Youtube's "#ProudToBe" campaign salt - Youtube creates campaign pandering to "LGBT", backfires dramatically

[StraightShooter]

So apparently Youtube decided to launch a campaign called "ProudToBe" pandering to LGBTQ and social justice - featuring a rainbow flag next to their website logo, along with a video and a Twitter hashtag.

While this drama seems to have just started, it's already backfired spectacularly, with the video being flooded with negative comments and dislikes (which Youtube is allegedly trying to delete), and alternative hashtags such as "#ProudToBeStraight", "ProudNotToBeAFreak", "ProudToHitDislike", etc.

Needless to say many SJWs are getting very salty over the influx of comments, and I expect to hear more from them soon.

Why do these type of videos only show attention whores of the community? LGBT does have a very normal component that just wants to live in peace...

Search me, the reality is that most people who happen to be gay don't want anything to do with "LGBT identity politics" anymore than most people who are white want the KKK claiming to 'represent their interests'.

I think it's probably because people who are so weak and lacking in any real identity or accomplishments that they decide to manufacture an identity based around their plumbing preferences, and feel the need to loudly broadcast to the world what they do with their genitals in their own bedroom out of some delusion that this makes them "special" are attention whores by default.

Oh not this shit again. This is like the fifth time this happened and I don't know what youtube is expecting.

I get a kick out of the fact that they try to find the manliest looking trans women and gay as fucking hell queer girls, to try to rub it in every ones faces that you can look like a child molester from the streets of Compton and still be a woman.

They never try to find more than one or two that actually attempt to pass, and won't pick up the conservative "dysphoria is needed" trannies like Blaire. Instead, they pick the dumbest liberal ones because the left is fucking stupid and will shill anything, while whining about their loans or being broke.

Ahh YouTube. Never change.

You'd think they'd learned from last year . Never change YouTube the stupidity is so funny to watch implode

Because YouTube itself feeds off of attention whores and hopes that's the only thing people will want to see.

Come to think of it, YouTube itself should be considered one giant attention whore corporation.

Damn shitlords left some brown out of that flag.

What did Youtube think was going to happen? It's not like every single Social Justice campaign in 2017 has blown up in the faces of the people who started them. From r/2007scape to the #MoreThanARefugee campaign they launched a few months ago, people are just tired of this crap.

It's not even that all of the people criticizing these campaigns are necessarily against they're causes. They're just tired of getting fucked in the ass by a big politics dick everywhere they go online. Just give it a rest already.

The fact that the most popular content on Youtube includes PewDiePie videos, LPs of Minecraft, or grown men sperging over video games and comic book characters tells you pretty much the type of demographic it's aimed at.

Thank God for the reactions to this faggotry

The internet is dumb.

Like any SJW says, "Those aren't real people. They're just homophobic."

Google/youtube is too big to fail. They can push whatever garbage they want, and it won't change anything.

Smaller fish like Vidme wouldn't be able to pull this off without damaging their business

 

[Un Platano]

The troons and loons that they picked to show in the video are certainly laughable, but the comments section of that video is fucking shit. It reads as if every single person there is either a /pol/ack or one of the people who comment on Chris's livestreams.

Because they're the ones who gladly jumped at the opportunity

 

[José Mourinho]

The pure irony of all of this is that this is after the #MoreThanARefugee campaign.

i hope youtube is full of dumbasses who take the negative reactions as " we sure have a lot of muslim/gay hating nazis here" and they start making nazi propaganda to appeal to what they think is their audience

 

[TiggerNits]

Nothing will make neo-nazi and white nationalist bullshit seem well founded like massive media corporations shilling progressive values straight down the throats of middle americans who aren't comfortable with it. I highly doubt that Youtube's two latest hashtag campaigns have won either issue any supporters, but it's sure given a lot of momentum to their detractors by making the people fighting it look like the cool counter culture and resistance.
