   "the comment I replied to is discussing if Russian subcultures or culture can seem Cartoonish." Why did you inserted 'subcultures' here? The smsm42 subverted the discussion of the robot fuckup with a russophobic comment

   You are right about the prison, I guess I missed both the word 'planet' and the prison name and filled in the blank, and made an unjust judgement of the author of the video. 'Seems like you watched 5min to just quickly find s
