    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.
