* MisaimedFandom: In a discussion stream with Vaush, Kirk said that he felt that "It's Only Sexist When Men Do It" garnered one. The 2011 video consisted of Kirk calling out ''The Talk'' for [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale making light of a woman quite literally emasculating her husband]] as well other similar moments on other shows, and criticizing the feminist movement for not talking about these issues. The video consequently laid the groundwork for much of the anti-SJW culture that has polarized the internet, Kirk included. In his own words...
-->'''Kirk''': When I did it I feel like it was anti-reactionary. Now, I feel like it is reactionary. When I did it, it was against outrage culture, now I feel like it's another tenet of outrage culture.
-->'''Vaush''': Is that what you mean when you said you felt it was widely misinterpreted? That people used it as a springboard to engage in their own misbehavior rather than...?
-->'''Kirk''': I don't think it happened quite that quickly, but I think that, y'know, it went from "Hey, don't you use this moral cudgel to control art," to-- and that's what the anti-SJW shit is now, it's a moral cudgel to try to control art. And, uh, so it became the exact opposite of what, at least on my part it was intended to be.
