I made an anecdote, Commentator didn't like it and said not everyone is like me,I reminded them that not everyone is like them either. We don't have to agree, especially on shit like allergies which we don't control. People on here just wanna fight

I see. There's the disconnect. You offered both an anecdote and an objective statement. You called the comic inaccurate, as well as stating what happens as though it's a universal experience. And then you offered an anecdote. The response was geared towards your first couple remarks, not the anecdote. They were snarky about it, but the sentiment is true. You were speaking for everyone, not just yourself. Your retort doesn't make much sense because they weren't doing the same thing.
