You know what really bugs me? The fact that a lot of your videos clearly have a more humorous tone to them, that they are made for fun and entertainment, and people just take everything so seriously. It's like you absolutely cannot have a sense of humor on the internet. Sure some topics are serious, but it's more people are getting triggered because their fandom isn't loved by everyone. I just have a hard time picturing how some people survive in the real world if they can't even stand someone lightly making fun of a fictional character.

Even back when me and my friends identified as women, terves were the ones calling us transphobic slurs because of how we looked, and sent us death threats. They're not "protecting" anyone. They're the ones people need to be protected from.

[@JuliaN-fi9zw]

As a LESBIAN, and someone who has read every single one of SJMs books, Mor’s coming out was forced into the series. She was never even hinted as being gay until SJM needed that diversity. I personally hate it so much when people force diversity into books. I would rather not be acknowledged because at this point it is embarrassing and it isn’t even proper representation. You shouldn’t need to force diversity into your books, it should occur naturally and if you have to force it then you should reevaluate your characters

[@withcindy]

this is 100% how i feel. i would rather have no diversity than something shoe-horned by a creator who doesn't care at all and did it out of obligation

As a #typicalwhitedude, new viewer and someone totally outside your target audience, let me just say bravo. You are a person with compelling opinions, passion and humor. Sarcasm being the lowest form of wit is a total fabrication. Sarcasm is the ability to recognize the lack of wit in posers, deceivers and manipulators and is vital for survival in this occasionally fucked up world. 2 parts sarcasm + 2 parts kindness + 3 parts sincerity = being genuine. It is the reason bakers add a touch of salt in a cookie recipe. For my summation, I will stand upon the shoulders of giants and quote Samuel L. Jackson: " don't let this shit go to your head Cindy".

I don’t comment much but I want to let you know, I discovered you end of 2019. I binged a few videos and I laughed my butt off. You’re so articulate and hilarious. I’ve been in a horrible place physically and mentally for the past 4 years. I used to read books every single day since I was what 4? But then when I got sick I got sick of the world as well and just didn’t want to do anything anymore. Not even read. And then I find your channel and you made me laugh and cry and *want* to read again. And now I am. I’m not pushing myself to read as I used to. My husband told me a book a month and I’m well on my way. So thank you. Thank you very much Cindy, I wish you goodness in this world. ✨

[@withcindy]

thank you so much for the kind comment!! ❤️❤️

[@sighmanmade]

paul ENTIRELY missed the opportunity to be like "hi! i'm paul!" like from nickelodeon

[@lollinehuntarz]

i was also high while watching this video too and when the positive comments started coming I started to get the feels trip and crying, because you are truly an amazing person and you deserve all the love. you go, girl!

[@withcindy]

HAHAHA we can both go on a feels trip

[@sxwriter8569]

Cindy, girl you need a hug. Glad you have your friends, and honestly I still need to deal with loans, but like I'm trying to work hard. Sure it's extremely hard and I probably won't make it, but I legitimately enjoy your videos, and it sucks you had to go through all of that. Also you friends are so cool, wish I had a group Kirk that.

[@lillyhenry.mp3]

In my friend group, I’m the token white girl. I feel like Paul and I would get along, we are there for so many antics, so we could compare stories.

"first of all, misandry is good" god I love y'all

[@withcindy]

VIVA LA MISANDRY

[@LMJeffJones]

Im sitting here in bed crying along with you. People getting emotional over things that are important to them or they feel strongly about always makes me emotional too. I love you Cindy! I’m so happy you have such great friends.

[@withcindy]

thank you so much!! ❤️

Lol Cindy posts everything is dropped

Cindy: “Let’s read comments with irl friends, it’ll be fun” Cindy: *cries* Seriously though, this is proof that your videos lighten so many people’s days, including mine. There’s a reason you’re now at 118k subscribers right now and it’s because you’re so kind, relatable, and you make people happy. Keep on keeping on 💕

[@withcindy]

THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN AHHHH

[@aditibiswas3121]

You know what makes me happier than this video? The fact that cindy will get to read so many more funny, wholesome, and generally positive comments prompted by it. Also, I would like to apologise for assuming her sexual orientation in the past. I blame it on the pandemic (I quite recently discovered her), not meeting the other gays for over a year has broken my gaydar.

[@cleverhaunts]

The character development of Cindy, the stoner 😂 we love a relatable queen 👑🍁

[@withcindy]

happy 420 🍁

[@lumauve7807]

Alright, I squealed at Demon Slayer. Edit: Also, Cindy's vids are so enjoyable even though I am not even aware some of the books she talks about exist (especially the Exes and Ohs one)

[@nevilleandbooks]

You crying made me cry!! Also, I can't imagine how you handle both the positive negative comments all the time, my depressed ass would be affected by all of it!

[@withcindy]

it's a rollercoaster of emotions bayyybeeeee

[@mashzapotato]

Hey Cindy I don't really have the same taste as you in books but I like your attitude and quick wit so much I watch anyway! You're great!

[@withcindy]

thanks so much joseph!!

The queen has uploaded omg 💖 my research paper can wait. 👀

good luck on ur research paper!!

[@paola208]

@@withcindy Thank you, it's kicking my ass right now 😂 But I also just wanted to add that you never fail to make me laugh with your content and I look forward to every time you upload 💖 The people who write hate comments like that can stuff it 👀

[@AviSandy]

Thank you for this. This helps so much. I also have a new channel with my Chinese wife but every negative comment effects her alot. We (especially woman) need to have a very thick skin to be online. We all have to keep going and making great videos and somehow ignore these comments.

[@withcindy]

stay strong!! there are many others who will appreciate your content

[@mahneyelnaas3742]

Every time paul talks its just straight facts and reason. 10/10 competent human.

[@withcindy]

he's just spitting straight facts

[@purpurr707]

I poop like a ninja in public and like an opera singer in my house. Lol people taking offence for other people and going to conclusions is just so illogical and stupid it should be illegal at this point xD. Just wait for the people involved to reply and support them, don't jump the gun (omg my comment has a gun, run!). I'm gonna skip the sappy shit cuz Cindy, nuff said and she might cry cuz I can make you cry, people already know facts and other people have more meaningful things to say /o/.

[@withcindy]

no sphincter club

[@AdrianaDonado]

I found your videos like a week ago, and I'm enjoying binging them, I'm not being offended by anything, this is just a girl giving you content baby, pure entertainment. The last part of the video made me so emotional, you're so cool, you're someone who had it bad and turned that energy into something good. People leave hateful comments just because you're not the typical girl, you're not what they expect of women, but that is their problem. PS. I use ad block so I don't see ads on my pc, but baby I'll be playing your videos on my phone from now on, I want to give you that ad money.

[@withcindy]

ur right... im not like other girls LMAO

[@chichi-sw8qf]

hey Cindy

[@withcindy]

i'm so glad i can help in any way i can! hope you take care

[@tapiocababy1701]

I'm late but thank you for reminding me that like you said in the video, If Cindy can be successful than I can be be too. Edit: Also rewatching this video made me cry too. Near the end i was just reminded of a friend and Since I've moved I've havent seen them but honestly was a trash friend sometimes but theyre honestly a pure cinnamon roll and I'm so thankful to have them in my life. And if they never wanna be my friend again I wouldn't hold against them if they never wanted to be my friend. I'd just want them to be happy.

[@withcindy]

thank you so much! that is very kind of you to say. i hope that your friend wants to reconnect with you someday ❤️

[@SuperPao]

So nice that the good comments caused the emotions instead of the bad ones. Maybe karma isn't real, but paying it forward is, and you put a lot of positive energy out in the world (yes even when you're critical and cynical, because that shit's funny). Keep being awesome!

[@withcindy]

thank you so much!! ❤️

[@nayjashah7368]

I am so so late, the ending was sooo sweet 😭 it’s okay to give these sort of critiques not everyone is gonna agree even I disagree at times but as I have heard before critiques aren’t destruction of character they are purely attempting to balance the black and white and that’s important. I enjoy your videos a lot, I found them recently actually and I love your vents because it’s like my book rants are finally able to be voiced through you and that’s freeing. Thank you, and it’s okay you don’t got this sometimes, it’s okay to not be okay. 💜

[@olivia-rm2yk]

i love u 🥺 I REALLY LOVE YOUR CONTENT QUEEN 🤧 edit because i have more to say: ur super valid and your content makes my day. you're so funny and nice and i will fight anyone who hurts you :)

I was so happy when Cindy got emotional over the positive comments and wasn't fazed by the hate comments, like the title really freaked me out, but Cindy the QUEEN pulled through!

[@shioramenrabbit]

TIL, exactly as many people are missing the ability to recognize a joke as I suspected. Also also, damn a lot of people take books personally. Like, should somebody tell them it's okay to like something while also applying critical thinking to it? Or is that an attack on their belief system? Idek anymore
