I’ve seen a few videos saying to just not give a fuck to what Youtube Commenters say, yet they never really went over “I’m coming to your house… I know where you live” comments that would scare the fuck out of me.
That was until I laughed my head off after watching a Youtuber named ‘I Hate Everything’ (or ‘IHE’). I never seen or even heard of this channel except after the fiasco of The Fine Bros wanting to trademark the word “React”, and causing this guy’s channel to be literally shut down for such moronic reasons.
He had so.. so much support to get his channel back up, even unlikely allies from 4-Chan’s \b\ area.
So, IHE does his videos a different way. He does “I HATE (BLANK)” videos, and he does them to get his point across. Also, he goes after what people really like, such as Minecraft. He knew he would get comments of people saying “FUCK YOU, Minecraft is AWESOME!!” Yet in his video, the only thing he “hates”, is because it’s over-saturated, which I completely agree. Not once did he say he actually hates Minecraft. And he says this again and again. He likes Minecraft.
And he proved points, again and again, that people will go out of their way to defend their favorite things of doing a ‘Comment Comeback’ video of going over the most stupid thought comments that he’s totally never seen being repeated.
My point is, he too when he started, he was offended by Youtube comments. But as time went on, he felt how ridiculously stupid these comments are, and just laughed at them. And this is the same thing other Youtubers have said. But what was different about IHE… he knew how to handle ‘threat’ comments. Because he knew 99% of them are from 9-12 year old kids who cannot do a fucking thing to him. This has even lead him to sometimes not even bother reading the comments; to let them fester for a bit.
And my second point, this is just one guy. He’s doing videos. And he’s having to comment him all on his own. So, if he can do it… why can’t I? Why can’t I get over my stupid, ridiculous fear of being insulted and just do what I love doing?
Remember in my absolutely embarrassing post in here when I admitted I lied about getting opinions, and how I said “I love feeling I’m in control”?
He knows he’s not in control of what people say. And really, that’s not even his job. He even said in one of his videos, he’s against censorship of anykind. It’s really the job of parents, not him. If parents raised their children better instead of been so busy with their lives, don’t you think the Internet could had been a better place by now?
I really love his attitude; how he either just facepalms and/or laughs at hateful comments, and I feel it’s time to change mine to reflect his. Just.. don’t give a FUCK what people tell you. Don’t feel you have to be nice to them! If you do what you love, then keep doing it!!
