaners every damn day, but I don't. Does that make me a 'sheeple'?

Your preferences are your prerogative. My point was in response to mvdtnz weighing in on something while being explicitly ignorant on the subject.

Its like going to a book club meeting, telling everyone that you obviously didn't read the book because you're not some unwashed heathen, and then proceeding to confidently give your analysis based on what you half heard someone on the train say about chapter 2.
