See Below for Sources Cited. Note: This video is not meant to refute all of Vox's claims, but to examine them in further detail, and provide counter arguments, or further elaborate on their points where possible. I may disagree with Vox throughout, but my arguments and sources may or may not be more or less valid than theirs. The intention is to approach the topic from an alternate perspective. Sorry about the microphone quality. I made this video over a several week period, because I work a lot, and I'm lazy. I used several microphones throughout, some of which may have been broken.
