Every so often I get recommended true crime YouTube videos. I just find it amazing that the people in the comments are so stupid they’ll literally click on a video that’s a compilation of people getting arrested for doing crimes and act shocked and offended like they’re so pissed off that people would commit crimes. How slow does somebody have to be to intentionally look at a compilation of people getting arrested for crimes and then actually have an emotional response to it like they don’t know that people commit crimes? It’s like people need something to feel superior about so they go seek it out. But that’s not normal. A normal person will hear that a crime was committed, and then not care and move on with their day. Getting emotionally invested in stuff that doesn’t even affect you on a personal level is so weird. I don’t get it.
It’s literally just body cam footage of cops arresting teenagers and people in the comments are all pearl clutching like, "What’s wrong with kids today?" I don’t understand why people care.

I assume the sliding scale of terminally online has shifted. You're now getting grandmas and gradeschool kids in the comments section (along with the bots that trained off their data) - it's not just lost redditors anymore. Of course they are going to have shit takes on the seedy side of humanity.
