Hello everybody. So I suddenly have this massive burst of energy and I don't know where it's come from.
(Coke Can Fizzes)
And I also have very limited space on this memory card so I'm gonna try and compact this shit down
I need to stop shouting, stop shouting, stop shouting
There's no one, there's no one, you are shouting at no-one.
I want to pass on my recently acquired wisdom and knowledge of how to deal with haters. Hater.
The word hater could be defined as a person who greatly dislikes a specified person or thing, or a negative or critical person
I don't, I just, I feel like every good thesis has to have a fucking dictionary definition.
Did any of you do that with your essays at school? You just bullshited in the opening paragraph, like, the definition of a word.
Fuck, I got an A.
Okay, tip number one make sure you know the difference between hate and constructive criticism.
News Flash!
There is a massive difference.
My bra strap is just falling down 'cause it's a fucking hater.
I never used to really be able to differentiate between 'constructive criticism' and hate.
But really it's pretty simple.
If someone is giving you feedback that you don't like,
But they are not trying to be rude about it,
And they are just trying to help you improve..
Constructive criticism.
Someone who is acting like a complete fucking bag of farts...
Is a hater.
If someone is trying to give you constructive criticism..
and you don't 'wanna take it and you think they're wrong,
Just politely say:
Thanks for your feedback, but you're wrong,
because of whatever whatever...
and just leave it, be cool with them.
And then that's it
Let's say for all intents and purposes, you have... a hater.
I think it's pretty fair to say,
I have had my fair share of hate.
Throughout my life, but mostly on the internet.
From fandoms..
And people that just want to see my tits.
Today, my tits have a naughty phrase in French.
I'm sorry French people.
Probably not nice.
Let's say you have a hater. Let's say you have someone that is calling you out for something you didn't do,
Calling you problematic-- Ok I'm getting too personal.
Let's say you have someone , that is just being a dick to you
Trying to get other people to be a dick to you.
The best fucking thing you can do, if you have someone like that, is ignore them.
And I know, I sound like your mother.
When you fucking tell the teacher at school "Billy punched me in the face." Oh yeah, just count to ten and walk away.
But online, it's so much easier to just ignore it.
There is nothing, that upsets a human more-- Apart from, like, maybe grief.
Then ignoring someone.
If they don't get ANY response from you,
Not even passive aggressive,
Or, just really full-out, you know.
Angry responses.
They will get so mad!
Just the other day I had someone that I considered my friend, try and shit on me online.
And you know what I did? Fucking ignored it.
'Cause it's fucking irrelevant to my life.
And now that person is irrelevant to my life.
If you ignore the shit you get,
They are the ones that look like a dickhead.
Not you.
I can't stress that enough!
If someone is giving you blind hate and you don't respond to it, anyone that sees that hate that's given, just thinks that they're a dickhead.
You can so read the Essex in me right now. "You're a fucking dickhead, mate !"
Aghh! Just fuck 'em, fuck 'em , fuck'em , fuck'em.
(Repeatedly) Fuck 'em , fuck'em.
Tip number two.
If you have any of those stupid websites that allow people to ask you questions anonymously fucking shut that shit down.
I think one website that's going around is that Ask FM, people still use it.
Back in my day, uh, there was one called Form Spring, it was the same thing.
And I used to get shit from people in my school.
'Cause , surprise I'm a YouTuber I was bullied right ?
Every single fucking draw my life ever.
Shut it down!
Don't let yourself be open to that kind of shit!
People are gonna be dicks, consistently, there will always be a dick in your life.
And if you're a lesbian that's a terrible thing.
Don't just let them fucking have open season!
Alright?
Make sure that if they're gonna go to the trouble of being a dick to you
They have to sign up with an email address and they have to get a username and they have to have a passw--
Most the time they won't even bother.
Because it's just too difficult for them
To really think about their hate, and that leads me on to number 3
Can't count.
Three!
Let's say you've exhausted all of these methods, you've tried ignoring them, and you've shut down all your anonymous question websites.
And shit.
Let's say you are still getting hate,
and it's still really upsetting you.
This is where we start analysing the shit that you're getting.
And I don't mean, like, going through your shit and finding corn...
I don't know why I said that, that's disgusting, that's actually fucking disgusting.
Read the hate that you got.
Read it out loud to yourself
Most of the hate online will just be generic, like slurs or just like "Fuck off, wanker!"
And all this stuff.
If you read that out loud, you just realise how little thought went into it.
I cannot stand mindless hate.
It's so stupid!
Just using one word, like: wanker, dickhead. Whatever
Even though I've used dickhead, like, six times in this video.
Dickhead!
Like, it doesn't mean anything!
They've just typed a word, and it took them like 3 seconds.
And they pressed send, that's it.
Thought didn't really go into it at all.
And if you get well-versed hate like, I'm talking hate that's really personal.
And specific to you.
That's aimed to, like, upset you.
Just think about the fact that someone had to sit there and write that, and really put effort into it, and just realise how pathetic they are.
When it comes down to it all hate is either mindless or just really pathetic.
Like personal hate used to really get to me
When people were like: Uh , you've changed
You're shit now, like that used to really bug me.
Now it just kinda (swoosh)
You know?
Fuck 'em, Fuck 'em, Fuck 'em , Fuck 'em.
(Repeatedly) Fuck'em !
If someone doesn't like your shit..
You do your shit.
You continue with your shit, in spite of them.
In summary, ignore all online hate that you get, just don't even respond to it.
Don't call people out.
Don't do this, like, 'quote-tweeting shit', like a lot of youtubers, like I have done in the past.
Don't quote tweet a hate tweet.
Cause it just makes you look really insecure.
I will admit, I still see youtubers quote tweeting hate and it just-- Grow up!
Grow up! I did!
You do it too!
You have like 80 years on this planet , or maybe more.
cause.. modern medicine.
80 Fucking years
Alright
Don't spend fucking hours being dragged through this shit.
With people defending you and people defending the other person.
It's such a wa-- fucking take up cross stitch!
Alright, learn to fucking surf.
I don't know, go camping!
Go and do some good shit with those hours that you would waste sitting at a computer saying:
Yeah well, I think you're being horrible to me right now!!
I know hate sucks!
I know it sucks serious balls !
But just ignore it, shadow ban people on YouTube, you can do that.
Mute people on Twitter!
Do what ever you have to do to just make sure they can't do anything without putting serious effort into it.
And most people won't bother.
Get rid of all of your options for people to ask you anonymous questions on Tumblr, Ask FM, whatever.
Don't check your indirects on Twitter that's something that I used to do a lot.
But it's the 17th today which marks 17 days since I've done it.
And you know what? I've never felt fucking better about what I do.
I also set it up so if I do ever go on it it just re-directs to Tomsdog.com
Just go on it , it's..
It's a happy website.
And if you do get hate that really affects you
Just read it back and think:
Is it really worth getting worked up over this?
I will see you guys in the next video!
Catch you later
Byeee!
Ah!
Fuck 'em, fuck 'em, fuck 'em, fuck 'em, fuck 'em.
(Fart sound)
