Lore of The Consumerist Dystopia of Harry Potter momentum 100

I lost trust in oscars when they nominated barbie and mission impossible, and neglected john wick 4, beau is afraid, creator, asteroid city, ferrari !

I remember learning about Frida in middle school and I thought she was awesome! I would read books about her, watch documentaries about her and I studied her paintings. My family thought it was weird that I admired her so much because she was “So Ugly” to them and the fact that she was bisexual made my homophobic dad constantly say stuff like “If you end up liking girls because of her, I’m kicking you out” (I’m straight) The person who questioned it the most was my second older sister. We shared a room so she was tired of seeing me reading books about Frida and she even ripped off a print that I had bought of her painting “The Two Fridas” off the wall next to my bed. She said she hated seeing her “Ugly” face and that no boys would date me if I tried to look like her. Fast forward to now, Frida all of a sudden exploded in popularity and now people are treating her as a mascot rather than a human. My sister is no different. All of a sudden she loves Frida and even bought herself some clothes from the Frida collection that Shein had (I hated it so much)

choice words

Why would you not bring a sexy attractive women on your trip if you can?

Biphobia is lame. Like seriously, why do we have to complicate things by pulling these bigotries out of our bums? Things are already a mess for the LGBTs.

I've never watched any of your videos before, but I have to commend you on this video essay. You must have put so many days of work into it. Well done. PS: Except the last part about the boycotting :/

"The Queer Civil War"

Ughhhhh just stop.

America and uk are in totally different places regarding queer rights and visibility. Especially since Trump and the rise of the radical right. Torchwood is simply impossible in the US.

Ryoko Kui does what everyone else is scared to do! Although gender does seem to just be equitable in her world.

I was concerned when I read your title, but you smashed this. It IS a story about love between 2 men, but not sexual love. There's also a strong challenge to the English class system here.

I never date a bisexual man now , i did eight years together and i found out hed need with a women for the last two on and off and had a kid with her , when i asked him why hed done he sead well im bisexual and that was his answer 😮

This was an awesome watch 👏 well done

I'm sure the rise of theocratic and fashist forces in Israel won't be at any point turn out to be bad for gays .

Lookin like a slug I'm a wig

This is how I know god isn’t real. Lmaooo

Who would have thought that a transphobic Tory like Rowling would have created a capitalist dystopia out of her mostly conservative fantasy world?

Tf did I do

Wow you know I haven't been keeping up with Rowling, I wonder what the money people gave her through merch is being used for, surely it's for some actual activism and OH GOD

I remember these midnight events tbh. Films, books, you name it! We all adored it

I'm a cis straight man, so I'd love to hear you say more about the Trans story in the IT Crowd. Long before we knew the truth about Linehans views, I watched this and thought it was very sympathetic to the trans character and portrays Renholm as a total bigot. But you say it's cringe. Can you say more about why?

For me the best way to stop consumerism isn't to criticise the people who provide supply, but criticise the people who are on the demand side, don't you think?

Earthsea is so much darker and haunting in its tone than HP. TBH I don't think they stand up to deep comparison. As great literature, Le Guin kicks Rowling's butt.

AAHHHHAHAHA

The part about having to buy the signature weapon or tool, nail on the head, imagine if Altaïr or Ezio had to buy their hidden blades to get inducted into the Assassin Brotherhood, or some of the other examples like the Jedi, it just doesn't make sense

My copy of The Once and Future King had Rowling saying Arthur was 'Harry's spiritual ancestor' which was so arrogant and pathetic I covered it up. And 'Gedo Senki' is just _awful_ and it's a blight on Ghibli's body of work.

Decades of a franchise preaching about slavery? I thought Hermione's goal to end slavery was the butt of a joke as the protagonist Harry, routinely utilized a slave himself

I found this at midnight right as I was about to go to bed and now I have to watch it. Dang it. I am not complaining Edit: totally worth it.

r.i.p verilybtichie essays you would love interview with the vampire (AMC)

When getting to last points in the video, of America being the place to go for LGBTQ media, it made me think of the genre of BL and how widespread this piece of media actually is. Thailand seems to be a major source of BL as it is becoming a more popular term. Then we got Japan, where the term "fujoshi" first came to be to describe (particularly) girls who like BL/yaoi. China also plays a part through the book genre of danmei (you could say also a bit through series before the censorship and even the ones now that are portrayed as bromance when the original material is danmei). And yes, technically, Netflix is an American streaming service but Heartstopper is not American, it's British. Call Me By Your Name and Young Royals are also not American yet still have received a lot of attention. I understand that this genre is still also used as a means to make money as businesses realize that it is getting more popular but the entertainment industry is an industry after all. In order for us to get any type of media, we have to be able to give back (by money, views, promotions). Like going to a restaurant, you go to get food and pay as a means to give back. The waiters and chefs could also, like those in the Hollywood, could care less of minorities or what you actually want. This is not to say that being heartless and accepting the indifference from those in higher status is answer to all this, I just think that this way of doing business is not cruel but understandable in fact. A place where there is a lot of queer content though is GagaOOLala. Variety of themes and place of origin.

whitewash frida

What the fuck am I watching? This just popped up in my youtube shorts with no warning and I'm going to spend the rest of the month processing this

Yeah no, israel is the capital of lgbt people in the middle east, hell, probaby asia. They dont need to do propagabda when palis make lgbt people fly

I would argue people are more interested in a story with characters who are bisexual, than a story solely based on bisexuality. And as a bisexual, I don’t think that’s a bad thing. I’m more interested in an interesting story with queer themes than a story based upon queer identity. There’s nothing wrong with a story like that, but I also think part of the reason people don’t watch showed like “the bisexual” is because the premise seems one-note. Is there any intrigue other than “person struggles with bisexuality”? I think that has something to do with it

WAS THAT GERARD WAY IN THE THUMBNAIL

i like to ride bicycle

I can’t believe you didn’t mention Jk Rowling stole Harry Potter from the 1986 Troll film staring Harry Potter jr

imma call you baby

"dont pretend you have anything better to do" me, who has food in the oven:

I don't take Eurovision seriously for a long time now

Amy was the reason I had stopped watching doctor who until after Capaldi’s run had finished

They say it’s woke now 😂

Well..... now I'm very ashamed to have a small uni-brow and have been called Frida kahlo by my own dad and share a personality with her... Communist people were horrible people. I hate her now.

i thought it was a lemon

I began watching dr who with Christopher ecco and sropped after matt smith.nit in purpose i just was busy doing other things.. i watched a few capaldi episodes and thought he was great but thought the series had lost its identity once they made the dr a woman lol. I mean how long can you go on for before you're making a different show? Its the paradox of perpetual tv shows that eventually you habe done all the stories and villains and characters to death and yu either dredge up old characters for nostalgia orvyou innovate. So while i applaud them trying new stuff and am sure the show is still popular today, they'll never top the likes of chris, the brilliant david tennant and matt smith. Such brilliant actors all with their own spin on the iconic hero

And youre happy about this? A villian who clearly took body modification and insecurity way too far?

I once read an article published in 2018 written about Lady Cassandra O'Brien which I believe made her character a better representation. To summarize, the article stated that she should not be looked at as a representation for transgender people, but rather a representation of the process of transition. The article stated that she is representation for all the ugly parts such as the surgeries, the need for perfection, etc. She is still a product of her time and always will be, but many people underappreciate her. The fact that her being trans was originally just brushed off when mentioned in the show, I believe, was a good choice. It made it inconsequential. As a member of the lgbt community myself, having people not care about this minor aspect of me which has no major impact on me as a person is more than I could wish for, so having something that represents the statement "It's not a big deal" is important, at least for people like me. I am more than just this tiny aspect of me and people need to see that lgbt people are more than just that one letter.
