Semi-hiatus
My mom had to go to my sister’s to take my youngest niece to the hospital. I hope she’ll be okay. I didn’t hear what was wrong.
Fully agree. YT commenters can be so toxic...it's unreal!
Yeah, this is why I limit myself to what I post on YouTube nowadays. Social media can be toxic in general, but it feels like YouTube is one of the worse ones for it. I have mostly been posting gaming videos as of late. I had to learn the hard way that YouTube is a cesspool for bullies and trolls. I see it happening to other people more often than I'd like to admit.eah, YT comments in general have been a cesspool of toxicity for ages now it feels like.
I miss old YouTube (as in early 2010s)...
I once joined a martial arts forum that I soon found out to be extremely toxic and I got bullied by one of the “most respected” members there adjust because I said how I thought a particularly popular actress wasn’t that good at acting like everyone says she is and when I asked for help from the Mods, they even bullied me and claimed that I was “making demands” even though I was just pointing out that the guy was clearly violating the site’s rules on bullying and had said “please” when I asked them for help. The worst part? There were posts about Obama being a “traitor” and how he should have been dragged out of the White House with a rope and basically killed. Also there was a post ranting about how gay people should all be gathered up and killed and that anyone in the LGBTQ community were pedos and going to hurt children. And yet no one came after those users.So last night, I decided to read an article on Fox News just to read the comments in the common section. These comments in response to Disney’s decision were very offensive. Even a person like me, who had a hard time understanding social cues, can see what’s wrong with these comments. However, I’m not surprised that they would stoop this low given that this is typical MAGA behavior, especially when an article is about some place going woke. But what I don’t understand is how they’re able to get away with saying that stuff online, or how the internet would even allow these comments.
Ok, now this was worse than what I’ve read in the Fox New comments. They may be toxic and widely offensive, but even they didn’t contain violent suggestions like that martial arts forum. All I found in that comments section of an article on Fox about Disney removing Native American stereotypes from a ride were highly transphobic suggestions, mockery towards Disney and the Democratic Party, and calls or discussions of boycotting Disney for self-censorship of stereotypes. These comments may not have any illegal content, but they wouldn’t be allowed on many online communities. But the point is, society these days has gotten too immature and too aggressive, and online is where you’ll see the worst of their behavior.I once joined a martial arts forum that I soon found out to be extremely toxic and I got bullied by one of the “most respected” members there adjust because I said how I thought a particularly popular actress wasn’t that good at acting like everyone says she is and when I asked for help from the Mods, they even bullied me and claimed that I was “making demands” even though I was just pointing out that the guy was clearly violating the site’s rules on bullying and had said “please” when I asked them for help.
