You miss the main issue, actually the only one: the demonetizing of his videos while they are still being played, and the government going after his other income before he's been charged, allowed to face his accusers, and been subsequently convicted of anything, let alone charged. That's wrong, no matter who it's done to. Whether your arguments are right or wrong, they miss the mark. Maybe you felt the same way about Kevin Spacey, and still do even after his acquittal on all charges?

Ah, the classic Red Herring! "This isn't about the rapes and sexual assaults, it's about him being demonetised... THAT'S the story here, not the rapes..."

Well, first of all, two things can be true at the same time. But without even needing to acknowledge that, there's a problem with everything you just said:

The excuses I've debunked here were all presented by his sycophantic fanbors *before* YouTube demonetised him.

Your second problem is that you don't know what you're talking about. The Government didn't do anything - Caroline Dinenage MP is not in the Government, has no governmental powers to censor or demonetise. This has all been reported by Silkie Carlo - the Director of Big Brother Watch.

(Also, as for Spacey... there's a classic case of someone who most probably was guilty but the possibility of proving it in a court of law is nigh on impossible. However, knowing many people who worked with him at The Old Vic and The Bridge Project, I wasn't the least bit surprised when the stories of his behaviour came out, as I'd heard it all before)
