YouTuber: “Casting Cockroaches + iPhone 7 Plus in Molten Aluminum!”

Dumbasses (probably a TikTok user): “this guy deserves a painful death for killing those poor madagascar hissing cockroaches. Those things are bred to be pets and he bought them to kill them 😢”

Normal person with brain cells: “Cockroaches cannot feel pain or emotions. Kill those bastards!”

Dumbasses: “I am actually crying from that video. I have hissers as pets and I couldn’t watch as he tortured those cute hissers. My hissers can feel pain and emotions, unlike you asshole”

YouTube: “This is animal cruelty. We need to give him a guidelines strike and delete the video!”

How dare you do that in my presence?'
