I'm sure others have experienced this but I just find it so funny. I am a frequenter of Youtube and on a few occasions I have seen something that has concerned me and I've left a comment as to my concerns in a hope that its not seen as common practice or something like that, I'm not an angry or rude person I merely point things out politely but directly. The times I have been set upon by these so called keyboard warriors with a torrent of abuse, random people who seem to just be there to be rude, its such a shame really that you're almost reluctant to comment because you can almost guarantee an abusive response.
I shall provide an example for your amusement and see why I commented in the first place (the mouse is rubbing at its face because its had its teeth pulled out, I'm alocheeky on Youtube you can see my comments and then the keyboard warriors rant a bit lower down.
Graphic content Shazam! and the link has gone to protect the innocent

Isn't there some way of complaining to youtube about sick vids like this? Didn't watch it all but saw enough to turn my stomach. It's high time youtube cleaned up its act. I'm not a fan of censorship but in this sort of case, yes, I would want it banned.
As for keyboard warriors, Bob, I wouldn't dignify them with such a name.
They are septic minded, craven little bullies who crawl through cyber-slime hunting for target practice and a reaction from the target. Don't put yourself in the firing line. |

''don't feed the trolls''
As for banning the video it will be banned soon enough youtube do a good job of taking these videos down pretty well you can flag it as inappropriate for animal abuse though to speed it up.

Aye Gmac everyone on here is well behaved, BATS keeps us all honest lol.
I flagged this video, fingers crossed it is removed, I never really thought about the content of the video been upsetting when using it as an example, I'll remove it, wouldn't want him getting more hits than he deserved unless it was with cricket bats that is lol. |

what happened to the mouse is completely unacceptable and should never in a million years have been done, however all be it a very bad way of getting his point across he did have a valid point, all videos are titled so having seen the title you could've chose not to watch it as I did, but to go out of your way to watch it knowing full well you'd be disgusted by it seems stupid to me, because some might say you watched it purely to start a heated debate about it's content just my point of view :( |
