taylor swift honestly has a misogynistic past and now she's like this "feminist icon". like obviously someone can get better and grow but i've criticized her misogyny myself and all her fans were like "uhhh... would you do that to a man? you're misogynistic"
@yassi jass wanting to be “different” or hating popular girls as a girl is a little misogynistic. It’s not on purpose though, it’s ingrained subtly into girls at a young age
@yassi jass only misogynistic things that comes to mind was the song better than revenge, but in the miss americana documentary she said herself that she was working on unlearning internalized misoginy that had been ingrained into her.
@yassi jass its still misogyny... like comparing it to something i experience, homophobia. if i went through a phase of talking shit about gay people generally, i still spread homophobia out in the world. just because "everyone else did it" i still am responsible for my own actions and the fact that i said and did things like that. even if she didn't mean it or whatever, doesn't mean i can't criticize it. she still did it. if we couldn't criticize something because "oh well everyone else does it" then progress couldn't ever be made tbh.
For all the other Kurtistown Swifties who are worried: Kurtis was making fun of misogynists who hates on Taylor for no reason, but some Swifties didn't realize it was sarcastic and thought HE'S being misogynistic.

Yeahhhh... the Twitter Swifties are vicious. A lot the time it’s just unhinged, funny memes or them bringing other fandoms down a couple pegs. But sometimes this happens... they’re so used to having to go off to defend Taylor (rather than take the “I’m gonna make fun of this idiot” approach Kurtis used) that sometimes they won’t even realize when someone on our side
hey! this is for the girl on the advice session. i went through something very similar with my family and my church a few years ago and i know how hard it is to keep your hopes up. somedays i genuinely thought my life was gonna be this bad forever. and although i dont know your specific situation, i can tell you, it wont be. you will get out of this one, you will find a way. lean on the people you feel supported by, let them help you in any way possible. im sending you all my love and strength all the way from argentina.

@@stinkystink7129 hi ava! i was wondering why cant your father look for other churches that are more accepting? I was thinking the same thing as kurtis- but i wanted to know what stops that from happening. are pastors stuck with the same church forever? i hope this isnt rude- i am pretty ignorant on religion. everything WILL get better- and you will absolutely look back at this period and be so proud u made it thru!!!
Hey Kurtis!! The podcast was amazing as always, really started my day on a great note! It was really refreshing to hear what you thought about religion and I can completely relate. The Taylor swift bit, words can't explain how much I laughed. Just wanted to say I really needed this episode today, thank you mega! Have a happy Wednesday!
The witch in Hansel and Grettel (along with a lot of other villains) are most likely depicted with large noses because of anti-semitism beliefs that used to be super common
as a religious muslim gay person, i get that other lgbtq+ people have different experiences with religion than i do and might have negative feelings towards religious people and religion. that's completely understandable, but i also really hope y'all can at least use your critical thinking skills and distinguish between conservative extremists and actual spiritual/religious people before judging us
@@charlotteklein6906 yes I agree! I hope kurtis can talk about the difference between really good religious people of all kinds of religions and the extremist Christian fundamentalists that spread a lot of bigotry. So many of my friends are Jewish and also LGBT like me and they are so amazing. Jewish people are some of the most accepting people of any religion I feel like, sure there’s extremists, but that’s every group. I also know so many wonderful Christians and Muslims that just want to spread happiness and love and follow their beliefs but don’t force it on others! I’m a non theistic pagan and agnostic and it would be cool if he talked about paganism tbh! We’re the opposite of those extremist Christians lol. And I feel like there’s a lot of misinformation out there about paganism and it would be so fucking cool if he could spread awareness on all kinds of religions while also criticizing the extremists. Religion is so amazing and there’s so many different religions and different forms of each religion we can’t generalize all religions. I’m assuming what Kurt is mad at is fundamentalist Christians who shove their religions on others and spread hate and justify it “because god said so”.
@@charlotteklein6906 there are a lot of non white non Christian conservatives so I don't really understand why you link to especially white people christianity? Might be because I'm not American but where I live there are a lot of very homophobic and conservative Muslim and Jewish people.
while i agree with the main message of your comment, there are “actual” religious people that are conservative, homophobic, etc. i think it’s dangerous to hint at a ‘no true scotsman’ type argument bc it kinda lets people brush off the bigotry within their religious community like “anyone that believes x is not a real y. real ys are never z-phobic!!” instead of examining what led to those beliefs within their community.
@@silverbluetooth yeah i agree! i do personally think that my religion is deeply flawed and there should be more intra-community discussions about that. i also acknowledge there are people who are genuinely religious and use their religion as an excuse to be bigoted. however, my main point was that i don't like people criticising and generalising every religion when they obviously don't know much about them, or immediately assuming every religious person is a homophobic bigot when literally there are atheist homophobes y'know what i mean
sarcasm can sometimes be hard to read over text but that tweet could not have been more fucking obvious if it had jumped out of the screen and screamed SATIRE holy shit. twitter stans are wild
Oh my gosh. 31:53 - That’s me! That’s my post! I’m so incredibly shook right now. One minute I’m chilling, watching ✨The Pod✨, the next minute the Mayor himself is talking about my reddit post - what a time to be alive (also I think it’s great that Kurtis golfs, it’s genuinely funny in the best way)
The question for advice about staying home with the dog was so wholesome and sweet 😭😭😫😫 My pets mean so much to me and if I couldn’t have my pets with me with whatever I do, then I don’t want to do it!
Hey kurtis, sometimes I get really anxious about life in general and I just want to say your podcasts always seem to calm me down and help me feel relaxed when things seem too much. Keep doing your thing, I and many others really appreciate it.
to the 14 year old from the advice segment: you are so valid, and kurtis & kurtistown citizens all love you!!! we support you, and while im not sure what to do in that situation stay safe and stay true to yourself!
I know no one will see this but I just want to say this. I’m Catholic. I’m a lesbian. I’m very liberal. All my family are supportive and are also very liberal. And yet there is part of me that does take it personally when someone makes points about why my religion is bad (even if I only believe in what I think to be morally right, like being charitable etc). I think it’s just a very personal subject. I’m beginning to learn to not take it personally, but it does still hurt a bit, especially since I’ve been called an idiot for being religious. I don’t condone people getting mad BUT I do get why they get so hot-headed. Also I think I should add. When Ireland had the same sex marriage referendum our priest literally said we should vote for it. Catholicism (at least apart from America from what I can tell) is now pretty forward thinking. The pope donated money to trans sex workers during the pandemic because they were out of a job
i completely get what you mean! i'm not religious myself, but if it makes you feel any better, (most of the time) when people complain about religion, it's about those who are dicks, not at all the religion itself i'm bad at wording things but hopefully that made sense aaa
You’re definitely not an idiot for being religious. People making generalizations about other people is annoying, that’s probably why you feel angry! There are plenty of wonderful religious people, and they shouldn’t be lumped in with horrible religious people. I think you’re right not to take it personally though. I try not to take remarks about “groups I belong to” personally either. There’s so many people who just can’t think deeper than labels. I see it everywhere now with EVERY SINGLE topic. It’s so unbelievably tiring.
people who don’t like christianity (or any religion for that matter) understand it’s a personal subject for people who follow that religion and you should think about how it’s probably a very personal subject for them too. when people comment on not liking christianity it can be because of what the bible teaches, they could have possibly been mistreated or abused by christians who use their god to condone their actions, etc. and like 95% of people understand there are good christians out there. also people have the right to be mad and upset about christianity, just like you have the right to be upset if someone wrongly insults you for you following christianity.
I recently, as in this month, found yours, Danny's, and Drew's channels. They're all I've been watching ever since and I pay for other streaming services. They're being neglected but I'm having a good time!
as a taylor fan and a citizen of kurtistown...idk what to tell you, man. they just didn't get the joke since a lot of the time over the internet, it can be difficult to tell when someone's being sarcastic. my entire swiftie family and i still love and support you, mayor. :)
I'm also a pastor's kid and gay. My parents said a similar thing, that they don't want me coming out because it would hurt my dad's job prospects (he was looking to pastor a new church at the time). This really hurt, knowing my mental well being isn't as important to them as his own image to a group of strangers. To me I think I came out before I should have and this kid was outed so they weren't prepared either. This whole thing was hard for my parents until we just all stopped talking about it and now they completely ignore it and act like they forgot. This kinda hurts but I think it's better than going through something like conversion therapy or being kicked out of the home. It might not be what anyone wants to hear but maybe trying to move past it without upsetting them further would be good. Physical safety is so important. When you're financially stable and able to live on your own it will be so freeing, but you'll probably have to wait until then. I explained to my parent's that I was still religious and didn't see being gay as a sin because honestly if you look into it it's not. Which I could explain all day but I'd recommend doing research and writing down what you find and giving it to your parents. They probably still won't accept it but maybe also don't push them too hard in case it has the opposite effect. If you don't keep bringing it up they might stop as well and this honestly, as sad as it sounds, could really be the best option for now.
That first kid who asked for advice, if you read this, please remember that no matter what you are loved. So much. I was raised in a similar situation, and it sucks, but just remember that your well-being and happiness should be more important to your dad than his job. You're so brave, and strong. If you want to talk you can reach out to me.
hey! its me, the person from the advice thing. i recently dmed kurtis telling him to take out my advice segment, bc unfortunately my brother found out about this video and i dont him telling my parents. anyways, kurtis took out my segment , so i would appreciate it if u could maybe delete this comment just in case my parents look through the comment section? i really really appreciate this comment tho its so so sweet❤️
We can tell Kurtis never heard German fairy tales or stories overall. If you find Hänsel und Gretel aggressive, what would you think about Struwwelpeter where a bunch of kids starve, burn, get their fingers cut off, get dyed with ink, drown again...
You know, there's an episode of American Dad that makes fun of Germans having a bajillion folk tales through Klaus the fish and your comment reminds me of that lol
To the 14-year-old who is struggling with their father's acceptance of them: my heart goes out to you. You are far too young and innocent to bear the pressures of your father's career and your family's livelihood. Honey, that is just not your responsibility, and anyone who makes you feel like it is is just dead wrong. I can't imagine the fear and sadness you must feel. But if you can at all, please try your best to assert yourself and your feelings to your father. The choices regarding his career are on him and not you. As his child, it is his responsibility to what is right by you. Unfortunately, your only weapon in this scenario is to ask that of him. Whatever choice he makes, just know that you are a wonderful soul with so much to offer. Others opinions are a reflection of themselves, never a reflection of you. I hope the very best for you, and if you read this comment, I hope that in some way it has offered you comfort. ❤️
thank u so much... this is very helpful. my dad doesnt think its a sin, its more so that he’s uncomfortable with it . i have been able to convince him that its not a choice nor a sin:)
To the advice person, my heart goes out to you❤️ I’m going through a similar situation (thinking I might not be straight but in a Christian household) yet not nearly so severe. I hope it gets better for you ❤️❤️

I know they may not see this probably but I really wanna say that I support the person in the advise segment. We hear you and maybe not completely but understand a part of how you are feeling. My advise on what you can tell him is that this way you are hiding a part of yourself, which probably also affect your mental health so much, may sound like a choice you can do but it certainly isn't, just like your sexuality, and it can't go forever. Him getting a job in another church that is more accepting seems like the best way. I know it's easier said than done and I'm not saying that you should do something a teenager on the Internet says who isn't qualified in anything says but I'd say try to convince him to some alternative options to change his current job because no one's job should be controlling that much for someone and their family that they have to worry about who they are, getting that therapy to change a part of their identity and move to an another country so making him realize how messed up that is may be the way to go. I'm really not informed about if he change his church what happens like will he get less money, will his reputation get damaged or is that even a option so I apologize. But the biggest thing he should think about is that if one day you get a partner who loves you so much, and I assure you it will happen you deserve the best, they will love you as the child your father raised and taught not someone who got forced to not be themself and told you to be ashamed of who they are as a person. I wish nothing but the best on your way.
just want to say that i am their best friend and i sent them a screenshot of this and they strongly appreciate this message. they were texting me saying how happy they were and how much they meant to them. thank you.
The first thing in the advice segment really hit hard because I have Mexican parents who are homophobic and she said if I ever liked girls I wouldn't live under her roof, she doesn't know I'm bi. I love you so much Kurtis you've helped me through so much and you're an escape to me, you saved me and I will forever love you ur just an incredible human being and we need more people like you
for the person who wrote in for the advice segment: know that you're not responsible for your whole family being supported, or for keeping the roof over everyone's head. that isn't your burden. you should prioritize your own well-being and emotional safety. I know being 14 and independent can be really hard, especially being gay and not being able to be out. it does get better once you move out. I'd suggest reaching out to others with similar situations, maybe on the internet if not IRL so you have that support while you still live with your family. as for what to tell you dad, be honest with your needs and what you're feeling. take care, know that you aren't alone in this and you're not wrong for being yourself.
the person is my best friend. thank u sm for saying this, ik theyll really appreciate it. i’m going to screenshot and send this to them. have a nice day!
I'm a HUGE swiftie and have been watching kurtis for the last few years and is one of my favourite people on here and here's my take on this matter- There's a reason why twitter is considered to be the most toxic social media platform lmfao. Literally everyone on there is extremely sensitive and get butt hurt by anything anyone says and believe nobody has the right to hate on someone they "stan". Grow 👏🏻tf 👏🏻up 👏🏻
And the fact that the tweet is like 8 years old is making it even more clear that stans on twitter only look to put down literally anyone "hating" on their favs (worst part is he wasn't even hating on her)
For the second email on the advice segment, there's nothing wrong with taking a gap year, especially if you're questioning it! I graduated high school in 2018 and I do plan on going to college but I haven't yet for financial and health/mental health reasons. I used to feel really bad about it, but I've heard from so many people that they wish they waited for some reason or other, and I always hear about people in their 30s going back to college. So I think there's absolutely no shame in taking a gap year, especially for your puppy! (Dogs of all ages are puppies, change my mind) Besides, you can work for that year and have some money saved up for college
good to see the comments and know i wasn’t the only person who thought, “i’ve got answer, but you’re not going to like it” when kurtis asked why witches always have big noses
I don't go to church anymore, but luckily for me my parents respect that decision and are very respectful about it, I can't imagine what I would've done if they thought that conversion therapy was a good idea.
Everytime he says imma wrap it up, it feels like when your parents tell you to come back home with them after having a great time playing at a friend's house after school, and it hurts...
ok listen as a swiftie and a member of kurtis town, i can tell you what happened here because it's two things: 1) taylor hasn't been active for a while and twitter swifties are literally bored and jump on any occasion to get into drama and whatever like they're losing their mind basically. i'm on swiftie twitter and they're literally fighting each other sometimes because that's how bored they are lmao plus a lot of them *are* young like you said but also a lot of them aren't from the US so they might've misunderstood the sarcasm because of that. 2) we're all so defensive of taylor on twitter especially because of what she want through in 2016, it's in her documentary in miss americana, but back then there were thousands of viral tweets hating her for the dumbest shit (like you pointed out) and also just making things up (like when the alt-right decided that since she wasn't vocal about politics she was one of them), so literally anything that sounds semi-mean a lot of swifties jump on it so quick. if it helps, i follow most grown swifties on my account and i never saw your tweet come across or even saw anyone talk about your tweet, so it clearly was an annoying probably young/probably prone to cause drama for no reason corner of swiftie twitter that got you lmao
Bro that first advice story broke me. I cant even fathom how hard it must be for them. Im scared to come out and my parents are super supportive so i cant imagine what theyre going through. If youre out there i hope youre ok.
yo Kurtis!! I know u didn’t ask for advice, so pls feel free to ignore this, but Dream Cream from Lush is the only thing that ever got rid of my eczema. Would highly recommend king 🐝
hiya! to my friend in hamilton worrying about a gap year- i encourage it! i took 3 gap years, worked full time reception and saved a ton of money for school, and then on top of the money i saved, i was able to get my whole forst and second year tuition covered by OSAP (so far, possibly next year too!) all becUse i worked full time for two years and am no longer considered dependant on my parents :)

But sometimes this happens... they’re so used to having to go off to defend Taylor (rather than take the “I’m gonna make fun of this idiot” approach Kurtis used) that sometimes they won’t even realize when someone on our side
@@CleverUsername69420 yup. twitter stan accounts bring out the worst in people
so sad to hear that kurtis used to have eggs on the backs of his legs when he was a child :/ hope he’s ok xx
and that they're back so sad 😭
wow the kurtosis factor on this episode is insane
hey! this is for the girl on the advice session. i went through something very similar with my family and my church a few years ago and i know how hard it is to keep your hopes up. somedays i genuinely thought my life was gonna be this bad forever. and although i dont know your specific situation, i can tell you, it wont be. you will get out of this one, you will find a way. lean on the people you feel supported by, let them help you in any way possible. im sending you all my love and strength all the way from argentina.
thank u sm, seriously this means a LOT!! its so nice to see that sm other ppl care, truly this is so sweet of u❤️🥺
@@stinkystink7129 ow im so glad you found the comment 🥺. this may sound weird but if you ever need to talk to someone, my instagram is _valhs. just in case you need to
@@___vval omg tysm... that means a lot!!! i will do so!!
@Emily Hume omg im so sorry for u , i totally agree it feels so nice to see others can relate❤️
@@stinkystink7129 hi ava! i was wondering why cant your father look for other churches that are more accepting? I was thinking the same thing as kurtis- but i wanted to know what stops that from happening. are pastors stuck with the same church forever? i hope this isnt rude- i am pretty ignorant on religion. everything WILL get better- and you will absolutely look back at this period and be so proud u made it thru!!!
kurtis...i’m blowing off algebra for this-
pretty sure everyone in kurtistown sucks at math tho so i’m good...
oh yeah 😎😎😎
Not me 😌✋🏻💕
not me and yes to brag but i’m a year ahead
@@Skipsenberg luckily i didn’t say not to brag luv
i have a b- but i cheat most of the time so yeah
i seriously thought the five min video was gonna be the podcast for the week
Same lol
Taylor? I hardly know her!
AHAHAHA
HA
YES, YOU DID IT
the cosmic inevitability
With my stupid foreign accent I said it Tay-lohr and I didn't get the joke but now I applaud you virtually. Woo!
Hey Kurtis!!
The podcast was amazing as always, really started my day on a great note! It was really refreshing to hear what you thought about religion and I can completely relate. The Taylor swift bit, words can't explain how much I laughed. Just wanted to say I really needed this episode today, thank you mega! Have a happy Wednesday!
LOOKS LIKE POD’S BACK ON THE MENU BOYS. And in the morning too, an early gift from our most generous Mayor
The witch in Hansel and Grettel (along with a lot of other villains) are most likely depicted with large noses because of anti-semitism beliefs that used to be super common
i love that jacob’s sleeves are different colors so it looks like it’s another person touching his face and holding the mic
I really had the audacity to read this title and doubt Kurtis for a second.🤡
He obviously didn’t do anything wrong, it’s our Kurtboy !!!
But but the thumbnail lmao
he talks about the taylor swift stuff at 21:20
you’re the best :D
Wholesome

Kurtis: "why do witches always have big noses??"
Jews watching: which one of us should tell him,,,,,
as a religious muslim gay person, i get that other lgbtq+ people have different experiences with religion than i do and might have negative feelings towards religious people and religion. that's completely understandable, but i also really hope y'all can at least use your critical thinking skills and distinguish between conservative extremists and actual spiritual/religious people before judging us
I agree! I trust kurtis to do it respectfully tbh.
@@charlotteklein6906 yes I agree! I hope kurtis can talk about the difference between really good religious people of all kinds of religions and the extremist Christian fundamentalists that spread a lot of bigotry. So many of my friends are Jewish and also LGBT like me and they are so amazing. Jewish people are some of the most accepting people of any religion I feel like, sure there’s extremists, but that’s every group. I also know so many wonderful Christians and Muslims that just want to spread happiness and love and follow their beliefs but don’t force it on others! I’m a non theistic pagan and agnostic and it would be cool if he talked about paganism tbh! We’re the opposite of those extremist Christians lol. And I feel like there’s a lot of misinformation out there about paganism and it would be so fucking cool if he could spread awareness on all kinds of religions while also criticizing the extremists. Religion is so amazing and there’s so many different religions and different forms of each religion we can’t generalize all religions. I’m assuming what Kurt is mad at is fundamentalist Christians who shove their religions on others and spread hate and justify it “because god said so”.
@@charlotteklein6906 there are a lot of non white non Christian conservatives so I don't really understand why you link to especially white people christianity? Might be because I'm not American but where I live there are a lot of very homophobic and conservative Muslim and Jewish people.
while i agree with the main message of your comment, there are “actual” religious people that are conservative, homophobic, etc. i think it’s dangerous to hint at a ‘no true scotsman’ type argument bc it kinda lets people brush off the bigotry within their religious community like “anyone that believes x is not a real y. real ys are never z-phobic!!” instead of examining what led to those beliefs within their community.
@@silverbluetooth yeah i agree! i do personally think that my religion is deeply flawed and there should be more intra-community discussions about that. i also acknowledge there are people who are genuinely religious and use their religion as an excuse to be bigoted. however, my main point was that i don't like people criticising and generalising every religion when they obviously don't know much about them, or immediately assuming every religious person is a homophobic bigot when literally there are atheist homophobes y'know what i mean
kurtis after knowing that he could be found in a graphic: - insert vine - look at this graph!
sarcasm can sometimes be hard to read over text but that tweet could not have been more fucking obvious if it had jumped out of the screen and screamed SATIRE holy shit. twitter stans are wild
I think it’s funny that the Taylor episode is 131 and she’s 31 lol wow lol lol.
And she’s obsessed with 13 damn
i was just gonna make a comment about it lol, it's really fitting
you made a joke about her? ur done >:((
@@peri6239 uh oh
Wow wow lol lol laughing out loud lol wow
Oh my gosh. 31:53 - That’s me! That’s my post! I’m so incredibly shook right now. One minute I’m chilling, watching ✨The Pod✨, the next minute the Mayor himself is talking about my reddit post - what a time to be alive (also I think it’s great that Kurtis golfs, it’s genuinely funny in the best way)
That post was the best lol
The question for advice about staying home with the dog was so wholesome and sweet 😭😭😫😫 My pets mean so much to me and if I couldn’t have my pets with me with whatever I do, then I don’t want to do it!
Me being in Stats and hearing Kurtis talking about standard deviation, after just having a whole lesson on it yesterday: 👁👄👁
Hey kurtis, sometimes I get really anxious about life in general and I just want to say your podcasts always seem to calm me down and help me feel relaxed when things seem too much. Keep doing your thing, I and many others really appreciate it.
“ you left me
because i gaslighted the fuck out of youuu” is my favourite part.
My ex husband needs to hear this song
to the 14 year old from the advice segment: you are so valid, and kurtis & kurtistown citizens all love you!!! we support you, and while im not sure what to do in that situation stay safe and stay true to yourself!
omg tysfm🥺❤️
I know no one will see this but I just want to say this. I’m Catholic. I’m a lesbian. I’m very liberal. All my family are supportive and are also very liberal. And yet there is part of me that does take it personally when someone makes points about why my religion is bad (even if I only believe in what I think to be morally right, like being charitable etc). I think it’s just a very personal subject. I’m beginning to learn to not take it personally, but it does still hurt a bit, especially since I’ve been called an idiot for being religious. I don’t condone people getting mad BUT I do get why they get so hot-headed.
Also I think I should add. When Ireland had the same sex marriage referendum our priest literally said we should vote for it. Catholicism (at least apart from America from what I can tell) is now pretty forward thinking. The pope donated money to trans sex workers during the pandemic because they were out of a job
Yeah, I understand you 😔 my family is very religious, but i'm literally afraid of saying it, because so many people now hate christians
i completely get what you mean! i'm not religious myself, but if it makes you feel any better, (most of the time) when people complain about religion, it's about those who are dicks, not at all the religion itself
i'm bad at wording things but hopefully that made sense aaa
You’re definitely not an idiot for being religious. People making generalizations about other people is annoying, that’s probably why you feel angry! There are plenty of wonderful religious people, and they shouldn’t be lumped in with horrible religious people.
I think you’re right not to take it personally though. I try not to take remarks about “groups I belong to” personally either. There’s so many people who just can’t think deeper than labels. I see it everywhere now with EVERY SINGLE topic. It’s so unbelievably tiring.
people who don’t like christianity (or any religion for that matter) understand it’s a personal subject for people who follow that religion and you should think about how it’s probably a very personal subject for them too. when people comment on not liking christianity it can be because of what the bible teaches, they could have possibly been mistreated or abused by christians who use their god to condone their actions, etc. and like 95% of people understand there are good christians out there. also people have the right to be mad and upset about christianity, just like you have the right to be upset if someone wrongly insults you for you following christianity.
I recently, as in this month, found yours, Danny's, and Drew's channels. They're all I've been watching ever since and I pay for other streaming services. They're being neglected but I'm having a good time!
Nobody gonna talk about how he said “recommend that white dog” instead of RECOGNIZE ? lol☠️
Sending love to the person who wrote about their dad, that seems like a stressful situation and I hope one day he'll be able to understand
kurtis: imagine if you put an ad at the end of your video
also kurtis at the end of his video: this video is sponsored by hello fresh
I get so much joy from mouthing the “pow pow pow” in the Kurtis corner theme song while doing finger guns
as a taylor fan and a citizen of kurtistown...idk what to tell you, man. they just didn't get the joke since a lot of the time over the internet, it can be difficult to tell when someone's being sarcastic.
my entire swiftie family and i still love and support you, mayor. :)
Not the stans attacking the mayor
😂🤣☠
Yup the audacity as a swiftie we don’t claim them
So when's "Gaslight The Way" being released on spotify?
I'm also a pastor's kid and gay. My parents said a similar thing, that they don't want me coming out because it would hurt my dad's job prospects (he was looking to pastor a new church at the time). This really hurt, knowing my mental well being isn't as important to them as his own image to a group of strangers. To me I think I came out before I should have and this kid was outed so they weren't prepared either. This whole thing was hard for my parents until we just all stopped talking about it and now they completely ignore it and act like they forgot. This kinda hurts but I think it's better than going through something like conversion therapy or being kicked out of the home. It might not be what anyone wants to hear but maybe trying to move past it without upsetting them further would be good. Physical safety is so important. When you're financially stable and able to live on your own it will be so freeing, but you'll probably have to wait until then.
I explained to my parent's that I was still religious and didn't see being gay as a sin because honestly if you look into it it's not. Which I could explain all day but I'd recommend doing research and writing down what you find and giving it to your parents. They probably still won't accept it but maybe also don't push them too hard in case it has the opposite effect.
If you don't keep bringing it up they might stop as well and this honestly, as sad as it sounds, could really be the best option for now.
thank u so much. i hope u aswell get into a better situation urself. good luck!
THANKS FOR THE ADVICE!!!! my dogs name is Perdy:) Also I had a crap day and look up to you a lot so this made me cry thank you
Your dog is very cute
DO THE GAP YEAR DONT LEAVE THAT ADORABLE DOG AHHH
the little video checkpoints are so nice!!
That first kid who asked for advice, if you read this, please remember that no matter what you are loved. So much. I was raised in a similar situation, and it sucks, but just remember that your well-being and happiness should be more important to your dad than his job. You're so brave, and strong. If you want to talk you can reach out to me.
thank u so so much this means a lot❤️
hey! its me, the person from the advice thing. i recently dmed kurtis telling him to take out my advice segment, bc unfortunately my brother found out about this video and i dont him telling my parents. anyways, kurtis took out my segment , so i would appreciate it if u could maybe delete this comment just in case my parents look through the comment section? i really really appreciate this comment tho its so so sweet❤️
Taylor Swift is so famous but I've never met an actual fan of hers lol
Hi it’s your lucky day. Taylor Swift fan here
@@pennedbymaria hi!!
right here:)
Hey! I’m a Swiftie!
i used to know a few people that were fans of her but then they just stopped talking about her
We can tell Kurtis never heard German fairy tales or stories overall. If you find Hänsel und Gretel aggressive, what would you think about Struwwelpeter where a bunch of kids starve, burn, get their fingers cut off, get dyed with ink, drown again...
You know, there's an episode of American Dad that makes fun of Germans having a bajillion folk tales through Klaus the fish and your comment reminds me of that lol
I’m really high right now and I cannot physically laugh harder than i am at this kurtosis bit
not me getting the “edgar scissor hands” commercial in the middle of this video 🖐🏻
To the 14-year-old who is struggling with their father's acceptance of them: my heart goes out to you. You are far too young and innocent to bear the pressures of your father's career and your family's livelihood. Honey, that is just not your responsibility, and anyone who makes you feel like it is is just dead wrong. I can't imagine the fear and sadness you must feel. But if you can at all, please try your best to assert yourself and your feelings to your father. The choices regarding his career are on him and not you. As his child, it is his responsibility to what is right by you. Unfortunately, your only weapon in this scenario is to ask that of him. Whatever choice he makes, just know that you are a wonderful soul with so much to offer. Others opinions are a reflection of themselves, never a reflection of you. I hope the very best for you, and if you read this comment, I hope that in some way it has offered you comfort. ❤️
thank u so much... this is very helpful. my dad doesnt think its a sin, its more so that he’s uncomfortable with it . i have been able to convince him that its not a choice nor a sin:)
@@stinkystink7129 i know it's been a few years but how are you now?
To the advice person, my heart goes out to you❤️ I’m going through a similar situation (thinking I might not be straight but in a Christian household) yet not nearly so severe. I hope it gets better for you ❤️❤️

PLEASE make the kurtis corner C-3PO the highlight.. im crying
I typed in Kurtis Conner Taylor Swift because I’m a swiftie and find kurtis conners videos hysterical and I’m sooo excited to see this video
I know they may not see this probably but I really wanna say that I support the person in the advise segment. We hear you and maybe not completely but understand a part of how you are feeling. My advise on what you can tell him is that this way you are hiding a part of yourself, which probably also affect your mental health so much, may sound like a choice you can do but it certainly isn't, just like your sexuality, and it can't go forever. Him getting a job in another church that is more accepting seems like the best way. I know it's easier said than done and I'm not saying that you should do something a teenager on the Internet says who isn't qualified in anything says but I'd say try to convince him to some alternative options to change his current job because no one's job should be controlling that much for someone and their family that they have to worry about who they are, getting that therapy to change a part of their identity and move to an another country so making him realize how messed up that is may be the way to go. I'm really not informed about if he change his church what happens like will he get less money, will his reputation get damaged or is that even a option so I apologize. But the biggest thing he should think about is that if one day you get a partner who loves you so much, and I assure you it will happen you deserve the best, they will love you as the child your father raised and taught not someone who got forced to not be themself and told you to be ashamed of who they are as a person. I wish nothing but the best on your way.
just want to say that i am their best friend and i sent them a screenshot of this and they strongly appreciate this message. they were texting me saying how happy they were and how much they meant to them. thank you.
@@addyacid Im so happy to hear this. And thank ypu for supporting your friend you are amazing
The first thing in the advice segment really hit hard because I have Mexican parents who are homophobic and she said if I ever liked girls I wouldn't live under her roof, she doesn't know I'm bi. I love you so much Kurtis you've helped me through so much and you're an escape to me, you saved me and I will forever love you ur just an incredible human being and we need more people like you

totally here for Komrade Kurtosis and his rants against late-stage capitalism 🔥
as a swiftie and a member of kurtistown, my advice for when you get cancelled by swifties, just, *shake it off*
“You stuck in the dark but let me gaslight the way” is fucking lyrical genius baby
taylor raised me, but kurtis is one of my fave ppl. this video had sparked a war in my mind
for the person who wrote in for the advice segment:
know that you're not responsible for your whole family being supported, or for keeping the roof over everyone's head. that isn't your burden. you should prioritize your own well-being and emotional safety. I know being 14 and independent can be really hard, especially being gay and not being able to be out. it does get better once you move out. I'd suggest reaching out to others with similar situations, maybe on the internet if not IRL so you have that support while you still live with your family. as for what to tell you dad, be honest with your needs and what you're feeling. take care, know that you aren't alone in this and you're not wrong for being yourself.
the person is my best friend. thank u sm for saying this, ik theyll really appreciate it. i’m going to screenshot and send this to them. have a nice day!
tysm omg ❤️🥺
I'm a HUGE swiftie and have been watching kurtis for the last few years and is one of my favourite people on here and here's my take on this matter- There's a reason why twitter is considered to be the most toxic social media platform lmfao. Literally everyone on there is extremely sensitive and get butt hurt by anything anyone says and believe nobody has the right to hate on someone they "stan". Grow 👏🏻tf 👏🏻up 👏🏻
And the fact that the tweet is like 8 years old is making it even more clear that stans on twitter only look to put down literally anyone "hating" on their favs (worst part is he wasn't even hating on her)
For the second email on the advice segment, there's nothing wrong with taking a gap year, especially if you're questioning it! I graduated high school in 2018 and I do plan on going to college but I haven't yet for financial and health/mental health reasons. I used to feel really bad about it, but I've heard from so many people that they wish they waited for some reason or other, and I always hear about people in their 30s going back to college. So I think there's absolutely no shame in taking a gap year, especially for your puppy! (Dogs of all ages are puppies, change my mind) Besides, you can work for that year and have some money saved up for college
That’s a fantastic outlook!
Wallows should make “Gaslighting the Way” irl
good to see the comments and know i wasn’t the only person who thought, “i’ve got answer, but you’re not going to like it” when kurtis asked why witches always have big noses
I stan Kurtis so hard for hating the super bowl
Same
I love listening to these when I'm editing videos!
This should go on that swiftie struggles twitter account. I swear Kurtis some of us are cool 😭
I don't go to church anymore, but luckily for me my parents respect that decision and are very respectful about it, I can't imagine what I would've done if they thought that conversion therapy was a good idea.
BRO I WAS DOING MY HOMEWORK THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEED!!1!!!!!!111
Everytime he says imma wrap it up, it feels like when your parents tell you to come back home with them after having a great time playing at a friend's house after school, and it hurts...
Fun fact
In some versions of Hansel and Gretel their mum ditches them in the woods to try and get them killed and that's why they got lost
That’s the only version of the story I remember tbh idk the other versions
"i know the witch is trynna kill them and cook em up... trynna armie hammer em" I LOST IT KJFHGJHK
do a genius interview for blood related
kurtis and taylor the content i never knew i needed!
ok listen as a swiftie and a member of kurtis town, i can tell you what happened here because it's two things:
1) taylor hasn't been active for a while and twitter swifties are literally bored and jump on any occasion to get into drama and whatever like they're losing their mind basically. i'm on swiftie twitter and they're literally fighting each other sometimes because that's how bored they are lmao plus a lot of them *are* young like you said but also a lot of them aren't from the US so they might've misunderstood the sarcasm because of that.
2) we're all so defensive of taylor on twitter especially because of what she want through in 2016, it's in her documentary in miss americana, but back then there were thousands of viral tweets hating her for the dumbest shit (like you pointed out) and also just making things up (like when the alt-right decided that since she wasn't vocal about politics she was one of them), so literally anything that sounds semi-mean a lot of swifties jump on it so quick.
if it helps, i follow most grown swifties on my account and i never saw your tweet come across or even saw anyone talk about your tweet, so it clearly was an annoying probably young/probably prone to cause drama for no reason corner of swiftie twitter that got you lmao
You’re not cancelled Kurtis, don’t worry. You didn’t do anything wrong, I’m blown away at how they could deem YOU misogynistic
If I think about it "Hänsel and Gretel" is such a creepy story. No wonder I'm a little bit crazy :D I grew up with this stuff hahah
@Alonso Baxtiyor Birmingham, Esq. true, „struwwelpeter“ 🤘I had this book as a child 👽
Bro that first advice story broke me. I cant even fathom how hard it must be for them. Im scared to come out and my parents are super supportive so i cant imagine what theyre going through. If youre out there i hope youre ok.

hiya! to my friend in hamilton worrying about a gap year- i encourage it! i took 3 gap years, worked full time reception and saved a ton of money for school, and then on top of the money i saved, i was able to get my whole forst and second year tuition covered by OSAP (so far, possibly next year too!) all becUse i worked full time for two years and am no longer considered dependant on my parents :)
