Matt Walsh’s transphobia finally has consequences as YouTube takes action against him

Everyone is aware of Matt Walsh’s notorious conservative views which over, many years have incurred the wrath of liberal groups as well as the members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Recently, the right-wing commentator has received massive backlash for his anti-woke comments which blatantly advocate against transgender identity and rights, causing massive furors among people, especially on social media.

Of course, the action had some dire consequences for Walsh as his Twitter account was reportedly hacked on Tuesday and the hacked account trolled him as a ‘theocratic fascist’ as well as attacked his fellow conservative commentators like Ben Shapiro.

The user operating the hacked account — going by the name Doomed — went so far as to say, “My Twitter Isn’t Hacked, This Is Just The Real Me Coming Out.” Even though Walsh took action immediately, labeling the entire incident as harassment against him and his family, another piece of bad news awaited the anti-trans commentator.

This time, he was targeted by YouTube, which threatened to ban his show if he doesn’t respect transgender identity, or if he ever speaks against the chosen pronouns of transgender people. The words were uttered by Walsh himself, who expressed his disappointment and disdain against this ‘unexpected’ action by YouTube.

I’m not going to forfeit my integrity for the sake of YouTube ad revenue. But I’m also not going to go off to the hinterlands somewhere and languish in obscurity. We’re going to make the show bigger and more accessible on even more platforms. That’s how we’re responding.

In his tweet, he mentions his readiness to sever all forms of cooperation with YouTube and collaborate with Daily Wire to produce his show which can then be viewed by the audience and his fans free of cost.

“As I announced during my speech tonight, YouTube has demonetized my show and threatened to ban us if we don’t respect the pronouns of trans people. I’d rather take my show off YouTube than cooperate with that nonsense. So I am. Starting Monday you can find my show free for everyone on Daily Wire. We’ll post it here to Twitter too. And on every other platform where you get your podcasts.”

He goes on tweeting,

“I’m not going to forfeit my integrity for the sake of YouTube ad revenue. But I’m also not going to go off to the hinterlands somewhere and languish in obscurity. We’re going to make the show bigger and more accessible on even more platforms. That’s how we’re responding.”

Of course, the tweets were met with customary agreements to Walsh’s take on the matter. Here’s what the the Twitteratis had to say on the matter,

That’s a great response. One’s ability to make a living can never depend on one company. Thank God in America we still have some degree of Capitalism and when one company tries to dominate another will spring up as we see in EM @elonmusk buying Twitter and Rumble growing fast!

I was banned from YouTube permanently after 16 years for writing songs like this:https://t.co/srUwNf26Jq

The issue of ‘intolerance’ was put forward.

Matt, I’m so sorry that they have done this to you. It only shows how effective you have been in protecting women & children. “What is a Woman?” was excellent! Thank you.

There was some nod to his past questionable works.

Thank you for not being a coward !

A pat on the back for his bravery to stand by his transphobic comments against all odds.

And of course, there were some anti-Walsh and pro-YouTube responses,

Your integrity? It’s against your integrity to have the most basic level of respect and empathy for others?

By moving your show you are forfeiting your integrity.
When you called for ebliteration of trans people you forfeited your integrity.
As far as I’m concerned you leaving YouTube is a plus for YouTube.
You are proving everything everyone says about you.
Well done.

YouTube or not, Matt Walsh’s transphobic comments need to be identified and criticized on every platform.
