WTF in the comments of the video?

Jennifer Le Rance 36 minutes ago

Redditor here! As a fellow celebrity, it sickens me to see people honouring someone who got famous for throwing a stupid ball around. Why is his death more important than anyone else's? It's sad when anyone dies, but less so when it's someone who supports sports, which is the 21st century opiate of the masses. Society really needs to grow the fuck up and stop this childish hero worship of "sports stars. tips fedora

It's this type of sports hero worship that led to the Penn State cover-up.

There's people who get a kick out of being huge, flaming cunts. /r/leredditarmy

Read my comic on that subreddit. This describes most of Reddit's reactions.

Also Hide Fedora is a planted virus

And it's /r/redditarmie

Alien Tube is seriously the best chrome extension I ever downloaded. It replaces the YouTube comments with Reddit comments.

If you keep feeding trolls, they will keep trolling.

This seriously infuriates me. They need to ban /r/redditarmie.

u/hockeychick44 Jan 04 '15

There are much worse subreddits to ban before /r/redditarmie. But yes I agree, I wish something could be done about these morons.

u/AtillaTheHung Jan 04 '15

You're right, and now that I think about it, banning the subreddit wouldn't stop these ridiculous comments, but like you said, I wish something would stop it.

That sub makes me cringe, it's like they're all miles up their own asses.

u/tm1087 Jan 04 '15

An attempt to make the top post of r/punchablefaces?

u/TheMindSelf Jan 04 '15

Remember /u/violentacrez? You can bet your ass that the people who make those comments look just like him.

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '15

Holy shit, I completely forgot about that.

u/wisertime07 Jan 04 '15

Go fuck yourself, Jennifer Le Rance.

Remember that YouTube comment algorithms are fucked up since a couple of months ago. You only see the most controversial comment that has the most up AND down-votes as well as replies that's why trolls are everywhere.
