I was bored the other day so I searched 'Wrong Planet' on YouTube. I came a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtV0vFAE2q8) and decided to watch it. One of the comments caught my attention.

Comment: Look at this really. 19:18 What a f*****g prick man

What did he possibly do wrong?

I honestly can't figure it out.

Probably could be explained by the fact that it's a YouTube comment and YouTube comments are some of the stupidest comments on the internet.

Indeed.

I read some of the other comments and I was annoyed.

Meh. If you haven't p*ssed someone off on the Internet, you're not half trying.

Too true.

I have Youtube comments disabled through ad-block so I don't see the sheer stupidity and vile crap people post.

Any Youtube video with a decent amount of views and comments will get some out of left field abuse

This video has a reasonably low amount of views.

more views would probably mean more abusive comments.

I like this song that Trevor Moore from WKUK made on his comedy special that I think is relevant(not a particularly funny song, pretty poignant I think)

(language warning)

There are many people online - ostensibly NT - that exhibit all sorts of anti-social behavior. It's like the second they sit in front of a keyboard, they lose all filters and use being cruel to others as a strange, dysfunctional type of therapy. Best to ignore them, if you can.

What you did wrong was scroll down to look at the comments. Never do that!

People are having fights over the most mundane things. And they can go on forever.

Possibly a disgruntled WP member or WP troll.

Hi Alex, I know of you, don't think I have spoken to you before but after watching the video, you touched on some things in that interview that might piss off ignorant people in my opinion. Such as bullying which a lot of people think is a normal phase of life so that would be my guess as to why people are insulting you in the comments. Another example is at the five minute mark you talk about autistic people having empathy and of course ignorant people who don't know any better starting flaming what they don't understand. People probably believe autistic people can't show empathy because thats what is unfortunately plastered all over the internet about us.

Anyway, I doubt you let it bother you, but just know you shouldn't let it bother you. Also outside of your avatar I don't think I've seen you before, you handled that interview very well and seemed professional so there is that.

BTW

LOL - What it is like being a dictator Alex?
