    Could you edit the title to be descriptive instead of using the video’s title?

    Not a fan of making a portmanteau out of the n word.

    (Yeah I read the discussion. Editing the title seems like the right level of compromise over, like, me deleting it, or leaving it there to give edgelords ideas. I’d rather see people talking about the video instead of its title.)

        No problem. I’d suggest just “Black masculinity and the white supremacist politic of incel mythology”. It’s a good choice of title on your part. Just doesn’t get rid of the thing that people were complaining about.

          Yeah I thought appending an editorialised bit would help assuage that, but i feel uncomfortable renaming it altogether? Like it’s his (foreign’s) working title, and id rather yield to his expertise on the matter?

          It’s not memeing or taking unnecessary jabs at folks, it my just make whitey uncomfortable.
