Uki is a real safe space

[@avourrito1819]

he's a true accepting mama, a safe and comfortable, kind mama

[@tameyofujoshi]

True and his voice is so soothing, his Minecraft streams helps me sleep

[@TsukiKun15]

Uki feels like a good safe place to me. When I hear his voice I feel safe.

[@larscarvalho5323]

Umless If you're white

[@minah2328]

They do talk about this every so often but they don’t even have to. Just seeing them be unapologetically themselves is inspiring. I know based on some of the terrible off handed comments my parents make about strangers that they wouldn’t accept me if I came out to them so I have just decided that I don’t need their acceptance. They don’t have to know, it’s not that important to me anymore that they accept me. Because I know other people who mean more to me will, and uki Is a part of inspiring me to put myself first. 💜

[@DerBunny]

That is amazing. I am glad you realized you do not need their acceptance to be happy. It is their lost. Keep being strong ❤️

[@minah2328]

@@DerBunny thank you!

[@lynseoltang1183]

I'm happy that you're prioritizing your self than any others opinion. As a mother I don't understand why some people would not accept their child just because they do have a preferred gender. Specially if you're a mom. Like you carried that child for 9 months. Risk your life bring that child to the world. You've sacrificed a lot for them so won't you want them to be happy too? Don't you want them to be safe? I don't really get it why would a parent do that to their own child. it's stupid.

[@minah2328]

@@lynseoltang1183 thank you. Your way of thinking about it is very mature and I respect it a lot. I think some people just don’t base their support of their child on that, but rather compare them to other people and what has been the norm for their entire life. So they can’t accept their child being different from that. It’s very sad and I wish more parents could see things the way you do.

[@ky0m1e]

uki has helped me a lot too accept who i am and not be scared. honestly, i dont think others understand how much he help his lgbt+ audience with self confidance, coming out, and many other things

[@zero9112]

I wonder if the day will come when the future generations will look at generation Z as outdated, traditionalist group of people the same way Baby Boomers are thought of present time. What kind of outlandish ideals would the future generations have? I'm excited for that.

[@solidpomu]

1:42 this is one of the things i love about uki. he doesn't wish the girl harm, but instead wishes she has grown to be a better person, and is still able to comfort the original commenter. he doesn't recycle the hate and creates a comfortable and positive environment for everybody

[@lyt.07]

I don't watch Uki that often, but as a LGBTQ+ person I can say that he is really nice, and really brings that warm and comforting feeling to his viewers by telling to be themselves. He's so real for that

[@kiyochan_]

i like how open uki is about this sort of thing (also the ending with the "ace rights" thing hell yeah!!) but yeah im genuinely happy that by being himself hes helping others even if hes not trying to, i know it means a lot to the people that watch him

[@aerisssan6504]

When uki said “you’re gonna have to prioritize yourself cause no one else will do it for you” i felt and needed that i may not watching uki a lot but he earned my utmost respect at this point.

[@AffyMoon]

Honestly love when Uki and other livers just give us all words that really touch us and make us feel comfortable and welcome. We love them for their quirkiness and entertainment, but there's just something special about the genuinity that moments like these have. It truly makes us all feel like a sort of family lol Also Uki is really giving me more confidence to come out to my parents lol. Perhaps after my finals

[@venasolo1339]

uki is the kinda person you can trust with your drink.

[@arcana3119]

"to feel a lit bit safer mentally and emotionally" "had to wait until I was able to get a place where I could move out and afford it." this is me with my bisexuality and bipolar and other mental disorders here. Sometimes, ppl throw a different shi- at bi ppl like "choose one" or "r u faking here?". We get that even from lgbtq community. Perhaps whoever said that isn't educated enough but I feel so bad about that.

[@jaquir2502]

Uki talking about moving out to be in a safe environment even if it means being tight financially is the same boat I’m in and it gives me comfort to hear what he said bc although Ik this is the better choice it’s still terrifying to me

[@alix4278]

I love Uki and the community he created so much. We're all here to respect and support each other, which is something you don't see often nowadays. Love you guys

[@issaperson2628]

Ukis chat,his community,and them are just such a huge safe space especially in the vtuber community

[@chehwa_]

I'm really glad to have met Uki. He is a wonderful person with a huge warm heart.

[@yua3809]

It makes me happy to see stargazers who have been encouraged by uki to be themselves and feel safe. Thank you for the clip!

[@chiakiclips]

yuaさん！I'm glad you liked the clip. 🤗

[@big-t-shirts]

Family and community acceptance is incredibly important when coming out as lgbt+. I'm glad it's generally becoming more accepted as time goes on. I came out around a decade ago and even within this short period of time, lgbt+ rights have improved a lot.

[@jun_owo_]

man that family talk hit hard. I feel more confident in accepting myself and my situation thanks to that :,) otsu on the clip chiaki-san 💜

[@ukiki65]

I feel safe in this clip chanel, other people that clip this moment is full of comments with weird people 😭

[@ukiki65]

That aside, thank you for clipping this moment. I was one of the people he answered and I love this community so much ♡ you all help me a lot with loving myself.

[@chiakiclips]

OMG yes that was you!! Congratulations again 💜💜💜 Glad you liked the clip~

[@gabimarus4834]

Exactly!! I love this clip channel so much. It feels so comfy and safe

[@gabimarus4834]

Thank u Chiaki clips

[@JoJ0Kun]

i feel so validated by him, i really owe him a lot.

[@fouryweiss7171]

I'm just happy that I recently met Uki on KZbin. Now I constantly have anxiety attacks on various topics, including this topic, but watching his video makes me feel comfortable, the feeling that I am not alone in this world who is faced with this.

[@blipblop8391]

Ive always had to hide my true identity, even to the point where I dissociate myself and regurgitate every homophobic things people have said to save my ass. It's really hard, it really is. it's even sadder that I cant ever open up to anyone atleast until Im out of the education system, because universities rely heavily on friendship. I hate it so much I really do, but hearing uki talk about this always makes me look forward to the day where I can breathe and find people who love me, accept my sexuality, and let me be free to be myself. I can't wait till that day. I know it will come, I've met so many people, talk to therapists, and tell my true self without them telling me its unnatural. Without shame. Without guilt. One day I'll meet those people, and I'm sure you all too.

[@owitch]

Hopefully someday soon you will meet more peole irl, even if have to move, where you can find safe & comfort by being with them.

[@n00dledoodledoo]

i suppose this confirms their lore isn't so far off from their real life. uki is such a strong person.

[@Ghostpotatoee]

Uki and nijisanji as a whole ngl is like a safe space for a lot of lgbtq+ audiences tbh. We have a lot of bi icon in nijisanji but Uki (our 💅🏻💅🏻 king) and Reimu (another bi icon) specifically talks about it a lot 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@notmo.]

People always just talk about safe spaces for lgbtq+ people, but what about people who have been bullied for having physical or mental disabilities. I don't get why people only want safe spaces for lgbtq+ people, but don't care about other groups who have been bullied, threatened etc. for being different. It feels like the only group that should deserve acceptance is the lgbtq+ one, and not any other group.

[@cuongquan1633]

@@notmo. Because it is the current topic that him and his chat come up with and discussed, this is not the place for inclusive policy my dude. And tbh the internet is always a ceased pool of animosity and trolls. So the only safe place at least on the internet to me its the stability of one's own mind.

[@SungHanbinniee]

​@@notmo. ur just making shit up atp like ??? where do u find mofos that want ONLY lgbtq+ spaces

[@LuizGGA]

@@notmo. bro let's not compete about who gets acceptance ok? Uki is talking about lgbt acceptance because he is lgbt, but there are plenty of disabled streamers that also created safe enviroments for disabled people too, ironmouse is a great example

[@LuizGGA]

@@notmo. to say that there are other groups who "deserve it more" is quite literally the line of thought that makes it hard to raise awareness to all minorities while still giving ammunition for the intolerant to oppress all of us more

[@decimalpoint5999]

Uki speaking facts as ALWAYS. I love him sm.

[@imuniquefangirl]

I love him so much TT he's the only Vtuber that I feel safe enough to talk in his chat

[@Cocacolucarasol869]

After I know this, Uki from already good in my mind to very based. Always support the LGBTQ community.

[@Suited_Nat]

Uki has been such a help ngl. I’ve gotten more confident in my sexuality. I recently started to identify as nonbinary. And while I know some of my family is going to be supportive, I know my father is transphobic :)) But either way, Uki’s channel always gives me comfort as a queer person. (Me who wants to have a gf :,)

[@RandCustom]

I’m not a Niji fan but I’m glad we got another LGBTQ+ friendly Vtuber in our community. Wish you the best Uki

[@amparub]

Like a lot of people have said already, you are my favorite clipper chiaki because you respect uki’s content so much. We all can see how much thought you put into every clip, so thank you for clipping this beautiful moment. Im proud of you, im proud of uki, and im proud of everyone in the community 💜 Lets keep fighting stargazers, we can create a better world💜🫶🏻💜 *Edited my misspellings

[@22nika]

uki is a blessing to this world

Be here and be queer, as I said in the chat near the end of the clip lol

[@AngelTail]

go Vinn-sensei! arigatou for sharing ur rabu and pride for Uki-sensei and go go goo Uki-sensei for the queer support! 'hoping in future to have more trans and queer Vtubers in Nijisanji and Hololive, just like they're so many LGBTQIA+ creators in indie spaces, too! Visible, indivisible, ready for whatever crucible IKZ!

i love this clip so much. every time i get reminded that my family is homophobic, i always go to watch this. this is why uki is my kamioshi 💜

[@nya4010]

I am so proud of uki being my oshi

[@cherrycharmm]

This community really is so beautiful. Coming to accept myself as trans has been a real wild ride, but Uki has created such a warm and loving space here that has helped me learn more how to love myself as I am. I'm so happy i found them and the stargazers

The ace rights at the end got me- Uki is just

[@stridergeny5906]

Not gonna lie I'm a straight white guy but after learning about divisive Vtubers like Pippa and FallenShadow hearing Uki say stuff like this restored some faith in the Vtubing community for me.

[@notmo.]

There are both good and bad examples of it, but unfortunately, most of the time you only hear the loud and toxic minority who ruin the image of the whole group.

[@kotorandcorvid4968]

Pippa did nothing wrong. The only thing she did was attack bullies.

[@zulyxariffin1243]

uki always talk about this emotional situation without any.... weight? is that the word? I'm not sure which word to use but what i mean is uki always know how to create a comfortable atmosphere/environment where make people able to say any weight/people/anything in their mind (aka a safe space).... the way he react to that always make me smile... maybe that why i love watching his stream whenever he have something like tea time or comfortable stream where uki just chatting with chat.... you can tell this man have up and down in his life... i love uki so much🥰

[@drboyfailure]

thank you for listening to the uki violeta ted talk

[@cyb3rl0v333]

Uki made me feel really sure of myself, that if I wanted to pursue a career as a trans, gay vtuber.. I could! ❤️

[@SynchronicitySOS]

Uki has been one of the few Vtubers I consistently come back to precisely because I have something personal in common with him. It's completely refreshing to be able to listen to his flirting and jokes and laugh earnestly without any of the awkwardness or knowledge that the character is ultimately straight. Straight guys make gay jokes all the time, but it's always extra spicy and fun when it's a gay guy doing it.

[@mar-nyan]

He’s the best person, ily Uki 💗

[@blairfujin]

why did it suddenly start raining in my room ;3; ?

[@clanime3486]

Thank you for clipping this amazing moment Chiaki 🥹 you're always making sure you respect mama's context and are very friendly for accessibility. Editing is also top tier! I'm so happy you support mama and are helping us gayzers spread his good word 💜

[@Momochan144528]

I've been enjoying watching Uki lately because I feel like I can be proud of who I am as an ally. I've got some judgemental from others for being an ally so it's been difficult to find some spaces where I can voice that I am and I wanna learn and support the others of their community. And Uki's voice makes you calm a lot. So all in all, yeah I'm glad he's making safe spaces for you and I.

[@kat-rey]

0-0 hearing this talk almost makes me cry since i don't think i can come out to my parents since they always speak badly of the LGBTQ+ community... once they found out about a letter of me liking girls... after they read it they told me "maybe your just confused. just know this is unacceptable" .. i have dated 3 girls before hand like dude... 0-0.

[@rvdrawn4088]

beautiful. I love Uki. and it's fate that I found this clip and what he said really helped me to understand what I need to next in life.

[@Suited_Nat]

Honestly, I think uki was the first and only streamer I consistently watched before my schedule started getting a lot more busy. As a queer person, I always felt so happy to be a part of his community. He’s one of the first queer VTubers I learned about, so it made me feel a lot less alone in the world. All in all, while I might not watch uki as much as I did before, I’m so happy for the time I did watch his videos and streams. They made me happy and feel safe, when at times I’ve felt unsafe because of my identity. To all the queer folks or just people who are coming to terms with their identities, I always want you to know that just because you aren’t the defined “norm” doesn’t make you any less deserving of love, whether it’s platonic, romantic or familial. :)

[@Helvetica_]

i am so so grateful for the community uki has created! so proud to call myself a stargazer

[@Dragonero11700]

As an LGBT supporter and somebody who have the same birthday as him I can totally relate to him ,I feel bad for those people that did not get that mental stability and had to hide themself or what they wanted to be ,don't care if something is wrong in other eyes you are being yourself and there is nothing wrong with it

[@z0z0zu35]

Uki isn't just creating a safe space, he is a safe space 😊 thanks to this boi I became brave enough to act like myself instead of constantly masking, even if I have not told my family about it yet but honestly he's right your own happiness matters so much more than living up to someones expectations of what you're "supposed to be"

[@maliha0001]

Uki is so strong... i wanna be one of Uki's strength too! 💜

[@nnubes]

whenever i see this clip, i cry lol. so scared to come out to anyone really

[@OverseasFan]

Unsupportive parents are the worst because that's you whole world growing up

[@notmo.]

Sometimes even worse than bullies, since you don't even feel accepted anymore at your own home.

[@zero9112]

Reminds me of the time I tried to make an Apathy Pride week in my highschool but I got bored and dropped it.

[@ivan-sin-compania5710]

That's actually pretty accurate, "straight pride is everyday". I'm gonna use that.

[@FirescreamGraphics]

You know, even though I'm a straight person, I have a lot of friends that are either Les, Bi, Gay or Trans and in my opinion, why do people even categorize? Isn't it all about who the person is, PERSONALLY? As in their personality, rather than what they're into? If a person is an ass, they can be anything, but they'll stay as an ass.... This "Labelling is dumb"... I get along with a lot of people, despite their sexuality or what gender they are, just because of what they're like, not what or who they like

[@yolksoda]

This makes me so happy to know someone at nijisanji EN is such an openly safe space for lgbt fans

[@Yusni-bc2cm]

People who say "Straight Pride" give me the same vibe as people who say "It's okay to be white." In many occasions they are same people.

[@benjirivoh]

Ah.. no? I do not think it is the same thing.. (speaking as a black person) because it is okay to be white if that's how you are born, but it's not okay to be a racist white person. But, what's not okay is straight pride because those mfs been having parties to celebrate their toxicity ever since it became a thing.

[@ArtficialFlvrz]

it is okay to be white though, you're making sweeping generalizations that something is off about people you don't know because of the idea of them thinking something that is obviously true, unless you think being a specific race somehow isn't okay, which is actual racism.

[@fr_nyancat]

@@ArtficialFlvrz ok what makes one ok and one not?

[@blairfujin]

I think "white lives matter" would be a better equivalent (it has the same vibe of "why are you talking about your issues? how dare the world not revolve around me for one minute?"), and I mean, it's ok to be white/straight/cis, what is not ok is hurting people that aren't because of it

[@quartzninja]

It's just folks who've grown up with an undeserved sense of superiority, struggling against the reality that to coincidental nature of their birth doesn't actually secure them the right to act as if they are at the center of the universe.

[@MIKE_ASTA]

Uh I'm non binary and my mom doesn't like non binary ppl saying why does it exists, just be a girl or a boy! And um..... now I don't wanna tell her...

[@JBOMB802]

Oof good luck man

[@beelzemobabbity]

You could try to explain it in more simple terms. Most of the time you arent going to be able to get them to use the right terms, but if you care about her understanding you have to accept some inaccuracies. Maybe say something like “i dont feel like im a boy or a girl” or rather than “im nonbinary”. Or “Being a boy or a girl doesn’t feel right, i only feel comfortable not using either”. Tell her more how you feel, and how being this or that makes you feel rather than trying to get her to agree with the label. You might never be able to get her to use the term or pronouns, but at the very least you can get closer.

[@sswon8944]

Is it a rent, or does he have his own livingspace?? If it's the latter, I hope it means we can buy one too?

[@johnjohn2570]

Woah a not transphobic vtuber that’s new

[@notmo.]

Idk dude you're watching the wrong kind of vtubers then to say something like that.

[@beelzemobabbity]

Its not, you just need to stay away from toxicity

[@diana-om5xz]

bro you just watched a couple of transphobic vtubers and suddenly assume all of them are the same?? there's a lot of supportive and nice vtubers out there (who are also allies). many vtubers are queer and some are even trans/non-binary themselves. nijisanji itself has/had a couple of non-binary vtubers too. hell, uki himself goes by he/them as well. vtubers are just regular people at the end of the day. there's good people and there's bad people everywhere, the same can be said for the vtuber community. it's never been a "requirement" for everyone in the community to be bigot. 💀

[@Wapiss]

This is why Uki is one of my Oshis he so based and supportive of his fellow queer fans and members of nijiEN!! EDIT: I JUST GOT TO THE END OF THE VIDEO WOOO TRANS RIGHTS THANK U UKI (A TRANS PERSON PROBABLY)

[@on_crono]

See, this is why I choose and dedicate Uki to be my oshi, and I have no regret of doing it and I'm proudly to tell you that I'm glad to be their/his stargazer for a year
