CharCharChar Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMiM_doxFmg This video misunderstands asexuality (and other things). One user took the time to explain asexuality in the comments and was mocked. Please go like the "Legend's Warble" comment so that it moves up and more people might see it and question this youtuber's inaccurate depiction of asexuality. Even if no minds are changed, we can at least show Legend's Warble we're here. Trigger Warning for the YouTube Comments There are many comments you may scroll past that could be upsetting if you don't like being mocked for using labels or being called confused / in need of fixing for questioning your gender.

Incidentally, I'd already liked it four days ago, and left my own reply to a different comment. Link to post Share on other sites
LeChat Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Wouldn't "liking" the comment eventually be taken away by more "downvotes," where the number of "likes" would show up less and less (so, it wouldn't look like there's much support, anymore)? Commenting would show support that would at least stay up there. Link to post Share on other sites

Rynn Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Commenting does far more than upvoting in terms of algorithm manipulation. Does anyone remember the 'just reply with a + to show you agree' initiative? I think the vlogbrothers started that one, to try to stop the most controversial (and often shittiest) comments from always taking the top spot, since controversial comments garner more replies. Also, heads up, the algorithm interprets disliking video as 'yay engagement, gotta show this video to more people.' Try to avoid disliking and commenting on videos you dislike. They get recommended more often if you do that. Link to post Share on other sites

Astrea Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 As a side note... does anyone have any insight about the moron running the show? I had never heard of him. All I see from his Youtube is that he has an unhealthy fixation with other people's personnal life and I would dismiss him entirely if it weren't for him defining himself as a #1 international bestselling author on his youtube page, which picked my interest considering it is blatantly untrue. When I look him up, I mainly find a list of pretty embarrassing made for TV movies / series and an insulting quote about Greta Thunberg (go figure, I suppose he doesn't believe in climate either 🙄). I'm gonna guess I won't have to dig far to find him making racist comments? Link to post Share on other sites

Divide By Zero Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Do not, under any circumstances, read the comments on YouTube or any other social media site or any news site. You will lose all faith in humanity if you do and likely end up severely depressed. Link to post Share on other sites
