[@RatEatingSevenWorms]

@@ciana42by “supporting ethnic cleansing” they mean that James Maslow visiting Israeli towns that were attacked by the anti Jew terrorist group Hamas on October 7th. A terrorist group that in no way represents Palestinians and that has been undemocratically holding power over Palestinians without fair elections for decades. It should be noted that the aims of Hamas is liberation of Palestine only in the way of the extermination and expulsion of all Jews from the Levant. Just as Hamas doesn’t represent Palestinians the Israeli government doesn’t represent Israeli’s or their interests and instead wants to expel all Palestinians from the Levant instead, a horrific extremist act that has lead to the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent people under the guise of anti Hamas action. The situation in Palestine Israel is not a fandom war, it is an incredibly complex political, social, and historic conflict over the holy land of multiple world religions. It’s not as simple as people on social media with no historical literacy like to pretend it is and it will not be solved through violence and division.

I am BEGGING you to look at Max Klinger from M*A*S*H 👁️👁️ his whole bit is that he’s a man who dresses in feminine things in order to protest his drafting into the war (the show takes place in a mash unit during the Korean War). He’s just such an interesting character, dressing femininely even when it’s clear he won’t get a pardon from duty. He’s obviously just written as a walking man in a dress joke, but from a modern lens he’s hardly criticized for his dresses and skirts (except by characters that are made to be prudish and seen as antagonists.) in conclusion ily Max Klinger ❤️ he’s genderfuck and I know it. It was told to me in a vision.

The bit about the writers poking fun at themselves wouldn't really be parody, it would be lampshading, where you can acknowledge some form of criticism of your work, and, ideally, offer a couter-point and defend your work in that work itself. It is often, however, used by less savvy writers to say "see, we know you think this" without actually elaborating and thinking they're better off from it, somehow.

[@artemisSystem]

13:53 this moment haunts me to this day. i remember watching this as a kid, seeing this, and thinking "oh, those things i've been thinking ("i want to be a girl") are definietly not things that are okay, i guess i'll just repress it". i have no idea how much this scene actually contributed to me not properly realizing i was trans until many years later. but, i definitely think that if instead we'd gotten a story about a kid who realizes she's trans, and what that means and how she's feeling, my life might have gone very differently. not that i'm wishing it had, i'm happy with where i'm at. i don't dwell on it much, but it is something i think about from time to time. i hope future generations of trans kids get better representation than we did. things seem to be moving in that direction, at least

Tbh I've never watched Riverdale because .... did they make Jughead straight despite being aroace or was that just the fans being overly enthusiastic about his close friendship with Betty? Because I really really really really hate the aphobic behavior of just ignoring it when a character does not date and is not straight. Not every character needs to be paired up with another character.

[@ghostoftheashplant1471]

No, they made Jughead straight. Jughead and Betty's romantic relationship is a huge part of the show. I was very, very disappointed (I'm aroace)

[@oxiklein]

okay as a diehard riverdale, archie comics, and jughead fan: idk how much you know abt these characters but jughead is named asexual in one run of the comics, that began in 2016. he's never called aromantic, just asexual. in the rest of the comics a gay jughead interpretation is prevalent alongside an asexual reading. riverdale does pair him up with betty pretty immediately and he's paired with a woman for almost the entire show. he's actually the only character in the main cast and almost the entire cast who is never shown to be involved in a queer relationship (it's implied but not explicitly.) queer jughead (as well as just the archie comics as queer) and riverdale have a lot of history that makes me wonder if the showrunners were even allowed to make him queer and if they even wanted to but that's a lot to unpack. I myself am on the aroace spectrum and have watched a lot of riverdale and read a lot of archie comics so I say with confidence jughead is definitely straightwashed but it's a little more complicated than just making an aroace character straight.

I’d like to think there’s just one dedicated employee in Hollywood who makes every single music sting for every “I just got the idea to crossdress” moment on tv. That’s their only job.

I would be curious to see you cover Mrs. Doubtfire. I saw part of the movie partway through last year, and was pleasantly surprised. While it does use the setup of a guy dressing up as a woman to get access to something they otherwise wouldn't, I can say that during the part of the film I saw, they avoided making jokes where the punchline was purely "man in dress"

[@amaryllis543]

Kendall was so wrong for this episode but I can somewhat overlook it because their relationship in general after this is actually pretty great, especially for being in a show like this. He makes a really good effort for her, planning picnic dates and stuff and if I recall correctly he was really mature about her having to move for her career and didn't want to hold her back. I don't know why they made him so full on with flirting with her though. I wish they had him decide to hang out with her as friends after finding out about her boyfriend and then they could keep having moments where they get caught up and both forget that they're not supposed to be romantic, but it wouldn't be one sided. Eventually Jo would realize she actually does want to be with him and it would be cute and a lot less creepy. I know the majority of this video has nothing to do with their relationship but I just have a lot of thoughts lol. I think in general Kendall is my favorite character but they did not do him well in this episode.

I've had a sexual awakening thanks to BTR too only with Kendall and it took me awhile to realize it! Back when I was a teen and I identified as a boy, I had this weird infatuation and interest with Kendall! There was a worry in the back of my head that that meant that I was gay and I was taught that it was wrong to be gay, so I suppressed it and instead decided that I simply wanted to be like him! Recently though, thanks to starting HRT, I finally broke apart my internalized homophobia and I realized that I was actually pansexual, and I realized that I was actually attracted to him!

It's sad how many of these Nickelodeon live action sitcoms have a bunch of this icky Queerphobia to them Legit one of the only sitcoms that wasn't completely drowned out by this stuff was Drake & Josh, granted we all know Dan Schneider is a creep and there was some crossdressing in the pilot episode, but suprisingly on rewatch I noticed there's some good deconstructing of gender roles through the characters, like the episode where Drake & his girlfriend challenge each other to a fight, and also seeing Josh be comfortable with how he's perceived and not being obsessed with being some toxic masculine archetype, hell even Drake eventually grows out of it a little towards the end of the show Rambly I know but that's one of the only nick sitcoms I can still enjoy even inspite of the fucked up shit surrounding the crew who worked on it, as there's even these little things that make me feel euphoria, even if part of it could just be headcanons (plus the show is genuinely funny so it has that going for it too)

Man I kinda love btr 😂 it’s def not perfect and I understand it not hitting the same for everyone-but their self-aware absurdist humor is kinda right up my alley. The fact the changes into any costume just happen by ducking out of frame for a second?? Do you have any idea how much I wish I could do that? (Not just cross dressing for the costumes by any means, this was a Costume Heavy show, if nothing else a lot of dressing up like bushes to be sneaky) I personally always found the humor more in the sound effects and the wild leaps in logic that all the characters do, rather than laughing really at the thing they’re doing. This was just a world where ppl follow their dreams and explore unlikely ideas and it’s so fun :) I adore how chill everyone is with ppl going FULL OUT in whatever unusual thing they’ve decided to do. The show was def always more in the realm of lighthearted escapism for me, and gave me the courage to publicly go all-out on the things that I do, like costumes :)

[@ZipplyZane]

In TV shows involving disguises (especially comedies), when the audience is in on the disguise, it's a trend to have the disguise be much better in-universe than it is out of universe. (Think Bugs Bunny in drag, for example.) It makes it obvious even to viewers who come in late or are letting the show go in the background. And it helps with the dramatic irony if the audience can't even for a moment forget who the character "really" is. I note this a lot in these cross dressing disguise episodes. There seems to be a reluctance to put in too much effort, since part of the comedy is often in the drag aspect being obvious. That's why it was odd to me that Cody in Suite Life looked so much like a girl. Or why Shawn look so feminine in Boy Meets World (which should cover if you haven't.)

The Warhammer reference hot me hard. Not because I'm a Warhammer fan or know anything about it, but because my best friends are and now I have the urge to send them this whole video for this one reference

[@wwillls]

I would be so curious to hear what you think of the star trek ds9 episode 'profit and lace' where quark like fully transitions temporarily. i watched it recently and was just thinking woah lily simpson would have a field day with this. obviously ds9 is already very transgender thanks to dax

[@TrashBandico]

Let's gooooo! Love a dive into a show I never watched

[@Sharp22CatFish]

Lesss gooo!

[@captainomnomnomm6513]

The highschool I went to was one of the ones that BTR played at and for the entirety of my time there I would pass a framed signed poster that was kept in like the way back corner that they shoved the art students

[@AQWpaladan]

Shoutouts to Shane Topp's greatest role

[@theshire9173]

This reminds me that Ned’s Declassified had an ongoing thing where Cookie would dress up as a girl. I don’t remember how that held up, but I remember the bully guy thought she was the girl of his dreams, so at least they portrayed the trans gag as a pretty attractive girl

[@lakegroce685]

Lily, darlin I’m gonna be honest with you;I got a little high before I watched this and said out loudly during your opening bit “ is this…are these references to the show or some songs?” I don’t know anything about BTR and I’m too old to learn.I still thought it was very good video.

[@superjew837]

Lily how can you put out this much content so quickly you’re scaring me

[@heyhey-jayjay2189]

I went to a BTR concert when I was 12 with my neighbors and Cody Simpson opened for them. On the way home, one of the other kids with us (a group of like 3 preteens and one teenager with her mom driving us all) threw up on everyone's shoes in the back seat of the mom's car. Not sure what that says about the band but I always remember that night when BTR comes up

[@sandwichqueen]

You should do the Amazing World of Gumball. Expecially the dad.

[@dooziiie4540]

Babe wake up new hour long Lily Thompson video dropped

[@urbroz]

I guess ill keep commenting on every video i watch, but PLEASE do My babysitter's a Vampire Episode 2: Three cheers for evil It has 1 transphobic scene but the rest of it is so gay and trans and flawless (TO ME)

[@auditect950]

Imagine if all of the girls in the classroom pulled off their wigs and revealed they're actually guys. I'm not sure if that would have made it better or worse though.

[@casualcraftman1599]

I've only seen a couple episodes of this show a long time ago probably. I really hope there is nothing transphobic in Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide or any of the cast and crew unmask as transphobic when I rewatch the show or catch up on the podcast. I don't want to revisit Dan Schneider shows after reading I'm Glad my Mom Died. The only Nick shows I rewatch are Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra, and the first three SpongeBob seasons and first SpongeBob movie.

[@PipeGuy64Bit]

Well there were a few episodes where Cookie cross dresses

[@AutisticTransbian04]

Welp, guess there was always a reason I never rewatched the show I swear Nickelodeon is filled with either Pro Trans subtexts (Danny Phantom, Teenage Robot, Spongebob, and even though I'm not big on Fairly Oddparents anymore it had that one episode, and suprisingly even Avatar has some light trans subtexts in there), or it's just milkingly aged "Haha man in dress" transphobia There's only a handful of nick shows I still like to watch, a lot of the rest can get banished to the depths of time like they deserve

[@quinnfarris]

​@AutisticTransbian04 A lot of these shows were written by multiple people, with different writers' influences coming out in different places. Even if some of the people behind a show suck, why should that overshadow the work of everyone else whose artistic talent touched the project? There are so so many people who work on these things. I prefer to rewatch things when the people behind them enjoyed working on them.

[@kaylemathewcomendador6964]

@@PipeGuy64Bit I remember one of those episodes. Main things I remember from it was that Cookie usually leaves a scene by flamboyantly saying “see ya!”, Ned found him the hottest girl he saw that day and there was a joke that went “hur der, look at this woman with a deep voice” joke.

[@AutisticTransbian04]

​@@justanormalguy563I think you misinterpreted what I was saying I wasn't saying I was "swearing off all nick shows cause of a few poorly aged things", I was just mentioning the massive disconnect between how animated nicktoons portray trans people and how sitcoms do it, probably could've communicated that better ngl Also to be frank I just don't like a lot of older nick stuff anymore, overtime a lot of them just lost the appeal to me, again I apologize for not communicating that well enough

[@mattthescrapheap4755]

a 40k reference i was not expecting in this video i love it

[@irradiatedsalmonid1534]

Same.

[@deimmartillo1674]

18:51 I hace a cousin who told me to do that and my cousin is a girl. I hope her son doesn't follow her advice when he grows up.

[@micahbidlake9803]

Thank you for the 40k fan call out, perfectly timed with me putting the finishing touches on my grot mega-tank (putting 3d printed goblins and guns on a toy Volkswagen microbus)

[@anokartist2352]

8:55 as someone currently mid-hyperfixation on the tmnt this made me waaayyyy too happy lol. Also, i like that they're all the 2003 version exept donnie.

[@Foxy02016]

Big Time Rush was the first band I ever saw live

[@cha0ticneutralbigs]

As an ex 1D fan I honestly don’t remember their names either, only Nial and Zayne cuz I was obsessed with them. I also just want to point out that narcissism isn’t the same as egotism. Narcissism is a psychiatric term for a person with Narcissistic personality disorder and non-NPD-havers shouldn’t be referred to as such as they do not have NPD, therefore cannot be narcissistic. That term is also often misused as a weapon against people, especially people with NPD and misusing the term adds on to stigma pwNPD face, which is often so common that most “mental health advocates” and cluster Bs will shit on us for no reason. Maybe use the term “egotistical” or “self centred” next time.

[@pigeontime751]

Awwww the kitty was singing along at the end!!!!

[@waniamajidhussain]

They were my favourite and one of the only 4 boys who i stanned super hard but james supporting a genocide, wearing a press vest in israel and all the pro israel propganda on his page, is my worst nightmare of all

[@Minihood31770]

The style of editing, performance, and general vibes really reminds me of the Fine Bros' MyMusic series from a decade ago. Starring a younger JacksFilms. I can't remember if there's any trans episodes, but it's only like 6 episodes so I might check through to confirm and request it.

[@wesnarwhal815]

DAMNIT Big time rush was my SHIIIT.

[@asmolgaytree]

Together we can make Bigger Time Rush

[@rylie03]

before i get too into this video, I just HAD to say YOUR OUTFIT SLAYS

[@josf9616]

Your intro was INCREDIBLE

[@o_cet]

Last few minutes of first episode mentioned were my first experience with BTR back in elementary school, i remember not being sure if logan was a boy or girl (i didn't know world outside binary yet) and having to wait to find out till i catch another episode, it also started my first and only hyperfixation with a boyband almost 16 years later i'm trans out and proud ✌🏻🏳️‍⚧️

[@CallMeTess]

I almost feel bad for þe newcomers who click your videos expecting drama and fight-picking and come away wiþ a well-researched and fair analysis of þe text, packed wiþ insightful commentary and media literacy.

[@prettypinkpansy]

great video, very concise! so many extremely funny bits in here and loved the gratuitous fanservice (cat interlude)

[@mazerinthemage2395]

Never heard of BTR, but I like watching to support you
