Breadtube if it didn't suck.
Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.
Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.
There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.
A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

There's a who type of guy (well usually a guy) who will take any excuse to tell everyone in close proximity their very gory and detailed fantasies about what they would do to pedophiles. Hell the entire movie "The Human Centipede" was inspired by the directors fantasies about what he'd like to do to pedos. And to an extent I get it since pedophiles are absolute scum, but I think most times these guys aren't really all that motivated by empathy for the victims or a desire for brutal justice, but more because they just have very violent fantasies and pedophiles are the one group most everyone agrees merits that treatment. I've heard more than a few stories about guys like that turning out to be creeps in their own right, and even when they're not they are still very aggressive and offputting.
While I get it I don't think it's a particularly healthy or productive impulse to indulge in. As despicable as pedophiles are I still think we live in a civilization that should try to punish people in balanced and humane ways and not give over to violent impulses, even when it's righteous.
My gut feeling is that if you satisfy what I believe are actual sadistic desires and pleasures with "justifiable" victims, then you are nearly always more likely to assume guilt when the possibility is presented so that you can indulge sadism again.
You gotta be like extremely self aware and self controlled to not let desires like that slip and affect your everyday moral judgements, and even if you are capable of that, I think its blanket unethical and immoral to indulge sadism with real human suffering.
Its more important to "hurt the bad guy" than to "help the victim".
