I’m sure these freak events really happened, but it seems irresponsib(ru)le to make people feel like this might happen to them, just for views

Update: I have hidden channel names in the interest of letting people know this is criticizing the tr(ul)end, and not any specific YouTubers

Edit: If you’re here to discuss any particular YouTuber, please scroll down. I’ve already had this discussion, and I have nothing more to consider or add regarding this derailment. I’ve fixed the problem by posting an edited image. Thank you so much!

    Damn, I must be much more of a badass than I thought, having survived dogsitting my mom’s Cavalier King Charles Spaniel every week for several years!

        I always hated that song. And not just because it’s a prime example of conveyor belt pop excrement. That’s expected of hits nowadays.

        My problem is this: bat the fucking thing away like you were a cat! What are you doing CATCHING a live grenade, you utter fool?!

          It’s darkly twisted to envision a situation in which catching a grenade for someone would be warranted.

          Seems less than ideal in that the person you’re protecting would have to live with the trauma of witnessing that for the rest of their life.
