Anonymous blog comments, vapid video pranks and lightweight mash-ups may seem trivial and harmless, but as a whole, this widespread practice of fragmentary, impersonal communication has demeaned personal interaction.
When you write an article about anything, trolls use the comments to attack. They feel frustrated – but haters are losers. It’s not good to feed this aspect. It’s more intelligent to be constructive.
I don’t think it’s going to come as a shock to anyone, but Garrett and I have decided to end our engagement. Garrett and I came to this decision after many conversations. It wasn’t just something we just arrived at one night. It wasn’t based solely off of one Instagram post or somebody else’s opinions or comments.
I’d be lying if I said certain comments don’t affect you. We’re human beings. I had to zone out of it and had to take myself off social media as a player because I didn’t want to see it.
I see a lot of comments on Twitter and stuff about how ugly I am, how bad I am at the drums, how awkward I look, and I’m like, yeah, I agree with most of those things.
An assumption underlying almost all comments on interruptions is that they are aggressive, but the line between what’s perceived as assertiveness or aggressiveness almost certainly shifts with an interrupter’s gender.
The people I grew up around who I really liked were quick on the draw. It always just wowed me. And my mum would make weird funny comments. I can see in myself her self-deprecating, hippie humour. I can’t take myself too seriously.
I also love the makers of South Park, because they’re political, strong, and they’re making all of these comments that would get you shot for if you did it in a drama.
The biggest critics are in the comments online. People are so judgmental of me. It’s like, ‘Why is she wearing this?’ or ‘Why isn’t she wearing that?’ or ‘Why does she talk like that?’ That’s the worst because they’re judging for no reason.
The comments I most appreciate come from ordinary readers who’ve happened on one of my books at some time of stress in their lives, and who actually credit the book with helping them through a bad time. It’s happened a few times in forty years.
Although the views have gone up and the comments have gone up, I never drop a project and disappear.
There have been moments when comments have been made and because I’m strong enough to speak up about it, it’s helped me. Having the strength and confidence to speak up about racism is what matters. Some people don’t realise that what they are saying is wrong – they think it’s acceptable.
I hate YouTube sometimes because people put up things of mine that were never meant for consumption and also because of some of the comments people write about my videos.
You know me; I make some comments that aren’t really good.
When you hear people making hateful comments, stand up to them. Point out what a waste it is to hate, and you could open their eyes.
I got a lot of criticism online and a lot of harsh comments.
One of the top comments I get from people is, ‘Oh my God, you’re like a regular person!’ That’s kind of a bizarre thing to live with. I know a lot of famous people, and their lives may not be regular, but they are regular people.
I think it’s really easy for women that haven’t put on weight to make comments about other women’s pregnancies.
I try as much I can after every live performance to read all the comments my fans post on Facebook and Twitter, as this helps enormously for me to understand straight from fans what worked and what didn’t.
Dealing with negative comments is part of this job, and I’ve had to develop a thick skin, though some days it’s easier than others.
Credit to all the clubs, if there are incidents anywhere I think the clubs are very quickly on that and are banning supporters who are making racial comments. I think clubs are very much on top of what they see.
I don’t read the comments people write about me – it’s not worth it.
I avoid listening to too many people’s comments about my script. I have learned to take in what is of use. It’s too frustrating looking at somebody’s notes who didn’t get what you were doing. If somebody says, ‘This stinks, and here are all the reasons,’ that’s not going to help you.
I’m not going to lie, the first three years of being in the group, I would look for trolls. I would search Leigh Anne. I would look through Twitter and I would search Leigh Anne from Little Mix, the black girl in Little Mix, I would put these things in my search engines just to see the comments.
Even though you’re in charge, you’re not completely in ownership. You know, the audience takes a huge ownership of your show. Look at comments about shows and tell me if I’m wrong. Look at shows like ‘The Walking Dead’ and the ownership that the audience has of that show.
I focus on myself, but all these stupid comments you read on social media and journalists, it’s really stupid.
I used to get comments off people saying, ‘I think it’s a disgrace, you need to be relaxing, you’re pregnant, you need to take the next 10 months off!’ But that doesn’t suit me or my lifestyle or the way I feel about myself. I train a lot for anxiety, it makes me feel good and I like it.
I never take the comments made about me seriously. I just do my work.
Every time I hear someone making ignorant comments about the supposed ‘evils’ of homosexuality, I think about the true evil of the high suicide rates among gay and lesbian teens.
What I don’t like too much really is individual comments about the performances of the players after the game.
I had heard some women make comments about my chest, so why not show it off? Nobody wants to see a fat guy in tights. That wouldn’t be fair to the fans.
I’ve seen some of those comments and they hurt me a little bit, saying ‘This guy’s a cheater.’ And I feel like if you know me, you know my character, and just my person, you know that’s not what I would do, not what I would ever do.
I always separate myself from reviews, but tweets and Instagram comments, they go directly to my phone. It’s hard to keep up.
I get comments saying that I’m a leper, I control how my skin changes, I bleach my skin, my skin’s burned. None of those are true.
The most interesting comments, they don’t come from people with Klout scores. They don’t come from people with a history on our sites.
Either positive or negative comments are good because it shows I am still relevant.
We have a lot of comments on the news, we have a lot of rhetoric over what an immigrant is and what a deportee is, but you don’t hear any real stories. I don’t think we ever had the chance to really tell our side.
I know a lot of people who support football teams don’t care about fashion. For them, it can be quite weird to see someone looking very different. But I’ve learnt not to read the comments.
I read the viewer comments and that helps me decide what my next video will be.
The tenor of the comments as we got closer and closer to August got dominated by ‘Wouldja please get this over with’ and not let us go into default.
I avoid social media and articles with negative comments about myself, because the first few times that I got called ‘fat’ broke my heart; it absolutely destroyed me. It’s awful when someone says something like that to you.
I don’t know that a lot of boys read ‘Rookie’, but we get quite a few nice comments and e-mails from them. To say I’m devoted to making it girls-only is a little extreme, because I don’t actively try to exclude everyone else, just make sure girls know that this space is for them first and foremost.
I actually tried replying to what I thought were some unfair comments on the Internet once or twice, and I never heard back. What seems to happen with some people is they’re very much interested in voicing their own opinions, but not in having them challenged.
In the beginning, Babymetal received critical comments since the genre was new, but now we have an impression that Babymetal’s music is getting accepted and spreading as one genre of music.
I wish I could view the belly that oozes over the top of my pants as a badge of maternal honor. I do try. I make sure that the women whose looks I admire all have sufficient fat reserves to survive a famine, and I make a lot of snide comments about the skeletal likes of Lara Flynn Boyle and Paris Hilton.
For the general public or psychos on Facebook, for everyone who’s made one negative comment about me, I’ve probably gotten 250-300 positive comments.
We live in a society where people will watch erotic stuff and then pass comments on it.
As soon as I was getting YouTube comments and hit 100 subscribers, I was thinking ‘maybe there’s something to this. I could keep going. I don’t know how far I can really push it just reviewing random indie bands on YouTube, but it seems to have more gas in the tank.’
I could see that I was losing weight and sometimes I’d see a few good comments and that spiralled me to be like: ‘This is how I need to stay.’ No one cares whether your performance was good, or if you sounded great.
I have made comments in favour of British people getting jobs over and above those from southern eastern Europe.
In London, nobody comments on what you wear – they think that’s not important to you or your state of well-being.
On ‘Veep,’ people are connecting with each other, even if they’re making backhanded comments about somebody behind someone else’s back.
