Partial Transcript:

Let us begin with the terrifying news that internet vigilante Laci Green has been tasked with hosting MTV's new YouTube channel 'braless'. The unholy alliance of Feminist propaganda and corporate American youth culture is certain to be absolutely, positively.

And evil. Very, very evil.

Speaking of Laci 'I don't have rape fantasies, honest' Green, several weeks ago she and her motley crew of Feminist Justice warriors succesfully destroyed the reputation of YouTube fuck-knuckle, Sam Pepper, who we saw at the beginning of this video brilliantly trick a so-called Insta-whore. Here's how it went down.

Sam Pepper may well be a complete and utter tool. His videos, however, are mostly just hidden camera pranks. If the women in question were truly offended by his actions, they could have reported him to the authorities. None did. Instead, most of them signed release forms giving consent for the footage to be shown on the understanding that it was merely a practical joke.

Moreover, who are you to decide what is and is not ok to be shown on YouTube? There are moderators, and a set of legal terms enforced by Google, the owners of YouTube, which determine such things. But please, do continue.

The type of amazing that leaves one without hope for humanity. I am, thanks to you, amazingly cynical. Or cynically amazing. Hmmm....

Odd, given that searching 'Ass Grab Prank' on YouTube returns a whole host of results, many with tens of thousands of views or more. Indeed, two from the first dozen caught my attention, for they feature the exact same three-armed trick employed by Sam Pepper. Both are much older; both have garnered nearly half a million views respectively. And still, they have not been taken down. Perhaps YouTube removed Sam Pepper's video not because it violated their terms of use, but rather, media pressure dictated that it would be far simpler for them to just delete the content.

If you truly believe that, then the following will make for disturbing viewing.

Interestingly, you don't appear to be too bothered by that. Don't mind me though, do continue.

For the sake of balance, allow me to show this clip from a popular female YouTuber.

For the record, I do not have the slightest problem with any of these videos. I simply wished to demonstrate the hyprocrisy of Laci and her Feminist Justice Warriors.

The pranksters targeted by Laci and her mob are exclusively male. She is either conveniently unaware of, or turning a blind eye to identical pranks carried out by women.

You are not the police. You are not the arbiter of internet content.
