I used to love Thunderf00t till he turned out to be a misogynistic cunt who thinks women deserve to be raped.

I will admit that at a certain point I unsubscribed from the guy's channel too, unwilling to just sit there and ignore the deluge of anti-feminist videos any longer.

I do think TJ is sexist, as well as thunderf00t. But primarily I consider them both douchebags so I don't watch them. I have a complicated relationship with Atheist celebrities of all caliber.
Also, I do not think many of the feminists they attack are extremists. Feminists who do not like transwomen and think BDSM is rape - those are the types I'd consider extreme.  RE: Maybe People Should Not Look Up To YouTube Atheist

And I have to say, not once when TJ has opened is mouth about feminists, have I as a woman, felt the misogyny oozing from him. 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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifDD3sk3ng0

I've only watched his videos where he exposed Annita Sarkisian for the dishonest, lying, fraud that she was, and I thought he was quite good. Can you post the videos where he says women deserve to be raped?

Well....she did lie to everyone, take 155000 dollars from people off of kickstarter, did biased and bogus research and at the end of it (a whole year) only produced a 25 minute video. Well that's what thunderf00t says anyway

My understanding is she has several videos out now and she plans on doing way more videos, etc because of how much she got on kickstarter.
And when I say 'way more', I mean way more than her initial goal.

Well I certainly hope she doesn't lie any more in these and that she practices better science for her research. But if she doesn't, i'm sure thunderf00t will find her out, he has a vendetta against her and for good reason

I do not think any vendetta against her is justified.
