It seems to me that a lot of people are frequenting these anti-SJW Youtube channels and looking for something to get riled up about. They're letting someone else tell them what they should care about, instead of figuring out for themselves what they think about each specific situation that they encounter.
Oh my god, it's Anita FRAUDkeesian!!! That's that thing I'm supposed to hate all the time for any reason whatsoever!!! Dislike Dislike. Thumbs down!
and I shit you not, just the mere mention of words like "gender", "trans", or "women" in a video title, or a guest speaker who just happens to be a woman with brightly colored hair or a nose ring or whatever is practically guaranteed to drop the dislike/like ratio down to 1/3 or even 1/2 on some channels, especially if it's on a popular channel where social issues are not always the focal point. I've seen this happen so many times, usually within minutes of the video being uploaded before anyone would have had time to watch the whole thing, and some will even brag that they didn't actually watch the video at all. Just skim through some of the TED talks on Youtube, and you'll be sure to run across some examples of this fairly recent phenomenon.
This Gamergate/SJW/Fem3.0 backlash bandwagon is just as obnoxious to me as the extreme examples that they cherrypick to make their points.
I am still subbed to some vocal anti-SJWs right now, Dave Rubin, Blaire White, and Jeff Holiday. I'm also subbed to some of the pro-identity politics people that they've called out in their vids, like Ashley Mardell and Milo ("gender is a performance") Stewart. But if I see someone making several videos a month criticizing the exact same person for the same thing again and again, it's time for me to unsub.

If we came from dust, then why is there still dust?
