I think I found out why Notch sold Minecraft.

To me, the video and this thread are about how kids can create the most cringeworthy awkward and funny situations without realising they're doing it. That one or two of the kids included in the compilation might have been disadvantaged in some way is sad, but I doubt very much that either the video or this thread was made with the intention of mocking disabled kids.

I take it you didn't see the countless comments saying, "what stupid kids", "just a bunch of kids asking stupid (retarded) questions", or even the thread title "I think I found out why Notch sold Minecraft." 

One can laugh at somebody being awkward without being insulting about it. 

I don't think the video or the thread specifically were targetting disabled kids, but definitely kids in general. 

@ Bolded - see my earlier posts addressing those points. In a nutshell, if the thread title had meant to be a serious attack on disabled kids, the thread would have been killed by now. Whether it's in bad taste or not is debatable.

And just because some of us who understand kids better doesn't mean that we weren't once as ignorant as those who posted the comments you've quoted just there. Read back for context.
