It is not homophobic to prefer a massage from a female some people don’t want guys touching them it is not homophobic to not want a dude to massage you

[@Beaah]

It just shows you're fragile in your own masculinity, if having someone of your own gender touching you.

[@andreil1313]

@@Beaah it’s just a preference... most girls are not comfortable with guys touching them. I prefer massages from men because they are generally stronger. I don’t see how is different with a guy in my place. I don’t think having certain boundaries means you hate someone.

[@simorote]

@@Beaah Are you in the masculinity police?

[@Heyyitsalli]

@@Beaah it’s not about being fragile, it’s about being comfortable. Women tend to have a more comforting presence in some areas so both men and women might prefer them to men. When I go to the gynecologist I specifically request female doctors because it makes me more comfortable. I once had a teacher who said he would prefer male doctors for prostate exams because if there was something wrong or something he forgot to do that day, he’d be embarrassed around a woman 🤷🏽‍♀️ it’s not homophobic or sexist. It’s just who makes you most comfortable. But in Howard’s case yes it was homophobic 😂

[@MrSlothJunior]

@@Heyyitsalli I don't think it's fair to call it homophobic in Howard's case either. He thinks that massages are a sexual thing, and he doesn't want that from a man. I'm not homophobic either for not dating men. It's just sexual preference. Edit: I thought about it a bit, and while I stand by the principles of my previous point, I do think now that Howard was being homophobic. Not based on what he said, but based on his attitude behind what he said. It was not just a sexual preference to him. He thought of it as wrong to have this sexual thing between two men. He really didn't want other people to think that he would've been okay with it.

There's a difference between a gender stereotype and the characteristics/personality of a character, not everything is a social justice issue.

@@Whee1ndmud Howard is a creep, that's the joke, it has nothing to do with their gender

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

Thank you for your comment!!. I felt very similarly. There is way too much virtue signaling in this reaction. It ruined all of the comedy writing and the entire point of these television episodes. Like the scene about the smell of formaldehyde. Sheldon didn't mean it literally. It was a joke. Howard is not homophobic, in any way. Never was, just because he preferred a woman's touch. He wasn't afraid of men, Rofl. Sheldon and Amy were not Elitist in their behavoirs, in any way. Nor was Sheldon rude to Amy. He was naturally blunt about everything and struggled with emotional cues. I thought this reaction would be lighthearted and fun. Nope, just SJW lectures and talking over everything. Disappointed 😞.

Physics is boring? Take that back! Also, Sheldon doesn't have a mental illness, "his mother got him tested". Penny is a struggling actress/ waitress with a small alcohol addiction who was popular and a bully in school. Her being politically correct about manliness would be out of character. If you're interested in the show's take on sexism and especially women in science, I would recommend season 6 episode 18 witch is specifically focused on this, I surely would love to hear your take on it. The show arguably made nerds cool and was validated by amazing guests but at the core is pop culture made by pop culture people and the comedic premise is stereotyping nerds as socially challenged. All this can be forgiven in my opinion as the purpose is comedy and there should be no limit on what you are allowed to joke about. Laughter is the strongest human clopping mechanism and if comedians don't have a hidden agenda, they should not be called out on their craft. Some of the guests in the show are: Stephen Hawking,

[@alexsavutube]

damn, KZbin cut my comment short, there was a list of Nobel laureates and tech and science people that wore guests in the show and I was thanking you for making yourself available on line in those hard times when science is attacked by every moron with internet and I was pointing out how important it is to show people they are too stupid to find a reliable source even if she was making youtube videos.

Having a mental illness is not the same as being classified as “insane,” which is what Sheldon’s mother actually had him “tested on.” I still think he’s got some form of Autism, most of his behavioral quirks point to that.

How is it homophobia to be a heterosexual person and not wanting someone of the same sex touching you in semi-intimate areas. I’m allowed to be comfortable with who touches me.

[@willvr4]

Having a degree in something and actually practicing it, are two different things. I doubt she's done calculus since she was 20yrs old, and it's also not a part of neuroscience. She was just getting defensive. She's an actress, not a practicing doctor. (there's nothing wrong with that) Edit : Also, not wanting a massage from another man doesn't make you homophobic. That word gets thrown around too casually.

[@BaronessErsatz]

The writers of the show CLAIMED that Sheldon wasn't an Asperger's patient, but using reruns as a playbook for dealing with one has kept me going as the caregiver for my housemate who has it. And for far longer than anybody ever figured. So it's been useful for long-suffering folks like me.

[@JBG-AjaxzeMedia]

they really said that to cover their bases in case they made a mistake or something, what they meant is they didn't write with Aspergers in mind, they just wrote him how they pictured him, and he just tends to have a lot of qualities similar to aspergers, as well as other alt-abilities, so that viewers could relate to him in their own way

Great, one more of these finally i found more stuff to actually watch. 💪🏼 I just have to disagree on a small point, that's the opinion on sexism and co in this show. I can't say for sure what the initial intentions were, if they were based on sexism, but to me these exaggerated cliché traits of men and women are just funny, which is what the show is supposed to be. I think most people wouldn't enjoy the reality as much, at least for me that's the case and that's why nobody should be safe from humor, cause the minute you say something, someone or a certain group of people should not/never be made fun of - no matter the reasoning - you're treating them differently and that's something that would really bother me - if someone tried catering to me because of WHAT i am, not WHO i am as a person

Love your reaction! As a fan of big bang theory, I can tell you that also in other episodes there are some quotes from Amy intentional to "make fun" of Sheldon who considers himself a genius in everything he does. In some of the writers' interviews they point out that Sheldon misses the sarcasm and for a long time fails to admit that Amy's work is equally important and difficult than that of another field as a theoretical physicist. The aim of your video was to point out any mistakes that may have been made, but I think it might interest you as they still proposed a realistic character who knows how to "joke" about her job, as you rightly pointed out in the elephant quote. If sheldon had had a prep he would surely have understood why he could or could not drink from that beaker.

Except his father never cheated on his mother. Sheldon thought he did because he saw a lady with a different hair in bed with his dad, But from what we've seen on Young Sheldon George Sr would never do that.. and it's more likely that what Sheldon saw is his mom wearing a wig during foreplay, maybe because their marriage has been a bit stale for a while..

And knowing how the show ended, Penny was correct in this case. I also think that Sheldon and Amy are good for each other. Yes, they have some bumps along the way, but they do work through them. I like that the show actually shows that being in a serious relationship is not easy, it is hard work. And for some, the hardship is visible to their friends who genuinely tries to help - even if the help often are, uhm, «misguided» in this show. :-) Greetings from Norway.

Hi! You taught me something new today haha! I did some research and, yes! It seems like we don't fully understand why it makes us hungry but that appears to be a normal reaction. Anatomy labs are a bit different from research labs though, the reason why the smell is so strong is because you usually have multiple preserved subjects out at one time, whereas in a lab you'd have only one or two out and they'd be in a fume hood. The conditions we put anatomy students in can actually be dangerous to their long term health, but it's (in my opinion) a result of poor funding to those labs.

Lovely video. I do research in neuroscience using drosophila. We do use bacteria a lot, specially for me. I clone certain genes into plasmids to be injected into the embryo of the fly to express that gene, more specifically to use the Gal4 driver to give signal of that gene. So there are a lot of molecular biology and bacteria involved in neuroscience.

Don't understand why Mayam Bialik said she can't return to neuroscience. Really don't get it - why not?

I would think with all the things that are out of place in the lab are to promote the wide variety of things that come with the labs...

I think they work at a facility on campus that does some government work, so maybe that explains a checkpoint before entering the property? Otherwise, makes no sense to me either.

You make a fine host for whatever parasite has infected your generation. How it managed to located and excise the sense of humor from a human being is a mystery best left for your AI overlords.

[@Radwar99]

Your avatar is amusing, tell me, how do you explain God who apparently is so powerful to have created the whole universe and supposedly knows everything that's going on, get's owned by a mere fallen angel? I've asked this question many times to Christians and have yet to get an answer. Also here's another doozie, who created God if everything has to be created?

[@TTTJACK6]

Not sure how you brought God into this comment it’s off topic and whilst I’m there on that why do people just want to argue I will never understand and you are an example of this. I’m not sure you understood the persons comment actually I think you just chose to raise God to start an argument… and that’s cool but also it’s so tiring now I’ve seen it so many times online this is actually aimed at mocking a certain audience not God but you knew that

[@TTTJACK6]

Ps the fallen angel was given earth to reign over until Jesus returns however authority is given to Jesus hence he can and we can cast our demons in his name… who created God I’m not sure we all know … but il answer I am a Christian and my brother is an Astro physicist so I have great perspectives

[@TTTJACK6]

@@Radwar99sorry also He showed mercy to Satan because he is merciful Satan was amazing he had so much talent in exactly the same way he shows mercy to me when I fuck up pray maybe for more answers I ask that same question to be fair but Jesus is my one thing I know is in my heart

[@TTTJACK6]

Can you clarify your point sorry I defended you and I actually don’t understand your point that clearly sorry my mistake

REAL MATHEMATICIAN REACTS TO TBBT? --> maybe i'll do someday :) (or maybe there's not really much of a need since there are no literal mathematicians on the show. lol. i read that supposedly sheldon as the theoretical physicist is kinda already like the mathematician of the show) real engineer reacts to TBBT --> g_7LPFGIIWI real physicist reacts to TBBT --> AK3RIUvfvK8 real neuroscientist (besides mayim bialik) reacts to TBBT --> MxySrnRnW_4 real lawyer reacts to TBBT --> Rt99ntcE6X0

Took my bachelor thesis in biotechnology, I had to wash everything myself. Did a master thesis in organic chemistry, still had to was everything myself 😅 phd and postdocs also have to wash everything themselves at this university. Is it true other people wash stuff in some universities? 😅

[@alexanderdean8682]

How can you say that physics is boring? I used to be bad at physics, but that's because the teacher was boring, physics is a beautiful subject, and even me - a person who is not good at it, knows it.

Hello, I'm from Brazil. I'm a biologist and I work with human physiology. I loved your video!!!

Aw thank you! That makes me really happy to hear!

Really enjoyed it..I am ur 504th subscriber.

oh my god, you,re so like Amy Farrah Fowler in real life...damnnn.. genius

[@prachi6802]

Its a bit weird that u nly reply on comments which are good n ignore comments that ask u questions. Its your channel u can do watever u want. But ithink its nice to have a dialogue with ppl who watch your videos. Gud or bad

[@kimnettles6019]

Your channel is good but if you don't watch the show and know the characters traits you really should just stick to the biology of it. The show is not homophobic nor sexist...

[@AskANeuroscientist]

Hi! I try to stay mostly on the science but as a woman and member of the LGBT community I do feel a responsibility to call out homophobia and sexism where I see it. Unfortunately the show does have underlying tones of both of those things. There's a great video essay on it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmSQmYKfnNSrftU. I do think that the show is overall good, but we acknowledge the problematic parts while still enjoying the comedy.

[@andreil1313]

@@AskANeuroscientist Jim Parsons is right there though. I’d think he wouldn’t be taking part in something that is homophobic. Just like all the other gay actors that participated in the series.

[@andreil1313]

I’d say that the show does a good job on showing strong and intelligent women. Penny, while not a school person, is really good with people and finds success in her job because of her talent. And she’s also very “masculine” while wearing pretty shoes lol Same with Bernadette that has a great job while also having kids, and Amy that takes more care of herself as the show goes on, learning to be with other people etc.. Of course it’s a sitcom so humor is a big part of it. And I find it really funny! Unfortunately we won’t have sitcoms like this one anymore...
