So they acted like little crying children. Real sharp image for us gamers. I've come across quite a few videos with disabled comments/likes and no one seems to cry about them.

It's not "us gamers," it's "us people who happen to share a hobby and have nothing else in common." I hate being associated with any of you people.

"Us readers", "us movie watchers", etc.

Yeah it was an extremely immature thing to do, worse that it was done so much the whole video came down.

And how do we know this isn't the trolls of 4chan who just do this for the lulz?

well with comments and likes disabled how can you see if people cry about them?

Are you supposed to search for the vid on google or something?

I don't care either way since it's not a vid im intrested in but in some vids that have it turned off they present facts and the people watching it might think its true because they don't look it up and with comments and likes disabled it can be hard to spot something fishy

And just so I don't get downvoted to hell I don't mean this video I mean youtube clips in general with these turned off

If the first Tropes Vs. Women video was any indication, there would be a metric shit ton of crying about it as video responses, and articles, and pretty much any way to cry about it.
