Lady in the front row, on the right: Accuses Pearl of disempowering women.
Same lady, a few minutes later: Disempowers women by saying, in the conversation on transgender women participating in sports, women's "opinions don't f*cking matter." Mind-boggling, just mind-boggling.
It doesn't seem to be a habit of theirs. They only disable comments on certain videos, and I'm not sure what the qualifier is. I haven't checked enough videos to determine a pattern.
I'm guessing comments exceeded their acceptable Based Threshold. Check the archive, everyone was on the anti-feminism side for the most part. Despite them pushing the narrative so hard, people weren't buying it, so they silenced the people.

That seems like a very plausible explanation.
