But Maza isnt waiting for YouTube to take any real action because Crowder draws nearly 4 million subscribers to the site . Last week, Maza tweeted that since he began working at Vox, Crowder had made video after video criticizing Strikethrough and attacking him personally.

Since I started working at Vox, Steven Crowder has been making video after video \"debunking\" Strikethrough. Every single video has included repeated, overt attacks on my sexual orientation and ethnicity. Here's a sample: pic.twitter.com/UReCcQ2Elj

I've been called an anchor baby, a lispy queer, a Mexican, etc. These videos get millions of views on YouTube. Every time one gets posted, I wake up to a wall of homophobic/racist abuse on Instagram and Twitter.

Crowder responded by posting a new video that accused Vox of trying to ban this show . He insisted he only attacks ideas, not who Maza is. Besides, Crowder said, calling Maza a lispy queer was funny, and this is a comedy show.
