          It must be the app I’m using. Asterisks work but not underscores for some reason.
          My bad.

          Edit: well shit it worked fine when I typed it what the hell

          Edit: and the original post looks fine now. Ignore this I think I’m going insane.

            You’re not going insane… probably. I edited the post to use asterisks which I assumed must be the more commonly used italic markdown. It might also be that the ™ is right after the markdown character which I know can cause some parsers to choke. YouTube’s comment system is a notable nuisance for this.

              YouTube cant recognize markdown for shit.

              Do underscores work there? Single asterisks bold characters, instead of the traditional double asterisk.

              Edit: it does work. Interesting.
