"I regret having heard of this show". Same. Big time.

I thought the title said "The Problem with Asexual Reproduction"

SAW STILES AND HAD TO CLICK- sorry, 😅 but I definitely agree 17:39 Love Stiles, love my little guy, but the Sterek made me uncomfortable cuz like wasn’t Derek an adult and Stiles a child???? 23:22 MY LITTLE GUYS! AHHHH THEY LITERALLY RIPPED MY HEART OUT AND BEAT THE SHIT OUTTA IT!

why did i click on a video about women only to get 20 minutes of yapping about men? i don’t care about why men are lonely! stop centering men!!!!!

i'm glad that i had the resources and opportunity to explore my identity at university pursuing an extremely impacted art degree whose only means of initial admittance was high school GPA, thus ensuring that the lion's share of us would be anxiety-ridden introverted neurodivergent wrecks i try not to let myself lose sight of the fact that this is not typical

11:38 i watched voyager with my parents and as an asexual i always kind of related to seven, now i know why 😅

The worst show i watched was the a word on the BBC it was appalling

Im very annoyed at non autistic actors playing autistic people its never accurate

Thank you for sharing your journey! turning 29 in a few days and I'm currently in the initial phases of learning and things from my past and certain behaviors are starting to make sense with the ADHD context. I resonate with what you said at the end about not being able to do things that ppl want you to do and you also want to do but just cant. I get weird anxiety about returning calls/ texts/ emails and feel like sending one or two is just too much even though i want to.

not them using diva as the acronym to further dismiss ppl. were there no other acronyms or words to describe it?

I transitioned as a trans woman and now when I look at pre-transition pictures of myself I get this awful feeling like I'm seeing a disfigured version of me, like if I had an accident. I have a hard time believing I could even look like that. I actually now like the way I look which is a new feeling I never experienced before.

If you can't connect with someone in a deep level it means that person doesn't want you. It's as simple as that. I don't know man! Autism is a thing with a lot of people out there.

I don’t have any friends sure people I see here and there but it seems so easy for guys to friends but with women it feels so difficult like I need to act a certain way. At this point I’d rather have a toxic friendship than no friendship at all.

Not too much on my boy Todd

Another character that some viewers have viewed as autistic is River Tam from "Firefly" due to her being eccentric, difficulties communicating, and sensory issues. Although River was never said to be autistic in the actual series, or the movie, although her actress Summer Glau said she's autistic. No word from the series creator Joss Whedon though.

1:15:20 Boy I feel called out 😅

Whiteness and Eurocentrism is the desired feature, not the problem. No one is saying rap needs more Mexicans.

Bro what that sounds a little gay

Came back here after seeing “he has a birthmark like me” and happy cried a lot. Representation is more important than we realize. Some people are still invisible.

narcissists being narcissists

Megan consistently raps about being bi, and she’s very clear about it 🩷💜

That "deeper" convo is for you and your S/O or therapist. As a man ive found women want to have their cake and eat it too when it comes to friendship. My wife invited 12 people she barely sees to a birthday dinner and wonder why the ONE person she wanted to talk to didnt seem to have the the time to talk. Ill organize a paintball or airsoft event and see people i haven't in years and we can pickup right where we left off. My wife calls it shallow but i think its a mutual understanding that we have lives and come together for fun escape and common interest.

She didn't mention the character of maya from the Proud Family reboot. I genuinely feel like she's an activist character who was deliberately made to be hated because who could possibly like her? She is so incredibly annoying that I feel like she gives activists a bad name as a whole. 😠😣🤦🏻‍♀️ 😇

Ive been called incel, ugly, cant get any, etc. very cool very swag.

wait, editor sparkles? like Area 11 sparkles? or am I crazy? because if not they look VERY similar.

as an autistic demiromantic demisexual who’s probably technically nonbinary: it makes sense for a robot or something to be aro, ace, autistic-coded, and/or nonbinary, but it doesn’t make sense for aro, ace, autistic, and/or nonbinary people to _all_ be robots or something.

All I know that no one is born with autism if you have autism autism was created by a shot that you get after you were born in the hospital when you were three or a little bit older or even when you are adult and you have not been diagnosed yet Autism gets created when you are very very very very, very, very very young Example I was diagnosed when I was three years old. I should’ve just watched or look at pictures of myself doing some autistic behaviors because I need to learn about my backstory more and I’m still struggling because I need to watch videos from a old video camera and look at my actions and look at my behaviors . I remember this one clip in 2006 when I was probably one years old yeah I was one years old. I was laying on the floor in the living room in my grandparents house. It was Christmas. I was laying there and I think my ears was covered with my hands and I was I felt trapped. I don’t know how to explain it, but when I was looking at my cousin, he has autism too. He is fucking calmer than me in the video. I don’t understand well he is a boy a man now and I am a girl a woman now so I don’t know he was diagnosed with autism. I’m not sure how old he was. I don’t really know my cousin so I don’t know, but I remember that in the Christmas video yes I was around family members and I think I was calm because I know that my mom was there my mother so I think I wasn’t really. I’m not sure well I was when I was three years old. I don’t think my autistic behavior started when I was one years old because I was one years old and my brain is still developing or it was being destroyed by the shot. OK well my brain is not destroyed, but it is destroyed if that makes sense so I think when I was around two or almost 3 years old, that’s when I started toact strange and my mom was confused and my siblings were confused. What’s going on so I went to the doctors and they diagnosed me with autism, but I don’t know the full stories. It’s just a guess and how my brain functions the memories it’s basically how my brain functions the memories.

We don't refer to ourselves as "queer", for starters.

15:17 I have Asperger disorder and I still trying to learn what the hell it is. I know it’s a autistic spectrum but it’s high quality. I meant high functioning not high-quality sorry words are messed up. I think Asperger spectrum people are more functioning than we think and we do get annoyed so easily and we do grunts and moan andzombie noises sound because we are like hesitated or frustrating about something because it makes us upset. I don’t know how to explain it but yeah.

Well, this is basically my opinion and what type of male I want to date and possibly marry without having issues I would like to date a autistic male I can date all race of male not trans male I don’t wanna date a guy who is not autistic because I feel like males who don’t have disabilities or autism. They basically judge you and stuff and I don’t not want to be judge and I do not want him to believe that I need to be normal and shit. So I do not want to date a non-disabled male I want to date a high function autistic male he can be any race race basically doesn’t matter. I just want a guy that I love and I love his personality. Yes, his body but his personality more and all that because I just hate Valentine’s Day and I hate seeing other people who is dating and I’m single. I’m not asexual it’s just I’m tired of seeing couples. They get to date and here’s me alone.

Love on spectrum did not feel right to me. I stopped watching it because. It was just it just felt wrong.

1 hour hmmmm

the only "issue" i have with the ace spectrum is the implication that there are "normal" levels of sexual attraction and that anything else is worthy of re-labeling. with the other identities, such as bi, gay, pan, its very much about WHO you are attracted to, whereas with the ace spectrum its an issue of TO WHAT DEGREE or under which circumstances, and i personally find that this can, in a way, almost pathologise normal experiences such as not being sexually attracted/interested to someone unless you are emotionally close, generally experiencing "low" levels of sexual attraction, etc., especially since, as mentioned, sexual attraction is so tied in to sexual interest, libido, etc. i dont know the degree other people experience sexual attraction, i dont know what the "normal" end of the spectrum would be, when it becomes "hypersexual" (not the clinical issue but rather, exceeding "normal" levels), etc, and i think that this is something to be kept in mind, ESPECIALLY when it comes to issues such as trans/gender identity, disability and mental illness, all of which affect my "sexual attraction rates" to a degree that i have had people try and push ace-spec labels such as grey or demi on me despite me not identifying as such. much like whales not being gay because. theres no society and no sexual identities, and discourses of "normal" being flawed, this too should be applied to the idea of an "ace spec" imo

Ok, but.... Trans women SHOULD make at least SOME effort to visually transition. Most people won't take Michaela seriously for utter lack of effort in transitioning at all

I don't live in the US, but still... I was rewatching the purge movies before Trumps 2nd inauguration the other day... they hit really really really different from when I watched them when they came out...

The best part is when other LGBT+ people tell you to your face you aren't Ace because you aren't repulsed by sex enough. Like. Asexuality is a spectrum. I am personally disgusted by the idea of having sex and can be made uncomfortable by hollywood sex scenes, but if you saw the fanfics I read, hoo boy.

No offense, but if glorifying obesity is what we need to do in order to not be “fatphobic”, then I’m out and the plot has been lost. Glorifying objectively unhealthy standards in any way is toxic af.

TURF is a Slur and a propaganda term. It's actually the Radical Fems that forward the GI / non-binary. Rowan Ellis is simply selling intellectualised propaganda: pure shoe shinning that look much like the dynamics and 'stalwarts' of Nazi Propaganda and racialism. And don't make the mistake of intellectual plausibility; Stewart Chamberlin, the son of a Navy Admiral, wrote the book from which Hitler read from for his version of racial purity. It's all the same - devalue another's position with misinformation and voila, your managed reputation is looking so good! Welcome to the BS machine that feeds on your fears, naivety and ignorance. It's so easy to loose folk in a long winded explanation, then throw misinformation in to bend and distort the narrative: it's a magic trick, and just taker no notice of the man behind the curtain this is Rowan Ellis's go to.

13:42 Hey, would you say we're friends? Good friends? Close friends? Best friends? Mere acquaintances? Practically strangers? Are we IRL friends or online friends? I feel like I can open up with you. You're a great friend. I value our friendship. Let's be friends! Besties! Best friends forever! BFF. Just as some examples of terminology off the top of my head. Also, I strongly argue that the most important part of a boyfriend/girlfriend is the friend part. All the most long-lasting romantic relationships are built upon solid friendships, not sex, which also makes the "Oh no! Friendzoned D: " thing nonsensical to me.

This is such an amazing essay! Thank you❤

I had OCD tendencies growing up, but didnt get diagnosed until a couple years back during a very intensely stressful point in my life that brought it to the forefront of my life. i did months and months of exposure response prevention therapy and managed to lessen the distress. for some reason, after getting "better" i never thought of the possibility of things getting that bad again. my stress has been getting very bad again, and i've noticed a huge resurgence in my more extreme compulsions. i'm glad to have this video to come back to. and thank you for bringing up the intersectionality aspect, that shit is so important.

Thank you for giving me that same sense of "... Am I disfigured?" Having also struggled with acne and other visible but changeable things, I've never acknowledged them as disfigurements, firstly because I considered "true" disfigurements to be permanent things, and second because I didn't want to give my own blemishes that level of acknowledgement, that level of... power and control over me, as being something permanent that I could not change. Setting that mindset aside, I shall now continue listening to your video.

I'm autistic with an autistic older brother. I have always known autism was a thing and was tested and diagnosed at a young age. However, I can't say I actually understood what it meant for me outside of some benefits until the past few years. I'm also 99% certain I have ADHD, something I've only come to realise since learning more about what ADHD actually means from people who have the diagnose--especially if they were diagnosed later in life and thereby describe their previously unexplained problems with things up until that point. I always suspected I had ADHD, even when I was merely four years old, but always brushed it off because I only knew the stereotype. "I'm hyper and unfocused, yes, but I can also focus sometimes, so clearly I can't have ADHD," not realising moments of focus and even hyperfixation are part of ADHD. Several of my friends who have been diagnosed with ADHD saw the signs in me right from the start and assumed, since it was so obvious to them, that I already had the diagnosis. They were shocked when, just a couple of years ago, I told them "So, I've been learning more about ADHD and I think I might have it." On the whole, I've led a shockingly sheltered life, and it's only in the past few years I've started to understand a whole host of things about myself, as well as being confronted by blatant abelism, sexism, ageism, and infantilisation by government/welfare people and medical professionals--all of which has left me debilitated and literally fighting for my life while the doctors hum and haw about whether or not to provide treatment. On a brighter note, despite all of the above, I have managed to publish a few books. In particular, a queer paranormal romance series called "Written in the Blood" about gay men and vampires in Victorian London, of which I'm hoping to get the fourth installment out next month (Feb, 2025). Whether any of the characters within are on the autism spectrum, I actually don't know. I didn't write any of them with that as the intention, but being autistic myself and only recently starting to understand what that means outside of the stereotypes, I can't actually say if any of them turned out that way. I try to write them organically and I've had characters surprise me before with things like their sexuality. If you're curious to read my books, google my name and look for an Amazon Kindle link. I'm Seleuf everywhere.

BUBBLE BATHS

Let whales have gay sex in peace, they don't wanna be recorded.

I am still kind of processing all of the comments in this video, from the police joke, to all the og villains being so queer it hurts I am amazed at this whole video

House and Abed are headcannon autistc too

Simply because its not your experience it must be a lie. Geez there's plenty to complain about this shouldn't be on the list. The show isnt even on anymore
