My parents had the type of gender reveal in which they went to the hospital, I was born, everyone found out my gender, and then everyone went home.
The best kind of reveal.
i tried for that kind with my kid but instead i got the kind where the idiot nurses couldnt keep their mouth shut and told me. 🤬
THIS!
🤣🤣🤣🤣💯
This is what I'm doing, everyone in my husband's family is pissed. 🤣 waaa "can't get them anything!"
We told them we wanted gender neutral because we weren't going crazy on gender specific items when they are born anyway.
Scoffed "I'm not doing that!"
So now they have resorted to buying boy stuff without knowing the gender because "its always a boy" 🤦♀️🙄
I'm guessing someone is working on a nuclear bomb that has a colored mushroom cloud for just such occasions.
How the world ends: Not with a whimper but with a ‘It’s a boy!’
this will be elon’s next baby 😂
that reminded me of one physicist who discreetly informed a colleague of a successful nuclear test using the words: it's a boy.
Good idea, on it.
@@nukecorruption such a fitting name as well. Good luck!
The fact that I have never been invited to a gender reveal party means I must be doing something right in my life.
Just recently a pilot died in a crash after doing a fly over for a gender reveal party. The moment that his plane broke apart was caught on camera. None of the party goers cared.
Sociopaths
Who says they don’t care? Besides you?
Why would they care?
gender reveals of this nature seem like such a self-indulgent “look at me” stunt. It’s so distasteful
Exactly
I don't know. It's sounds harmless as long as you don't do it in a middle flammable field. It's just something fun and memorable to celebrate a soon to be born kid. Though I can imagine some people are crossing a line between a fun gathering with friends and a show of stunt.
Not sure what is distasteful with it. In a lot of cultures there are traditions and folklore about guessing the gender of the kid. People are always curious about it. Why not revel it in a fun way?
@@pingwingugu5 yeah honestly a cake with colored filling sounds cute and delightful
@@tristanneal9552 Yes! Or just put a little confetti in a small ballon and pop it open
Esp since the first gender reveal by that blogger was to celebrate that she had kept her pregnancy long enough for the fetus' sex to be determined (she had a series of miscarriages before this). The celebration was less intended to be "LOOK AT ME AND WHAT BITS MY CHILD HAS" and more "I've made it far enough along in the pregnancy without complications that we know the biological sex of my child"
On top of all that, the original 'gender reveal' party wasn't even about gender, really. It was about celebrating the mother, who had suffered miscarriages in the past, being able to hold a baby long enough for their sex to be determined.
so it's still a gender reveal
@@Tekape way to miss the point
@@therealaintain nope
We have something for that though, and its called a baby shower.
@@Tekape Yep.
When the kid in the first story is a teenager, if his dad ever tries to criticize anything he does, he can say, "Yeah, well you started a forest fire at my gender reveal."
Could legit say until the age of about 19
“You finished paying off my gender reveal yet?”
And then he proceeded to change his gender to pink (or any other rainbow color of his pick), LoL.
For those following along: The couple responsible for the Yucaipa fire have been charged with involuntary manslaughter (they pleaded not guilty, unsurprisingly) and their court date is Sept 15 2021.
This is a free country, I have the freedom to kill public servants with my freedom.
Your freedom ends where other people's freedoms begin, that's how it works.
Isn't it the El Dorado fire? They are trying to get the charges thrown out.
Update on court outcome?
@@andredeketeleastutecomplex Actually that is not true. The way laws and rights are designed does not actually follow this logic. Take parking for example. You parking in a parking space removes another persons freedom to park there, yet it is not illegal.
i feel so bad for the first woman, bc she only named it a gender reveal party bc shed had multiple miscarriages before this, and this was her first pregnancy to have reached the point where the gender of the baby could be determined. she just wanted to celebrate a milestone and it turned into all of this. shes spoken out against gender reveal parties so many times but they still keep happening
Crazy how a simple cake cutting meant to celebrate a woman finally being able to tell what gender her child was turned into a trend that caused deaths and multiple wild fires
@@itstotallynotsai6577 people are so stupid
As long as fools keep liking these posts they'll keep doing it.
It’s gone from what’s the gender of my baby to how histrionic can I be?
@@itstotallynotsai6577 ,yes, just stick with the damn cake!

Other than the firefighter who died, none of these people deserve respect
@@kingnotail3838 What about the innocent grandma-to-be who died? It wasn't her fault the parents made an accidental pipe bomb.
@@noriskguarantee15 What does that have to do with anything??????
I noticed
👍🙏😷
My wife is a schoolteacher and did a sort of gender reveal party for her class while pregnant with our first child. After readying the class, she had her assistant toss a single, pink balloon out across the room. The children had mixed reactions but mostly cheered. Unsurprisingly, no one was hurt and the school did not burn to the ground.
Gender reveal parties aren't the problem. People being unconscionably careless is.
My son’s gender was revealed by my doc when he yelled, “Look at the balls on this guy!” Not quite the introduction I’d imagined, but after 5 years of infertility treatments, we didn’t care! We had our baby (with big balls🤷🏻♀️)! Life was so much simpler back then!
That’s disgusting please don’t share that. The doctor was sexualizing your son ew 🤮🤮🤮
Funniest reveal I’ve heard
I pray for your kid to not read this lmao 😅
Cis people's obsession with the genitals of children is truly disturbing.
“We both laughed at our son’s big balls.”
- Colleen Hoover, Ugly Love, one paragraph before the graphic death of an infant child.
Kid: _"Where is my grandma?"_
Parents: _"Oh, we killed her while trying to tell her you were going to be a boy.."_
"Oh gramma? Homemade pipe bomb got her ass... yea"
“But I’m not a boy, I want to be called Loretta.”
@@OddityDK Nobody wants to be called Loretta.
@@daerdevvyl4314 maybe Loretta does
@@daerdevvyl4314 lol Loretta is from a movie. Life of Brian
It isn't about the child, it's about the parents showmanship and getting likes on social media. Pathetic. RIP to those that died 😥
Yup. I don't give a toss what's between a baby's legs, it's super creepy to even think about that stuff! Yet these people try to shove it in dozens of people's faces in all these destructive ways. If you ask me, the dad who died deserved to become a Darwin award. The parents who caused the blaze that killed all those innocent people should be rotting in jail.
That's exactly it Ruth very sad indeed.
F*** social media
For real and it makes me sad cuz I heard that allegedly the first gender reveal party was simply hosted because the woman having the baby has miscarriages time and time before, so she was so happy to be far enough along to be able to learn the babies sex. So she hosted a party.
Now it's just people trying to one up eachother
@@eminempreg if I remember correctly, I i think she even regretted that
That damn Yucaipa gender reveal party gave me months of lung and sinuses problems. I lived about 45 miles away from the incident. Everyone I know was basically a shut in except when necessary because of how incredibly hard it was to get that fire put out. It took at least a month. And to think that that fire fighter DIED.
I was in a Mental Health Residential when the fire from the last fire was burning. Typically, they let the patients out for outdoor time. But during this time, many of them were having asthma attacks, some of us were getting sick from the ash getting in our lungs. It brought down the mood over all. The typical stay was a month in these places. And it was hard not being able to see the sky and go out during the night to see the stars, which was a huge coping skill for me. The sky was a blood orange at times. The grass was covered in gray ashes that had been carried from the fire. But my struggles weren't nearly as harsh as the ones that lost everything and even their lives in the fire. Thank you for the brave people who fought that fire and kept everyone they could safe.
Why can’t people just say “it’s a boy” or “its a girl”?
The good old days. You'd think no one had ever had a baby before.
Yeah whatever happened to passing out them cigars with the reveal on it. The cancer risk was low cause the things were never worth smoking.
Yeah
Because its not good for the gram
@@JJ-iq8mi We announced our pregnancy at the halfway mark and threw in the sex of the baby as well. It was just an ultrasound of their head. No need for a huge fuss, really.
I feel bad for the woman who inadvertently set humanity firmly on the path to its own destruction by baking a cake with pink icing in the middle.
I mean, it's not like every person who repeats this or tries to top the last party doesn't have a functioning enough brain or at least have someone who does who might know of their plans and stop them considering the risks. This is why my faith in humanity is so low, it's not just one or a few, it's just too many idiots to keep major damage from happening.
the problem is that she though people could control themselves when 1 upping everyone else. she didnt count on the communal stupidity to make it a dangerous event.
whats worse is the reason this was such a big deal for her was that she'd had miscarriages before and this was the first time one of her babies lived long enough for them to find out their gender, like it was a genuine and sincere celebration and now i can only imagine the guilt she must feel for started this bs :(
She’s gone on record saying she regrets starting the craze
This sort of thing has nothing to do with gender reveal parties and everything to do with people determined to make a spectacle. If it wasn't celebrating their unborn baby's sex, it would have been the baby shower, the birth announcement, or some other excuse.
I lived in Yucaipa all my life before moving to the Midwest about three years ago. I was a college student when this fire broke out and my sister and I drove to the edge of the foothills to help my Aunt save her horses at her ranch. Not gonna lie, it was both rough and scary trying to move a frightened horse into a trailer while it rains down ash on you and you can feel hot wind coming off the mountain. Thankfully, her ranch was spared.
It is now 2023 (almost 2024) and any gender reveal party with a body count of less than 10 is now considered to be a massive embarrassment.
Imagine living in California, a state that easily catches fire, and placing explosives in TALL GRASS. Unbelievable.
I live in California, and even I think it's fucking stupid.🤬
Are there no laws prohibiting the use of explosives on tall grass?
@@mycatnamedseven-up9726 California wouldn't catch fire so easily if they didn't import all those non-native plants and performed actual forestry services like clearing dried brush.

@@embroideredragdoll there are, but it doesn't stop people from doing it in the middle of nowhere.
The sheer terror of losing your home, memories, pets, keepsakes to a fire is horrendous. Add in a firefighters death and for what? A Narcissistic social media gender reveal?Pathetic, infuriating, just humanity at its worst.
And it will continue simply because idiots think it will never happen to them. 🙄
What’s worse is it’s all about baby genitalia. Gross
@@jasonepstein8746 No what's worse is it killed a firefighter
Honestly these days, it's humanity at it's normal. Enough said. Humans are not an intelligent species. Not by any stretch of the imagination.
@@Mochrie99 they said, using the small highly advanced device humans made, capable of near magical feats by the metric of any living being. No, humans are extremely intelligent, which is why humans are also capable of choosing to do something so bloody stupid
I can't imagine the guilt those kids are going to feel when they learn about what happened, even though they are 1000% not at fault.
WILD that people saw a couple accidentally create a pipe bomb that killed their kid's grandmother and just decided to make even dumber choices. Imagine you lose your home, or even your loved one, to a fire and THAT was what caused it. The couple is now facing manslaughter charges.
BRO - NO PRISON!?!? PPL GET PRISON FOR SMOKING GRASS... THIS GUY BURNS DOWN 75 MILES OF GRASS AND NO PRISON!??
and all because he was “remorseful” 🙃
because people give a shit about nature I guess? I dunno it's rly weird.
You don't get actual prison for smoking weed. Just to be technical.
Intent matters.
He didn't inhale any of the grass tho

@@SangerZonvolt Ha! Good one.
That's a pretty sick way of putting it, the child is not to blame, the stupid parents are
@@SangerZonvolt Dude, I have asthma and you're bringing out the wheeze in me 😂
Well, it isn't Jr's fault! Hopefully they learned something from it.
If I ever end up having a kid, I'm just going to have an "It's a baby" reveal. All the decor is purple with no special gimmicks at all. Because in the end, who, aside from the parents, really cares whether the baby's a girl or boy? Everyone's just there for cake. Hell, I'D just be there for cake. The cake would be awesome, that's my only requirement.
You don't have a kid so you have no idea how it is when you do. If your family cares about you they are more excited than you are most of the time and want to know what it is. Just because you want to tell them what your having doesn't make you a bad person for doing it. My whole family was blowing my phone up before we left the drs office waiting to know. Them calling first wanting to be the first one to know it's not just narcissistic thing but it's also for them especially the grandparents. Not to mention my mother in law passed away before my son was born so she wanted to know what it was gonna be. Is that wrong to give a woman dying of cancer basically her last wish? These people in these comments are hateful and say you're a bad person for wanting to do something with your family. Especially if someone is having trouble having one like we did. These people in these comments are hateful and talking about people like me because I wanted to tell my family what I'm having. I didn't have a party but people still say I'm basically a bad parent because of it. Nobody gets to tell me what to do with my family or tells me I'm a horrible dad for that stupid reason.
@@fordshojoe8080 Hey, if you weren't one of the ones throwing a big party to try and one up others on the internet, then I don't think you're a bad person at all! There's nothing wrong with wanting to know these things; my comment was a little more bitter than I really intended simply because I've lived through a few more wildfires now than most people really ought to... I hadn't meant to make a sweeping generalization of *everyone* who's excited for that sort of thing, and I apologize if it came off that way.
The reason people in the comments are so angry about this is due to the overwhelming damage some gender reveal parties have caused, but those parties in particular were always done in the name of making something bigger and grander than the parties that came before theirs. I.E. going from cakes, to party poppers, to outright making homemade explosives. It's a purely narcissistic thing, a sort of internet fad chasing "arms race"; for those sorts it's not really the "gender" part that concerns them, rather the "reveal", a chance to do something big, expensive, and showy.
In that sense, I can guarantee you're not included among those people, as well as others out there like you. Nothing wrong with wanting to know, and nothing wrong with being excited about it!
They actually make onesies now that just say "It Is A Baby". It's the perfect response to these things
Why pick the ugliest color though?
@@StrazdasLT Cause purple is a mix of both color families (blue and red/pink/etc),so it's as gender neutral as you can get
My dad really wanted a daughter, having two sons and a still birth daughter many years earlier. I was born and my mom's doctor wrapped me in blue as a joke. My mom was telling my dad I was a girl and trying very hard to unwrap the swaddle they had me in to prove it.
That's funny 😅.
Funny doctor
So are you a boy or a girl?
Why are cis people obsessed with the genitals of children? It's creepy.
I'm a wildland firefighter and my crew and I watched the livestream of Charlie Morton's memorial. I almost cried and I'm still so angry that someone's husband, someone's father, firefighters' friend and crewmate had to die just because people wanted attention. They should go to jail.
I agree. And thank you for your service. Allow me to be devils advocate, none of these fools thought a fire would occur and had no intention to harm people or property. Culpable, are the products/companies made for this one-time, useless activity, and the many people who glamourized it, made it seem harmless. One reason I support imprisonment, is so that a person isn't destroyed by guilt and shamed, one must feel they were punished for a loss of life, property if they are to move on. But, I don't believe one or more people should be forced into suicidal feelings by the entire community. Your comrade perished needlessly, but please acknowledge, it's a dangerous career, and whether he perished by a preventable wildfire or a nature caused one, the results are the same, and anyone of you could have same fate. Though I respect your courage for battling fire. Again, I am playing devils advocate. But, I agree: punishment and prevention is necessary. Thank you. This is my only serious comment on here. The rest are jokes, but no disrespect meant towards your line of work, which honestly, is the most dangerous, necessary work on earth.
@@thereisnosanctuary6184 With the sheer amount of damage those morons caused, not even just the death of that innocent man, prison is looking pretty reasonable right now, honestly. Multiple buildings gone. Houses burned down. Miles and miles of nature destroyed. And the life of a man who had to deal with the consequences of someone else’s actions. I don’t care if they’re remorseful. That was a stupid ass thing to do
@@suckonmahd
That kind of damage, though negligent as opposed to malicious, does require some time. I personally don't believe in destroying a person, they gave a family to raise, but a year sounds right. It does not undo damage, but helps with atonement and sends a message.
@@thereisnosanctuary6184
Not just a year in prison though. They should be forced to see the entirety of the destruction they caused, in person. Force them to walk a couple hundred miles through the burned forests and grasslands.
@@brandon9172
See, what you want is revenge. Yes, that particular person will feel awful and that particular person will never use a gender reveal bomb again, or probably ever go into the woods.
I would make the manufacturers of all products used have to take same tour. And high school students, the key is prevention, education. Not punishing every fool. This thing became too easy to do. And widely celebrated. In a war, you don't capture one soldier and execute him. You demoralize and deprive the entire opposing army.
My favourite is the recent one where the Dad blew himself up with a "device made out of a pipe" as the papers put it, while the family were all saying how tragic it was and how they couldn't of seen it coming.
Yeah, I also could never of seen how a pipebomb was ever a bad idea.
"And the baby's gender is...Dad's dead."
People without foresight can never see anything coming.
*couldn't have seen it coming
I guess the dad really didn't want to pay for child support
@@jvccr7533 Well yeah it was incredibly foolish of them, but it is still someone's loved one that died (stupidly, yes) at an event they were all probably enjoying each other until it happened.
@@89RealThe It's certainly a day they're going to remember now.
Thank you for always taking the time to mention the innocent victims of the disasters you cover. So many others just gloss over the deaths that shouldn’t have happened.
Good to know that the couple who caused the El Dorado fire is been charged with involuntary manslaughter now.
One detail that wasn't mentioned was that the couple who had the 'first' gender reveal party (the small, cake one) did so because the woman had I believe miscarried several times and this was the first pregnancy that developed enough to have a detectable gender. But then other people went nuts....
That’s correct. She also no longer supports gender reveals, and that child is now gender nonconforming. What’s really horrible is because of the disasters other people have caused, she gets constant hate mail and threats. All just for trying to celebrate that her child made it that far into the pregnancy.
To think this was all to be a comfort for parents who had suffered through miscarriages and to celebrate a whole baby being born... Not even a healthy baby at that point! A living baby is how low the bar we're putting it. That was the point. It was just to be a comfort for parents who were getting a "rainbow" child after much loss and pain.
This movement was intended to be a comfort for families who had suffered tremendous emotionally.
The mother has written extensively on how heartbroken she is that people have taken this to the extreme and how she adores her first born, who is gender non conforming. It's about having a living child!
Oh that's just perfect. The first "gender reveal party" and the baby in question is now gender nonconforming. This is why I get annoyed. You aren't finding out the gender of the baby. You're finding out the physical sex. But I guess "sex reveal party" sounds nothing like what's actually going to happen at the party.
@@Luubelaar No, "sex reveal party" is how you got the kid. I don't think anyone would attend that. No one I'd want around me, anyway.
@@Luubelaar It's really more a "genitalia reveal" than a gender reveal, but they go by "gender" anyway. Also gives them excuses to tack on more nonsensical gender stereotypes to the party ("blue or pink?" "trucks or tutus?" "guns or glitter?" "sports or shops?")
If I remember, the blogger who popularized it initially had many miscarriages and a big reason for the party was that her unborn child had actually made it to the stage of development where sex could be determined. She never meant or wanted it to be all of this.
That is the most depressing thing about this, a woman just wanted to celebrate that her child might make it and this happens
I still think that the people who planned it should have been a little more careful. But no one could of anticipated the destruction that happened.
@@rejectrealism They placed explosives in dry grass in _California_ of all places, a state known to catch fire alot. They should've known it would've went south!
She holds 0 responsibility for other people's stupidity and tendency to ruin a good thing
Every single thing she started was positive
What really gets me is: those people are like small children who all get a balloon to inflate and everyone wants to have the biggest one. But in the end the balloons burst and everyones crying.
Not only are gender reveals gone wrong horrifying, but they also have the secondary horror of knowing the stupidity in most cases, not all came directly from someone who recently reproduced.
The moment he mentioned colored baby powder, I immediately had flashbacks to other videos describing how flammable a powder can be, yikes! 😬
I can hear the Chemical Safety Board incident narrator....
My wife's an ultrasound technician, and whenever she's scanning pregnant women, they ALWAYS trying to find out if it's a boy or girl. My wife is there to scan for heartbeats and to see if the fetus is viable and developing normally.
She's like, "These people aren't at all concerned about the health of their unborn child. Or sometimes they're upset they aren't having what they wanted. They don't seem to care that they are having a healthy child."
Just be grateful for what you get, a lot of people spend tens of thousands and years just trying to get pregnant. And stop getting people killed just for some social media likes.
Yeah. It's ridiculous to me. I fail to understand why people think other's gender is such a big deal, and I fail to understand how someone could be DISAPPOINTED that their child is a certain gender. It isn't going to change their personality or interests or anything important unless you let society decide.
I agree it is strange to fixate on either having a son versus a daughter, but I think a large part of it is that it gives more breadth to an unborn child like makes it more “real” to the parents to be
@@pyrettablaze4325 that's true!
I remember my wife asked me whether I was hoping for a boy or a girl. I said I was just hoping for a healthy baby, I didn't care about the rest. As long as it had two arms, two legs but only one head, I'd be happy.
Thats so sad and it sounds like a lot of people shouldn't be having kids.

My gender reveal was pretty wild…. my mum gave birth to me and the doctor said ‘it’s a girl!’. Pretty hardcore and elaborate if you ask me.
Mine was like that as well, except the doctor turned out to be wrong.

The gender reveal fire as well as the others that happened at the same time produced so much smoke that the area where I live quite literally had some of the worst air quality on the planet while this was going on. The smoke filled our valley and was so bad the schools, which were just starting to reopen as pandemic restrictions lessened, were shut down because of it. We’ve had many previous incidences of smoke so thick it completely obscured the mountains around us, but this was the worst we’ve had since my family has lived in the area. It turned the sky brown and the sun red; one morning I woke up and looked outside to see that the sunrise looked very similar to those synthwave sun images. It was possible to look directly at the sun for a long time without your eyes hurting. We had to stay inside all the time - no evening walks or relaxing in the backyard - and even then the smell of smoke was pervasive and ever-present. It was horrible. My dad and my sister had it even worse as they both have asthma, and my dad’s lungs took a long time to heal, which was only compounded when he got covid later on (he’s doing fine now, thankfully). The fact that all this was the result of a gender reveal gone wrong was and is beyond sickening to me.
It is a sheer pleasure to listen to your perfectly narrated stories, the language and diction rarely found on YT.
Thank you.

I lived in California my whole life and I remember the recent 2020 wildfires clearly. I remember seeing huge smoke clouds and the flames flickering red at night in the far distance. I was so mad that a family could be so stupid, literally no one could believe it.
First time I heard of a gender reveal party was about 10 years ago. A friend of mine said she was going to a “sex party”, to which I responded, “why the hell wasn’t I invited”! When I found out it wasn’t the kind of sex party I was thinking of, I wasn’t so upset about not being invited…
Lmao 🤣🤣
Sex and gender are different things anyway 🤷♀️
I just called people and said it's a boy. No fires were started, no people were injured and grandma lived to see her grandchild. 👍
Future parents can also get a cake baked for them and the color of the cake will reveal the gender of the baby. Another safe AND tasty method :>

I'm becoming quite the follower of this channel. The stories are well told, always interesting and to the point, without repeating the same material over and over again. At the end of each video, you feel like it was well worth your time, because you've learned something you never knew before. The facts appear to be well researched, as well. Thank you for this channel!
Back in 2013, after finding out the gender of our second child, we did a mini gender reveal and bought some pink doughnuts and put a picture of them on Facebook. We ate all the doughnuts ourselves! However the best gender reveal came on the big day when our daughter actually turned out to be our son 😆

Well I guess he won't be celebrating any more gender reveal parties any time soon lol
Natural selection
Perhaps a Darwin award winner in the making?
Hopefully that kid is an only child - and one that learned from their father's idiocy.
Im not sad about that happening to him
He can go to his wife's boyfriend's reveal
I remember all too clearly how life was before the computer and internet came along and I must say things were much simpler then. Once Pandora's box has been opened there's no going back.
Unfortunately.
My gender reveal didn’t happen until I was 16 and I’m still waiting for my cake with blue frosting in it (no but I’ll genuinely do this when I feel like coming out to my extended family, I could probably get my mom in on it too)
"Daddy, why don't we ever have money?"
"Well, son, we wanted to tell everyone that you were going to be a boy and instead of using something harmless like icing or balloons, we set off some explosives, causing a huge fire. Now we have to pay for the damages."
"That was dumb daddy."
"Now about your college tuition fund..."
Don't forget the red flag warning that was ignored!
To be fair, balloons aren't harmless either, they create a lot of waste in the environment.
That conversation is definitely coming.
@@InFiniTosEntertainment and kill wildlife.
anyone who does this idiotic stuff shouldn't be having kids in the first place.
Took the words right out my mouth. I feel bad for the kids knowing their "gender reveal" caused a major disaster and cost lives. Imagine the unwarranted guilt
lol okay. easy for you to say that. Gender reveals are a completely normal thing to do. They didn't intend for it to go wrong.
or operate a chainsaw, or drive an automobile or own a firearm...
@@TubeAngel its not normal for someone who has no idea what they r doing to mess with explosives. Even ur everyday idiot can go buy some tannerite and follow the directions without killing themselves, someone else, or causing a wildfire.
I think it's a cool idea especially with the surprise factor (I mean the cake with colored icing inside)
I just handed my husband a “you’re invited” card with a photo of my first ultrasound. He thought we were going to a party for someone else who was pregnant. Um, nope! Just us!
Can't believe I only found this channel last week! Great content, thanks.
Gender reveal parties are tacky af, to think people have lost their lives because of something so unimportant is disgraceful.
I think if I had a 'gender reveal' party it'd be a few drinks with mates and the cake would have green frosting in it or something. None of this blue or pink nonsense.
Not sure why people can't do the cake this. I did the cake reveal twice and then just basically told everyone my 3rd baby was a girl. That was in the beginning of covid so, no party lol.
Not ONLY normal people have done it but famous people have done a "gender reveal" party to I know kim kardashian HAS done a few gender reveal party's for herself and her sisters and other famous people had done these to all in california
When my family did one for my older sister (they didn’t do it with me because everybody already knew I was a girl because my parents found out they were pregnant hella late) just used the cake reveal. But this time with cupcakes.😃
@@Ashenicky2009 why even have a party at all ? There is over 7 billion people on this earth its really no big deal what sex any given one turns out to be
You know what they say: You know it’s gotten bad when a horror channel starts to cover it
human stupidity can be horrific
Setting off an explosion in dry grass, during a wildfire alert? Brilliant. His son will be born into a legacy that few will ever know. I hope he named him "Blaze"
It’s crazy that she was just trying to celebrate being able to carry a baby long enough to find out the gender, she had a history of miscarriages, and now her child is non-binary. And it started this whole trend .
This won’t stop until people start getting some hefty jail time for what is basically arson.
Arson is an intentional setting of a fire. When it's an accident, even through your own stupidity, it's negligence but not arson.
@@Transilvanian90 Okay, then call it negligent or reckless arson as people are punished for misusing firearms for similar celebratory events.
@@Transilvanian90 says the person who uses “it was an accident officer” as an excuse for his/hers stupidity and lack of any common sense
@@Transilvanian90 Setting off explosives in tall grass in a fire watch area is about as "intentional" as one can be when starting a fire.
The last one was smoke. Many people don’t associate smoke bombs with fire..,
Somehow forgetting that where there is smoke...
...there is fire.
But at least it wasn’t an accidental pipe bomb or deliberate use of explosives or fireworks, as with earlier reveals.
People _might_ actually be trying to better about this, but critical thinking is not a trait common to everyone.

FH, your videos are amazing to watch at night the music is amazing to go along with it and its so nostalgic 😆😝
I live about an hour south of where this happened! September and October are always high alert fire seasons! In 2020 when this happened, we were in the middle of a 7 year drought and it was drier than normal=the year before, I had to evacuate because of a huge fire in our area. I can't believe anyone is stupid enough, especially in Southern California, to use anything that has the potential of even a lone spark because sometimes that is all it takes~!
Gender Reveal just seems hugely cheap and tacky. I don't know if that's just my old fashioned British way!
Very, very cringeworthy.
Sounds very American doesn’t it
It isn't just you, we hate this whole concept, why not just keep the unknown filling cake? Instead of going with pipe bombs and wildfires!
@@thesymbiotenation.4552 I think it shows some self obsession on behalf of the parents, but yeah your right
It is utterly crass, yes, you are absolutely right. Cringeworthy as hell. Something done by morons who seem to think they are doing something special but in reality are just showing their stupidity.
@@thesymbiotenation.4552 the cake idea is pretty cute, and works well. But people always have to one-up each other. It’s sad, really.
The fact that i've never been invited to one of these means i've cut the right people out of my life
Yep I'm good too 😄
That's how you know you're on the right track.
💖
🤣🤣 and IF I should get invited, I’ll politely decline.
@@immafaint673 your username is fantastic! 😍🤩😍
The fact that the inventor of gender reveal parties had a child who turned out to be non binary? Best plot twist EVER.
I love this channel been watching all day!!
Imagine if people dedicated this much energy, time and money into just helping their communities.
Not enough explosions.
Sweet, I like that idea.
Are you "people"? What have you done?
@@justtime6736 and you’re a bored meme account. What was the point of your comment cause mommy and daddy aren’t gonna notice you doin this
Or even, like, raising their actual child...
Honestly, I cannot think of these people ever being good parents. They themselves have such little regard for nature and human life, and also exhibit very low decision-making capacity.
Do Americans always HAVE to include explosives into everything?
@@KingofHearts I think its just humans in general, people like explosions
That's a good point; the very nature of these things suggests irresponsible decisions lie ahead!
@@KingofHearts No, but that hasn't stopped us from putting them where they don't belong
By putting their self-obsession, self-indulgence, & general emotional immaturity on full display, they prove exactly why they should not breed. It casts doubt on their ability, or at least willingness, to assign the proper level of importance to the kid.
I can understand the excitement over whether it's a girl or a boy, a nice party with friends and family is something I support. But, when the obsession with social media kicks in and makes you want to throw big and explosive reveals... makes me really dislike the general public. Most folks are not stupid like that (I would hope), most people I dare say would be more than thrilled with pink and blue themed cakes and maybe a firework or two. But I've seen a worrying trend in stupidity overruling logic.
edit: reading the comments and knowing gender reveal parties were started by a lady who wanted to celebrate after miscarriages makes this all so much worse! People can be so selfish and cruel.
The need for attention is a normal human thing, but social media has brought it to the point of ridiculousness and it has become a serious danger on both social and personal levels.
oh my gosh really?! They put the box with explosives in dried TALL GRASS... wow, I'm amazed how noone pointed out the hazards... JUST CUT THE DAMN CAKE PPL
Cake or Death?
Same, I can't believe a group of adults couldn't put 2 and 2 together.
@@Kanadkun uhhh...cake, please
Right ... its supposed to be a mild, fun thing ... safety was seriously overlooked in several of these examples.
A dad just died a few months ago with a gender reveal bomb. Didn’t even get to meet his new baby. Smh.
Yes, an expectant dad in New York making a homemade explosive
There needs to be a public campaign to re educate people about the dangers of explosives, and playing with matches
> gender reveal bomb
This is such an absurd concept.
This is the one I was thinking about during the whole video. To think that one day the Mother will have to tell her child that,” Daddy died trying to make a cool bomb for your gender reveal” It is sickening!
@@whitedragoness23 And Smokey the Bear needs to come back to TV! Teach people about forest fires and fire in general! How did we get to this point? So many stupid selfish entitled people! Lord help us!
"Hey, guys. Check out this cake I made"
"Genius. I'm gonna make a bloody bomb"
Really enjoy your videos but wish they ran alot longer to help me rest during the long night's since my husband died, alone on the farm i listen to you every night find your voice very soothing very calming, but to short, great work, thankyou
Let’s not forget about those people that fired a cannon at a baby shower and killed their friend...
I'm sorry the people who WHAT
@@ohno8398 yea it was like a month ago
Yes this was in Michigan. In another, the expectant father in New York was killed, in February this year.
Cannon father
@Alice Kae we don't have to imagine anything, we are literally watching a mini documentary about that right now. Your comment is so obsolete, I had to reply.
In 2005 my wife revealed our baby’s gender by putting a pink onesie inside of a blue gift bag. It was a surprise, No danger, no damage.
That's a pretty smart, plot-twisty idea your wife had there. Hope you and your family are doing well! :D
becaus this is what the OG inteanted
There’s so much narcissism with some of these people. You’d think that they were the first people in human history to have a baby.
We had an awesome gender reveal...it was amazing! I was laying on the bed at the ultrasound place & the sonographer said “oh hey, see there? Little girl!” & my husband & I said “awwwww, a girl, that’s lovely”. Then afterwards we went home.
Nobody died? Pffft
I hope you actually wanted to know.
@@clumsypuff yeah. There was a form to fill out when we arrived & one of the questions was if we wanted to know the sex if they could see it.
In honor of your little girl, I will go burn down a spotted owl refuge / California condor habitat with a dangerous homemade concoction of chemicals and explosives. If we are really lucky this gender reveals party will break the record for cost and wipe out 2 species, thereby getting 3 birds stoned at once.
My experience too, only I had a son.
A second firefighter died as an indirect result of the El Dorado fire. A friend of the man killed, also a firefighter, ended his life not long after. It's thought that the two events are linked.
Its a shame there is no free health service or mental health service available for people who really need it.
@@DontStopJaime free or even paid for by taxes efficiently spent.
Baby naming parties sound like a good alternative until somebody lights "BRAIGHDEN" on the side of a mountain and sets California on fire again.
"Dickey, who was hugely remorseful for his actions, escaped prison." Er... perhaps _avoided_ prison. "Escaped prison" means something a little more... dramatic.
Imagine being the child of a gender reveal party
“Hey Timmy, people died because your parents wanted to reveal your gender for clicks and views, which in the grand scheme of things was entirely pointless”
Not just people, that grandmother and a dad has also died because of it. ugh
Timmy: "Actually, I go by Tammy now. I'm trans."
How ironic would that be? I don't know why people bother with gender reveals when trans people exist.
@@pinapplehappy1996 I was thinking the same thing!
@@pinapplehappy1996 because, I mean, they are still BIOLOGICALLY male/female. The glands, hormones, organs and such are still there. They can choose who they want to be, but you can’t really change everything.
@@the4tierbridge eh, in some cases they get surgery, but yeah. I 1000% support them but I also agree w/ you.
My aunts gender reveal was great! She called my mom and said it was a girl!... and no one died!!! Really impressive feat there apparently .-.
So inexpensive and yet meaningful.
But you forgot to mention how much gunpowder has your aunt set on fire to make the call.
More "parties" should be like this! Instead of getting together, catching up, spending time with loved ones for the day, it should be a 1-minute phone call.
"Merry Christmas!" "Same to you!" _Click._
Keep it simple!
@@nthgth yes, quick and effective. maybe the next time this aunt will deliver this very important information to her sister telepathically.
The interesting thing is that I actually drove by the park on the freeway when I was driving up the highway 5. There were tons of smoke that day and it was super hot and dry.
Absolutely horrible. Awful, Awful people causing such harm.
Gosh this topic alone. Deaths that coulda been avoided by just not doing so much complicated things for a gender reveal.
For real. When we announced our pregnancy, we just casually threw in the sex of the baby. It was just a post of the ultrasound. No need for a fuss imo.
they could've just sliced a cake or pop a balloon like every other family does
Or just not having such low self esteem that one would need to do such things.
Call me cynical, If a gender reveal party would kill the pregnant mother of a twin, it would be world news, even further increasing the popularity of these parties...
Not to mention that most people have nothing like a gender reveal party. They're more concerned with things like being healthy and getting the house ready for the baby. The popularity of showing off your party on social media creates the idea that everyone is doing it.
Proving, given the chance, people never pass up an opportunity to show off their utter stupidity!
it seems to run in extended families.
I know. There's something deeply unsettling and downright creepy about throwing a party just to celebrate whether or not a fetus has a dick.
You could of proven that by being on Twitter
@@manifestationsofasort UA-cam is the only social media I engage in; if it’s even considered that. In my opinion, the kind of people who do the stupid things of this video are those who indulge.
The 2020 gender reveal fire was awful; everyone in my family were evacuated because of it.
The effects of that fire still linger in the local hiking community; a lot of hikers get lost because of the burned out areas.
It is amazing how easy it is to start a wildfire. Any open flame no matter how large or small and a little wind and there you have it. You could probably do a general a vid on wildfires due to carelessness.
I’m pregnant and couldn’t be less interested in a gender reveal party. We’re keeping the gender quiet until birth. I just don’t want all the fuss.
Yeah, my cousin just kinda casually announced it at the baby shower. She didn't see the point in making a big fuss over it. They put a lot more focus on baby-theming everything. Well, her sister did. I suspect the mother probably wouldn't have cared all that much about the games and party stuff. She just wanted a cake and to see a bunch of friends/family members that she hadn't seen in months because she and her husband moved about 3 states away.
Congratulations! How far along are you? We could be close. I’m 17 weeks.
@@rubyslippers1935 Wifey has her 21 week scan on Wednesday. Congrats.
Good for you. Be it a boy/ girl. I'm sure they will grow up in a loving, caring family. I know ppl. to this day that are NOT swept up in all THIS.
Congrats! It's good to hear about a mom who just wants to be a mom and not having a like farm with by using babies.
Social media really brings out the worst in people
I like that the escalation of these disasters implies that this will just continue until someone starts WWIII with a gender reveal gone wrong.
I'm curious to learn more of the pathology which afflicts parents who host gender reveal parties.
Thank you for including the picture of the firefighter. He died for no reason. So sad.
He died to save other people from dying for no reason.
He died to save other people.
He is a Hero, nothing less.
I think the creator didn't want to give the attention-desperate narcissistic parents any more attention. That they should receive from the sheriff's office.
He deserves to be honored as the heroic person whose life was taken by the parents-to-be.
