Do you generally support the LGBT?

I fully support LGBT rights and freedoms
not that they need it here... they've already achieved pretty much all of their rights and freedoms in Canada
If I moved to the USA I'd probably spend more time talking about LGBT rights where they still fall short in states with no non-discrimination laws

Do you have any videos that you've made that you disagree with now?

Most of my videos aren't really my opinion, they're a result of a skeptical dissection of other people's opinions. I'm just presenting a skeptical perspective, not strictly opinions
There are things I say in my videos I disagree with, yes, but the Skeptic character doesn't say what I personally think or believe all the time, he presents things that make more sense than what I believe

What do you dislike the most about the right?

The right loves championing personal freedoms and are always the first to come to the defense of personal freedoms when regressives try to take them away
But so often they use their freedom of speech to complain and campaign against others who express their personal freedoms, like people who are members of special groups or people who choose not to live traditionalist lifestyles
It's one thing to want freedom, it's another to advocate that all people live the way you choose to live

How long did it take you to achieve success on YouTube? Did you use Reddit and Facebook etc to gain exposure during the beginning? Other than fantastic content, how did you do it? Kind regards

I have no idea. People kept sharing my videos.
I had a facebook account for talking to fans and other creators, but I don't think it had anything to do with my success
I didn't even know what Reddit was until I already had over 50k subs and I've yet to post on it.

What are your opinions on news shows like sourcefed or Philip DeFranco?

You do DeFranco a huge disservice by comparing him to shit like SourceFed - It's like the Buzzfeed of news. Not so much for being hamfisted social commentary, but it's just as soulless and unmotivated.
I like Philip, he's a nice and genuine guy with a fun personality
That being said, I don't watch news channels. I don't feel a need to hear commentary on news. I like to just have the information injected directly into my brain so I can move on.
For those who do like news commentary, Philip is your man.

What are your thoughts on the idea that racism can only apply to black people/PoC because they're systemically oppressed? (Basically, that you can't be racist to white people)

That's nonsense
I'm going to talk more about it in my upcoming Racism Part 4 video
Basically for this to work, the definition of racism has to change, the terms racism and oppression have to be interchangeable

Do you think there's much room for more channels like yours, Sargon's, Undoomed etc? I've considered throwing in my hat for a new channel but wonder if I'd not be adding much new to the conversation.

There is "room" for them, I suppose, but I don't know how similar my content is to Undoomed or Sargon, and I don't know if our channels are really competition to each-other
Undoomed is more into making fun of uninformed vloggers, Sargon breaks down articles and papers, I like to do systematic breakdowns of video arguments.

Are there any mainstream youtubers that you like? i.e. Smosh, Jenna Marbles, Nigahiga.

I watch the occasional Jenna Marbles video, but no, I've never enjoyed Smosh and I just learned about Nigahiga for the first time today
