Between genuinely nasty people and just plain stupid ones, stupidity does far more damage than malice, I think.

I disagree, I think a lot of people have the desire to be as hurtful as humanly possible and the YouTube community is made up primarily of trolls. Sexism and racism is very common too.
When people make comments like "you're ugly now" and "you look like a dude" I think they are fully aware that these statements are hurtful to the person in the video.
Maybe some of these people are just really stupid and inconsiderate but that's giving them the benefit of the doubt.
I think a big reason so many people on the net are douchebags is because they keep a lot of their anti social sentiments pint up because of how society sees them. On the internet you have anonymity and when you have anonymity you can be as big of a jerk as you want to be. Maybe you've seen this.
And this pretty much sums up the internet better than any other picture that google images can provide.
