Carlos Manuel Maza (born 1988)[1] is an American video producer who writes, produces, and hosts the Vox series "Strikethrough". He has been described as "Brian Stelter meets NowThis".[1]

Biography

Maza graduated from Wake Forest University in 2010 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science.[2] He previously worked at Media Matters for America from 2011 to 2016, where he was a research fellow and created a video series on media criticism.[3][4] At Media Matters, he was also the LGBT Program Director, in which capacity he focused on rebutting what he described as "anti-LGBT myths".[2][5] He currently works at Vox Media where he produces Strikethrough for them which is published on YouTube. As of April 2019 he has 74,000 followers on Twitter under the name "Gaywonk".[6]

Steven Crowder

In June 2019, YouTube investigated conservative YouTube personality Steven Crowder for multiple uses of racist and homophobic slurs targeting Carlos Maza in several videos reacting to the Vox series Strikethrough, which Maza hosts. Maza said that Crowder's fans have doxxed and harassed him.[7] Crowder responded with a video where he said that the investigation was a "war we will fight to the bitter end" and "this is an example of a giant, multinational media conglomeration ... attempting to squash a competitor." He also said that his use of racial and homophobic slurs was "playful ribbing".[8][9] Four days later, YouTube responded to state that the language, although 'hurtful', didn't violate its policies and would not be removed from the site.[10] The decision drew considerable criticism. On the next day, YouTube changed course saying that it decided to suspend Crowder’s ability to run ads on and monetize his videos,[11] later saying that if Crowder addressed "all of the issues" with his channel, monetization could be restored.[12] Maza subsequently protested the decision to demonetize Crowder instead of banning him.[13] Others criticized YouTube for their decision to demonetize Crowder, arguing that his videos fell under protection of free speech.[14]

Personal life

Maza is openly gay.[15] In 2017, the Washington Blade named him one of the 20 most eligible singles in the Washington, D.C. area.[16]
