He is referring to the guy who made the video who didn't know Leo was talking about SD.

   It could have been presented differently and a little bit more fair, done with more charity and good faith, maybe tried to steel man some of Leo's points. At least present in a more objeftive take, like a CNN reporter or something. But no, the video was a bit biased against Leo, being uncharitable and bad faith, painting Leo as cult leader running a death cult. At least he had the decency to not go hard with the triangle symbol and gave some benefit of the doubt.

   The comment section reinforced my misanthropic view of humanity again. Can we all just stop behaving like aninals and slow down, and think a bit more actively and attentively?

 

If Turkey Tom wants to focus on merely the parts of Actualized.org that he's concerned about, I don't consider that unreasonable.

@ZenAlex That’s not really what he did. He twisted things to fit his frame. Then at the end was like “Yeah, it’s not really a cult and people seem to leave mostly positive comments and the forum is very active” like what?

I'm glad he was able to self-reflect and at least take the death part out I guess

You think that is what happened? It's probably some ToS stuff.

His video was at like 800k views with the word "death" in the title. So he already siphoned all the views his videos would normally get without any trouble. I don't see why he would make the change so late if it is ToS. If it is cause of ToS, I don't think the video would get taken down for using that word. At most, it might prevent the video getting promoted in the algorithm or something. There are long-standing videos with many views that use the word "death". 

Then again, it is odd that he would change the previous title. But, I think his video was much more charitable than the other Leo hit-pieces. I don't find it hard to imagine that he would do it. I think he also had some previous controversy regarding slandering people, so it makes sense that he would be cognizant of such things.

   You're right, I, as the good Samaritan I am, reported the video.

   You can thank me for that later.

   I don't like the person, but it's not nice name calling the person. Turkey Tom??? More like Tom and Jerry!?

   Then again, in some of my rap posts, I do say whacky corny stuff all the time?
