Leafyishere

Leafyishere makes sarcastic content on Youtube. He often makes videos that offend people, but one video he posted offended even his biggest fans. This video was about a man who wears a fedora and go's around recording himself. In the video that Leafy was reacting to the man whose youtube name is TommyNC2010. In Leafyś video he makes fun of the man's weight appearance style and personality. He often does this in the other videos he makes but in this one he did not realize that the man in the video was autistic. Leafy quickly took down the video and apologized on his twitter. TommyNC2010 made response video. ⬇

I think the main aspect that affected Leafyś video was immediacy. Leafy was not thinking when he posted the video and because of this he brought lots of hate on himself. Lack of control was also a big factor in this case because of how much this video blew up, I could not find out how many views Leafyś original video had but the response video that has over 4,000,000 views on Youtube. Permanence does not have too big of an affect on this situation because leafy's apology was accepted. Most people have forgotten about the incident.

There is a real problem with cyber bullying on Youtube that a lot of people think should be stopped. Leafyishere, Pyrocynical and many other Youtubers base their channel on satire content. I like many other people watch Leafy is here and Pyrocynical. I do think that Leafy’s  content is wrong and that some of his videos are a but to harsh but most of them are still funny. On the internet it is nearly impossible not to get bullied or yelled at. I am a frequent user of the internet and i know that something needs to be done about it.
