Pico from the curse videos

[Deleted]

Why do people hate her and critique every hand movement she makes?

If you want an idea, check out the comments of the most recent video on youtube, nobody even notices one thing about the actual content: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cR3bKbAjURM

For the record, I lover her.

[lwalker8]

Because most youtube comments are from 13 year olds, and that's what 13 year olds do on the internet.

It seems some people just have no life, and trolling at others expense makes them feel better about themselves.

I don't know, actualy. I kinda like her. She's more unique than your average reporter.

I guess.. some people just don't find her funny and are very vocal about it? =S

[agathangalos]

Its a cute girl talking about nerdy things, people have to get defensive rather than admit they just watch the videos to gaze longingly at her and listen to her voice but not the words.

[Theil]

I find the comments a hilarious cross section of the youtube community. A quarter of the people are commenting on the cute girl, another quarter are saying shes not cute. One quarter is trolling and--if you're lucky--one quarter is saying something relevant.

Haters going to Hate for what ever reason. She is a mildly attractive female doing a video for a highly popular site doing commentary on video games. From a female stand point, there's lots to hate. From the male stand point... I'm surprised it isn't more of an OMG a mildly attractive female doing video game content reviews.. show us your [deleted]! We won't proof!

[Letmesleep]

I think she's super cute. People on the internet just need something to hate.

[Eorayn]

Yeah it’s hilarious how far commenters go :/ kind of pathetic.

Personally, I don’t really like her. She has a little too squeaky voice, and it seems like she doesn’t know anything about what she is talking about herself, and is only saying what the producers fill her mouth with. Ehm, yeah :/ But I don’t hate her, and I certainly don’t post about it. Else than here..

Reading Youtube comments

I seriously hope, etc.

I think some people think they have to show a lot of body language in those types of videos. Too little is awkward but so is too much. I've always seen the link to the videos on the frontpage of MMO, today was the first time I actually looked at one.

I'd rather read for info that she reports on. I just don't watch those types of videos, closest thing would probably be wowcrendor.

because this is the internet and therefore White Knights exist.
White Knights started annoying the children on the internet and created a new breed of idiot that hasn't been named yet, i call em Blackguards because i played DnD.
Blackguards are the polar opposite of White Knights, these are the douchebags that hate indiscriminately on women and point out tiny flaws and if anyone counters them, they accuse that person of being a WK. in their mind you're either trying to get into a woman's pants by flattery or you "tell da hard fukkin truff" and rip women apart to try and seem cool. there is not middle ground for those sorts of people.

Pico is a fairly attractive young woman who does a pretty average job of relaying gaming news. because she's not perfect, but cute and good enough to attract WK, these BG feel the desperate need to counter balance the WK by tearing her apart.
the problem is that WK are purely reaction, by definition. they don't come in "to save the day" unless a woman is being attacked. BG don't feel this same compulsion and tend to make preemptive attacks, making them far more visible.

She's cute and does it well.

It all comes down to nerds hating cuz they hating.

[Bluesftw]

cause its interwebs , it feeds on hate.
Im not a big fan of her videos , got an impression she reads everything from script, seems very unnatural. Also i find fer voice mildly annoying. To each their own i suppose.

[Lyriok]

Trolls and haters gonna hate. Its impossible for everyone to like the same thing/person

Personally I think she does a great job plus she's not bad to look at.

[Kuuri]

I don't hate her, but watching her wave her digits around like an old Italian man constantly does annoy me greatly. Plus I find her accent a little tiresome.
She just makes me cringe.

I like where you're going with this. Might I recommend "Doucheguard" as a name instead?

True, I've just never seen one person so unreasonably targeted like she is. If she was causing some kind of media scandal, the intense focus would at least be logical, but she does almost next to nothing [bar reading the autoque] and people go out of their way to judge her tits/voice/posture '.'

i'm ok with Doucheguards.

Yea.. She is easily one of the most unreasonably targeted person. People will always be people... Only thing I could hate on her is why she's not in Aus and why I havn't met her! She seems like a good person. Sorry if I sound like a creeper :3
