You are the only person who I’ve seen react to this song who actually paused the video to read the whole long text about making sure the other person is comfortable. I really like how you pay attention to details. Great reaction, keep up the great work!

[@palpablenotion]

Bo gets it, informed consent and no pressure is sexier than anything else.

[@MeganTheLibrarian3]

@@palpablenotion Agreed! I didn't personally take it as having to do with anxiety so much as a commentary on the importance of being respectful and not objectifying or creepy. Love how even in the goofiest songs there are serious beats with legit social commentary.

[@palpablenotion]

@@MeganTheLibrarian3 seriously, yea. People make so many "dick pic" jokes and the fact of the matter is if it's unwanted and or unwarranted, its cyber assault. Law just doesn't take it seriously yet. He *is* worried but only because he doesn't want his gf to feel pressured and you lose a lot of social cues texting. Some people miss the cues in person. This tangent in the background reminds me of something said on the show Community. Donald Glover said it but the character that said it was Abed (basically he was playing make believe so he was pretending to be Troy). Pretend Troy admitted that he finds women in pajamas sexier than lingerie, he just wants to know they're comfortable. That's the vibe I get from Bo in this. Heck he even bounces off uncertainty and insecurity of his own, showing that men can also be unsure in these situations. All in all, it was a really progressive take on sexting. Playful, abstract, teasing even about the absurd emoticons used. Virtual foreplay. A partner feeling self conscious and it showing not in person with clutched sheets or hands covering anything but by literally sending a pic of his face which definitely looked insecure. It's just a thoughtful song despite it seeming like just about weird emoticons and bad "dick pics" (very uncomfortable with that term and literally a fear I have which is why I haven't signed up for any queer social networking apps because "dating apps" tend to have a problem with that). I thought it was also interesting he went with a carrot and not an eggplant. Was he making a joke about size? Color? Or just distancing from the eggplant emoji and it's arguably derogatory shift? Certain emojis just cannot be used without an XXX tone anymore. Anyway, rant over.👍

[@travismattingly1414]

[@ChrisReactsToThings]

The 🎡 usually gets me going

[@palpablenotion]

1- the earring is an Ankh, and ancient Egyptian symbol for life thats super common in appropriated jewelry, 2- hieroglyphs are a logographic, it's where symbols/glyphs represent whole words or even concepts. An example of a contemporary logographic is Chinese writing. English uses an alphabet, Japanese a syllabary with borrowed logographs, and there's a few other forms of writing as well. Emojis are technically a pictographic which arguably can't be used to successfully convey complete and complex ideas. Nerdy extra, without Napoleon's campaign finding the Rosetta stone which was made because of Alexander the Great, we were able to translate hieroglyphs which we couldn't before. The Rosetta Stone was a decree that was written out in hieroglyphs, then in Demotic (the logographic system the Egyptians moved towards, similar to Old vs Middle English), and Ancient Greek. Random facts of the day.

[@kzbw]

Random facts of the day, deep dive edition: Hieroglyphs are actually only partly logographic. After decades of trying to decode the rosetta stone, assuming that it was logographic, one person noticed that names of royalty were always circled in hieroglyphs, and that a sun symbol was part of a circled name. "Ra" is the god of the sun, and it was circled because it was referring to king Ramses. We were only able to translate the rosetta stone because the sun symbol representing the "ra" in "ramses" disproved the long held belief that hieroglyphs were entirely logographic.

[@palpablenotion]

@@kzbw couldn't the altered logographic of Ra have been because Ramesses the Great was said to be the son of Amun-Ra? But that's besides the facts. Logographic writing isn't as regimented as alphabets or syllabaries (Japanese is an example of that, where each character represents a full syllable). Chinese is a logographic language and you have alterations to "base" logograms that alter the meaning. The discovery was less that it wasn't logographic, it was that they were viewing the logograms as very primitive picture words and not a fully realized written language. It was prejudicial and probably racist but it's been a while since I studied the more recent secondary and tertiary sources of the ancient Egyptians.

[@jcaps3846]

Do what you gotta do in regards to the video editing. I assure you everyone who's watching these reactions has seen the videos countless times.

[@ChrisReactsToThings]

that's what i figured haha. ideally its not blurred since it's an extra step for some people to watch along easier, but oh well

[@peterlewis2178]

@@ChrisReactsToThings If you're not getting actual strikes against your channel that could contribute to your channel being taken down, then you can always try it unblurred at first, and if it gets blocked then blur it, instead of the previous approach of re-editing and selectively blurring. And that way some of the videos can probably still be unblurred.

[@KALEIGHdoscope]

“We’ll talk dirty like we are Ancient Egyptians…” The language they used was hieroglyphics. That was their written language. They just used those drawings instead of actual letters like we use right now.

[@babassoonist557]

4:30 the ancient Egyptians actually did have a written language, hieroglyphs were seen as a holy language because to depict something as art is to evoke its soul. Cute doggo :3 10:20 So for me, and this is pretty rare because I tend to not be with cis-men, I would never want just a dick pic. I’d want a full body nude, whatever pose my partner is comfortable with, because it’s the intimacy of sharing something with each other that you don’t share with a majority of human beings

[@Samdark0]

@9:50, Re: the male body, attractiveness has much to do with the emotions that the person's partner feels for him. And that makes the person look very attractive.

[@AnxietyRat]

This pretty much. And its pretty much true for every human regardless of their sex. The more you like the person as a person and who they *are* is beautiful to you. Their body and entire being becomes attractive. That's just how our brains work, I think? The exception being aromantic people, I guess.

[@hiimsky4381]

true that and there’s an aspect of trust, if I let you see my naked body I want trust that you’re open to me seeing yours too otherwise I just feel like you’ve used me and I am getting nothing back. And it’s also like creating a bond together

[@tinferbrains]

I'm convinced his phone only "dies" because his anxiety refuses to let him see the response to the pic.

[@theory-in-motion]

Technically, there was an an Egyptian language, with phonetic diction... but yeah, pictography has been around for quite some time. Also, the cross earring is very much a George Michael thing, given how prolific he was in sex-positive music in the ’80s and early ’90s. If you're interested in artistic imagery, stark / simple but effective lighting, and aren't afraid of some avant garde surrealism, Lynch’s Eraserhead would be worth the watch. It will not remotely help with your current perspective on the junk-pics.

[@rafaerushonchisei8514]

13:20 the "nice nice" got me lmao

[@thanatos101b]

I could write an essay on masculine beauty, but you could get the same from looking at classical art form when they had fewer hang ups about homosexuality. But needless to say, penises are like snowflakes. Every one is unique and they are all beautiful.

Love your videos man, you are a natural at this. One suggestion I have though is to try and shorten the amount of time talking during one individual pause. Your breakdowns are great, and don't get me wrong make sure you get your point across still. But if you were to maybe edit those moments to make them just a little bit more concise I think it would help keep more viewers watching for longer, which is huge for the algorithm as you probably know. Anyways, you make great videos, just thought I might give a friendly observation.
