Maybe I'm reading too much into it.
Sure, occasionally I'll get comments on my vids or channels that are a little unusual. I've had someone reference my "cute face" (to which I mentally responded something involving "prescription check") which was a bit odd, though it was within context, but that's fine. I've had a few trolls blast through from time to time. It's YouTube, frankly I'm surprised there hasn't been more. And then recently someone subbed to my channel whose profile said he was 15 (and the videos he posted seem to bear that out), which is a bit worrisome given the subject matter.
And then there's this.
I'm not even sure how I should parse that, much less respond to it. I didn't even know I had a lisp. My Ts can be a little sibilant at times, perhaps, is that what they're referring to? (I'm not sure if it's a male or female making that comment.) And that generalization there -- "you guys" -- is that, like, "you males" or an implication that my apparent lisp makes me gay? I couldn't really care less if someone thinks I'm gay -- hell, I've played up that angle when joking around before, so that's nothing new, but it makes it hard to know how to take or respond to a remark like that.
But maybe more to the point, is it weird that I get a kind of creeper vibe off that? It's completely out of context to the video it was posted to, though they do appear to sub to and comment on other E-cig reviewers (contextually appropriate stuff) so it doesn't appear to have come out of the blue. Just seemed kind of ... weird. Maybe I'm reading too much into it. The Interwebz have jaded me...

I will definetly watch your vids. I like your cute little lisp. Actually I like all lisps. Something about the way you guys drag your t's.
