You know, YouTube has this amazing ability to make me completely lose faith in humanity. Some of the horrible, racists, sexist, bigots, total DUMB ASSES choose to comment. These are people who thrive on insults, who have to contribute their two cents, whether it’s relative or not. I go out of my way to avoid interacting with these sort of people that often times I almost forget they exist. Then I go on YouTube. What’s it like to live their lives? Be in their mind?
Another thing I’ve noticed is people’s capacity to turn a conversation or an issue to themselves. I can sort understand that it’s their way to relate, to try and say they understand, but sometimes you just don’t understand so then just shut up about the subject. For example, there will be a video about issues for the deaf. Someone will comment, “Oh, I used to have a counselor in elementary school who was deaf.” Or worse, “I don’t know any deaf people.”
Okay…why does that matter? It doesn’t contribute to the general conversation or the larger issue at hand.
The bigots are the worst. They’re often times SO over the top that you have to wonder if they’re faking it. But sadly, I don’t think they are, and it makes me sick.
