      That's pretty cool. I might have to look for his or someone's help for that soon too. :/ My first relationship was just a lie and I thought it was real. The poophead I was online dating was only interested in nudes and as soon as he got them he shared them with everyone. I know this because people recognize me all the time now. The problem is they all refuse to tell me where it's posted and the cops can't do anything about it because here say isn't proof for an investigation.
      It really has a negative effect on my life right now. I can't even escape it at work.

      I believe Celebrity culture really has pushed us all into seeing others as non-human in various ways... I mean of course our ancestors did that a lot lmao but you’d think in the 90s to 2010s, we wouldn’t be gobsmacked when someone who has a whole bunch of attention on them has a breakdown or acts rude or etc.... Humans tend to forget that we’re all literally from the same species and other humans are walking around with them.... odd.

I see a lot of clips on Instagram of people just having fun and living their life, and people in the comments will just be brutal and make fun of them for no reason. Like they really forget that these are real people. Can you imagine if you came across a post of a picture of yourself or something and everyone in the comments were insulting you? I can't imagine what that would do to someone's self esteem.

    It's like your friends making jokes about one specific thing about you. Yeah, it's a joke at first and everyone's having a nice giggle, but it eventually dies down or they realize that it embarrasses and annoys you so they stop. Except instead of a few friends it's most of the world and it never ends. I really can't imagine anything worse than being recognized everywhere you go as the person who did the dumb thing years ago and no one letting go of that. It's like the kid who played Anakin Skywalker in the The Phantom Menace. No one ever let that go and everywhere he went he was tied to the awful movie and was ridiculed for it.

    I was a (quite small) meme at one point. I was the person who made the “Guy turns into Sans” meme. This blew up on iFunny and Instagram and eventually seeped its way into my real life.
    I had kids in my school telling me that they saw my meme, I had people like iDubbbz and Toby Fox viewing it, and I had people personally harassing me for the video, the worst part is that people didn’t realize the video was fake.
    The worst part is always the people who don’t get the joke. At one point I had hundreds of DM’s on instagram and most of them were insults like “fat autist” and it really puts into perspective the type of shit these people go through, and this is coming from someone who was a relatively niche meme, can’t imagine what these people really go through.

    I then saw the Focus TV "documentary", and I gotta say, you forgot the best part: Not only did they claim, as you said, that his father had secretly recorded the footage, they even claimed that "Leopold" was now in a clinic in the Netherlands that specialised in rehabilitation from "video game addiction".

      A thing like that happened in Brazil. A boy started messing with some tigers in a zoo, putting his arm inside the cage. Then a tiger attacked him and he lost his arm. I don't know how he is now, but he quickly became a meme because "he was stupid to mess with the tigers". I hope he is well

    When I was in 5th/6th grade we had some people come over to school and talk about "internet safety" and stuff like that.
    But when the day came to an end, they started talking about videogames...
    Just imagine, a middle aged karen telling her kid how bad videogames are.
    Yea that's how bad the last ~30min were.
    But just as I thought it couldn't get worse, they pulled up the angry german kid...
    Yes the people, that came to our school that day to teach us about internet legit thought that, that video was 100% real.
    I can still hear that woman saying stuff like "More than 1h a day, and this will happen. :]"
    That was, and probably still is, THE most sad and pathetic thing I have ever witnessed.

      @@AimlessSavant I feel like I'm in the 1-2% of people who think that the zoo made the right choice considering the circumstances. It's an incredibly high pressure situation highly dangerous for the child. Heck, even a full adult man would be in severe danger in the same cage as a gorilla. If you had to choose to save a human toddler or an adult gorilla, which would you pick? Especially with a screaming crowd and TERRIFIED parents. Sure maybe there was a chance the gorilla would've left the child alone, but they *did* give it a chance to back off peacefully first. They made the right call.

      Just from the video footage I can certainly tell that the kid was dragged around like a ragdoll. It was a miracle he managed to survive after both the fall and being dragged around like that with minimal injury. In a tense situation where a human child's life is in danger, taking down an animal is far more sensible than prolonging the danger of the child, no matter how fine he was after that. How would they know that the child was uninjured? And tranquilizers don't just drop animal asleep in a heartbeat, they can potentially lash out, endangering the child even more. Ironically here in the internet, in some cases the life of an animal is valued more than the lives of human children.
      Bash me as you can, but my firm opinion is that human lives matter more than any animals, unless said humans are scumbags of society.

It got to the point that even her friends dropped her, boyfriend left her, and her family didnt want to soeak with her I think.

Yes, it has more faults than redeeming qualities, but it is just a game, if people have fun so be it. And yes, it got more popularity than it should have, but it's because it released at the right time when game hate culture was at its weakest, and kids were appealed from the colourful graphics and dumb animations of the game (and shooting people).

    I realised how people who make memes get reuploaded, stolen, hated on, get no credit, get no money, and then when they say "hey that's mine" someone says "no one cares this is youtube poeple reupload"

    There was once a meme in Poland about "Meat hedgehog"
    It was about a song from some weird drama "Pamiętniki z wakacji".
    It instantly became a meme, and because of that, the guy that sang it, commited suicide
    May he rest in peace

    Hey man, I dont know if you're still reading these but please dont take the viewer count as a direct implication of this videos quality. This was a phenomenally done video, algorithm and user interaction is the cocktail that made this not do well. Its arguably imo your best video yet. Please keep going man
