"...a plain text version of Lord of the Flies..."
Now that is funny.

Why does she call the video Dear reddit, and then only talk about youtube comments? I thought the reddit comments about this guy weren't so bad

I think it's called dear Reddit because they presumed that redditors were responsible for making the video popular and also made up the bulk of comment traffic in his video.

Yeah, that had me confused too. It's more of a dear YouTube than anything.

(It's just that since Reddit, the comments section's like a Mukbang gangbang...)
Why couldn't she just show comments from Reddit then? I feel like this diminishes her point of the video by just showing youtube comments.

Presumably it's actually Youtubers who find content on reddit (most people on reddit don't comment here). Youtube comments tend to be... not very great.

What a fantastic video. Thanks for sharing, mate.

I wish I could maintain the composure this woman has when addressing those trolls.

Am I missing something, or did the video creator nitpick Youtube comments and address them as they were reddit. I know reddit has problems, but we are at least a step above Youtube comments.

Great video, but the title's too unspecific…

The best thing he did was throw his phone. Reddit gave him so much crap for that, but when you're that angry, how easy is it to blow up on the person on the phone? He could've taken it out on the innocent worker.

I'm surprised he got so pissed. We have all made mistakes like that.

Get this traction so r/all can see it. The internet is a terrible place when it comes to morality.

Several great points, I identified with the bit starting 8:16 but can't link to that time on mobile.

This needs to hit the front page.

First of all, this video is fake. He's promoting his fucking eBook.
Second of all, check out his responses to the comments. This isn't an innocent vegan, this is a total fucking douche. He's pushing the vegan movement 10 years back, no need to defend him.

It sounds like she wrote the script for this with a thesaurus. Or do people really use words like "vicissitudes"?
-2†
Some people have a broad vocabulary. It's not uncommon. Even if she did use a thesaurus, what's wrong with that? One of the things I like doing in my free time is collecting words. I love discovering new words, their origins, etymology, and adding them to my vocabulary.

I guess some people need a hobby. I still found it jarring.
It probably is just her beying herself and I'm an arse and a bully for raising it, but that public schoolgirl accent and the choices of unnecessarily large words while making fun of misspelled YouTube comments made it all sound cringeworthily snobbish. I ended up siding with the YouTube comments.

her... British accent?
8
Well, they do add a bunch of pointless 'u's to their words, so I agree that they're unnecessarily long
1
She was also making point about the one comment that was making fun of the guy in video because he probably used words like "problematic" ironically. At that point she did the cool little riff about being articulate and find very specific words to convey what they want to say with super elevated language, more so than a simple word like problematic, to emphasize her point.
5
That doesn't explain the rest of the video. I did like "wallward" especially.

I agree with you! The youtube woman's word choice made me feel less intelligent and confused. Now I feel angry and I'd like to take it out on her so I too will side with the commenters on youtube.

about that vegan who ordered vegan pizza but found cheese in the sauce...
So was it labeled as vegan at the store or did he assume it was vegan?
As far as I gathered his mother ordered it and asked for specific changes like dairy free dough etc. Apparently the people making it didn't catch on that he wouldn't be happy with cheese in the the tomato sauce.
So can we be honest and say it sounds like consumer has as much fault as the store?
I mean, even if the dough was dairy free, the sauce wasn't.
Not that I'm blaming the guy, but there's definitely some responsibility on the purchaser to be explicit in clarifying whether or not there is meat or animal product, cheese or other dairy in the sauce, toppings, dough, or otherwise.
I don't think it's about blaming anyone. The guy was just frustrated that the pizza he was eating turned out to contain animal products.
