The recent escalation by this group of YouTubers to target Harry and Meghan offline, and go on a targeted harassment tour, is a matter of great concern and seriousness.

YouTube needs to start enforcing its policies on targeted harassment and stop allowing people like this to use its platform to monetize harassment.

I told Newswweek this recent incident targeting Harry and Meghan underscores the worrisome trend of bad actors weaponizing YouTube to target individuals and the disturbing reality that YouTube is turning a blind eye to targeted harassment.

Now that there is backlash, Andy Signore is claiming it was a "joke." I guess the others didn't get the memo. It wasn't a joke.

Actually laughed out loud at this fun word play so thank you and right-on for the concept. It could be a viral meme, but first you might want to consider changing the word "douchebag" to something disgusting and without gender.

Sorry, I had actually never considered the literal meaning of the word (not an Englidh speaking native), but I get the point. I didn't coin it but picked it up somewhere, so feel free to make your own edits 😄

I’ve struggled with this, mostly because I like the word “douchebag”. I am pro-female and pretty sensitive to gendered insults. So a douchebag is an item/process like an enema, not a body part. I guess to be safest we need to stick to things used for anyone’s nether regions such as “ass-wipe”.

I like ass-wipe!

As an aside: an enema is kinda icky as nobody likes to mess with shit. But I don't understand how a cleansing process of woman parts is disgusting. The word "douchebag" in and of itself does roll off the tongue nicely, though.

Agreed, the gendered insult is rather counterproductive, even though the wordplay is excellent. I actually had a great FB thread where I asked for non-gendered alternatives to "douchebag" ... maybe jackwagon? Or dingus, for the "ding" in Schrodinger? There are plenty. See for yourself!
