These parents are the same ones who don't actually watch the show to check if their kids should watch it because "It's Disney, so it must be innocent!"

[@RandomDragonEXE]

"It's Disney, it must be innocent" is such a stupid take (imo). They've made The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Fantasia with Chernabog in it, and Clayton's death are pretty dark. Basically, Disney can get dark and when they do it, it hits hard.

[@Joe-rz3fd]

Keep in mind for this, I am a Christian, I love Jesus with all my heart, and I have been a Gravity Faller ever since I watched Tourist Trapped on its premiere night. Here's my take on the whole "Gravity Falls is an occult show" take: Yes, there are some very dark parts of the show. Yes, there are some occult things in the show. Yes, there is Satanic imagery. Yes, there are some things that will be frightening for younger viewers. But the occult part is not promoted -- in fact, just the opposite. Bill is the Eye of Providence, but he's the villain. The Society of the Blind Eye has cult vibes, but they too are villains. There is nightmare fuel in almost every episode, but again, it's treated as something to be feared and not to be messed with. Gravity Falls may DEAL in the occult, but it never PROMOTES the occult. The message seems to be "STAY THE HECK AWAY from the occult." So the parents who banned their kids from watching the show are probably right, depending on what their kids can and cannot handle. Gravity Falls is not for everyone. It's for people who can make a distinction between showing something and promoting it. EDIT: Nowhere is this more apparent than in the Book of Bill. Bill is the representation of the occult in this show. And the book dove headfirst into who Bill is, how his relationship with Ford went down, and how Ford and others tried to rid themselves of his influence, but all with one clear message: STAY AWAY FROM BILL!!! The stories in the book are eerily similar to stories of real life occultists who, even after they quit working for the demons in their lives, still were haunted by their presence. And, these people found that the only real life cure for demonic influence is a relationship with the demons' Master, Jesus Christ.

[@TheGrapeFairie]

Same with me and I agree 100%

[@ego-lay_atman-bay]

I am also a christian, and I have some of my own views on stuff like mythology and stuff like this. I say that it's ok to learn about something like mythology, it's ok to love it, but it's not ok for it to become your life. If you start to actually believe in mythology, then that's not good. Instead, you gotta know when too far is too far. This also applies to gravity falls, if you understand that it's not promoting satanism, then it's fine to get the book, and have fun reading it.

[@Overlordette]

Honestly, I fear nothing but the loss of my own hope. Science can help scout out the unknown darkness laid by Satan, so that we may learn to love thy neighbor again. Amen.

Im actually rather new to the gravity falls community (i loved the theme song as a kid but only rly watched a couple episodes) and literally binge read journal 3 the other night after rewatching the show once i heard about the new bill cipher book (im so damn excited). I was mainly looking forward to fords journey in the nightmare realm but tbh the part I like most is the beginning where we're following ford at the start of his jorney. I actually started looking at fords character differently after reading about fiddleford and all the trauma he went through. He himself acknowledged how sensitive he was but didnt encourage his best m8 to leave. Yes fiddleford came and stayed by his own free will until it was too late, but he should have encouraged him to leave right after the gremoblin attack. It also kills me to know that so much could have been avoided if he just took the book fiddleford wrote. Mcgucket is literally one of my favorite characters now. Hes so adorable and such a good friend.

3:44 The "No está en español" under there caught me off guard XD

[@WithoutaLight]

"This book is evil!" The book: "when there is darkness, don't try to fight it on your own. People who care about you won't slow down your success, don't push them away. Be careful who you trust, but cherish those who showed they're trustworthy." Hmmm. 🤔

[@felipeignaciogudenschwager3745]

At minute 6:21 a cipher message appears and decrypts it and says the biggest that gf fan video ever announcement coming soon

[@kaylasilverstein4137]

So glad you did this LOL I love reading one-star reviews for my favorite shows/movies/books. They always have like….3 year old grammar and the complaints are so nonsensical it makes you wonder if it really IS a 3 year old LOL

[@ThatGFFAN]

Thanks and lol, yeah. Sometimes I wish I made videos and on the various Mabel hate comments I've seen in my time in the fandom cause oh man, I saw some legit funny ones that make you wonder if a 3 year old wrote them too.

[@kaylasilverstein4137]

@@ThatGFFAN omg the countless “why Mabel sucks” essays, that’s funny XD. What got me into this was actually going on IMDB and reading all the 1-star reviews of Hilda (the better the show the funnier the hate reviews it always seems like LOL). I found one that went something like: “she mentally and physically tortures her two best friends on a regular basis and most of the show wouldn’t happen at all if this little bitch just stayed put and listened to her mom”. That one had me CACKLING

[@AngelFoodCake1010]

The negative reviews for the book of bill are just like this but even better. They’re so goofy and obviously from parents who ignored the age warning and got it for their children

[@antoniomantovani4983]

These people who say the book is “unholy” get me laughing hard because ITS WAS LITERALLY CREATED TO LOOK UNHOLY🙏🙏😭😭

[@Spoonicks]

I can only imagine some of these same people purchasing the black light edition and throwing them away…

[@f1zzypop.]

@@Spoonicks I WISH I KNEW ABKUT THE BLACKLIGHT EDITION WHAT.

[@AlexAtBest]

I remember when I was younger my Grandparents bought me this book but they read it and they said the same thing about it being "Demonic" and "Inappropriate for kids" but I still somehow have it to this day

[@wrath4452]

Ngl I absolutely despise parents like this.

[@AliceCadaver6]

Tbh, I laughed at the "good for Australian reader" comment for much longer than should have, since had the same thought when saw the book's content. Seriously, though, it sucks for the buyers that some of them had legitimate problems with Journal 3, whilst the others were merely complaining about demonic stuff. Like, you could at least check what THE SHOW was about before deciding upon bying the book or, at least, made some research and put 2 and 2 together. I just... Don't get some of the parents nowadays.

[@tombenshalommoshe]

"All kids deserve parents, but not all parents deserve kids" -someone, probably.

[@Smoliver]

Karen’s are gonna explode the book of bill based on these reviews

[@dark_hood7]

just like gta controversies that only made the games even more popular, because they tried to ban them

[@Octoking27]

With the cursive thing, this book TAUGHT me how to read it.

[@SolarrStars263_Alt]

on the note of cursive I'm 12. I was taught cursive before print. when was I taught, you ask? Preschool. Mother. Fluffing. Preschool. they also taught kids how to iron and use a washboard there, so checks out.

[@BmoOnAnAdvenutre]

I’d love to write a review that says “DISCOO GIRL COMING THOUGH THAT GIRL IS YOUUU OOOOH OOOH OOH!”

[@bendyfan2006]

My parents haven’t even watched the show yet they don’t care when I draw Bill or talk about gravity falls to them, and they are gonna buy me Book Of Bill when it comes out and they don’t care about the “satanic themes”.

[@pupschaoticmess308]

if only the first review had know about the invisible ink

[@arty_oddity]

8:14 if that book isn’t hard cover, you could always flip the book cover :)

Catch me on the bus reading a book upside down and you spy at the text and it's actually the right way up HOW DOES THAT HAPPENNNN!!!!

that first review sounded so much like soemthing my mom would have said 😭 which like is understandable if you have no idea what it’s about but like if you know you know it’s not bad. I bought the danger days comics and she made me return them and we had a talk about violence and sex in media

[@Mabel_falls]

4:42 bro I am a minor who owns the journal AND THE ONLY THING I GOT STUMPED ON IS ONE OF THE GIBBERISH CODE THINGS CUZ I WASNT PAYING ATTENTION BRO

Hi ThatGfFan! I just bought the journal 3 book today!

[@ThatGFFAN]

That's awesome. Happy reading :P

[@JaxenDoesStuff]

Ty!

[@gottagoquack]

insanely real because i was reading this book and my dad just HAPPENED to walk past while i was on the "palm reader" page and he got super upset and told my mom about it (in which she tried to say the book was influencing me negatively or something... idk)

[@Itistheblue]

The book that was upside-down might not be an actual journal 3, the front is empty except the handprint, but on every version of the journal wether blacklight or signed it has something else on the front

[@mikeaz1310]

5:20 imagine some kid walking through this guy garbage can and saw the journal , it would feel like getting it like dipper in the show

[@bu_silas5191]

7:35 Which animator who hates Alex? I haven't even heard of the story yet. What was happening? Can someone enlighten me?

[@THS_Station]

I watched Gravity Falls and read Journal 3. Well, guess I’m a cultist now, time to go summon demons.

[@CatPCgaming]

Can't wait to read all the negative Book of Bill reviews where parents are angry that there's some more "adult" humor in it, not realizing that the book isn't being marketed at kids in the slightest.

[@BrettKennedy-fs6rq]

When I was a kid, I brought my book with me to youth camp. And I was told I had demons and was prayed out in the gym in front of everyone it was so stupid.

[@itsJMoneyyo]

7:54 i cant remember but im p darn sure the journal had a removable sleeve on it i also think i remember it having a blue print for the portal on the inside so maybe thats the issue but i could be crazy
