How many YouTube channels in Malayalam justify women’s crimes?

The circle of relatives has 4 sons, adding 3 daughters. As several conversations about marriage and domestic violence spread in the state, the circle of relatives decided to post a video indicating that their 19-year-old daughter, who had just finished Elegance 12, would soon be getting married. They were waiting for her to reach the minimum legal age to marry her. The channel, which has 91. 4,000 subscribers, also aired several episodes about how a woman is trained to behave in her in-laws’ house after marriage. , chose to do so by highlighting the “lifestyle changes” they had imposed on their daughter who was getting married.

“Women will not be allowed to remain (single) for long. We will make Ponnu (the 19-year-old girl) a Janu (Janu is a common call that is used in Malayalam videos to refer to characters who are domestic workers) Array Because after marriage, no one says that her mother did not teach her all this (household chores),” says the mom proudly in the video pronouncing her daughter’s wedding. The mother herself married at the age of 15. “From now on, Ponnu will take care of all household chores. Ponnu has replaced long after his engagement. He gets up early and starts running in the kitchen,” the parents say. .

Gayathri Babu, a popular YouTuber who tackles misogyny and other socio-political issues on her Get Roast with Gaya3 channel, said, “They don’t realize how much they’re spreading through those videos that have thousands of views. “

Speaking to TNM, Gayathri says that many of those videos are made just to get views, without worrying about the consequences.

“They subjects and miniatures with the transparent aim of gaining views. The recent Behindwoods interview with former thief Maniyanpilla is an example of this,” says Gayathri.

The video shows Maniyanpilla talking about his days as a thief; as part of the conversation, he shows that he once raped a woman at knifepoint when he broke into her home; far from being horrified, the interviewer romanticizes her and even asks if Maniyanpilla tried to “meet” the woman after that. The cartoon and the name of the video also involved rape, making it look like an “erotic” encounter. It was only replaced after several viewers objected.

“There are also those who think they are helping other people with their regressive comments and misinformation. They pass them thinking they are doing something right. But that only reinforces misogynistic and patriarchal concepts. concepts can disappear completely, so they do everything they can for regressive values. They oppose feminism, LGBTQIA rights, and equality,” she adds.

Although several crimes of harassment have been reported in the state, with young male women being stabbed to death or pinned in the fireplace for saying no to a guy or ending a date, such incidents are glorified as “love. “Ashkar techy, a channel with 1. 07 million subscribers, had some videos on “theppu” (a problematic word implying that someone pulled out of a date because they had finished employing the other person) before some were removed due to viewer criticism.

In the last 4 years, at least 12 have been killed by stalkers in the state, yet such crimes continue to be reported as accounts of “rejected lovers”, blaming Array. In one of Ashkar’s videos, he talks about a woman who promised to marry him and then broke up with him. Her words are filled with anger and he claims that she “tricked” him into deciding to walk away from her. He also talks about how he “got revenge” by opposing her.

“After a few months I will buy a dog or a cat, I will give them their name. Only then will other people know his name,” the vlogger says in his video.

While Ashkar might not advocate violence or murder, those feelings that women are “cheaters” are already popular and justify men refusing to receive consent.

Criticizing Ashkar, Jaiby Joseph, a popular YouTuber, said: “It’s also harassment, when her fans celebrate those kinds of videos, they never think about the challenge the girl reasons. If she is the victim of a forced marriage, then this video is some other torture for her as well. “

In early July, the BBC reported that the Ashkar propaganda component of a mysterious marketing company was aimed at spreading incorrect information about COVID-19 vaccines. The report said Ashkar posted an anti-vaccination video as part of a crusade through a marketing firm called Fazze, and then deleted it when he was exposed. Examples like those show how influential those YouTubers and vloggers are and how fluidly they spread problematic and poisonous content.

Needless to say, women intend to carry the blame even when it is the man who has it in a relationship. YouTube channel Mindwaves Unni produces videos with headlines like “How to Get Your Husband Addicted to You,” “How to Physically Attract Your Husband,” “Men Want These Things from Women But Never Ask for Them,” “How to Serve Them Men, and so on.

“In the first years of life, you will take care of yourself. Later, you will not take care of your past appearance and the shape of your body. Do not forget yourself, only then will your husband love you. When you and you If your husband finds out That your good looks are old-fashioned, he will go looking for other relationships. If you don’t maintain your good looks, he will go looking for other people who attract him, “says Unni, as a recommendation for” desperate wives. “

Many of those chains also have interaction in ethical policing, dictating how women deserve to be disguised and shaming them when they don’t cling to the line. The Mubis Paradise channel offers videos with titles like “Ee Ammacheede videos aarum kaanaruthu” (which means that no one deserves to see the videos of this old lady). The content is abusive, with the presenter making offensive comments about women dressed in short get get dressedes or bikinis. “What is the challenge with this ammachi?the duration of his dress is shortened. Why can’t it occupy a place as you get older?YouTube has become a porn site. These women wear garments only by the same name. YouTube deserves to ban them. I’m afraid of what will take place if my son sees this on YouTube,” she says furiously.

While it is mandatory to call out the poisonous content of such videos, especially when they justify crimes and are loaded into the social conditioning that leads to such crimes, Gayathri claims that the audience will also have to replace. “The fuel for such problematic content is the All those videos get thousands of views, so they replace them on both sides,” she says.
