    Hmm, yeah I'm not really sure what's going on there. I would certainly like to see Fantano's video unedited with a little more context behind it. It doesn't really seem in line with anything I've heard him say in the past, though he often says things he doesn't agree with a heavy amount of sarcasm. Kind of feels like what's happening here, but I can't speak for him.

    I will say that I've seen him review music that has pro-social justice themes, some from the perspective of women, where he expresses support for those movements whether or not he likes the music itself. For example, in the video featured in this post he's wearing a Lingua Ignota shirt. He gave her album Sinner Get Ready, which, among other things, is about her confronting trauma from past abuse, a 10/10.

      This wasn't edited out of context, he submitted these clips for the compilation

        From what others are saying, there's still important context missing. For example, I watched the video another user posted where he addresses the situation, which leads me to believe he didn't understand the context in which the clips would be used. Though I think these clips are still edited down from a larger video.
