According to the commentary for this episode given by Trey and Matt, the whole reason for the Crab People existing is litterally because they were completely out of ideas and had no idea how to complete the episode.
Yea you can tell when it hard turns from societal commentary into absurdist humor
I’m so glad because the crab people are one of my favorite bits
The episode where they become reporters for the school news shows what happened. “I think we can do a little better than Crab People”
Yup, and ever since this episode, Matt & Trey use "Crab People?" as a shorthand to mean "Should we bail on this and do a dumb ending?"
I think their philosophy is that if you can't come up with a good ending, it's better to do a dumb ending than a bad one. I tend to agree.
lol, I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing
The crab people reveal was meant to be a placeholder but Matt & Trey couldn’t come up with a better idea for the twist
Crab people is a nod to conspiracy theories about queer representation turning people gay as a plan to eradicate humanity, it just went over most people's head.
The crab people is just pure silliness, Matt and Trey don't like it in retrospect but I love when it just goes so silly and crazy and the crab people are pretty iconic. A good follow up to this one would be The Cissy which is more relevant now than when it aired back in 2014.
I love your South Park reactions. You always have really great insight. If you haven’t seen it, the South Park episode The F Word is one to look into, as it relates to the way language and slurs morph over time.
Don’t over think the crab people. The writers have said it was their biggest cop out in terms of ending a storyline.
I’m lesbian and ever since my sister got a gay friend at work she walks into my apartment and announces “what’s up f*****?” Because that’s how her friend greets his friends. I know she has no ill intention but sometimes I wonder if I should tell her to be careful. I don’t even say the f word.
Just tell your sister that you’re not comfortable being called that. She’ll understand that certain words can affect people differently.
Hey I’m bi and I’m okay with some close friends call me gay slurs, just tell her you are uncomfortable with that word and ask her not to use it around you.
Context is everything. I know people who would never say these words but have some odd beliefs around LGBTQ validity. If she's more at ease but also will still have your back that's what counts. I'm guessing her friend is pretty fem probably uses the b word a lot maybe even the c. It all gets very convoluted but if there trust and no power plays going on 🤷♀️
It's really easy to accidentally hurt someone with words like that, i think she should maybe be a bit more careful with using them...
I mean this phenomena of straight men being "metrosexual" still has discourse today. Though now its more aimed at wanting a "bi looking man or nb" which mostly just means well dressed 🤣
The “Put it down” episode is also great, where Tweek and Craig are working through a legit issue.
I grew up with South Park, watched every episode as it aired since I was just a couple years old. People have been saying it's an offensive show for decades, one that "gets away with it" by "making fun of everyone". I'm so grateful to content creators like you reacting to this show and explaining to people that it was never offensive - it was subversive. It uses offensive language and ideas to communicate insightful truths about society. I've held very liberal views since I was a child, many of which were not accepted until more than a decade later, and I credit South Park with instilling that perspective in me. It's a fantastic work of social commentary that continues to pay dividends into the present day and I'm so incredibly grateful to see people finally recognizing the show for what it is and granting it a larger, wiser audience than it's ever had before.
I have tried my best to like South Park because most of my friends really loved the show and I just appeared to be a hater, but now I'm at the point where I don't hold negative opinions in my mind of people who love the show yet I still just can't stand it. Now that I know I have autism at 34 years old I'm going to try and give it another try because I genuinely don't like to dislike things. This is my Mt Everest 😂
@@ItsOkayToBeThis a lot of the episodes make references to very recent (at the time) news stories and I think a lot of the humor is lost if you didn't watch these as they were coming out. Plenty of episodes aren't as grounded in their moment in time but enough of them are that I imagine it makes it harder to get into. Has that been your experience?
@genegray9895 It might be? I'm not exactly sure. I over empathize I think quite often and I'm thinking maybe that's holding me back a lot from enjoying media that imitates anyone with a disability or a minority comedically and sometimes I just don't understand why it's funny although I have been able to deduce that there are nuances that I'm missing. It's mostly stuff like that just stemming from me growing up in my own head having to figure out society without any help and I think with shows like South Park it goes against everything I've taught myself. The one thing I do know is that almost everyone I have met that likes South Park is very nice so there must be a flaw in my reasoning that I am determined to figure out 😅.
@@ItsOkayToBeThis Good news, South Park will clearly articulate its argument for why its representation of disability is respectful - it's one of the points they make in several episodes. But I'll spare you the suspense. Their basic argument is that it's better to show disabled people on screen than erase them from media for fear of being offensive, and while the disabilities of the characters are always present in the show, the other kids never mock them. They're just treated like any other kid, the disability being a part of themselves but not their defining characteristic. Both Timmy and Jimmy have a lot of hilarious episodes that aren't really about their disabilities whatsoever. They're real characters, and the humor is never at their expense. I think that's a general theme with South Park tbh - they seem offensive at first brush because they're crass and obscene, but the actual substance of their stories, their messaging, is very progressive and ahead of its time.
@@genegray9895Oh thank you. I will keep that in mind when I watch it because that actually does help me out quite a bit ^^ any clues as to what I'm supposed to pick up on is great.
Speaking of reclaiming the word, you should take a look at the South Park episode "The F Word".
I said the same thing, that episode is hilarious
It's kind of sad how quickly we forget things. Every decade, every generation, every child or adult has their own time where they experience something that they feel is important and yet due to our limited life span and how we have evolved we forget those important moments, or they get overtaken by future moments that distract us. Youth is such a wonderful experience because we don't have to pay attention to the good moments or important moments, we can simply just live in those moments without worrying if we will lose them mentally later on as we age.
South Park reminds me a lot of those lost moments or important moments because of the humor and the fact that when I watch it I don't have to pay attention to the moment I can just experience it without the weighted pressure of needing to try and realize I'm enjoying that moment I can simply just be.
I understand the pop-slang language pipeline to be AAVE > gay circles and clubs > white women > anybody else
Where does “stealing” become “normalizing”, when mainstream ≠ acceptance. I’m seeing a lot of discussion around straight or straight presenting couples using “partner” to refer to one another, and it being another example of LGBT+ culture being co-opted
But isn’t normalizing such a gender-neutral term a positive? I feel so dumb when I can’t really see the issue
It's normalising if it's done to normalise. Like calling your opposite-gender partner for your partner og spouse - that normalises same-gender relationships.
If you're using things because you like them and think they make YOU sound cool, then it's not cool.
To some degree there has always been a cultural excange of things, and that will continue to happen - that is fine - we should just be mindfull of WHY we do it.
Every morning when I wake up i put on a beautiful Japaneese kimono that i bought on a trip to Japan - it's that nicest thing you'll ever have touch your skin (maybe except Tom Holland - one imagines), and i genuinly adore this.
I'm not wearing it to look cool and more importantly - no Japanese person was ever opressed because of their kimonos.
That's the distinction.
A southern black BBQ, we are welcome to cook as white people. Tight cornrows in white people - NO. Black hair and their styles were used as tool for opression. The language was used as tools for opression. BBQ wasn't.
Make sense? :)
I’m so autistic, i never realized you were apart of the lbgtq community until these past few episodes.
The voice didn't give it away?
oh my god same lmao. You actually have ASD? I do lol
Talking about the importance of gay bars being a safe place for gays reminds me of another South Park episode you definitely should see, season 11 episode 6 “D-Yikes!”
Also would really appreciate your opinion on season 13 episode 12 “The F Word”. GLAD criticized the episode but from what I’ve read online most gay people seem to like it.
"You're a gay guy that likes women" - How my friends described me in high-school in the 90s 😂😂
Catamites were the Roman version of the Greek eromenoi, teenage boys who took on older male lovers in a pederast relationship. Craig is saying that he's into older men, basically.
Mr. Garrison's frustration over straight men co-opting all of the worst stereotypes of homosexuality came from a conversation Matt Stone and Trey Parker had with friend and Team America: World Police producer Scott Ruden, who himself is gay and hated that Queer Eye For The Straight Guy was reenforcing gay stereotypes that homosexuals were so desperate to discourage.
So the episode's plot (aside from the Crab People twist, which Matt and Trey hated) was completely inspired by a gay man.
Im suprised you havent done the simpsons "gay episode" with john waters and how the only thing he had suggested was taking out the F slur for queer.
His reaction to crab people was great. Such a weird twist. I love South Park
I'm still waiting for when you react to Craig and Tweek's relationship!
I'm 36 and when I grew up gay was used as a slur especially in school, when I started to doubt my sexuality I kind of decided that I wasn't going to be like that because I was terrified of being bullied again. I really hope that its better these days for all kids
Apparently, some straight guys won't wash their bumholes in case it's gay. I was never a fashion gay, though I had my semi-cute and even occasionally sexy moments, but the sheer amount of time and energy (and money that I definitely didn't have) that keeping up with fads during the early 00s required was absurd.
Living kink life is tough, unfortunately.
We need to make bidets a thing in the UK
@@BarryStanton1488 I had one when I was growing up in Surrey, but we almost never used it. I think it came with the house.
@@thegreenmanofnorwich The ones built into the toilet seat are better
Is being hairy now considered "unclean"...?
what do you mean "now"? shaving goes back to at least 3000 BC
It all comes down to personal preference.
I'm so happy you brought up that our culture was borrowed from black trans women. It's so commonly left out in these discussions.
LMAO
It makes me happy to see there are mental health professionals with your level of compassion understanding and dedication to being a value to others. Thank you for the work you've done, those in the criminal justice system are truly often the "least of these" and so neglected. Thank you for inspiring me to be better.
I love these South Park analysis episodes, so good. Please delve into Tweek x Craig soon, it's one of my favourite episodes 😊
I just discovered your channel and I love your South Park reactions. I've binge watched them in a day. I love all the analysis and information you can get from a show that is sometimes seen as ridiculous (not by me, I think their satire touches serious topics very often)
Well I'm a straight woman, but my partner is NB and bi, so I can't help anyone with rather straight men shave and wash their bodies well, all I can say is my partner does. He's also not feminine at all. Boxes and stereotypes are weird.
If you're a woman in a relationship with someone who is not a man, you, my dear, are not straight. Technically speaking.
I have the same problem with my "box". I always clled myself a gay man, knowing full well that I also liked androgeny, but it wasn't till I started seeing a NB who told me: "You do realise, you're actually misgendering me every time you call yourself Gay, right?" that it even occured to me.
Now i call myself bi, if it matters and take the time to explain it - other wise i still just go by gay.
People often ask: What's the difference between "bi" and "pan?". To me: THIS!
I am not attracted to women, so i can't be pan, but i AM attracted to more than one gender.
I know "bi" means two, so i think we should start using to mean NB+1, and if gender is irrelevent (old fashioned bi), then it's pan.
Unless i'm mistaken, that would mean you're a bi woman in a relationship with a pan NB? :)
Thats why I love South Park they usually have a serious message in all there episodes more than just being silly. I tried explaining an episode to my friend "With Apologizes to Jessee Jackson" and she wouldn't watch it. I told her the whole thing has an important message, but you won't get it until you see the last minute. Sure, it dropped the N word way too much, but I had to make sure a someone I didn't want to get into a fight with watched it and it actually put a spark in his mind of not being ignorant even though he though he wasn't.
14:47 As a straight Latino man, we don't get offended if people wear Mexican garments like ponchos, Sombreros, or even dress up like us if they look a little cholo. We see it as them acknowledging our culture. Unfortunately, we are not fond of using the term "Latinx". With the PC movement insuing, it feel like more a take away or insult on our ethnic background. We would rather keep being called Latinos
Metro isn't a new idea. When Sweeney Todd came out, I Googled Fop, and it pretty much said that was the old definition of metrosexual
Kinda funny watching this, knowing you're going to be agreeing with Mr Garrison. =)
Southpark and you is just a banger. Thanks for the reaction.
While it might not have any real influence now, there was a form of slang begun by gay people in London in the 19th C, called Polari. Useful to have your own slang when your lifestyle is illegal. There are one or two interesting videos on it on this very site.
10:36 in the safe queer spaces, this is brought up in crazy ex GF nathaniel and white josh go to a gay bar and white josh unleashes an epic rant about straight chicks at gay bars. Then they sing "fit, hot guys have problems too" which i guarantee you would probably like.
Enjoyed the video as always and also loved seeing Gottmik behind you!
I LOOOOOVE IT WHEN YOU COVER SOUTH PARK !!! You're awesome💗
Perhaps the episode "Death Camp of Tolerance" would be a fun watch for you after this one
As a straight person watching this video i have learnt lots , but I sense undertones of "us v them beliefs" . I think helping making LGBTQ issues aware to the public is great . A recommendation, take it or leave it. Lets not divide an already divided society.
It absolutely cracks me up that you watch South Park 😂 what a legendary show
I read that a girlfriend was talking to her boyfriend about showering properly because she was getting UTIs. He said that he doesn't wash his bum hole. That he let's the water wash down his back. That washing his bum is gay. He is a ex now.
In the commentary I think they mention that ether a staffer or a writer who is gay talked about his or her issues with the meterosexual stuff and how they were taking gay culture.
On the topic of clean.. I forgot where I saw it, maybe The Click reading the dredges of Reddit, but you can find posts from doctors/nurses saying that cis-men are usually their least clean patients when it comes to hygiene. Others do better, to include gay men.
The safe space is the thing that always confused me. If acceptance is the goal why distance yourself from people that are accepting of it...
please do the episode called "Tssst", is where the dog whisperer "cures" Cartman 😂
Oh yeah, that episode is awesome!
Oooo Timmy was the best part 🤣😂😂😂😂
Seeing Carson in this, and then watching him on Roscoe's last week - just a legend ♥♥
"I'm half bisexual." 😂
Gotta love south park. There's always something interesting to me how animation can get away with screaming about societal prejudice in a way that 'real' shows can struggle with. As always, hearts to Elliott, really appreciate the time and effort you put in to make your videos.
Hey Doctor Elliott I love your videos and have been watching a long time You mentioned several times throughout this video about LGTBQ+ individuals being able to maintain their safe spaces. I agree with you, but I'm wondering what you think about women being able to keep their safe spaces such as locker rooms or women's league sports.
Have you seen the movie split? I think it’d be fun content on here. Such a great movie 😊
What do we make of Dr Carthy wearing a basic white shirt for this episode?
I think in this context, gay isn't necessarily seen as cleaner - but as being more into self-care. I also think if we went back to the original series, a lot of messy apartments, or long beards, uncut hair etc was really related more to depression than any sort of lax hygiene. But I dont think we started using those terms until the reboot.
A wholesome follow up would be Tweek x Craig (s19e6) - the coming out episode.
I remember when I first saw this episode. About half of it went right over my head. Hahaha. I was a smidge too you to be watching south park.
I had to teach my dad and my husband about using face moisturizer. They had both been taught that skin care was for women and gay men.
So a lot of the lack of hygiene comes from toxic masculinity.
Imagine thinking hygiene is a feminine trait lmao. Bisexual here, not super in depth with all the various skin care products, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna walk around looking like actual crap.
That was a very funny episode!
How about safe spaces for women?
*(Invincible title card) THE KITCHEN*
If you're looking more episodes to react to, the Futurama episode The Sting is definitely worth watching!
But of course, it was crab people!
As for the "is being clean gay?" question. I suppose straight guys can be seen as slobs, we're less likely to care about our appearance? Whether there's any truth to that, no idea. I assume that's where this comes from though. I know straight men who are clean and well-dressed, and I know gay men who aren't hyper-concerned with physical appearance and value being comfortable.
Can we do The Cissy next it's South Parks 18 th episode from the 18 th Season.
The Cissy is the third episode of the eighteenth season of "South Park." The episode focuses on issues of gender identity and the treatment of transgender individuals.
In the episode, Cartman claims he is transgender to gain access to the girls' bathroom at school, calling himself "Erica." The school, unsure how to handle the situation, decides to accommodate him by creating a special transgender bathroom, leading to a broader conversation about gender identity and rights.
Meanwhile, Randy Marsh reveals his secret persona as the famous singer Lorde, which he uses to express his feminine side and cope with his mid-life crisis. His secret is accidentally revealed by his son, Stan, but instead of being ridiculed, Randy's alter ego is praised, highlighting society's evolving views on gender and identity.
The episode uses humor to address serious and timely social issues, showcasing the complexities and challenges faced by transgender individuals in a comedic yet thought-provoking manner.
8:22 Funny enough this etymology was a topic in the S13E12 The F Word and how that word has come to mean something else due to plain overuse.
Being a young teen in the 90s, I thought metros were actually gay people who used the term to start coming out of the closet.
I recently came out as bi (been questioning since a young teen but repressed everything because of how I was raised so pretty much lived an outwardly cis life) but so many people told me they had a feeling based on my general mannerisms, like the way I sit or always wearing shorts under skirts/ dresses or because I'm not "ladylike" (I'm not a "tomboy" either). To be fair, I have seen some "If you do ___, you are bi" memes and I usually do whatever the blank space is, so maybe there are some subconscious Traits that can be viewed as stereotypes. Idk, just random thoughts before my morning coffee. 😅
Omg yes, I love this video so much!
Yes Craig later comes out as gay in Craig x Tweek
Anything that isn’t “toxicly masculine” has to be defended with this phrase “is it gay to …”. There is no more inbetween lol.
I haven't watched the reaction yet but I want to say. I am from America and I've lived in the UK for the past 2 years. A lot of Gay people in America are exactly like this south park episode. Over here in the UK people don't seem to be as flamboyant or in your face about it. I've been to Brighton and kept getting hit on by dudes that seemed totally straight to me and it blew my mind that they were not overly flamboyant. Also when I told the British people I was straight they respected that. In America they would call you homophobic for being straight when being hit on and not being interested in them. I'm excited to watch this reaction and I'm interested in seeing your perspectives.
_"Doctor Analyzes to South Park Is Gay"_
No English.
He probably changed "reacts" to "analyzes" but didn't get rid of the "to".
You should check out the Star Trek Deep Space Nine episode “Its only a paper moon”
Its the episode that solidified DS9 as my favorite Trek series
Its a great episode about PTSD
I was watching this thinking "wow some of this was really surface level looking back....but Kenny looks incredible" 😂😂
is this craig's origin story as a mean gay? I hope so!
Taste like crab, talk like people.
5:00 LMAO
Having a ton of beauty products and spending a great amount of time with polishing their looks outside the fitness studio is just not something straight men do nowadays. Still remember the shit my collegues gave me for tying a ponytail when i let my hair grow long, When i felt like painting my nails black as a grown straight guy, women scoffed at me, asking how old i think i am. When i bleached and manic panicked my hair orange for a month, strangers drove by me in their car to shout at me that red hair is gay. Or i was asked by macho men in muscle shirts if i knew that a guy like could get fucked if he waited in the bathroom stall for a minute. When i pierced both my ears, the reminder cards and invoices from my dentist were changed from Mr. to ms. without ever asking me. And i got a bouquet of flowers every time i got a new inlay from them.
... I'm into women and i'm a soft and quiet guy wearing old jeans and hoodies. And i always have a scraggly beard.
Does changing your looks from the norm make you seem gay to everyone else? you tell me.
PS: ... getting flowers is oddly nice, so i never complained. :D
Latino, personally, I really couldn't care less what people "culturally appropriate." You are free to express yourself in whatever stupid way you want. At the end of the day, it really doesn't matter. I got better things to do than feel offended by things like that.
Same. If you wanna eat tacos and drink tequila on a holiday nobody in Mexico actually really cares about, my family and I could not care less lol.
I’m sorry, gay slang started from black trans women? Who do you think they got that from? Perhaps the black women around them? It’s 2024 let’s be fr
Dr Elliott has been an inspiration and a great content creator from whom I have learned a lot. Nevertheless, I have quite a few points to disagree with him on this video.
1) Queer spaces being safe spaces for queer people. When he points out that straight people can be allowed in those spaces, that sounds awesome. Nevertheless, he considers that straight men shouldn't be allowed to hit on straight women there: that would weaken the purpose of the place to begin with, because that wouldn't be a safe space for gay people and straight women anymore. It is as if being a straight man and behaving in a certain legal and moral way would hurt both gay people and straight women. But women doing that wouldn't have the same effect. 🤔
2) That takes me to the next thing, which is women tend to be more accepting of straight men in queer spaces in my experience. Why wouldn't men be able to act ethically and still try to have fun in those spaces where he is... Welcome? I don't know anymore. And can women hit on straight men there too?
3) There are certain biases and prejudice attached to being from a certain group. I'm not naive: I know what biases are attached to straight men that helps create that judgment I pointed out on number two. Now, it takes me to the cleanliness, narcissism, elitism and so on attached to the gay community. There is a bias towards them regarding those terms: I agree. Can I jump to a similar conclusion (straight men hitting on straight women in queer spaces as something harmful because straight men are... sus?...) and regard the gay community as generally narcissistic, elitist and clean? That doesn't sound so good, does it? Nevertheless, in my area at least, gay people are well known to have female friends, sure, but most if not all of them are overly beautiful (and only them). Even a gay friend of mine agreed that gay men tend to look only for beautiful women as female friends. Am I saying every gay person is like that? Not at all! But... I would like to know others' takes on this. My point is: you have to agree that every bias has maybe some justification or no bias has any justification at all. Or is it that one prefers to applaud the biases that only affect other communities but the ones i identify with/highly regard?
4) Cultural appropriation is something that is usually used in places where that culture in particular can't speak for itself because no members of that culture are around. It is usually an attack thrown at people who know a little bit of it by somebody who doesn't know that much. Any Mexican in Mexico will tell you that an American/Brit etc. wearing a sombrero is cultural appreciation, a hommage, or maybe just cool.
Latinos complaining about cultural appropriation? Sure, they are the ones who were grown in the culture that uses that term to begin with. You won't see any Japanese complaining about anime all over the world. They appreciate the appreciation
Fantastic episode, thanks for the upload!
14:58-15:07 correct
whats it called when someone is the opposite of this? im fine with gay people but i don't like the stereotypical culture as shown in this episode
Caring for your personal hygiene and dress well used make you get called gay since it was a stereotype that many fashion designers are gays.
Thankfully we have kdramas now so everyone doesn’t assume you are gay if you dress well.
This is a serious issue/question, so please, no one get too offended.
I’m a straight man, so I acknowledge that this is an outside looking in perspective.
This dramatic increase in the numbers of the LGBTQ community, especially in the “T” & “Gender”community goes way beyond any data we’ve previously had.
Why would it suddenly increase tenfold?
I don’t believe the surge can be explained simply by increased acceptance, social contagion, etc. alone.
I have a hunch that many Cluster B’s are infiltrating the Gay community due to particular social advantages they can use and manipulate at this precise moment in time.
Some also may be completely unaware themselves, to quote the renowned psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter “Billy hates his own identity and he thinks that makes him a Transsexual”.
I think Gender Affirming care has removed some needed safeguards, that helped get people the appropriate help they needed and are currently allowing them to essentially self-diagnose. I’m not sure about the UK, but this seems to be an issue in the USA, where Doctors aren’t supposed to question their patients self-diagnosis, which is terribly concerning.
There’s been far more incidents of behaviors & treatment of others that were extremely rare to see in the Gay community, but are trademark Cluster B behaviors.
The Gay community has always been extremely supportive and welcoming and I believe that some people, with not the best intentions, are taking advantage of that.
I’ve seen behaviors, especially amongst the “activist” class, abuse of power, manipulation, control, etc.
I’m not sure what the solution is, I hope we don’t need statistics of dramatically increased violence of LGBTQ on LGBTQ before this is investigated or noticed?
I just see a potential for a perfect storm, with people from the Gay community being so sensitive to stereotyping and ostracizing, that they may not recognize or ignore clear warning signs and allow very dangerous people into their social circles and things going very badly.
I’d just hate to see that happen.
Like I said, I have no idea what the solution is, but it’s a potential issue I see and NO ONE is going to talk about this for fear of being labeled an -ist or a -phobe.
Just so we’re clear, I’m not talking about people with legitimate Gender concerns, I’m talking about predatory Cluster B’s., this can be differentiated with proper unbiased testing.
April 11th
never forget
Just for the sake of my own curiosity; can someone choose to have or to not have a phobia? Isn't a phobia an irrational fear? That term ( homophobia ) has always confused me. It's like choosing to be a theist or an atheist. You're either convinced or you're not convinced that a god exists. The only choice a person has is how they decide to act,
I find pride parades pretty revolting tho. Why is there nudity there
Should be 18+ only and/or have a dress code to prevent this.
If you want to see aggressive acceptance of homosexuality in the mid 2010s and how it can be toxic, I suggest tweekxcraig!
..Next week, St. Patricks day and made up Irish ancestries!
(South-Park is catnip for my ADHD by the way)
Would love to see you react to Hey Arnold! Season 4 episode 18, Helga on the Couch. Would love to see how a real psychiatrist reacts to Helga getting therapy on the show and how realistic the portrayal is. ❤
We American LGBTQ+ have a lot to thank UK Queer folk for, mainly Camp. I didn't discover Polare until my 40s even though I'd watched Are You Being Served for years (still adore John Inman as Mr Humphries) and while in my late 20s watched The Naked Civil Servant with John Hurt doing a nearly flawless Quentin Crisp. Also Monty Python. So thanks! 😅🎉😂❤😊
5:55
I think the “clean” thing that is associated with gay men is that it is “manly” to be a little dirty and all that.
So I secretly suspect the whole clean thing is a jab at the whole gay men aren’t men thing.
That’s just a guess though. 🤔
I haven't been around that many people in my life in general, and probably as a result of that that I don't remember having homosexual people in my circle of friends or acquaintances for any length of time.
While I'm a fervent believer in the "live and let live"-mentality, I struggle with coming to terms with overt, obviously ideological and incendiary homosexual or transsexual displays in media.
Watching, reading, listening and talking and thinking about media is how I formed most of my philosophical and psychological understanding. That's including positive insight and knowledge (and acceptance) of homosexual and trans culture.
That said, I find it distracting, sometimes even disturbing, to see regular old stories, such as Lord of the Rings for example, telling humanist, positive messages being lambasted and quite often actively ideologically attacked and subverted in the name of LGBT positivity.
In my view, just like heterosexual people need to weed out the bad actors clinging to antagonist and suppressive mentalities and tactics on their side, so does the LGBT movement need to do the same. It's not okay to otherise, minimise, and even culturally appropriate established characters and IPs in an attempt to "gain ground" like it's some kind of warfare scenario.
It's also not fair to hold centuries of grudges and oppression against me personally or the authors and creators I care about, no hurt you personally experienced justifies you (general you) hurting others in return.
In my view, everyone needs to grow in acceptance and wisdom, storytellers should be allowed and incentivised to tell the stories they want, be they with gay, minority or female characters or not.
I have my own personal challenges myself, which are partly the reason why I haven't met so many people. But for that reason I believe I can relate with the desire and the joy you feel when you are met with tolerance and acceptance. They are great and important qualities to have. But they should not be forced or intimidated. I have seen so much pain and damage caused by these social or economic pressures being put on people, studios, creators. While there is much left to be done, in some ways it has already come full circle, where people can be reverse-oppressed because they are white and straight, and that simply can't be the answer.
I don't think that September 11th was some seminal moment for the gay community, I think it was a seminal moment for all of humanity and you can divide life into pre September 11th and post September 11th... life was demonstrably different on the 11th then it was on the 10th.
Dr elliot: 'do straight people have so little identity th' me: 'yes.'
i think people should think about their faults (to me these would be faults as they would be against my moral thinking/views) and understanding where they originate from. most important thing to do when trying to be less racist/homophobic is to understand where these thoughts came from. especially if the thoughts are emotion based and not just learned information wich is easier to discard. beign aware that there is something in the back of your head that can affect your thinking makes it easier to not fall to those feelings. i have had to unlearn alot of shit from childhood and from society in general. also alot of biases from my personal experiences.
Jack and Karen are what made Will and Grace funny.
Hey Dr. Elliot you should watch the episode The F-word, they changed the definition of the word, "F*g"
"Straight people are such Hard work"... Now, ain't That the F'ing Truth!! 😉
Straight women taking from gay culture? Umm..... Let's pause and back up a bit. Where do those terms and phrases usually originate? Black culture- black gay culture- gay culture- white gay culture- mainstream/ CIS straight white women. I'm not even from the USA and this is common knowledge.
By the way when Craig called himself a catamite, that means a young boy used for sex by a grown man
Inclusivity is insane, you can't accept and like everything. Respect for others as humans is the only thing we should focus on
So you absolutely not missing anything. "Crab people" were initially introduced as just a silly place holder for what would be the real antagonistic force behind the queer eye guys/episode, but then it just ended up them doing actual crab people because it was funny and dumb
Randy in particular is suggestible, he's definitely the most suggestible out of everyone.
