Read Aloud, Set to Strings

The comments section is a sewer, and anyone with a face and a YouTube channel knows it. Kelly Svirakova—MissesVlog—decided to read hers out loud, on camera, set to classical music. Which is exactly the right aesthetic choice for a horror show.

What lands in her inbox: When I see you, I want to come on your face. Someone needs to fuck you properly to fix your brain. Can you blow me? Those were, by her own account, among the grammatically stronger contributions. She reads them with a calm that makes the whole thing more damning than any outrage could. The music helps—it sits somewhere between absurdist comedy and documentary evidence of what women deal with as a baseline condition of existing online. Thanks, Kelly.
