Cousin (10F) was subscribed to EthannnYT. He's this British YouTuber who makes those "Americans don't understand the UK" videos, and reacts to shorts. I used to, admittedly, think he was funny, but now I realise it's another example of toxic masculinity. He's called women 'silly cows' and 'silly bitches' and makes pretty sexist comments. He's done an Indian accent in a video before, NOT FUNNY!! He does laugh at some men, admittedly, like Brent Rivera, but it seems MUCH more directed at females. He's made homophobic jokes about AIDS and also fat-shamed. Jokes about child abuse. Most alarming the video on Anna McNulty, where he joked about pedophilia. It's disgusting. Worst thing is, people think he's funny. It's normalised for men to treat women like that, and other marginalised groups. Girls at my school (I'm 17F) watch him, and they think he's funny. Should not be normalised. AT ALL. So, cousin was watching and I asked what she was watching, and she showed me. I was horrified. I sat her down and told her what toxic masculinity was. She understood then when my aunt (her mum) was making dinner, and 10F launched into a feminist speech. Aunt asked where this had come from and 10F innocently said "Oh, (my name)." Aunt nodded but after dinner told me it wad not appropriate for me to tell her that yet and as her mother she should've daughter her daughter "When she's ready" and it wasn't my job. So, AITA?
