• Who is Laci Green, and why do people hate her?
• Another post about why people hate her, in case you think it’s just me.
• Another post, in case you STILL think it’s just me, also pointing out how passive her videos are, and how actually internalised misogyny plays a big part in all her videos.
• An image of her talking down to people who have pointed out her use of cissexist terms and language.
• Another horrible video where she perpetuates the stereotype of a “Jewish nose” and then makes light of domestic abuse.
• Transcript for aforementioned video, in case she pulls that one down as well.
• Also, her pathetic apology for her Islamophobic comment.
• The transcript for the video she recently pulled down, in which she used the slur “t——y.”
• Her pathetic apology regarding that video, in which she uses the word we asked her not to use, and uses the wrong terms to apologise.

Alright, there you have it. The first link contains links to her tumblr, her website, and both of her youtube channels that I am aware of. It also contains links to her disturbing videos in which she perpetuates the friendzone myth, bashes on religion, and bashes on religious ‘friends.’

tl;dr: she’s an intolerant, cissexist, privileged little white woman who has brought NOTHING else to the table that other folk haven’t been saying first. 

Bless this post.

as a sex+ blogger, i do my best to provide a space where sex and bodies are discussed and represented in a frank and respectful manner. please, please, please call me out on things. that’s the only way to learn — engaging with others, apologizing (actually apologizing) when you harm others, and changing the discourse used. 

And John Green was defending her? uggggh

John Green was defending her because no matter how bad you are, nobody deserves a death threat like that.

I mean come on why do I even gotta say this.

I am pissed off because Laci Green, one of the most promising young content creators on YouTube, has been forced off the Internet by death threats—apparently driven by her casual use of the word “tranny” in a video she made more than three years ago. (She apologized and even took down the video.)

 Laci makes wonderful, hilarious, sex-positive videos that have been tremendously helpful to millions of people (including me). She makes people feel less alone and less ashamed. She’s wonderful, and YouTube and tumblr are very lucky to have her, and we should all be really pissed that her ability to make stuff has been compromised by threats.

Here’s the truth, although we don’t say it often: You want to know why there are so few women in the Top 100 most viewed lists on YouTube? Because women are far more likely to be stalked, threatened, and attacked on the Internet, and they are far more likely to see those attacks move from cyber-bullying to real life threats, which too often forces them to abandon their work and their audiences.

I’ve been making videoblogs for more than five years, and I have a large audience, and a few overeager fans have found out where I live over the years, and you know what they’ve done about it? They’ve left me candy. Now, to be clear, I was still very uncomfortable and freaked out by this. But they didn’t send me death threats with pictures of my apartment building the way they’ve done to Laci.

And Laci is not alone. Most of the women I’ve known from YouTube—from those with 5,000 subscribers to those with 500,000—have dealt with harassment and stalking, and it has affected their ability to create stuff.

It’s not acceptable. It’s not acceptable to respond to a transphobic comment with a threat to kill someone. It’s not acceptable to harass and stalk women because you want their attention. And it’s not acceptable to use threats and intimidation to silence women you disagree with.

YouTube and tumblr should respond aggressively to these reports, and we need stronger laws to combat this crap, because I’m tired of seeing brilliant women driven away from the Internet by trolls with nothing to contribute.

Laci Green is not always a good person, but she doesn’t deserve that shit.
