Ok, so this is an issue quite close to myself, and I believe any human being on this planet. Everyone has a longing to be accepted for who or what they are, what they believe in, their beliefs and values, and just generally, people wanted to be accepted and liked in society and the world they live in.
Youtube is such a great community space where people can express themselves and appreciate their acceptance into the community, however, pockets of downright narrow-mindedness still exist. Well... I say pockets....
For instance, the apparently 'racist' adverts, (Which I still don't quite get), but also, I was just looking back at someone's video I am subscribed too whose video was featured not too long ago. The amount of derogatory comments is unbelieveable. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but if there is critisism it should surely be about the video itself, and not the actual vlogger or the life they may or may not lead.
Now those comments are uncalled for, and to be honest, are just absolutely unnecessary. But it just goes to show how narrow-minded some people can be, and how ignorant of the world they really are. If they see something which they may not class as 'normal', then they will attack it. Some people have not evolved so far as to get over that. You could get angry, you could upset, you could take it to heart... but at the end of the day, it's their view which is totally misjudged, and those individuals are obviously very ignorant of the world around them. It's their problem, so fuck 'em! It took me years to figure that out, but now I have- so fuck 'em. Stay polite, be smarter than them (which to be honest, is NEVER difficult), and know that you are the better person, because you are much more aware of the world you live in, and you are not afraid to show your awareness by being who you are. Fuck 'em.
Enough said.
