YouTube Mass Hysteria

When fake or sensational videos are uploaded to YouTube and propelled by alarmist users into the mind of the general population, spawning urban myths, group-think, or panic.

"Dude did you hear that there is a hidden camera in your cable box watching you jerkoff?"

No way that's totally "YouTube Mass Hysteria "

Hispanicus Hystericus 

A disproportional emotional over-reaction to a crisis (or event) caused by an overstimulation of the limbic system that renders efficient function of the pre-frontal cortex extremely difficult.

Bystander #1: "Excuse me... why are they yelling and screaming like that? Are they OK?"

Bystander #2: "They have Hispanicus Hystericus. They'll be OK as soon as they calm down."

snow hysteria 

When the populace's fear of a snowstorm creates traffic jams and general panic way before any flakes even fall. Usually turns out to be a totally disproportionate response to a minor snowstorm.

Everyone is fleeing the office thanks to snow hysteria...but it isn't supposed to start snowing until 9 PM.

rape hysteria 

The result of Social Justice Warriors defining everything sexual men do as rape. It devalues the term, and can cause those who have actually suffered to be lumped in with the attention seeking ideologues. That and when a man is accused of rape, he is guilty be default with no chance to explain himself of prove innocence.

This rape hysteria is getting out of hand, I was called a rapist just for saying that girl looked hot
