Sure, fine, whatever. lol but it's a video talking about the mermaid world and news??? LOL if you think mermaids are lame, why watch mermaid videos??? her profile is real... 'interesting'. In another post she said my book is dull. lol which 1) I'm sure she didn't read 2) yes, I would imagine if you don't like mermaids, you would find a book for mermaid businesses, dull. lol

I've been watching the 2008 Dyesebel series, and enjoying it, but like I said in the comment the subtitler didn't do a great job. Apparently the fact that I didn't stop and learn an entire language just to watch this show means I'm lazy or something. Heaven forbid an English-subtitled video get viewers who speak English.

Just got this oddball.
Good grief people are weird....says the guy in the rubber fishtail.
Was there any context?Quote:

do you know how many tweens get mad I say "v-log" instead of vlog? I took videography as a kid and a teen, before youtube, before vlogs even existed. Back then they were called video-logs or v-logs. That term has pretty much existed for as long as video has. But it drives people nuts that I say that instead of vlog. LOL. I think I will make a video trolling them where I just chant V LOG V LOG V LOG. lol
Not really a youtube comment, but a rather stupid kid sent me this fake letter. I only answered the first email, as I thought wth this is.

that one seems to be going around to a few mermaids. I saw a screen shot of something similar may even be the same name I'd have to check for sure
I found it on a website called 'fake letters', as I googled some parts of it. Hopefully people won't fall for it and do some research before answering.
hahahaha gotta love the fake "HERE LET ME USE YOUR AMERICAN BANK" emails.I used to get those. There's always some variation of the same story going around.
Theres a guy on YouTube, who does an entire series about the shenannigans that ensue once he answers these emails. He once told one scammer he would take the deal if he could get a free toaster. The stories are pretty amusing. I might have to go hunt down his channel now.
This whole thread has made me super excited to make a YouTube channel now 😂
Not youtube but I hate when people tell others to skip fabric tail and go straight for silicone and even skip practicing with a tail. The amount of people who think they can put on a 30+ pound tail without a lick of practice or preparation is terrifying,this is why I'm worried eventually tails will be banned in ALL pools because sooner or later there will be a news article about a mermaid who drowned

I was |---| this close to just going to silicone and then common sense rung out and my first fabric tail is arriving on Tuesday. I even went so far as to start doing yoga and keg exercises to build up strength for when I first put it on.Quote:

I love the non professionals trying to tell people how to be professional LOL
I swam in a fabric tail for YEARS before switching to silicone, and doing so DEFINITELY helps

And I've seen loads of believable/realistic fabric tails, so many that I'm considering getting one myself! (my old fabric is no longer useable)

If you happened to save any images of those fabric ones, I'd love to see them. So many people say fabric can't look real and I'd love to show them those pictures!Quote:

This guy trying to tell me how to swim better in a tail :P (20lbs was a typo, meant to say 10. But the point still stands.) Like yes, kicking more with your knees and mostly with your ankles, that couldn't possibly end badly. :rolleyes:
This person telling me that if I didn't touch my severely degrading tail, the paint would stay put, lol

Another commenter jumped in here, made me giggle XP
Which reminds me of this one, left on a photo of me and Raina together
Attachment 38605
Loved Raina's responses :lol:
I wish I had the screen shots but a 16 year old was lecturing me on how often I flicked my tail lol (I was at the surface showing off for photos and videos) and she's like "you should always so blah blah blah" and it was like um have you ever swam in a tail? "well no but I just started lessons for insert swimming style here" well cool that has nothing to do with swimming in a tail, I've been doing this 8 years, and your comments arent applicable.
I CANT STAND THESE PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE IN A TAIL AND THINK THEY HAVE IT FIGURED OUT ENOUGH TO LECTURE ACTUAL PROFESSIONALS.
Attachment 38642
this was in a reply to a video about childhood disorders where I offered up experiences having worked with a child who had a disorder described in the video.
What is up with weird people giving unsolicited advice and comments on someone's life.
Wow, that was really condescending. Reminds me of those backhanded "you look prettier without makeup" kinds of comments where people act as if the only reason you'd dress up a certain way is to please them. Nobody asked for your judgement, dude. It's not flattering.Quote:

Well, if you look at their profile, it's no wonder they said something so stupid. https://www.youtube.com/user/talitakoomi
Trump and conspiracy theories. It all makes sense now.
I usually don't respond to trolls, but this seriously made me laugh.

Call me a grammar police, but I just can't stand people that write hateful comments with bad spelling.
Please, learn how to communicate first, then offer unsolicited opinions. You will look less like an ass if you are, at least, writing them correctly.
I had someone comment on my unboxing video today, asking 'WTF were we watching on the TV' I thought it was hilarious.

And then there was this.... Removed it cause it looked like an account of someone whome I wish not to be in any kind of contact with:

Looks like instagram featured it! That happened to me too and I got 600,000+ views. So congrats on the feature. Sorry for the stupid comments!
Featured? O.O How? Where? What? I checked immediately from their own account on instagram but I don't think you meant that? :D But still cool, wow, and thanks :)
when videos get that many views it's usually because instagram features them and shows them to new people
