Combat Liberalism

Long story short, Natalie posted a tweet the other day commenting on the recent discussions about John Wayne being a racist. She basically used the opportunity to make a shitty, dismissive joke. I get what she was trying to do (basically a "water is wet, John Wayne is a Nazi" kinda thing), and I don't think she meant any harm, but it still came off as dismissive, obnoxious, and ultimately unfunny. She got some criticism from actual Native American people, and someone linked to that on her sub.

Personally, as a white person and a big fan of Natalie, I think her tweet was shitty. Obviously she doesn't deserve to be "cancelled" or anything, and I'm gonna keep watching her videos, but the criticism is fair and she should probably apologize for the tweet. She doesn't get a free pass on everything just because I like her content.

A few people who appear to making fair, good faith criticisms of Natalie are having their comments silently removed by the mods, as you can see in the link above. Furthermore, one of the mods is in the thread dismissing legitimate concerns of Native American people as "nonsense" and "faux outrage" in a shittier take than Natalie's.

As someone who's been an active user of that sub for the past 5 months or so, this really makes me wonder how many other good faith comments are getting silently removed by the mods. It's pretty disappointing to finally realize that the sub dedicated to my favorite YouTuber is run like this.
