    Where the fuck have all these terrible people in the video comments been hiding the past decades? Like, did all of them have these opinions but they never voiced them. How does it happen that they start commenting such bullshit?

      They feel safer saying their views out loud - look around at how they’re using fear and uncertainty in the world to grow their suppprt. They are fucking around…

      I have noticed the same thing with the comments on local news stories on Instragram, I can’t read them anymore it’s sickening.

      youtube stopped regulating right wing trolls/bots since 2020, i started noticing them appearing around that time on a doctor who video, usually ends up calling the video woke/or referring to biden/hillary or obama.

      they have infested in scifi/shows comments for quite a while. or they make some wierd ass correlation as to why the video(the show or movie) is scripted that way as related to immigration, race, or anything that criticises christiniaty or right wingers. like recently a video of the recent sandman series, when Dream is discussing the key to hell after he acquired from lucifer, and the other gods show up on his doorsteps, and dream said" i woudl rather have them as guest than as enemies". One comment said , oh this must be immigration propaganda. they always comment out of context and try to connect the video as to why thier view of right wing/current events is wrong.

        Oh, I’ve seen them too! I was wondering why a news story about Concord had a whole bunch of stupid ass right-wing comments blaming “blue-haired people” for the flop, as if nothing else was to blame. It really felt like I had stepped into the Twilight Zone.
