This video is fairly old, and they have changed their beliefs over the years. I agree that the way they handled the story in this situation is anger-inducing at first, because they laughed about the situation. If you watch further in, they do say that it was wrong for the woman to rape the man. It seems like the kind of laughter that happens when you have never really considered the possibility that something could happen, which in this case is male rape.

At least they accepted the possibility and called it rape, which people still have trouble with 4 years later. If you wanted to post a TYT video, why didn't you do one that is more recent, where a baby born with both sets of genitals had the male set removed.

I don't always agree with TYT, but I don't understand why people keep digging up old videos to smear them with. If you don't like an opinion of they hold, well then talk about that opinion. Calling them misandric, even if it is true, doesn't actually say what you dislike. It is the same kind of passive-aggressive nonsense that we see with how people use the word misogyny.

It gets people riled up without actually having to say what you personally are angry about, hoping that everyone will just fill in the blanks with their own anger. Then you can get the hivemind to do the dirty work for you. And if you are ever challenged, you can just sit back like so many feminists and say, "I didn't mean that. It's not my fault that they interpreted what I said to mean something that I did not outrightly say ^{but I totally led them toward, hahaha}."

I was a bit quick to post (I would rather admit that I was wrong and get downvoted, than not to admit it here. Go ahead and hit that down arrow, you know you want to.). After reading some of your comment history, I realized that you were not hating TYT just for the sake of hating it, like I had assumed from your title. I agree with your reply here. My problem was the title, which I ironically forgot to mention the problem had after ranting about people not mentioning the actual problems they have with things.

As for the double standards, there have many times where one of them openly admits that they have a double standard. Agree or disagree, at least they recognize that there may be a problem. As for being forgiving of the show, I actually rarely watch it anymore because of other problems that I have with it. That, and I kinda grew out of it.
