The Christian YouTuber, Not Very Christian
Posted by Andrew | Filed under Internet Culture
My friend, Andrew Reed pointed this YouTube character out to me today. He’s the Christian YouTuber (username: ChristianU2uber), and he is twelve years old and wants to use YouTube to spread his knowledge of God. I’m all for this because I have found that everyone seems to be against God in almost everything. It’s okay for people to spread Religion in new and exciting ways, like on YouTube, but this kid is going about it the completely wrong way.
He posted a video called “hateful comments” asking the YouTube comment posters to think about what they are posting before they type it. That’s like asking a dog to stop wagging it’s tail. I know it’s bad and you really don’t want to hear any of it, but the best thing to do is to just ignore it. In fact, get your own website like I have so that you can just delete them and deny them the pleasure.
And don’t ever respond to them like this. Some commenters have been calling the kid a “homo” and the next thing you know, there’s a video of him almost crying and throwing a hissy fit about it. That really isn’t Christian. What else isn’t Christian is being angry at a toddler for calling you names and hitting you, its a toddler! he or she probably doesn’t even know better and yet you are taking it way to personally. I also love how he isn’t accepting his friend’s apology, but not to his friend, to YouTube. That isn’t Christian either, being Christian is all about “do unto others as you would have done unto you.” What if you were the one apologizing? Wouldn’t you want the other party to accept that apology?
By the way, a video where you claim you are going to hurt yourself and then start smacking yourself across the face and then hitting your head repeatedly isn’t a “very funny video.” No, it’s disturbing and suggests that you need to seek some sort of counseling. I definitely think that it is possible that this kid is just to immature to do what he is doing, he is taking the anonymous attacks from trolls to seriously and is sharing information that is way too personal for a public forum such as YouTube, where anyone can stumble across it.
