Ike Can't Eat Eggs + Telling Chat his Worries [Ike Eveland/Nijisanji EN]

[@ndroz4344]

BROS THE SC WAS TRYING TO MAKE IKE SAY 黄身（きみ）が好き = I like YOU. People ask this to male jp vtubers a lot lmao

[@xenhazenzen]

YEAH I WAS ABT TO SAY THIS AHAHAHA

[@aisumire6901]

OMG I JUST REALIZED IT HAHAHA. THEY WISHING IKE TO SAY HE LIKE THE YOLK (KIMI GA SUKI DA) BUT IT'S IKE DODGELAND Y'ALL LMAOOOO

[@Korota]

omg and he so earnestly responded to the question about eggs when it was just bait, this absolute cinnamon roll

[@hakomi522]

RIGHT HE DIDN’T EVEN REALIZED

[@CenturianTale_Halo]

Wait I don't get it

[@Thedarkbunnyrabbit]

Incidentally, I believe he may just need strongly flavored food. If he likes McDonalds and caviar but he doesn't like eggs and 'other foods that look and smell amazing', it could be that the texture of food overpowers subtle or bland flavor for him. This will happen to me sometimes midway through eating, where my brain suddenly no longer registers that what I am eating is 'food' and it instead feels 'fake' and 'not food'. Intense flavors like highly salty eggs or very spicy sauces on the eggs should help, as it should prevent that urge to spit the food out. (Salt and spice both open up the tastebuds and enhance flavor)

[@vanguard1689]

This is me but with certain types of tofu. I can eat tofu if it's very sweet (like the ones you eat with that sushi rice if you know what I mean?), if it's soaking up a broth (the sponge-type tofu), if it is in a salty sauce (like oyster sauce with a specific type of tofu), or if it's in a very spicy broth (like that Korean dish, forgot what it's called). Sometimes, even specific types of tofu are a no-go, even if it's in a very salty sauce of some sort (like some Chinese dishes I'm familiar with, example being Mapo tofu though I am getting better at eating that).

[@Thedarkbunnyrabbit]

@@vanguard1689 The Korean dish...maybe kimchi? And yes, I imagine tofu would be the kind of food to trigger that response, given its very soft and spongy texture and generally being close to flavorless on its own.

[@vanguard1689]

@@Thedarkbunnyrabbit Definitely not kimchi. I searched it up, I think it's called "sundubu jjigae".

[@vanguard1689]

@@Thedarkbunnyrabbit But yeah. It is sorta flavorless on its own. The texture isn't that bad, I'm just not a fan of how little flavor it has sometimes.

[@RaisonLychi]

That's how I feel about anything with coconut shavings. They just have such an unfood shaved wax texture.

[@nah9935]

What an odd cinnamon roll. He loves caviar but doesn’t eat chicken eggs. I had a similar issue when eating eggs, hated the taste and texture. I can eat most egg dishes now. I still can’t eat boiled egg yolk cause the texture is gross to me.

[@lanah2362]

it is rather “dry” for some reason? it’s kinda dry so i don’t really like it either :(

[@zaynyans_01]

How about you guys try boiled egg with tomatoes and soy sauce its delicious ^^

[@_simplejared_1992]

@@lanah2362 o its dry for you guys? i think its gonna be dry if you leave it for too long or smt but for me i have a like hate relationship with eggs xD boiled eggs taste good for me but sometimes gross maybe bcs the texture is sometimes wet and slidy 👁👄👁 Sunny side up and scrambled eggs good tho especially with ketchup!

[@MidoriKyun]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feel it too! Like, I can eat eggs cook in anyway, EXCEPT boiled. I don't mind the egg white, bug the york's texture and taste was ugh. Now I just mix it all.

[@_simplejared_1992]

@@MidoriKyun same but im the opposite of you xD i like the yolk part but not the white part

[@Malakai__WeLoveYouMafumafu]

Hearing him talk about his sensitivity to food is honestly very relatable, especially the struggle with restaraunts. I'm neurodivergent and have sensory issues, so food is one of the biggest struggles for me. And I also feel nervous with eating with others or going out to eat with others, this is another way I relate to Ike. I don't know if Ike is neurodivergent or not, but I hope he can learn to feel less bad about his food preferences/difficulties and learn to go easy on himself.

[@flutosan7764]

I'm neurodivergent and I relate to this sm! I hope he stop feelings guilty about it

[@MargieLeigh3]

same!!

[@fonsineknshr]

He's got a collectivist mindset about it, I understand where he comes from. Phobias and food preferences are just part of life, sure it can be very weird at times but people can't all be the same. If they are nice and decent people, usually people won't mind accomodating for those kinds of things when they can. I hope Ike can be kinder to himself about this sort of things 💙

[@りんご-i8q]

I'm not sure if it has been mentioned already but I believe the egg yolk or white question was intended to bait Ike with a specific answer. The "right" response would've been "I like egg yolk (黄身が好き)" which sounds like "kimi ga suki" = "I like you"! Great clip! I have similar thoughts, I can get really picky with food. It's sweet that Ike finds ways to help out his friends whenever he could!

[@quinnmcbride9564]

I have never related to a conversation about food more. There's so many things I can't eat; I basically have the diet of a picky toddler. Although in my case it's related to anxiety and sensory processing issues. And there is a name for it! ARFID is a legitimate, if somewhat unknown, diagnosis. I've found it's much more common for neurodivergent people, especially amongst me and my other autistic friends. Disclaimer that I'm not saying or speculating anything about Ike, just speaking from my own experiences. But if being called a picky eater feels like the understatement/oversimplification of the century, there might actually be a reason for that.

[@luka_709]

He’s literally the sweetest thing in the world🥺 I want a friend like Ike and I just wanna hug him and play non-bell-inclusive video games together

[@Belley_Bean_Pug]

As a person with an egg allergy, I feel this pain all the time. There are so many desserts I can’t eat because of a little yellow shit that they put in everything. (I’m allergic to both yolk and whites)

[@honeymatcha379]

I feel the exact same, I hate speaking up about things because I don't want people to feel like they have to worry about me ;x;

[@callenreesespuffs]

i could only eat scrambled eggs for the loooongest time because egg yolk texture is just weird af to me. if i could get away with it, i would just consume the whites.

[@KindOfAverage]

As someone with extreme sensory issues and a phobia to something common in everyday life, this hits hard. No matter what, this is how I'm wired. It's taken me a long time to recognize that I shouldn't be too upset about who and how I am. Of course there are many times where I can't go places, see people, or I'll even freeze like a deer in headlights when confronted with my issues. However, I know that those who care about me and see me as a person beyond my issues, will only miss and worry about me when I'm not there, as opposed to thinking I'm burdensome. As to possible guilt for making people worry, I try to combat it with the fact it's normal for people to care about their friends and that there is no reason as to why anyone should be less worthy of their friends' time and efforts just because issues happen more often for them. It can be a hard pill to swallow (I still have trouble doing so at times) but it's true.

[@momiji157]

I don't relate to his taste buds but I do relate to him feeling like a bother, I always struggled socializing but after watching Ike Eveland and his streams, I feel comfortable and I'm happy I have someone to relate to

[@Jace_traumerei]

I can kinda relate to Ike in a way about the eggs, I can't stand 'em either when they're like, the main thing in a dish but for me it's bc they just make me feel really queasy (which makes me upset bc I LOVE deviled eggs) Hearing Ike call himself weird for his fear of bells made me really sad tho...... ;-; Everyone's got their fears and phobias and anyone who'd judge him for it is a jerk, can I please give him a hug?

[@darkostars8926]

It might be the preservatives in store bought eggs he might need to try farm eggs

[@iLikeScaryThings...]

I understand this so well. Ive never liked the flavor of anything that had tomato or a tomato base in it. So popular foods like spaghetti and pizza are a no go for me. It makes me worry that I'm burdening people and sad because they look so tasty.

[@lapizlazulyn]

MY OSHI IS SO RELATABLE AAAAAA I have those kind of problems too, the worst thing is that I don't even taste the food, I just see it and go "nope, I don't like it / I can't eat it", and I would love to be just like Ike and say that it's not my fault, but everyone around me always gets angry, then they tell me I'm annoying and sometimes they force me to eat even though I told them I didn't want to. I feel like the only way I would have validation would be if I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with an eating disorder or something like that :/

[@potmki6601]

It’s honestly makes me cry. My partner is neurodivergent and currently gets excluded from their groupmates’ off-class activities. I am afraid that Ike, just like my partner, received signals from people surrounding them that he is high maintenance and do not worth the trouble, and internalized them. Mind that my partner is one of the most sensitive, mindful of others, intelligent, talented and beautiful people I ever met. And one of the few who manage to respect my boundaries and work around my quirks as much as I respect and work around theirs. If a bunch of lame intolerant normies can’t overlook my partner’s sensitivity overloads and slow bike riding to get to know one of the best people I ever met, it’s more said normies’ loss then anybody else’s. Meanwhile, everybody has smth others have to work around, and if you care (or just nice), you will. If it’s not food, it’s despise of dirty sinks or 0 tolerance for smoke. Some people don’t drink, some are vegan, some have low mobility or allergies or get triggered from certain topics. If people are dear to you, you’ll go to place they can eat at with them or keep sink in your shared home clean or don’t smoke at home - not because you care about sink or smoked apartment, but because you care about them and can take a minor effort to make them comfortable. I bet that Ike would go out of his way a little bit to make his friends comfortable, so it’s only natural for him to expect his friends to do it for him.

[@elymmetta]

Honestly i feel this when an egg isn't warm already, i feel like I'm going to vomit but salt always prevents that for me.

[@tiny_star2271]

I feel him on this topic. I’m physically disabled and I feel like such a bother snd inconvenience in someways. Not being able to go many places or having to do like 4 extra steps so I can get somewhere makes me feel bad. I know I’m not a bother or at least being told I’m not doesn’t mean I don’t think about it. It’s tough. I’m glad though that I’m not the only one who thinks about it even if the reasons are different. I love Ike💙💙💙

[@ak___ii]

ike is so relatable 🥺💖

[@dorsa8250]

i used to LOVE eggs but ever since I got the virus even though I have recovered from it for monthes, eggs all taste soooooo bad. they all smell rotten ; ;

[@tea_rishaa1324]

this made me happy that I'm not the only one who can't eat eggs cause of the taste buds not cooperating 😭

[@lazyspeedster7969]

I don't get it myself but i did have a friend who couldn't stand the taste and smell of a lot of food, they were also deathly allergic to a few painkillers. I'd do anything 4 them to be comfortable, so i just made a list :]

[@男ですよ]

Im also allergic to eggs (only the yellow part)

[@Complexicon_of_a_Startist]

Bro Istg he's my twinsoul, why can I match him on just about every front- I relate SO hard to this, I always feel bad when I have to say "Oh, sorry, I can't eat that" because I feel like such a bother, even though I'm not trying to be picky and just can't control it And then it's sometimes worse when they ask why because it feels so petty (only sometimes because I feel like when people say "No it's fine!" they're just being polite, all evidence to the contrary) So many different foods look so good, but something about it will be off-putting that means I can't eat it Hell, even if something _looks_ wrong, I can't eat it (regardless of taste and texture) It's really damn frustrating every time because it's so limiting on what I can have and it affects other people too T^T

[@Dustyvoice]

I FEEL IKE IN THIS 😭

[@Jester8492]

Dunno if it's the same but I'm like this with coffee. I love the smell but it's always so bitter for me drink.

[@seraph11]

There’s different types! You might find some that you like.

[@zee3e]

i also really dont like egg, just the taste and smell (like sulfur!!) but i'm fine with some scrambled eggs with tomato and omelettes (i guess because it's mostly covered by the other ingredients). apparently when i was a baby, my grandmother force-fed me raw egg in milk and i've just hated egg since.

[@kisa.4259]

I have the same problem with different food: papaya and avocado. Papaya looks so sweet and juicy and I just CAN'T eat because the texture feels so weird that I can't swallow a bite, I tried before and I end up with tears while forcing the thing down. The taste is not really a problem but the texture? So freaking weird.

[@kanari3907]

Same for pork for me💔 i want to eat it but my throat can't swallow lol

[@naomi_4599]

This is relatable, but for me it is like chocolate T-T

[@zenaneah]

I can agree to dat. Theres a lot of recipes with eggs on it. And I like eggs too. But I also have limitations for it within a certain week. Like 3 or more and I'll either have rashes or they'll be like... Bleghh for some reason. The same with chicken and milk... Like for example you'll be eating chicken for the next 3 days but different recipes of course... on the 3rd or 4th day, my taste buds rejects it. it just taste ewiee for some reason then I'll get mild rashes. Like... Why?! Stomach, tongue? Why?

[@audreygo1828]

Oh noooo

[@baIthazar]

God I feel him so strongly with feeling like a bother. I have a phobia of pills and I'm autistic, so I have a lot of sensory issues and it really sucks to feel like you have to be "accommodated" by literally just stating boundaries regarding sensory or phobia stuff, you feel so silly and like you're high maintenance because they're things that most people aren't bothered by, but for you it's dreadful and can induce physical discomfort
