@LuvyDude.. .. developing a thick skin, in essence, was counter adaptive for archaic humans. War-focused tribes and people groups were more likely to overwhelm and destroy peaceful peoples, thereby creating a sort of survival of the fittest where war-minded cultures survived, and peaceful peoples died.
Maybe the lesson to learn here is that we must live in the balance.. Be, to some extent at least, protective of ourselves (secure your own oxygen mask before assisting others, if that analogy

I see that a lot of your comments keep talking about how people need to have "thick skin", but if you eliminate all the abusive, destructive, and hateful discussions in the world, you wouldn't need "thick skin".
There are some people in this world that can't develop "thick skin". That means your trolling, bullying, trashing, insulting, critiquing, and overall belittlement is going to damage that person's perception and make them think negatively about the world around them... I would know...
@LuvyDude182 I agree completely. When people say that someone should have a "thick skin" in response to a complaint about bullying or anything else negative, it's like prescribing a treatment instead of providing the CURE. Fine having a thick skin helps, but that's from the victim's side. What about the perpetrator? They should at least be taught that their behaviour is uncalled for.
over exaggerated bs.. a dating website is a dating website... 12 years of online business and never got bad feedback? the fuck is this a comedy video?
@nicknames11 it can happen. and I'm sure he cut out a lot of background stuff to keep it short...for instance, the owner could be going through personal problems of her own. And RIGHT then, someone else going through THEIR own personal problems decides to lash out on a stranger without thinking what state that stranger might be in. Point is: it's not always about you. Just like you...others are experiencing life and going through bad times. Don't make ti worse for them.
Wait what? She started crying when someone insulted her?? If everytime someone insulted me(on the net) ... the point is, answer it with clever combination of making him/her SHUT THE FUCK UP and swearing, if you can't correct their grammar, no mistakes? yea right
Honestly, there will always be haters in life, rather than making a video about how to not be a hater, it would be much more useful to make a video on how to deal with them in my opinion. Besides the net feeds on this kind of stuff. It feeds the flame. You have no idea how much effort it takes to resist trolling stuff like this.
The online comic strip Penny Arcade identified this hateful phenomenon seven years ago. It's not family-friendly, but you can find it by searching for "Green Blackboards (And Other Anomalies)."
As enlightening as it is i must say its not the truth. Treat the internet as a nest of the worst scumbags and trolls that ever walked the earth. If, even though you know that, youre still getting upset over those comments you should:
1. Grow a thicker skin.
2. Not give a fuck (similar to 1 but a little different).
The simple fact that a video like this has to be made to make a point is sad. Kudos. (or a book written) It's so sad that people don't inherently know this. Or have the sense to figure it out. :-/
I've been trolled in my time, can't say I've been the perfect internet citizen. But after having watched Apocalypse Now today, it reminded me that trying to discern what it was that sent a man you barely know on the other side of the world over the edge...
An internet flame war cannot easily be compared to Vietnam, but somehow I wonder if every fanboy on a forum one day meets their Col. Kurtz. And I found mine once. I don't speak to him anymore.
OMG NOW I UNDERSTAND! This guy, this guy is amazing. Why don't teachers show his videos in school? WHY DO I LEARN MORE ABOUT EVERYTHING FROM YOUTUBE THAN SCHOOL!?
@lolkiwi Oh, I'm a gamer, it is tiresome to go to gaming webblogs/sites and seeing so called "fanboys" arguing over smallest things on their rival consoles/games.
I'm thinking that they should show videos like this in the classrooms so young people will remember what they're saying to their peers, then maybe there wouldn't have been any suicides due to mean people on the internet.
@DZrache Really?!? That's all you have to say? Are you concieted then or just fishing for compliments, cuz that's all I really see going on on those types of websites.
@DZrache Then you must also be one of those women that post naked pics of themselves to get compliments, which is really sad cuz that means you don't have anybody in your life that appreciates who you really are and you have to go looking for other people to make you feel good about yourself. I believe that called a self confidence issue, might want to go to a therapist for that. Either all of that or you're just a slut,
You must be really insecure to project an entire personality onto someone from so few words. I can't be bothered to defend myself against you. Actually, go ahead. You need an emotional punching bag. It'll be like therapy.
Wait, so that guy wanted to build an entire relationship around hiking? I'm not an incredibly emotional person but I'm pretty sure there's more to it than that.
Really now. The internet has been around for 2 decades by now and people should know people are dicks on the internet. If you take everything at 100% face value that is found on the internet I honestly believe there is something very wrong with you. Really the internet is just a test of patience and self esteem and if you take an angrily written message seriously you really need to take a look at you as a person. In the words of the Joker "Why so serious?".
Being a dick is easy. There is no effort to shield your feelings or bite your tongue, you get to escape your humanity because you think that no one is going to force you to find it again.
The reason why people troll videos like this is because it forces them to remember their humanity and spoils their good time.
If you need to be reminded of your humanity, it's probably already gone.
@MomoGasumi I pity people who believe they are better than other people which contradicts the reason that makes them believe they are better in the first place. Your life is a contradiction. Humanity is nothing, it's a construction of society. Humans are not born with compassion, it is taught.
@stjanki Dude, I've been online since the days of gopher net and BBS was king....Trust me, people have been assholes for a long time, long before internet. Even old fol-gees like mean still get the worst kind of insults from people because of the internet's vast anonymity Even online there should be some level of etiquette ya know?
maybe the sensitive types should adjust to us. and realize that we wouldnt say shit like that in real life. and take it with a grain of salt. ive no plans to stop trolling anytime soon. and my insults are only as personal as you take them. i try to make them funny even.
@Matt97 they cant be personal insults. where do you draw the line? if a person tells me to fuck off i tell them to go and fuck themselves. if they cant because its a customer you suck it up and sabotage their product somehow. you dont let it eat you up inside. no one cares and no one should.

Love this video, and to all saying 'they just don't care' if those people were face to face, the 12 year old/dog/ranty person wouldn't be able to actually say what they said. They'd have to be incredibly angry or psychopathic to do so in that way. Especially here, people need to anonymity to push their bile. Good reminder that there are people on the end of the line.
@timbearcub Not true: I make death threats and tell subhumans directly to their faces and how they should be tortured and executed all the time. And, if you claim to believe in freedom, then you will defend my free speech right to say that. The first one who uses physical force - like trying to arrest me - is in the wrong.
@mphello lovely. I bet you yell Fire! in a crowded theatre too. And really I doubt you do, tbh. Looking at your comment history, there's an awful lot of troll-friendly topics you're commenting on. Western Sahara huh? Yeah right. Run along, kid.
@stjanki You do and you don't. Certainly about random people you learn that some will just try and troll you or upset you, but unless you're putting out things you don't care about, of course you take pride in your work or creations online. Actions have consequences. I've been online longer than most - 15 years, or 18 years if you count university. It's rare but some do get under the radar still - mostly people you thought you knew.
I think behaving like Valerie and the other woman is often a symptom of regarding computers and everything you do on them as just that: "the computer"...instead of regarding a computer as a medium, a tool, a vehicle, a portal, which you use to reach other people and their creations.
It's not that people forget that there's someone on the other end, it's that they just don't CARE. They don't give a shit about anyone else and think they can get away with not even bothering to put on the illusion of not being a dick because they think the person is miles away and can never find them.
It's always fun when you can prove those people wrong.
That cold hearted bitch turned down 10 guys without replying?
Well... Ever been to a bar trying to start a conversation with a girl like her?
It's the same, don't fool yourself. You will get turned down, and if you don't stand up after every slap you get, you will never be successful. True story. :)
AAAHHH BOO HOO! Big deal! IT'S THE FUCKING INTERNET!!! It shields us with more layers of anonymity than anything else. Why should someone take something so emotionally distant into consideration? That woman with the business should've just ignored the letter and send a refund. And I don't believe those men would've cared much about that woman considering it's an ONLINE DATING SERVICE. The point is to try and find many people that share similarities between profiles.
People need to be taught than something that someone tells over the internet is worth less than a shit and you shot not give a damn, I know it's hard, but it's worth it
BTW Derek, not saying you're gay is a bad thing, but this video is very clear that you relate more to women than men. You feel the womens pain, and you don't relate to the fact that men will say what women want to hear for dubious purposes. You think those men feel pain for not getting a response? You are either a very feminine straight man, or gay. Let the rainbow fly buddy, no shame. Some of the most interesting guys I know are gay
@TravisJeanSaunders Trolling is an excuse for one's own misinformed and/or uneducated opinion.
The video doesn't say anything except "Computers have people on the other side. Don't forget that."
How "emotionally sensitive" equals gay is beyond me. Many "manly" men like professional wrestlers are gay.
And what do you mean "anyone ever notice misogyny only works towards women"? Of course it only work toward women. If it were against men, it would be "misandry."
so what I learned out of that is that women are either bitches or they cry alot over nothing. Nothing new there. I'm sure the only men in that are fine, and were just trying to get laid. This is not misogyny, this is true. Women are catty, emotional based creatures, and men are logical (yet competitive and aggressive), boner based creatures. Thanks for teaching me nothing. BTW, anyone ever notice that misogyny only works towards women? Wonder why that is... Derek is gay or in the closet as well
I seem to have trouble understanding these people. "I can be a complete asshole because no one knows who I am!" What does that say about the kind of person who thinks like this? Take away visual, sound, and touch, they are left with only the person they want to be, it's true you can fake things, but who do you want to be? You want to be an anonymous asshole? I guess you can be but it says alot about who you really are, what you will say to people when you cannot be named.
@aegisgfx You can argue with religious people but you have to do it well. Using well spoken logic and calling them out on logical fallacies should get you quite far, but you need to appeal to them emotionally as well.
And you need a clear motive too. Shooting down peoples religion for no reason just makes you a dick.
Those people who are rude to others on chat sites, forums, when playing MMOs etc, or those who are trolling others... do they do that "in real life" too?

It's not that people forget that there's someone on the other end, it's that they just don't CARE. They don't give a shit about anyone else and think they can get away with not even bothering to put on the illusion of not being a dick because they think the person is miles away and can never find them.
It's always fun when you can prove those people wrong.

@tabrismacbeth I doubt that you were ever able to prove someone wrong who lives in another country.

Well... Ever been to a bar trying to start a conversation with a girl like her?
It's the same, don't fool yourself. You will get turned down, and if you don't stand up after every slap you get, you will never be successful. True story. :)

There's going to be assholes on the internet. If you can't handle them, then maybe you shouldn't be going on it. It's an inevitable truth.

AAAHHH BOO HOO! Big deal! IT'S THE FUCKING INTERNET!!! It shields us with more layers of anonymity than anything else. Why should someone take something so emotionally distant into consideration? That woman with the business should've just ignored the letter and send a refund. And I don't believe those men would've cared much about that woman considering it's an ONLINE DATING SERVICE. The point is to try and find many people that share similarities between profiles.

BTW Derek, not saying you're gay is a bad thing, but this video is very clear that you relate more to women than men. You feel the womens pain, and you don't relate to the fact that men will say what women want to hear for dubious purposes. You think those men feel pain for not getting a response? You are either a very feminine straight man, or gay. Let the rainbow fly buddy, no shame. Some of the most interesting guys I know are gay

@TravisJeanSaunders Trolling is an excuse for one's own misinformed and/or uneducated opinion.
The video doesn't say anything except "Computers have people on the other side. Don't forget that."
How "emotionally sensitive" equals gay is beyond me. Many "manly" men like professional wrestlers are gay.
And what do you mean "anyone ever notice misogyny only works towards women"? Of course it only work toward women. If it were against men, it would be "misandry."
zelda12346 7 months ago
so what I learned out of that is that women are either bitches or they cry alot over nothing. Nothing new there. I'm sure the only men in that are fine, and were just trying to get laid. This is not misogyny, this is true. Women are catty, emotional based creatures, and men are logical (yet competitive and aggressive), boner based creatures. Thanks for teaching me nothing. BTW, anyone ever notice that misogyny only works towards women? Wonder why that is... Derek is gay or in the closet as well

I seem to have trouble understanding these people. "I can be a complete asshole because no one knows who I am!" What does that say about the kind of person who thinks like this? Take away visual, sound, and touch, they are left with only the person they want to be, it's true you can fake things, but who do you want to be? You want to be an anonymous asshole? I guess you can be but it says alot about who you really are, what you will say to people when you cannot be named.

@aegisgfx You can argue with religious people but you have to do it well. Using well spoken logic and calling them out on logical fallacies should get you quite far, but you need to appeal to them emotionally as well.
And you need a clear motive too. Shooting down peoples religion for no reason just makes you a dick.
