I have been in locker room conversations enough to know what goes on in both boys and girls sides, because I am a privacy advocate (I write guides) and people find it easy to trust me, and know their secrets will never leak out. Taboo topics are a massive part of it. Being a fuckboy/hoe is often discussed. Dark humour and alcohol is often there. There are plenty things that go on, that never come out. And both sides do it.

Taboo topics are always spicy and welcome when the public morality filter/mask is worn off in a private setting. Humans are evolved animals and the primal instinct desires sometimes want us to get dirty, messy and perverted. Practically nobody is an exception to this.

Fresh and Fit got demonetised because of this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEaYaqzt3JE and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t26bgsjW01Y They called AbaPreach (black Ethiopian people) monkeys and other things, and talked a lot of nasty stuff. One of the hosts, Myron, also wore KKK white cone cap while they hosted a white supremacist, who got uncomfortable.

Pearl got demonetised for this. Thumbnail should be enough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOL2mBNC8uw AbaPreach cover them best, but there are plenty tubers who dunked on her (and wasted time).

AbaPreach are suspiciously stuck at 2M subs for a year, and have only gone to 2.1M now. Their following is quite large, and I only started seeing them last year due to rational non-conservative takes on social issues. There are a bunch of black conservatives, I fell for one but quickly got off.

Again, do you want it to be normal that some people get objectified? Do you think it's good that sometimes you go on a rant about some perceived negative quality other people have? You could try actually talking to the people you're gossiping about, give them some kind of feedback if their behavior is anti-social. But instead, you're here defending group chats where people share (fake) nude photos of their (underage) classmates.

You also haven't shown any real evidence that feminism is behind any of the problems you see in the world. Don't you believe in the pareto principle? Do you think it might be possible that all the negative, vitriolic things you see (that you assign to all of women and feminism) comes from a small minority of people? And that, just maybe, those people don't even have to be part of the feminist movement at all?

And I really don't care about your favorite youtubers, I just think you shouldn't listen so much to just one source. Especially when all they do is react to the latest social media outrage. But specifically for Fresh and Fit: that video you linked came out at the beginning of June, and the demonetization happened in mid August.
