If you take the assumption of drug use out of the equation and YouTube never removes it, because it's just some guy grooving away, then what? It's still malicious? Because why?

Because I would hate to think the next time I'm closing my eyes and trying to wrap my around the music, while my body parts flail in whatever totally awkward way they do, that I'm not going to wake up and find people laughing at me on youtube.

I personnaly would laugh at myself but some other person may then be subject to local ridicule or harassment (say a young person getting teased about it at school), that would cause them pain, hence making the act malicious.
