IDK why Rebecca Watson isn't more popular, she invented elevator doors, ended atheism, and does science, but somehow only has 10k more subs than what see had on september 11th, 2001.

    She was actually a pretty big channel for the 2000s, and ended up losing a chunk of her audience because the new atheism community didn't like hearing that men can sometimes make women feel uncomfortable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca_Watson#%22Elevatorgate%22

    Edit: fucking hate Dawkins so fucking much. Even reading a short passage from him is so grating.

      The entire "new-atheist / skeptic" movement was such a runny, drizzling shit. Most of those worms are reactionaries now (nevermind the ones that already were), and some even call themselves "cultural Christians" lol.

      Yeah, she’s talked about the sexism in the “sceptic” community. It’s so sad and infuriating.
