Fun fact about the Duolingo one: That character's name is Zari, and she is canonically queer! There's a couple of stories where she mentions wanting a girlfriend (although she has crushes on guys so she's probably bi/pan/etc)
When I looked up applesauce in urban dictionary id thought id find out what it meant but i found nothing, so that might mean they actually used apple sauce-
Funny thing... using applesauce to bake with is a real thing! It's a great alternative to eggs, so if you want to make something vegan swap out the eggs for applesauce!
9:20 - about ths comic. The person drawing was probably aware of Samus' gender as she sits on the chair with her legs crossed. Not only that, but in the Japanese version of the manual, Samus is given gender neutral pronouns (at least from what I've heard)
A little wholesome story: My daughter, 25 y-o who's still figuring shit out, has been working alongside an older Jamaican man. At one point during the workday, he says "So do you have a boyfriend?" then looks at her alternative looking self again, and says "or girlfriend?" and that makes me happy. The world changes slowly, one "or girlfriend" at a time.
For context, I am aroace and the previous generation in my family have a tendency to not exactly be allies. This reminds me of that one time that I was refusing to do something (that is now long forgotten) and my cousin said, "You'll never get a boyfriend that way." and then I said, "I don't want a boyfriend." to which he did not hesitate to reply to with "You'll never get a girlfriend, then." and when I told him that I didn't want a girlfriend either he paused for a second and then said, "Well that's just a sad existence then." XD. This is literally the most anyone in my family has ever sounded like an ally that I can remember and I appreciate him for that. So, ya, props to my cousin.
@@akhdoggi8luv116 I 'm sorry that your family don't understand what love actually is. For what it is worth, I see and appreciate you for doing such a fantastic job of being you. No-one' s worth is dependant on their personal relationships.
OT has become slowly less and less oblivious to dirty jokes/suggestive posts, and I actually appreciate him being able to understand things better now xD _His reactions are even more amazing xD_
@@ivka_zivka idk, some people are just that oblivious to that stuff. Like, for a while I didn't know the Netflix & Chill meant anything other than literally watching Netflix and relaxing.
Another fun fact about Samus Aran, around the time when Samus was revealed to be a woman, Metroid character designer, Matsuoka Hirofumi described Samus in several interviews as being trans. (it’s very complicated as some of these words in Japanese have been assimilated by the West as transphobic slurs when some of the words being used, given context, aren’t really transphobic. It all depends on the tone being used.) So basically, Samus is not only a lesbian icon. ✨She’s a trans lesbian icon✨ Edit: Name spelling correction
no... I wish people would stop parroting this kind of stuff... first of all, the interviews were not "around the time when Samus was revealed to be a woman", Samus has been depicted as a woman in literally every game starting from the first game (1986), and that interview was from _way_ later, in 1994 in the guidebook for the third game. second off, Matsuoka Hirofumi, not a character designer, he's a background artist. third, that part of the interview was seemingly a joke reply as were several other dev's replies in the "Secret of Samus that only I know:" sections. the answer seems like it's kind of a play/subversion on the big surprise reveal that Samus was a woman at the end of the first game. and finally, even if you don't want to believe that was a joke, and you want to take a background artist that had nothing to do with Samus's design or backstory as word of god for this, at least take into account that since that interview other unambiguously canon information has come out. in the Metroid Zero Mission tie-in manga we see Samus as a 3-year old and in at least one occasion is referred to as a girl in the original Japanese. so, _if_ it was ever considered canon internally it's pretty much retconned at this point. I know it's not _impossible_ for a 3-year old to be trans, but it's generally not common.
@@darkychao Okay, I definitely see where you’re coming from here. I looked it up and you’re right on the fact that Matusoka Hirofumi is indeed a background artist and not a character designer. But that was only for the third game. In the first game he was a designer. So it is possible that he had a hand in designing Samus and had his own interpretations of her that would give at least some merit. Although, I feel like I should clarify that my point wasn’t to try and say that this was indeed officially canon. I just thought this was an interesting interpretation of the character from a literary standpoint and I am in no way taking Hirofumi’s words as word of god. That would be up to one of the creators. I probably should’ve been more clear about it in my comment and for that, I’m sorry. However what I will disagree with you on is that the quote of Hirofumi is specifically a joke. In the article, they allude that it can be interpreted as such given how the word “newhalf” can be transformed as transphobic slur in English, however that’s only if the word is said in that specific context. Because we only have that interview to go off of and a few snippets of words that he and other devs used to describe her in that interview. It’s hard to determine the tone of specifically what they meant by that word. If it was considered genuine or just a poor attempt at an ugly joke that makes fun of Samus’s broad appearance at the time. Also putting consideration that words and the meanings behind them have certainly changed since 1994 and we can’t be certain if that word holds the same meaning. Hell, the article that I linked in my previous reply shows that the history of the phrase “newhalf” derives from “hafu” which was originally a word that describes people of mixed race, but the word “newhalf” was more or less picked up by the press in 1980s as a form of self identification and the later adopted by the Japanese transgender community to describe themselves. It’s an older and more dated term, yes, but the point still stands that the word carried relevancy within the trans community at the time and this could’ve been a genuine interpretation of Samus. Now, it is possible that the reason why people like Yoshio Sakamoto continued to push the narrative that Samus is a cisgender woman is because Japan, even now, is still stuck in a very transmedicalist mindset to the point that people aren’t allowed to legally change their name unless they medically transition. And in Sakamoto’s mind, that was simply not a story that he was able to tell because it would’ve possibly angered not only cis fans of the series but also sparked up a lot of unwanted controversy towards the franchise. But it’s not like we will ever know if that’s true or not because it’s unlikely that they’ll ever be willing to tell it. But in regards to the tie in manga specifically, what you say about somewhat concerns me. When you say they “referred to her as a girl in the original Japanese” it sounds like you’re already assuming that she’s cisgender based on linguistics alone as if she isn’t already trans. Now I could be completely wrong on what you meant by that and if I am then I’m sorry, but from how it is phrased this sentence as well as the following, “so if it was ever considered canon internally it’s pretty much retconned at this point.” Implying that she had to have transitioned medically in order to have been considered as a girl. You can still be trans and not medically transition. As long as you feel that you aren’t the gender you were assigned at birth, then you are trans. And you are right, it isn’t common for 3 year olds to transition, but the reason why is because there are numerous precautions for medically transitioning children under a certain age. Because the child has to go under specific tests to make sure that they are wanting and ready to transition. And this takes over the course of several years. I don’t know if that’s the same in Japan but it certainly is in the West. To wrap all of this up, I believe you’re right to say that none of this is per say canon, however you can’t deny that this is an interpretation does have at least some merit behind it from a literary and historical perspective. It’s impossible to truly know what the team’s intentions were when designing her character and I understand if some people interpret Samus being trans as kind of a slap in the face, that it can be more easy for them to just chalk it up as her just being cis because she isn’t just another drop in the bucket of trans people being misrepresented in media because of their appearance while not making their experiences on being trans well known, but I like to see that she’s trans because I love seeing trans people kicking alien ass and being confident in themselves as a person no matter what life throws at them because they might’ve already been through hell and they managed to survive and crawl out. And if that’s just me, then that’s okay. I’m not gonna judge you if you think that Samus is cisgender because that’s your interpretation of the character. Sorry for this being so long winded.
Hey One Topic At A Time, I'm a new subscriber. I just want to say thanks for all your doing for the Lgbtq+ community, it really helps. I remember being in a situation where I wanted to just leave this earth, but then I met my friends and they made me feel better. I slowly started to stop thinking about killing myself, then we started Role-playing and that made me snap out of those thoughts, but lately I've been thinking a lot about my past and everything that has happened to me. I felt used and unloved (I wasn't neglected or abused) I was hurt by someone I trusted and loved, but I didn't think about those bad thoughts, I just thought to myself, "Everything is going to be okay, God has a plan." So I want to tell anyone out there having a hard time in life, It's okay, we're here if you need us. God loves you. We accept you and love you for who you are.

OT, trying so hard to avoid talking about adult fun time: “maybe they’re,,,,, making cookies?? yeah that’s- that’s it,, they’re not moaning that’s just the sound of the,,,,, oven timer-“
When I had just moved into my student house, I genuinely thought the sounds coming from upstairs at night was my upstairs neighbour rearranging their furniture. Only when my housemate said that the sound was very repetitive did I realise I was hearing them have adult fun time. So I would actually be the type of person to convince myself they really were baking.
"Earning a badge of satanic red wings" is now my favorite euphemism of all time. Weird that it was supposed to make lesbianism sound LESS awesome, because it achieved the exact opposite.
i like how the cannon was like "she has a real name actually, in fact were going to just use that name for the rest of the series" and the fandom was like "nah, she's hotdog water"
im watching this while having a terrible fever and drinking orange juice, your videos always cheer me up whenever i’m not doing well, (ps u gave my dad the courage to properly be open about being bi thank u for helping my dad be more comfortable with himself!)
Seeing how awesome OT looks in that Spider-Gwen/Ghost-Spider jacket is seriously making me think I *should* get myself that Gwenpool jacket I've been eyeing...
This will probably get lost in the comments but here goes nothing. Spent most of my 33 years on earth being LGBTQ+ phobic and then about 12 years ago I started having certain...feelings about myself that I had a hard time understanding/describing. So I did the logical thing and spent the next decade suppressing those feelings hardcore. Only in the last few months did I truly start to realize and FINALLY start to accept that I like to crossdress and may not be cis and am possibly not straight. It's been.....a ride to say the least. I'm not currently in a place where I'm able to dress or express myself how I want to and it's been tough. But I recently found your channel and it's helped brighten my days up a bit. You're so accepting of everyone and are just amazing and thank you what you do. Love, a new subscriber.
so glad for you that you finally came around to starting to accept yourself! congratulations! i hope you get to a place where you can express yourself freely soon :)
@@crabbypupper7302 Thank you so much for taking the time to reply it means a lot. I hope I can make it to a place where I can start to express and discover myself more. Can't believe I'm the age I am and it seems like I'm trying to learn who I am all over again.
I'm proud of you for finally being able to accept who you are and how you feel! It's a big achievement and a huge step forward. I hope someday you can dress and express yourself how you like. I can't wait to hear about you living your true self. Much love!
wholesome story: I’m pretty sure the teacher at my school that taught us sex ed was rebelling against the curriculum… the slides and videos themselves just pretended that straight people were the only ones to ever exist. but this teacher, I think she always went out of her way to say ‘partner’ instead of ‘boyfriend’. I think she even corrected herself. it’s a small thing but it did make me happy. that and she definitely knows that a significant portion of us are nowhere near straight lmao, some don’t even try to hide their blatant simping for other girls
The "uno reverse" tiktoks are golden. All of them. There's an entire playlist and it's just as funny as the one OT showed. Can't recommend them enough c:
Ik a lot of people say this, and I’m super late to the video, but OT’s moment of realization when there’s a sexual joke and then him being like “NO!” Makes my entire week
Okay, funny story, at my good Christian school, a girl across from me in Bible Class said she was related to Po from the Teletubbies (not the actress, like actually Po), and talked about a dream where she met them... I said something along the lines of "I had a dream about something I can't say here because this is a good Christian school," (I had a dream where I just went to some lesbian couple's house[???]). The dream had meaning and it came full circle... 3:15
Fun fact: Hot Dog Water is voiced by the same actress who played Velma in the live action movies. So the same woman in the meme you were talking about before.
so I'm in a poly relationship and they get so much freaking joy in flustering me. I don't know why. But they'll take something I say, turn it into a dirty joke, and laugh as I have a not-straight crisis.

@@angelal5485 That is my favorite response to this ever and I was planning on saying that I’m not as into men as I am women but managed to find an amazing bf somehow. However that comment is giving me life.
Samus has _always_ been depicted as being a woman, the guides and manual depicting her as male _was not a mistake_ it's to keep the big surprise for beating the game fast enough from being spoiled. it's intentional. all of the stuff showing her as a strong masculine hero was all stuff done in to keep a guise/her identity obfuscated, both in canon and for the player. in canon very few people know that Samus is a woman, she tends to keep a low profile in her personal life, and is kind of a loner in general, to the point that we really only see her growing an attachment to two characters (Adam and the metroid larva). but she's still been a woman the whole time, even in supplementary material, if you think Nintendo kept that a secret from the people making the official guidebook for no reason, I don't know what to tell you.
The guidebook was also in on the secret and trying to keep it; it mentions shortcuts and glitches often used to shave completion times absurdly low, and mentions rewards for being fast. That "you're our hero" bit at the beginning is a propaganda video in the manga, a very brief gag before the guide starts.
8:15 I had my High School Chemistry teacher say something like that. It was when the class was having a discussion about if gay marriage should be legalized. Never ceases to disappoint me.
10:04 Revue Starlight is awesome, and the little comics people make for Claudine and Maya make it better, definitely go watch it. Quite pleased to see one of my favorite shows popping up in places now.
@@Pr0fessorUnkn0wn it's the name that trans people had before they discovered their identity. Not all people have a deadname. And it's called dead because it use to be like socially "dying" your identity. If I'm wrong, I'm able to learn a correct way to refer to the people! Thanks for not being rude with me 🥺
is it just me or is his laugh so soothing XD its like looking at a puppy floating on a cloud, hes just having the time of his life reacting to reddit without a care in the world
I didn't expect to see a Revue Starlight reference in the thumbnail- I can't recommend it enough, especially if animes like Love Live and Bandori are your thing. Hell, even if you're not into that, the animation, music, and cinematography are great as well. (And I can confirm the girls in that comic are very gay)
0:54 fun fact, you can actually use applesauce as a replacement for eggs in baking, and you can barely taste it. great alternative for those with allergies. then again, so can blood.
yoo hoo comment section sapphics! just letting you know there’s an amazing book by Katia Rose called Catch and Cradle, which is about a lesbian and a bisexual struggling to date because they’re on the same lacrosse team which has a rule “thau shalt not date thine teammates”, but both have raging crushes on eachother, and they have no clue when the other is flirting!

When I had just moved into my student house, I genuinely thought the sounds coming from upstairs at night was my upstairs neighbour rearranging their furniture. Only when my housemate said that the sound was very repetitive did I realise I was hearing them have adult fun time. So I would actually be the type of person to convince myself they really were baking.

OT is too pure for this world. We must protect him at all costs.
Y e s
he tortured us on twitter with nostalgia things and making us feel old :(
He might be too pure but he knew the “mommy sorry” thing , he’s not a innocent as he lets on
this man has the cutest laugh in the entire world
"Earning a badge of satanic red wings" is now my favorite euphemism of all time. Weird that it was supposed to make lesbianism sound LESS awesome, because it achieved the exact opposite.
FUCK YEA
LMAO I KNOW IT SOUNDS SO BADASS
You just gotta love how whenever somethings about adult fun time, ot just has this moment of realization a few seconds after reading the text
0:29
I died-

I don't think OT is aware that "Earning your red wings" is 60s slang for cunnilingus during menstruation.
Yeah something tells me he's still way too innocent to have picked up on that
Excuse me, whaaaat
Well then, I could have gone without knowing that. I shall now tell my friends and family to make them suffer this knowledge as well.
The more you know-*
So you agree with me that article writer is a closeted lesbian, right? The deep secret admiration is seeping through the criticism...
i like how the cannon was like "she has a real name actually, in fact were going to just use that name for the rest of the series"
and the fandom was like "nah, she's hotdog water"

Seeing how awesome OT looks in that Spider-Gwen/Ghost-Spider jacket is seriously making me think I *should* get myself that Gwenpool jacket I've been eyeing...
Oh my dog!
I've wanted a Gwenpool jacket for years now but they just don't make them in Amazon sizes!!

I can't unsee it as a lil black dress XD

This will probably get lost in the comments but here goes nothing.
Spent most of my 33 years on earth being LGBTQ+ phobic and then about 12 years ago I started having certain...feelings about myself that I had a hard time understanding/describing. So I did the logical thing and spent the next decade suppressing those feelings hardcore. Only in the last few months did I truly start to realize and FINALLY start to accept that I like to crossdress and may not be cis and am possibly not straight. It's been.....a ride to say the least. I'm not currently in a place where I'm able to dress or express myself how I want to and it's been tough. But I recently found your channel and it's helped brighten my days up a bit. You're so accepting of everyone and are just amazing and thank you what you do.
Love, a new subscriber.
so glad for you that you finally came around to starting to accept yourself! congratulations! i hope you get to a place where you can express yourself freely soon :)
@@crabbypupper7302 Thank you so much for taking the time to reply it means a lot. I hope I can make it to a place where I can start to express and discover myself more. Can't believe I'm the age I am and it seems like I'm trying to learn who I am all over again.
I'm proud of you for finally being able to accept who you are and how you feel! It's a big achievement and a huge step forward. I hope someday you can dress and express yourself how you like. I can't wait to hear about you living your true self.
Much love!
@@swiftpenny OMG, thank you so much

Fun fact: you actually can make cookies with applesauce. It is often used as an egg substitute for people who can’t eat eggs
Yeah so they were just allergic to eggs 👍👍👍
2:28
“Kiss noises”.
With the applesauce in cookies, you can actually replace eggs with applesauce when baking cake or cookies
Nice baking tip :D
Yes but the cookies seem to crumble easier
I did that once and they were chewy and amazing
What’s the replacement ratio?
This trick works great in zucchini and banana bread
My girlfriend drunk texted me one night saying I'm really fuzzy and confessed her feelings for me 😂 We've been dating for about 3 months now 😊
Awww×
That is actually such a cute story
Aweeee!!! That's so sweet
wholesome story: I’m pretty sure the teacher at my school that taught us sex ed was rebelling against the curriculum… the slides and videos themselves just pretended that straight people were the only ones to ever exist. but this teacher, I think she always went out of her way to say ‘partner’ instead of ‘boyfriend’. I think she even corrected herself. it’s a small thing but it did make me happy.
that and she definitely knows that a significant portion of us are nowhere near straight lmao, some don’t even try to hide their blatant simping for other girls

The "uno reverse" tiktoks are golden. All of them. There's an entire playlist and it's just as funny as the one OT showed. Can't recommend them enough c:
I’ve actually used applesauce in baking, it’s a good alternative for eggs if you’re making vegan cookies or cupcakes
And great to get a moist carrot cake too!!
_animal rights_
I’m vegetarian and I wholeheartedly agree!
Ik a lot of people say this, and I’m super late to the video, but OT’s moment of realization when there’s a sexual joke and then him being like “NO!” Makes my entire week
Okay, funny story, at my good Christian school, a girl across from me in Bible Class said she was related to Po from the Teletubbies (not the actress, like actually Po), and talked about a dream where she met them... I said something along the lines of "I had a dream about something I can't say here because this is a good Christian school," (I had a dream where I just went to some lesbian couple's house[???]). The dream had meaning and it came full circle... 3:15
Fun fact: Hot Dog Water is voiced by the same actress who played Velma in the live action movies. So the same woman in the meme you were talking about before.
This guys mind is so innocent. It takes them a whole two seconds to get dirty jokes 😂
so I'm in a poly relationship and they get so much freaking joy in flustering me. I don't know why. But they'll take something I say, turn it into a dirty joke, and laugh as I have a not-straight crisis.
Relationship goals 💗
@@lucky-segfault they both broke up with me so...
@@coldpepsiiii Sorry.
My jaw just dropped oh holy crap
What was that kind of relationship like I'm kinda curious?
At this point, I'm honestly surprised not every woman is a hardcore lesbian.

@8:38 this made my night
Samus has _always_ been depicted as being a woman, the guides and manual depicting her as male _was not a mistake_ it's to keep the big surprise for beating the game fast enough from being spoiled. it's intentional.
all of the stuff showing her as a strong masculine hero was all stuff done in to keep a guise/her identity obfuscated, both in canon and for the player. in canon very few people know that Samus is a woman, she tends to keep a low profile in her personal life, and is kind of a loner in general, to the point that we really only see her growing an attachment to two characters (Adam and the metroid larva). but she's still been a woman the whole time, even in supplementary material, if you think Nintendo kept that a secret from the people making the official guidebook for no reason, I don't know what to tell you.
The guidebook was also in on the secret and trying to keep it; it mentions shortcuts and glitches often used to shave completion times absurdly low, and mentions rewards for being fast. That "you're our hero" bit at the beginning is a propaganda video in the manga, a very brief gag before the guide starts.
Okay, but why did that christian article have to go after flat-chested women like that lol
For real
It's ok, I'll defend the flats from people like that with my life
yeah, Flat to medium is indeed premium (but boobs are nice all the same regardless of size, but they can also be bothersome), just my preferred taste

You can actually use apple sauce as an egg substitute in cakes and stuff, soooooo I meannnn
If the "next room" is the kitchen, maybe?

They were *totally baking*, I mean even I have a kitchen in my bedroom...
That opening story was...a rollercoaster to say the least.
"The plague" has become my everyday referenc
8:15 I had my High School Chemistry teacher say something like that. It was when the class was having a discussion about if gay marriage should be legalized. Never ceases to disappoint me.
10:04 Revue Starlight is awesome, and the little comics people make for Claudine and Maya make it better, definitely go watch it. Quite pleased to see one of my favorite shows popping up in places now.
0:56 there eating in the room next to him
Definitely eating something
No, they’re stirring a giant cauldron of… something on the bed, and they needed applesauce

@@Pr0fessorUnkn0wn it's the name that trans people had before they discovered their identity. Not all people have a deadname.

Apple sauce can actually serve as an egg replacement in baking! So, I see no flaw in your interpretation of cookie baking.

I didn't expect to see a Revue Starlight reference in the thumbnail- I can't recommend it enough, especially if animes like Love Live and Bandori are your thing. Hell, even if you're not into that, the animation, music, and cinematography are great as well.
(And I can confirm the girls in that comic are very gay)
Yeah! It's super good. I wasn't expecting to see a reference to it in an OT video either.
0:54 fun fact, you can actually use applesauce as a replacement for eggs in baking, and you can barely taste it. great alternative for those with allergies. then again, so can blood.
2:52 Just twisted my Brain on how it escalated in a Unexpected way

yoo hoo comment section sapphics! just letting you know there’s an amazing book by Katia Rose called Catch and Cradle, which is about a lesbian and a bisexual struggling to date because they’re on the same lacrosse team which has a rule “thau shalt not date thine teammates”, but both have raging crushes on eachother, and they have no clue when the other is flirting! I very much recommend it
6:38 ah yes, the show with murder, abusive relationships, insanity, and a nice side of existentialism. I love it.
And were scooby is reviled flto be an alien. And theres an evil owl who turns into a god and resets the universe. I loved that show
