A youtuber has made a video about a place very close to my hometown and I tell u what so far he is not being very factual and the latent small town instinct to rip disrespectful outsiders apart in defense of Our Town has activated >:(

#theres an old airbase with abandoned housing units #BUT THE TOWNSHIP OF FINLAND IS VERY MUCH NOT ABANDONED which isnt as good oOoOo sPoOky content for your dumb channel but its actually hones #and also the people who live there are very much cranky about strangers fucking about (almost like they're used to annoying kids bothering #them while urban exploring. which is so fucking valid)#even i didnt go fuck around up there out of respect (and fear lol) of the folks up there who are just making the most of a $ depressed area #anyway im only 2 minutes into the video and this is what im already annoyed at #he's going ohmyGoDdD cRaZy i BeT its HAUNTED over the most milquetoast decay like its his first time exploring #the military activity poisoned the primary well and thats why people left seemingly overnight. it was just before the crash of 08 #so the people who were invested in turning parts of the old base housing into low income housing pulled out #WHICH YOU WOULD KNOW IF YOU DID ANY RESEARCH BEFORW GOING TO A PLACE MR OOO AND AHH #it's the fake sensationalism that gets my gears so ground #its very poor and many folks struggled with addiction and when they had to leave a bunch of stuff behind it wasnt for fun #oh ive got whopper of a comment in composition for when through this 40 minute peice of rudeness #as an urban exploring enthusiast myself im not bemoaning that part. it's the Contentification and Chills voice commentary that has me riled
