I'm at the beginning of my transition and this made me cry (in the good way) I'm happy people are like you o the world Kim and everyone who sports the lgbtq people xx
Sarah Hobson good luck =) im at the beginning stage of my transition as well and i agree im so happy that there are people like kim out there that truly care about people
You mentioned Asexuals!!! I have never heard anyone, let alone one of my favourite youtubers, acknowledge the existence of asexuality! You don't know how happy that one little mention made me!! I NEVER hear asexuality being mentioned anywhere I swear, and I'm just so relieved that you mentioned it! Thanks, Kim.
Cassie Le Bone On one hand it's sad that just someone MENTIONING asexuality makes us so happy because that's literally the only kind of representation we can hope for, but on the other... yay, asexuals
Cassie Le Bone I just mean, you obviously exist, but what can you actually do to represent asexuals? Im not trying to be rude but its simple, you dont "like" either gender...its not controversial or inherently "wrong" in some eyes(i dont think) Maybe im wrong, i just see asexuals as neutral.
This was amazing Kim! Thanks for the support on LGBTQ+, you worded everything so well, and it is true that the younger generation are more understanding of people's feelings. Hopefully in the next 10 years or so, when these young people have places of power, the world will be in a much better place :)
This might be completely random Kim, and I sort of hope you read this, but I am quite depressed lately, but it's just really awesome when I see you be your happy self, and be so nice and sweet, it just lifts me up! Thanks for your awesomeness Kim :3 Kind regards, A Fan
I'm literally so happy you mentioned Asexual too, since we are often erased from the LGBTQIA+ community and it's just reasons like this I feel whole again
Kim, once again you have touched my heart with your words and thoughts on serious subjects that is the exact thoughts that are in my mind and that I can't explain to those older than me that think there way is the only right way. It just irritates me and to understand that I'm not the only one that believes this way I want to hug you and squeeze you so much and say thankyou for all you do and say. I love you so very much and hope the best for everything you do. Stay fluxy! Xxx
Wow, Kim! You never fail to astound me at what a thoughtful and intelligent person you are. I feel like you are one of the wisest people I know, but like its just natural and you are genuinely a beautiful person. I don't mean this to sound like I'm sucking up to you with showers of praise, but this needs to be said as you are simply amazing
I really love Kim, she has become my favourite member of the Yogscast. She's intelligent, skilled, hard working, kind, conscientious, funny, and just plain adorable. She speaks several languages, and has even lived in Norway! I really wish I could meet her and talk to her, and give her a hug. :3
I recently came out about being bi, and this is because of people like you, that gives me the confidence I needed, to be honest I had read some of Zoey's tweets and another UA-camr that I watch explained her coming out story, and though I understand the bit before seems a bit unnecessary it's just me saying how people like you inspire me, knowing that there are people that agree and support our decisions is an amazing feeling to know, since coming out I have felt less guilty for keeping my true sexuality hidden for months and most of all I have an amazing girlfriend that love with all my heart, so really I have you and various other people that have inspired me to thank x
Kim is rapidly becoming one of my favourite people ever, she is so kind loving and understanding and I wish that everyone in the world was like her as the world would be a much better place.
So many childhood series I used to watch with my late brother. I just remembered 'Courage the cowardly dog', 'cow and chicken' and 'Johnny Bravo'. They were so weird, and so fun
I've wanted to be female my whole life. I remember at the age of 6 trying on my friends sisters clothes and it feeling so right. I was happy being cute. Sadly I was so unselfaware that I didn't realize my nature until quite late in life. So chose not to go through with the transition because I knew I wouldn't come out the other end looking how I wanted. I can never look how I feel inside and I have to live with that. As do many many people. I'm telling this story to let people know that they aren't alone and to hopefully help some people really sit down and think hard about who they are and who they want to be. I wish I had realized my nature 15 years ago and maybe things would have been different. As it stands use my story and as example to be more self aware.
I can tell from these short words you are an amazing person. Don't doubt that you can be who you want to be - if you want to be female then, if only to me, you are damn well a female as much as I am! Know that you aren't alone and we will accept you no matter what
FairysHuff I can say from personal experience that it is never too late, and that transitioning can have amazing results that are impossible to anticipate. I respect your choice, but I also want you to know there is hope.
My opinion on LGBTQ is that everyone deserves their rights as long as the aren't hurting anyone or breaking the law. Just don't start infringing on my religious rights as you get yours.
Matthew Smith The problem with your statement is, LGBTQ people aren't really infringing on any rights. If anyone, it's the religious people infringing our rights.
Dr. Caesars Palace MD There is a bill here in parts of the US that is trying to protect the right of Religious Establishments (ei: Churches) to deny services to someone if it is against their beliefs, but Pro LGBT people are trying to stop the bill. They are actively trying to infringe on Religious rights.
Dr. Caesars Palace MD So you feel that people should be forced to do things that they feel is against their Religious Beliefs. The Services are meant to be Religious ones. Not like selling things.
Kim, I have been watching your productions for a while now and I always enjoy them because I feel like we share similar opinions on stuff. I really enjoyed this Ask Kim today and I think you are bang on about the shifting of opinions surrounding LGBTQ. Gameboy was surely the staple toy of everyones childhood. I hope your channel reaches that important number for you and I look forward to watching much more of you and your collaborations in future. Thank you for making such amazing videos, I think you are a really thoughtful and wonderful person (from what I have seen and heard). Keep up the brilliant work Kim and don't push yourself over the edge with work, us fans will love you no matter how much you do because it is always great quality.
A little late to the party, but I want to add my little voice to those thanking you for the comments on LGBTQ issues and your viewpoint. I've been in transition for a little over 2 years now, and it hasn't been easy, but it's been the best decision I ever made. It's tough, and it's so easy to get caught up in the detractors and those who would tear me down for being who I am. But then there are those like you, who, while you know you may not understand the feelings and emotions that trans people endure, can understand that it is not a bad thing to be different from someone, and can empathize with the simple desire to be a person and have friends and a life just like anyone else. Thank you, Kim, from the bottom of my heart.
On LGBTQ: I was immediately thinking about Louis CK. Unless someone are personally bothering you, you have no reason to hate them. Of course what he actually said was far from as PC, but his message is a lovely one
I legit was tearing up during your answer to the LGBTQ question. Idk why exactly but it just made me feel happy and accepted and unreasonably emotional. You're a truly wonderful person, Kim
i feel like im about to cry about what kim said about the lgbtq segment because ive come out as gay and noone really cared so now i know who to say thank you to and thats you kim thank you for your support it means so much to me as your one of my favourite youtuber so thank you so much
Yogcast Kim I just want to say thank you for not judging and supporting the LGBTQ community. You had me in tears because those are words I needed to hear today. It's a real struggle being a lesbian in a small town with close mindedness. So from the bottom of my heart thank you.
***** Kim, i'm a very big supporter of LGBT and stuff because i have loads of friends that are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender and because i think everyone deserves to be happy in any and every way possible, This made me cry, my big brother came into my room crying happy tears because he is gay and loves your opinion on it and just loves the fact that you just want people to be happy, Thank You so much for being a good person to this world, the world needs more people like you hilarious, sassy, salty, adorable, caring and just down right amazing :) Thank You
And once again, Kim proves that her status as my favorite youtuber is very well-deserved indeed. I was in tears with the LGBT+ question; I've never seen someone who doesn't specialize in those matters handle that question with such open-mindedness and compassion. I do feel like things are beginning to get better for us, but maybe that's just in my little bubble. At any rate, it was absolutely ground-breaking that you mentioned both asexuals and gender-nonconforming people. As a pansexual person, I know what that kind of acceptance and acknowledgement would mean to me, and it makes me so happy that LGBT+ representation is beginning to be seen as something that needs to be worked on. You're doing a fantastic job Kim, and I'm sure that that 750K will come soon.
"LGBTQ" caught my eye. This is one of the reasons I love the yogscast. None of these amazing people are hateful against people. They make jokes, but overall, they are just so wonderful and they don't hate or discriminate and I love them all.
I used to go to a Christian School. I remember the awful hateful things that where said there. They had there students convinced that all homosexuals wanted to push there sexuality on everyone. I am so glad I don't have anything to do with that school or anyone who went to it anymore. Half the time they talk about love, then the other half they hate on people for been who they are. Every time Kim Uploads these videos I realize that me and her have very similar opinions on things. I also have to say, one of the things she said in a previous video made me realize and accept something about myself. My life has been happier since then. Thanks Kim, these videos are great. Please keep doing them.
Arrusoh Sorry about your experience. I'm proud to call myself a pansexual Christian and we're not all like that. All the people from my church are perfectly okay with it. Jesus told us to love each other as he loves us and that is what my church focuses on.
AllonsyRapunzel All the Churches near me just preached hate. They constantly asked for money and made you feel guilty if you didn't have any money to give. When I had just lost my job they where rude to me because I didn't have any money (I was 15). Meanwhile the leaders would get new cars every year. and own multiple houses. I still consider myself christian, but I am staying away from organised religion. I am sure there are churches that aren't like that, but I have no intention of going to a church again, too many bad memories. Even though I am straight, I would be more likely to go to a church that are open to people been homosexual, since I don't want to deal with that hate.
Arrusoh It's a shame about those sort of churches. They drive people away from God. And I hope that you find a good church to go to soon. Of course, you don't need to go to church to love God. x
Hey Kim. I just wanted to say that I have begun coming out to my friends about being Bi and I couldn't have done it without all of you at the yogscast (especially you, zoey and Fiona) thank you for this amazing video and for everything you guys have done!
This year has been really hard for me. I'm studying music at Uni and like you said in your previous videos, I'm starting to get a little tired of it all. Eventually I started considering something with video games since it's my biggest passion but I didn't know what to do. When I heard you talk about your experience at LIPA (I considered going there myself btw), considering a career in games journalism and even working around your dyslexia, it made me start to believe in myself since I could relate to it all so closely. Now after finding out about journalism modules at my Uni, I'm finding myself leaning more and more down that path everyday! Even if they aren't tailored to video games :P As well as this I came to terms with the life long denial that I'm a trans woman. It was the hardest thing I ever did but everyday I find more and more people like you that just don't give a damn what you are and what you wanna do. And honestly that's the most relieving response to it I find. Keep doing you, Kim! I find myself growing more and more confident with every video you make :)
Thank you Kim, you are such a lovely person and this video is a real credit to you ☺️ thank you again. You deserve all of the support you get, you are just amazing.... ☺️
I haven't even seen the video yet Kim, but thanks for supporting transgender people like me because I know you probably do suppot the LGBQ, and T community. I love you so much thanks
Yeah me to, Ik vroeg mij het gwn af, omdat je voornaam nogal engels is en je achternaam gwn nederlands. En als je engels was wilde ik graag uitleggen wat voeten betekent :P #VoordeLolz
Wow, it was really interesting hearing your views on XII, XII-2 and Lightning Returns. That's probably the first time anyone has been able to explain to me why they disliked the games in a way I understood. I went into them with the only FF game I'd played before them being Crystal Chronicles, and I loved them. They are easily some of my favourite games of all time, but at the same time, I had no idea about the other games being related to them, and I had no concept of what a 'good' FF game was. I still find it unlikely that I'll enjoy earlier FF games more, due to being so used to XII's mechanics, but I can definitely understand now why so many people dislike them. (Oh, and thanks for being so supportive of the LGBTQ community :D)
If someone doesn't give her an award for that amazing speech then I don't know who will. Bravo you amazing human. You understand and I support everything you've said x GO LGBT!
I always remember creeping down stairs to watch M*A*S*H, but the truth is, I was laughing at my dad and brother laughing at it as I never understood it. Since then I have watched quite a few episodes and absolutely love it.
You are right Kim about the younger generation being more supportive of the LGBTQ community. I'm 15 almost 16, I have about 5 friends and a cousin that are gay or lesbian. And I am cool with it, like you said I don't care about your sexuality, all I care about is your personality and if your a nice person or not. Also whenever someone asks me about my sexual orientation (in a polite way) I always respond with some sort of variation of, I honestly don't know. I've never been atracted to anyone to consider having a boyfriend or girlfriend and the time will come when I know or not. So, you go Kim for your awesome viewpoint.
I've noticed a lot at school that we really don't care whether people are gay or bi or whatever! I really don't see the point at being angry at those kind of things , and if you are there's no need to be rude about it! In my view , everyone is a human ,and there's no point in discriminating .
Hi Kim, You should totally do some more content with Martyn, you seem to connect well in videos especially when you were talking to him on his 5toked podcast with both of you having lovely bubbly personalities! Maybe Mario Kart as you have both done videos on the game before?
Kim, you hit the nail square in the head with your LGBTQ answer. The only thing that matters is if you're a decent human being, and those that oppose these people are not. Thank you.
Hey Kim I'm a christian and i feel like lGBTQ people are humans and should be able to choose whatever they want in life just like everyone else. Great vid. Hope you enjoy your weekend.
Harry Dibbs That's true, but Alphabet Brigade have made it appear that in many way's it isn't, with all this bi-curious stuff, and gender fluidity and other shit like that.
I've really liked you before, and after watching this I love you even more now, especially because of your LGBTQ+ speech (and of course the Pokémon). You are a really amazing person!
One of my close family friends is in the beginning of her transformation, and honestly, like Kim said, I don't care. They are the same person to me, and it would be wrong for me to say or even believe otherwise. There is a growing amount of scientific evidence that being transgender is not a choice but a biological trait. Now I know that most sane individuals have known this for a long time, but having specific scientific evidence to support transgenders is great for making a strong political statement.
I really have to give you credit for the awesome comment section you have. Most of the time when someone starts geting 100k+ subs the community gets infested by trolls and assholes, yet here you are with way beyond that and your comment section is fairly devoid of those things, at least compared to other popular channels.
As soon as you said 'non-gender specific', I burst. I'm so used to people tossing my gender under the rug and I honestly expected the same from you since no one talks about us. This video helped me realize something impotant, thank you.
Thank you for supporting lgbtq+ I'm pansexual and don't really have I gender I don't label myself with a gender and it can be hard sometimes even today I was I. Town and got stopped by someone asking me why I was wearing men's clothes and then told me to stop sinning but I'm not going to let that hold me back
Natalie Robertson I have the same problem. I keep getting asked if im a boy or a girl, as i dress in men's clothes. I identify as a girl + lesbian, but u really don't have to label yourself! Be who u want to be.
Natalie Robertson What were you wearing that made them think you were a man? Also, why do you say you have no gender? Why don't you just have people refer to yourself as she, given that you have a female body.
MrCool Mug g I was just wearing skinny jeans a men's baggy shirt and my hair was tucked into a beanie and I said I don't have a gender as I don't identify with being female , male or trans so I haut say I don't have one and people do refer to me as she I do refer gender neutral pronouns but female pronouns are fine
I hope there was a Snivy plushy there who just happened to not get airtime! On another note; I completely agree with your views on how people express their opinion
I'm asexual which results in me being unable to spot someone's sexuality unless they're really overdoing it because everyone is so much more than the things they don't choose. One thing we do choose is our view of others and mine is "if it doesn't affect me, I really don't mind" so don't go victimising yourself because you hate people you don't know for being a certain way that they can't change and are not going to use it to hurt you because... WE MUST REMEMBER it's nothing other than LOVE 💗💖💕❤️👫👬👭
Your hair is awesome, Kim! I'd just like to say that you are one of my biggest inspirations and watching your videos just makes my day better. Thank you!!! ///
and anyone who is scared of coming out don't be when i did it people laughed and made fun of me but they accepted me and thought i was brave for doing it.
That's the thing though, I have a feeling that if you looked at that crowd closely you would see a lot of older people. I don't know about other's but I feel like once all the old racist, homophobes are dead and gone and the newer generations are the one's in power the world will be a far more accepting and better place for it.
The answer isn't just to let people who disagree with you die out, that shows a lack of respect for our elders. We need to educate those with homophobic and racist views as to why they are wrong in what they believe.
Zepheros of shadows Yeah, but to me that isn't an issue, I think people are forgetting that context is a thing these days and that the context of words should be far more important than the word itself.
The plushy scene is literately going to be me in August when I go to Japan... Saved up much my student loan and all going be spent there I fear... Pikachu BLOODY KETTLE AS WELL! My god...
Basilbits All being trans myself, nice to hear your views on it! NHS route is hard... Wait queue of a year really hurts but you know got keep on swimming!
I fully support LGBTQ+ and I'm glad that the younger generation is, for the most part, very understanding. As a whole, we are moving forward. About that story about the dancers, if it really was in Alabama, then I'm very sad about that. I'm from Alabama and live here. When I can, I'm moving away from the south simply because I've yet to meet a single person here that has been fully supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. For the most part people here are very religious and very conservative, homophobic, and even sometimes racist. Hopefully we'll continue to move forward as a whole :)
on the subject of final fantasy, there is a similar game called lost odyssey and it is complete amazetits, if you haven't played it already Kim I think you would enjoy it thoroughly
The paradox of the matter (and similar ones) is that by saying you don't care and that we shouldn't make a big deal out of it you are making it a big deal.
I was really surprised by your list of favorite tv series' as a kid. Since you grew up all over the world, I really wasn't expecting to have heard of any of them, especially given that I'm American, but not only have I heard of them all, I've seen them all. I was particularly surprised that you mentioned MASH, since I grew up on that one and I'm about 13 years older than you. lol
LGBTQ are people too. I've known several of them and they're just people. Really, as long as what you do isn't harmful or endangering other people, you should be free to do it. Along with the old prejudice, I think that a part of the problem is separating personal feelings from your overall opinions. For a while, I though of being gay as a bit weird, just on a personal level, and that's fading now the more I interact with some of them, but I have never thought that they should be treated any less than cis-gender or cis-sexual people. They're just people too.
Instead of 'I dont care' maybe use 'I dont mind'? I think that is what you mean instead, because you do care about the lgbtq people (: Thank you so much for being awesome, Kim!
I'm not sure whether it's because my mum is a lesbian and if she's persuaded me to support lgbt but I fully with all my heart support light people . I think you are amazing however you are and I will support you forever.
Kim you always make me feel happy cheerful and full of joy your videos inspire me all the time your my role model your an amazing person i would watch all of your videos if i had time i hope you keep making good videos and keep being awesome have a great day Kim. this might not make sense
I'm at the beginning of my transition and this made me cry (in the good way) I'm happy people are like you o the world Kim and everyone who sports the lgbtq people xx
Sarah Hobson Good luck with your transition - stay strong, and be awesome! xx
Thank you Kim I love you
Sarah Hobson I am so glad that you are transitioning! I pray that you will become fully comfortable in however you choose to be. X
Sarah Hobson good luck =) im at the beginning stage of my transition as well and i agree im so happy that there are people like kim out there that truly care about people
She got pissed
I don't care, I will support LGBQT+ forever
Dat hair! It's so lovely.
Ian Roper I know! She looks so nice with it ;)
You mentioned Asexuals!!! I have never heard anyone, let alone one of my favourite youtubers, acknowledge the existence of asexuality! You don't know how happy that one little mention made me!!

Cassie Le Bone I just mean, you obviously exist, but what can you actually do to represent asexuals? Im not trying to be rude but its simple, you dont "like" either gender...its not controversial or inherently "wrong" in some eyes(i dont think)
Maybe im wrong, i just see asexuals as neutral.
TheGamerThing Thanks for reading, and thanks for being cool about it. I hope you have great continued day!
Nora Thirteen Thanks for explaining it better than I could ^^

Ask Kim and Stop. Hannah Time both just make me all warm inside.
I recently came out about being bi, and this is because of people like you, that gives me the confidence I needed, to be honest I had read some of Zoey's tweets and another UA-camr that I watch explained her coming out story, and though I understand the bit before seems a bit unnecessary it's just me saying how people like you inspire me, knowing that there are people that agree and support our decisions is an amazing feeling to know, since coming out I have felt less guilty for keeping my true sexuality hidden for months and most of all I have an amazing girlfriend that love with all my heart, so really I have you and various other people that have inspired me to thank x

So many childhood series I used to watch with my late brother. I just remembered 'Courage the cowardly dog', 'cow and chicken' and 'Johnny Bravo'. They were so weird, and so fun
I want to see all of Hat Films equipped with Gengar Pokemon backpacks.
WE KNOW THAT ONE!

FairysHuff Being a woman in a mans body can surely have it's benefits. You see the world differently, but have a male body at your disposal.
MrCool Mug You obviously don't know the half of it.
FairysHuff I can say from personal experience that it is never too late, and that transitioning can have amazing results that are impossible to anticipate. I respect your choice, but I also want you to know there is hope.
dumbass
Oh no Kim you wont get me to hit subscribe, i am already subscribed, you are not getting rid of me that easily
Never unsubbing
Kim is too amazing

It's like me saying "you can't eat that cookie I'm on a diet"
Dr. Caesars Palace MD So you feel that people should be forced to do things that they feel is against their Religious Beliefs.

This is why Kim is my favourite yog

Kim is my favourite Yog because she's so nice and cute and she really makes me smile 😄
i feel like im about to cry about what kim said about the lgbtq segment because ive come out as gay and noone really cared so now i know who to say thank you to and thats you kim thank you for your support it means so much to me as your one of my favourite youtuber so thank you so much

***** Kim, i'm a very big supporter of LGBT and stuff because i have loads of friends that are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender and because i think everyone deserves to be happy in any and every way possible, This made me cry, my big brother came into my room crying happy tears because he is gay and loves your opinion on it and just loves the fact that you just want people to be happy, Thank You so much for being a good person to this world, the world needs more people like you hilarious, sassy, salty, adorable, caring and just down right amazing :) Thank You
Kim is just so chill with everything, I love it. It's good to see more youtubers talking about LGBTQIA issues. It makes me so happy.
And once again, Kim proves that her status as my favorite youtuber is very well-deserved indeed. I was in tears with the LGBT+ question; I've never seen someone who doesn't specialize in those matters handle that question with such open-mindedness and compassion. I do feel like things are beginning to get better for us, but maybe that's just in my little bubble.
At any rate, it was absolutely ground-breaking that you mentioned both asexuals and gender-nonconforming people. As a pansexual person, I know what that kind of acceptance and acknowledgement would mean to me, and it makes me so happy that LGBT+ representation is beginning to be seen as something that needs to be worked on. You're doing a fantastic job Kim, and I'm sure that that 750K will come soon.
I'm a disabled, queer, trans /and/ mixed race person. Your kind words and understanding mean so much to me I have difficulty putting it into words.
"LGBTQ" caught my eye. This is one of the reasons I love the yogscast. None of these amazing people are hateful against people. They make jokes, but overall, they are just so wonderful and they don't hate or discriminate and I love them all.
I used to go to a Christian School. I remember the awful hateful things that where said there. They had there students convinced that all homosexuals wanted to push there sexuality on everyone. I am so glad I don't have anything to do with that school or anyone who went to it anymore. Half the time they talk about love, then the other half they hate on people for been who they are.
Every time Kim Uploads these videos I realize that me and her have very similar opinions on things.
I also have to say, one of the things she said in a previous video made me realize and accept something about myself. My life has been happier since then.
Thanks Kim, these videos are great. Please keep doing them.
Arrusoh Sorry about your experience. I'm proud to call myself a pansexual Christian and we're not all like that. All the people from my church are perfectly okay with it. Jesus told us to love each other as he loves us and that is what my church focuses on.
AllonsyRapunzel All the Churches near me just preached hate. They constantly asked for money and made you feel guilty if you didn't have any money to give. When I had just lost my job they where rude to me because I didn't have any money (I was 15). Meanwhile the leaders would get new cars every year. and own multiple houses.
I still consider myself christian, but I am staying away from organised religion. I am sure there are churches that aren't like that, but I have no intention of going to a church again, too many bad memories.
Even though I am straight, I would be more likely to go to a church that are open to people been homosexual, since I don't want to deal with that hate.
Arrusoh It's a shame about those sort of churches. They drive people away from God. And I hope that you find a good church to go to soon. Of course, you don't need to go to church to love God. x
Hey Kim. I just wanted to say that I have begun coming out to my friends about being Bi and I couldn't have done it without all of you at the yogscast (especially you, zoey and Fiona) thank you for this amazing video and for everything you guys have done!
This year has been really hard for me. I'm studying music at Uni and like you said in your previous videos, I'm starting to get a little tired of it all. Eventually I started considering something with video games since it's my biggest passion but I didn't know what to do.
When I heard you talk about your experience at LIPA (I considered going there myself btw), considering a career in games journalism and even working around your dyslexia, it made me start to believe in myself since I could relate to it all so closely. Now after finding out about journalism modules at my Uni, I'm finding myself leaning more and more down that path everyday! Even if they aren't tailored to video games :P
As well as this I came to terms with the life long denial that I'm a trans woman. It was the hardest thing I ever did but everyday I find more and more people like you that just don't give a damn what you are and what you wanna do. And honestly that's the most relieving response to it I find.
Keep doing you, Kim! I find myself growing more and more confident with every video you make :)
Charmander's watching you from the corner of the screen...... and he's goddamn adorable.
Just when I didn't think it was possible to love Kim anymore.
I think my heart has exploded.
I don't see why so many yogscast fans don't like her. she's awesome
Thank you Kim, you are such a lovely person and this video is a real credit to you ☺️ thank you again. You deserve all of the support you get, you are just amazing.... ☺️
Thanks for mentioning asexuality, Kim. I'm not used to people actually mentioning it, and it's always nice to be acknowledged.
I haven't even seen the video yet Kim, but thanks for supporting transgender people like me because I know you probably do suppot the LGBQ, and T community. I love you so much thanks
Chrissy Voeten where are u from?
Fifa SkillZZZ Trickshots Skillruns and more! netherlands
Jelger Van der Weg I'm from the Netherlands
Yeah me to, Ik vroeg mij het gwn af, omdat je voornaam nogal engels is en je achternaam gwn nederlands. En als je engels was wilde ik graag uitleggen wat voeten betekent :P #VoordeLolz
+Chrissy V. (Catrina) you people have a mental issue
I love you Kim, you always know the right thing and can always help anyone who asks for it.! Love you
Wow, it was really interesting hearing your views on XII, XII-2 and Lightning Returns. That's probably the first time anyone has been able to explain to me why they disliked the games in a way I understood.
I went into them with the only FF game I'd played before them being Crystal Chronicles, and I loved them. They are easily some of my favourite games of all time, but at the same time, I had no idea about the other games being related to them, and I had no concept of what a 'good' FF game was.
I still find it unlikely that I'll enjoy earlier FF games more, due to being so used to XII's mechanics, but I can definitely understand now why so many people dislike them.
(Oh, and thanks for being so supportive of the LGBTQ community :D)
If someone doesn't give her an award for that amazing speech then I don't know who will.
Bravo you amazing human. You understand and I support everything you've said x GO LGBT!
I always remember creeping down stairs to watch M*A*S*H, but the truth is, I was laughing at my dad and brother laughing at it as I never understood it. Since then I have watched quite a few episodes and absolutely love it.
You are right Kim about the younger generation being more supportive of the LGBTQ community. I'm 15 almost 16, I have about 5 friends and a cousin that are gay or lesbian. And I am cool with it, like you said I don't care about your sexuality, all I care about is your personality and if your a nice person or not. Also whenever someone asks me about my sexual orientation (in a polite way) I always respond with some sort of variation of, I honestly don't know. I've never been atracted to anyone to consider having a boyfriend or girlfriend and the time will come when I know or not. So, you go Kim for your awesome viewpoint.
This video made me feel all nice, warm and cuddly. Thank you Kim.
You are my FAVOURITE person in yogscast with Hannah and Duncan
Extremely well-spoken as always Kim. You have a great way with words. Thanks for the video. Have a good weekend.
I've noticed a lot at school that we really don't care whether people are gay or bi or whatever! I really don't see the point at being angry at those kind of things , and if you are there's no need to be rude about it! In my view , everyone is a human ,and there's no point in discriminating .
"I haven't really stopped being a big kid" Kim you play video games for a living, of course you haven't!
Hi Kim, You should totally do some more content with Martyn, you seem to connect well in videos especially when you were talking to him on his 5toked podcast with both of you having lovely bubbly personalities! Maybe Mario Kart as you have both done videos on the game before?
A+ for being supportive and honest without pandering and self aggrandizing like almost all lgbtq allies.
Kim, you hit the nail square in the head with your LGBTQ answer. The only thing that matters is if you're a decent human being, and those that oppose these people are not. Thank you.
You're just the best Kim! I love watching your ask Kim videos!
The dance group is called 'The Prancing Elites'.
kim, as an Australian girl, that is publicly out as lesbian, i want to thank you for this video. ur so amazing and everything i wish to be!
Hey Kim I'm a christian and i feel like lGBTQ people are humans and should be able to choose whatever they want in life just like everyone else. Great vid. Hope you enjoy your weekend.
Being LGBT is not a choice...
Harry Dibbs It depends
if your bisexual you technically have a choice on whether or not to go for a guy or girl partner.
Harry Dibbs That's true, but Alphabet Brigade have made it appear that in many way's it isn't, with all this bi-curious stuff, and gender fluidity and other shit like that.
Harry Dibbs It may not be a choice but we have the freedom to act with our hearts desire. We have the choice to be who we want to be.
I've really liked you before, and after watching this I love you even more now, especially because of your LGBTQ+ speech (and of course the Pokémon). You are a really amazing person!
One of my close family friends is in the beginning of her transformation, and honestly, like Kim said, I don't care. They are the same person to me, and it would be wrong for me to say or even believe otherwise.
There is a growing amount of scientific evidence that being transgender is not a choice but a biological trait. Now I know that most sane individuals have known this for a long time, but having specific scientific evidence to support transgenders is great for making a strong political statement.
I really have to give you credit for the awesome comment section you have. Most of the time when someone starts geting 100k+ subs the community gets infested by trolls and assholes, yet here you are with way beyond that and your comment section is fairly devoid of those things, at least compared to other popular channels.
'I was such a dork!' What do you mean 'was'? You still are a dork and that's part of what we love about you. :)
That part at 9:58 - 10:33 is stuck in my head now XD
As soon as you said 'non-gender specific', I burst. I'm so used to people tossing my gender under the rug and I honestly expected the same from you since no one talks about us. This video helped me realize something impotant, thank you.
I really love your ask Kim videos and would love to see more.
Thank you for supporting lgbtq+ I'm pansexual and don't really have I gender I don't label myself with a gender and it can be hard sometimes even today I was I. Town and got stopped by someone asking me why I was wearing men's clothes and then told me to stop sinning but I'm not going to let that hold me back
Natalie Robertson I have the same problem. I keep getting asked if im a boy or a girl, as i dress in men's clothes. I identify as a girl + lesbian, but u really don't have to label yourself! Be who u want to be.
From the time you are born you can decide who you want to be
Natalie Robertson What were you wearing that made them think you were a man? Also, why do you say you have no gender? Why don't you just have people refer to yourself as she, given that you have a female body.
MrCool Mug g I was just wearing skinny jeans a men's baggy shirt and my hair was tucked into a beanie and I said I don't have a gender as I don't identify with being female , male or trans so I haut say I don't have one and people do refer to me as she I do refer gender neutral pronouns but female pronouns are fine
So I just *
I hope there was a Snivy plushy there who just happened to not get airtime! On another note; I completely agree with your views on how people express their opinion
I got this Kim! Your 80 hour gen 1 save vs my 70 hour gen 3 save.
😪That speech was beautiful Kim!😥
Plus your hair looks gorgeous on you!
YAY, i thought I was the only one who loved Star Trek as a kid!
I'm asexual which results in me being unable to spot someone's sexuality unless they're really overdoing it because everyone is so much more than the things they don't choose.
One thing we do choose is our view of others and mine is "if it doesn't affect me, I really don't mind" so don't go victimising yourself because you hate people you don't know for being a certain way that they can't change and are not going to use it to hurt you because...
WE MUST REMEMBER it's nothing other than LOVE 💗💖💕❤️👫👬👭
Be yourself if you want to be Gay or anything else be that way you are brave for standing up and choosing your gender to be and love!!!
This video made me feel good :,3 thank you Kim
Definitely diggin the new hair style kim! Try blue next maybe? :D
Your hair is awesome, Kim!
I'd just like to say that you are one of my biggest inspirations and watching your videos just makes my day better. Thank you!!! ///
and anyone who is scared of coming out don't be when i did it people laughed and made fun of me but they accepted me and thought i was brave for doing it.
I like your hair red it looks really nice :)
Oh my god love me some MASH. Watched that with my gram growing up. Rocoe's modern life was awesome also.
kim this video make me respect you even more you go girl
love you kim, your my favorite in the Yogscast!
That's the thing though, I have a feeling that if you looked at that crowd closely you would see a lot of older people. I don't know about other's but I feel like once all the old racist, homophobes are dead and gone and the newer generations are the one's in power the world will be a far more accepting and better place for it.
The answer isn't just to let people who disagree with you die out, that shows a lack of respect for our elders. We need to educate those with homophobic and racist views as to why they are wrong in what they believe.
Zepheros of shadows Yeah, but to me that isn't an issue, I think people are forgetting that context is a thing these days and that the context of words should be far more important than the word itself.
"Once we young kids are in control the world will be a much better place."
Said every generation ever.
And it's been true everytime. The world get's progressively better with each generation regardless what the previous one thinks.
Ian Roper Maybe technologically, but morally?
I'd have to beg to differ with you on that one.
i agree with Kim on this one, be whoever you want to be just don't push it in other peoples faces.
Jacob Mees Moog hahahaha :)
And this is why ***** is my favourite youtuber hands down :)
The plushy scene is literately going to be me in August when I go to Japan... Saved up much my student loan and all going be spent there I fear... Pikachu BLOODY KETTLE AS WELL! My god...
Basilbits All being trans myself, nice to hear your views on it! NHS route is hard... Wait queue of a year really hurts but you know got keep on swimming!
I fully support LGBTQ+ and I'm glad that the younger generation is, for the most part, very understanding. As a whole, we are moving forward. About that story about the dancers, if it really was in Alabama, then I'm very sad about that. I'm from Alabama and live here. When I can, I'm moving away from the south simply because I've yet to meet a single person here that has been fully supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. For the most part people here are very religious and very conservative, homophobic, and even sometimes racist. Hopefully we'll continue to move forward as a whole :)
thank. Kim. all ask kim goes goes my heath. thanks
on the subject of final fantasy, there is a similar game called lost odyssey and it is complete amazetits, if you haven't played it already Kim I think you would enjoy it thoroughly
The paradox of the matter (and similar ones) is that by saying you don't care and that we shouldn't make a big deal out of it you are making it a big deal.
Kim i will support you every video good luck kim
Yeah UK had MASH, I grew up on it, and Cagney and Lacey and Hill St Blues. Lol I watched adult stuff as a kid. Man I loved Rockos modern life.
Yeah... There is a road that's been recently built near me called bangays road, and yes it is intentional.
ItsJawsh YES!!!
I was really surprised by your list of favorite tv series' as a kid. Since you grew up all over the world, I really wasn't expecting to have heard of any of them, especially given that I'm American, but not only have I heard of them all, I've seen them all. I was particularly surprised that you mentioned MASH, since I grew up on that one and I'm about 13 years older than you. lol
I love Kim's hair. Red and black are my favorite colors
this video touched me in so many ways im so proud that that younger people are supporting LGBTQ
OH MAH GASH!! I have a gangar backpack too! I had a jigglypuff but gave it to my sister!!
you can watch pokemon on DisneyXD. Also Pokemon is my favorite TV show as well,
LGBTQ are people too. I've known several of them and they're just people. Really, as long as what you do isn't harmful or endangering other people, you should be free to do it. Along with the old prejudice, I think that a part of the problem is separating personal feelings from your overall opinions. For a while, I though of being gay as a bit weird, just on a personal level, and that's fading now the more I interact with some of them, but I have never thought that they should be treated any less than cis-gender or cis-sexual people. They're just people too.
Instead of 'I dont care' maybe use 'I dont mind'? I think that is what you mean instead, because you do care about the lgbtq people (:
Thank you so much for being awesome, Kim!
I'm not sure whether it's because my mum is a lesbian and if she's persuaded me to support lgbt but I fully with all my heart support light people . I think you are amazing however you are and I will support you forever.
Sorry I didn't mean light people I meant LGBT just my kindle tried to correct me
Kim you always make me feel happy cheerful and full of joy your videos inspire me all the time your my role model your an amazing person i would watch all of your videos if i had time i hope you keep making good videos and keep being awesome have a great day Kim. this might not make sense
