Sorry to interrupt... I have not overly vested interest in this thread or any of the sides. If any I am just a bit interested....
I was reminded of this little factoid from a Q and A youtube video from the U tuber Adam Ragusea titled: Ask Adam #7: Why aren't there more female food YouTubers.
I just sat thru 45 god damn minutes of Ask adam #7.... now inserted with an awareness that something call curoloy exists... Tho I am not 100% sure which "factoid" from that video is relevant to this thread's opening post.
From what I gathered, Adam Ragusea only suggested the reason there are fewer female food Youtubers is in two points
Point One:
While "Male" and "Female" youtubers both get abuses of varying frequency, "Female" abuses are much worst.
His wife chimed in and explained that while males abuse tends to be insults and putdowns, female abuses tend to be sexualized and scary.
(I imagine/assume she called it scary because of PEW and WMC research result suggest that Men are more likely to experience abuse as name-calling, women experience higher rates of sustained abuse involving sexual harassment, stalking and intimate partner violence, on top of name-calling.)
(PS depressing Stats... LGBTQ+ individuals experience 3 times the frequency of abuse categorised as "serious" compare to non-LGBTQ+ groups...
)
Point Two:
Is that the marginalisation or the prevention of more Female creators is to do with that audience themselves. The Youtube algorithms is a feedback loop that amplifies what the audience wants and gives more promotion to that thing.
(In other words, The reason female food YouTubers struggle to gain prominence, is because female creators have not reached the critical mass the would drive the youtube search algorithm to pay attention to them. The audience searches and would click on male creators more. this in itself creator more promotion of male creators.)
It is these two factors that it is reasonable to think that both youtube and internet as a whole is not too welcoming to female ( or other marginalised demographic) creators
I can vaguely see how it relates to this part.
I've heard tell of people being chased or bullied away from royal road, and many people from scribblehub seem to think it's an awful place full of awful people.
And of course if you're female, then you'll be given worse treatment from toxic people.
I am not sure how that led to the rest...
Is the world wrong for being wrong, or is the person wrong for expecting anything else?
Can you use better words of that sentence?
OR put your point in a clearer manner,
I don't know if this is your point but only from my limited understanding whats going on and trying to break down the logic of the thought process... with my inherent biases... I gathered
I've heard tell of people being chased or bullied away from royal road, and many people from scribblehub seem to think it's an awful place full of awful people. But that's just not true. Then why would they believe such a thing? Because that's the only part they saw of it. And of course if you're female, then you'll be given worse treatment from toxic people.
1. People don't like RR, because they think it's full of awful people.
2. But that is not true
3. It is true only in part of the community but not the entirety
4. Females will be given worse treatment compare to others
Conclusion RR is not JUST full of bad people, it is fine for the majority but will harass marginalised groups
(
@Scribbler correct? or am I misunderstanding?)
secondary point
But it's like this, or at least, this is how I view it, people kill each other in real life for no good reason. Random acts of violence are a real thing. You have to accept the inherent wrongness, or madness that the world is capable of. Saying the world is wrong for being wrong, for being what it is, well that's just silly.
Is the world wrong for being wrong, or is the person wrong for expecting anything else?
I know the world should be kinder, but some people are just too sheltered.
1. The world is bad.... with random acts of badness
2. Accept badness as the norm, and to question the norm is "silly"
3. A person should not challenge the norm
4. You wish the world was kinder, but it's not
5. People that challenge the norm of badness are people that are is too sheltered (have not learned to harden)
Compound conclusion
RR is a place good for some groups of people if you are in a group prone to harassment or discrimination you should not go there unless you are able to accept serious harassment as an ongoing norm of your experience.
@Scribbler
Is that point you are trying to make?
Or am I 100% off the mark?
What is the point? Can you re-write the OP so dummies like me can understand?
