Implications about Gender in a Popular Youtube video.
In the infamous Youtube video "Unforgiveable," a young male is shown rambling and babbling completely random things, some of which are extremely violent and vulgar towards women in general. His comments demoralize women and portray females as inferior to men and ultimately disrespects them to an unacceptable extent. The video contains negative undertones and ideas such as women should be submissive to men, act a certain way, be indifferent when subject to disrespectful comments, etc. Though it seems the video was meant for humorous purposes (which is visible because the guy can't keep from laughing), the type of humor in it is not exactly what many women would appreciate. "Unforgiveable" has unfortunately been viewed over 12 million times and continues to be circulated amongst adults as well as teenagers and children, whom I believe should not be able to access it so easily.
