In the comment section of a video I watched recently, many people were seemingly really offended by some guy wearing a t-shirt with 666 on it (hexbear.net)

Are metalheads and goths just not a thing anymore? Why are all these young people reacting like religious grandmas from the 70s? I wore band shirts with upside down pentagrams and crosses all the time in high school. Edgy satanic imagery is about as subversive as skateboarding or pissing Calvin

The last great mainstream comment section I saw was on a NYC local news video about the CEO being shot right after it happened, nearly entirely praising the shooter or saying "well, you can't feel that bad". Google et al won't let that happen again.

yeah good point. and i remember legacy media ran a blitz of commentary-presented-as-news doing finger wagging and brain storming punitive steps that could be taken.

similar to when charlie jerk got clipped and people were posting "lol" instead of shock/outrage/tears over a fallen prince.
