Worst Types of Comments on the Internet
This list consists of comments that are not specific in one website (e.g. Who's watching in 2018? is not a contender, since it is only native on YouTube).
Someone always does this: whenever a young woman or girl dies or suffers a serious accident, there are always people joking about their sexual desires toward her (even if they just know her gender and nothing more about her). It is even more disgusting when the victim is under 18, and the joker is above 40, judging by his profile picture.
In addition, they always get 5 - 10 likes or upvotes, and if somebody tells them not to act like this, they will reply with something like, "Why are you such a prude loser?" This behavior strengthens toxic masculine stereotypes about men.
Inappropriately, students at my school are making jokes like, "Whose side are you on: Russia's or Ukraine's?" We shouldn't be making fun of wars like this one. I'm sure we would all be horrified if we were in a war.
What is worse are political comments made after a tragedy.
For example, after someone gets shot, a person might leave a comment about how if they had a gun, they could have protected themselves, or how this wouldn't have happened if everyone was allowed to carry guns.
To me, it's only bad when they say things like "the victim deserved to die" or make fun of them, especially when it's just a few days after the tragedy.
Anyways, today Senators and the President did some things.
I can't understand why children make comments like igr and aefrnghojn. They do, because baby show YouTube comment sections are full of these.
The reason that first comments do not bother me is simple: I can get over them. Maybe an hour passes, and I don't remember them anymore. I just see them, think they're useless, then forget.
However, jokes about tragedies, death threats, and senseless words stick in my mind far longer.
These comments are just annoying. Being first to comment on a video doesn't mean anything. There is no big cash prize for being first. Stop acting like your sole purpose of existing on this planet is to be the first comment on a random video.
No one wants to hear someone use warped logic to trace the cause of a tragedy back to Joe Biden, Donald Trump, or whoever. Some people will use anything to defame someone who had nothing to do with the tragedy.
I don't think this is that bad. The problem with text is that there is no way to convey emotion outside of emojis, which are overused and can be seen as ironic.
The biggest part of a joke is the delivery, which can't be done through text unless you're one of those people who uses asterisks to explain what you're doing during the setup and delivery of each joke.
Even if it was a very bad joke, it's still quite annoying when people think it was serious. And if it was a great one, they spoil it.
Seeing someone not get a joke is really annoying, but there are definitely worse things out there.
These are quite common when people are using the internet to help themselves with their homework.
Wow, this list is hard to determine, but troll comments have literally no value. At least with political comments about tragedies, there is usually a new (albeit awful) perspective on the topic.
On some platforms, it's extremely difficult to tell the difference between troll comments and genuine comments because about half the people genuinely believe what they say, and the other half are just trolling.
Some are funny, but most are just annoying.
Example from my list on this site:
List: Top 10 All-Female Metal Bands
Item: Kittie (all-female band)
Comment: "Exceptional live band, Led Zeppelin were exceptional studio and album."
Everything has its haters, but someone hated me just because I said Justin Bieber is better than [insert music artist]. I never said I liked him, but someone attacked me. This annoys me as hell, and in case you didn't know, the comment is in the "Top Ten Most Popular Trends of the 2010s" list.
Look at the comments under anything that talks about a Black person. You're bound to see some racist comments.
These comments don't only target one ethnicity. Comments insulting whites, Hispanics, Indians, and Arabs occur constantly around the web.
For example, like here at Comfortably Numb on the best song list: there was a comment saying that it has beautiful lyrics, a brilliant solo, and great vocals. Then someone replied, You mean terrible solo, terrible vocals, terrible lyrics?
So, people are disrespecting others' opinions.
They don't just target gays. People have made homophobic comments as insults against straight people as well.
Just as bad as racist, transphobic, and other bigoted comments.
Haven't seen too many of these comments lately, fortunately.
A thumbs down is usually less hurtful and offensive than the reason behind it, so replying to these comments might make that person even more offended.
Anyone who comments like this, or uses bots to do it, needs to spend more than 10 seconds outside.
The worst thing is that someone from the other side always has to reply and start a war.
Comments like these on YouTube are always posted by bots, which always have other bots replying to the comment, saying whichever product they are promoting has also helped them. One of the most common scams I've seen in these comments is cryptocurrency.
I have seen quite a few of these recently, and it's really annoying.
There are many people who have commented against us. Some make fun of our beliefs, and they also perceive many of us as homophobes. Very sad.
Bigoted comments in general are bad.
For example, someone writes Kurt Cobain is a great singer (present tense), I love him!
Reply: He died. (We never knew that, thanks.)
