Influencer’s vile video trolling LGBTQ+ people at Pride is being monetised on YouTube

A YouTube video showing a content creator attending Pride in London and mocking LGBTQ+ people is still online and making money more than a week after being posted.

J2hundred posted the video on Tuesday 8 July. It sees him and a friend attending Pride in London and trolling numerous LGBTQ+ people. At the time of writing the video has 91,000 views on YouTube.

Within the first minute of the video J2hundred is recorded questioning people’s genders, making crude and homophobic remarks and purposefully replacing LGBTQ+ with “LGTV”.

The YouTube video follows another by J2hundred from the end of June when he attended a furry convention and appeared to conduct similar behaviour. That video has been taken down by YouTube.

There’s a significant LGBTQ+ presence in the furry community. Many create their own plush animal ‘fursonas’ and interact with others in the fandom through these avatars, both in-person through badges or costumes at conventions and online through artistic renditions or forum handles.

“F*** the Furries in the comments,” J2hundred encourages his followers in the newer video titled “Trolling Gay Pride in London!.” J2hundred also identifies himself as a “troll” in the video, saying he’s happy for others to identify as “a fridge,” seemingly mocking gender non-conforming people. Elsewhere in the video J2hundred continues to make transphobic and homophobic jokes.

In the comments, people cheered J2hundred on, with one writing that “pride is a cult.” Meanwhile others responded to the YouTuber’s call to “F*** the furries” by writing that in the comments. “Ur funny bro,” wrote another follower.

Many others applauded J2hundred in the comments with one person saying: “When we allowed to close down city’s with straight month lol or white history month ffs.”

YouTube and Google’s policy on hate speech states clearly that “Hate speech is not allowed on YouTube,” and that anything that “promotes violence or hatred against individuals or groups” such as the LGBTQ+ community is not allowed on the platform.

The policy relates to anything that encourages violence or hatred towards individuals and groups based on a protected group status. “This policy applies to videos, video descriptions, comments, live streams and any other YouTube product or feature,” the YouTube policy says.

YouTube also warns that if its policy is violated users can expect a warning. But if that policy is violated again within 90 days uses will face a strike with three strikes within 90 days possibly leading to an account termination.
