The title says it all. The haters who surf the waves of the world wide web are strange. VERY strange. I saw one of them today, commenting on a YouTube video. It was a live performance by Billy Talent, a Canadian rockband, playing the song Surrender. Sure, I couldn't read his first comment, 'cause it was downrated by 8, but at least I could read the 6 or 7 answers. The answers were pretty reasoned, but the one who commented the first post - DUDE!
Seriously; I have almost never, ever seen such aggressiveness at a YouTube video. He was complaining about how everyone who posted answers were gay (which is a common thing to say online, in case you live under a pile of mud), and how they were trying to hide it. He also mentioned, when someone mentioned that he didn't know anything about the band, that he grew up at the same time, in the same place as them, and that he knew everything there was to know about the band. According to himself, they threw paperclips (as in those small, sharp metal objects used to keep several pieces of paper together) at them in high school, during a talent show, because they sucked, and how they were such wimps because they didn't act as they "should have done". That last part was probably pointing at the text of the song, 'cause it goes "I never had the nerve to ask, has my moment come and passed?".
Okay, I'll break down my opinion on this.
1: If he hates Billy Talent, and knew that he did, why does he even bother to comment, or even watch the video? Silly man...
2: He claims that he is as old as the members of the band, or at least pretty close. That means that he is around 30-35 years old. Wouldn't a man in that age act more maturely than shouting "gay!" at people, and proudly boasting about tossing office-equipment at a band?
3: He accuses them (or maybe just Ben, the singer/songwriter) of being wimps, because the song is about Ben not asking a girl out because they are close friends. (Sure, I could write half a book about the different aspects and the use of metaphores, but I'll shorten it to that.) By the way the hater communicates, it seems as if he would approach the situation by either messing up the long friendship, or just force the poor girl.
Now, I know that I haven't experienced the hardship of life, and that I know everything, BUT I know that our hater-friend, here, is acting as the usual interwebz-troll. Please, oh pretty please, dear friends: do not hate when you are online. There are just 2 important rules then:
PEACE
AND
LOVE
On a more serious note: Please don't be a fucknut.
Over and out.
