Maybe People Should Not Look Up To YouTube Atheist

Same here. Thunderf00t has been getting annoying in that his channel is making a shift from being mosty about science to mostly about anti-feminism (but his vids are hardly saying women deserve to be raped), but I look at TJ's videos; of his last 100 videos, I counted only 7 videos on feminism. That's not a lot of videos on his part; only 7 percent of all his videos, which I think is a pretty small percentage. More telling is that his two most recent ones (talking about rape) have been much calmer and more reasonable than his usual excited rants. Should TJ not be allowed to express his opinion about feminism? Is it only permissible to talk about feminism if you agree with them?

I'll be the first to admit, there's a lot of good in feminism, but there's also been a lot of bad behavior in justified in the name of feminism. You get Valerie Solanas writing the SCUM manifesto and subsequentially shooting Andy Warhol. You get Cathy Brennan and a lot of other feminists acting like huge jerks towards transgendered people, sometimes even outing them to employers, schools, families and friends. And whenever someone wants to point them out or talk about them or use them as a warning that, hey, not everything done in the name of feminism is strictly speaking benevolent, our critique is dismissed and we're usually labled as a misogynist.

I could go on for days about this topic, I really could, but this video goes into it better than I could. Enjoy.
