David Dobrik responds to backlash after claiming he \u201chates nature\u201d Instagram: David DobrikAfter an onslaught of hateful comments, David Dobrik has responded to the backlash he faced for claiming that he \u201chates nature\u201d on his Views podcast with Jason Nash. As a huge YouTuber known for massive giveaways and wholesome content, Dobrik\u2019s comments, if at all negative, can cause a stir among his fans. In the episode in question, Dobrik explains at length why he \u201chates nature,\u201d and how outdoor activities really don\u2019t do it for him. \u201cI cannot describe to you how much I f***ing hate nature,\u201d Dobrik said. \u201cI never knew I could be so angry at something. I was hiking in the mountains, and everybody I saw, I was just getting angry at. I was like, \u2018Why are you here?\u2019 I was so mad!\u201d \u201cIt feels so wrong because everybody loves nature,\u201d he continued. \u201c\u2026what is so cool about something that\u2019s been there\u2026 for millions of years! What is so cool about that? \u2026it feels like everything I\u2019ve worked for has been erased. I\u2019m stuck with the dirt and the grass and the leaves.\u201d Angry commenters had a lot to say about his opinions on the world around him and on his attitude about something as mundane as nature. \u201cI don\u2019t justify it, but now I understand the hate that you get for being so closed-minded and kind of a d**k to your friends or the planet,\u201d one person wrote. \u201cI know that you have done great things like charities and donations. But DUDE, grow up a bit, you live in a bubble.\u201d (Topic begins at 5:45) https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3ojIoxBetvY But in the latest episode of Views with fellow YouTuber Jason Nash, they discussed the backlash Dobrik faced and read out Dexerto\u2019s article on the subject. Dobrik explained that fans misunderstood his intentions: \u201cI said I didn\u2019t like nature and by this, I didn\u2019t mean that I don\u2019t care about the ecosystem where I think you shouldn\u2019t recycle and I think you should litter. It was like I just literally do not care for walks.\u201d \u201cI wasn\u2019t joking about the actual nature but I was kind of like you guys are gonna really hate me for this. I didn\u2019t think people would actually get mad and people are pissed.\u201d Since the latest episode has aired, angry commenters are nowhere to be seen. It seems that the adamant defenders of nature walks have been appeased.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
