It's unfortunately impossible to explain to people that the edgy internet humor culture of a decade+ ago is absolutely nowhere near the same as blatant, real nazis and other extreme right-wingers running rampant everywhere now and being in positions of power in governments all over the world. everything was done with an incredible sense of irony and yeah of course you'd get the rare actual psycho but only once in a while. Most people were being tongue-in-cheek teenagers and young-20-somethings discovering the internet for the first time and learning they could say Bad Words and nobody cared.
Half the Animutation videos I watched as a kid going "lmao this is so absurd, on purpose, to be silly and shocking" would instantly kill the average 25 year old internet user nowadays.
