For those who are not frequent users of YouTube or are simply unaware of this particular issue, Thunderf00t is one of the most prominent members of the informal YouTube atheist community. As a scientist, he has consistently criticized theocratic dogma, dispelling their claims with science and reason.
Not surprisingly, there has been some friction between him (and other YouTube-active atheists) and theocrats, usually of the monolatric bend. Usually, this friction has been limited to exchanges of videos and comments – which is really quite entertaining, regardless of where one falls opinion-wise: it’s like a fine boxing match, but fought with ideas and words. Ray Comfort, a prominent Christian theist, has even hosted long one-on-one debates with Thunderf00t which both of them then posted on YouTube.
What I am trying to say is that yes, there is an ongoing battling of ideas – and while tempers may rise, both sides are capable of civilized discourse.
Or, rather, most members of both sides…
…because there are people who are using the DMCA to make claims that are intended to force YouTube to shut down channels of people whose views they disagree with. This is a sort of a mini-SLAPP suit…
Which is what this video is about:
