I'll take motivated reasoning for $1000, Alex... DAILY DOUBLE!!! you're probably too young for that reference, kinda like the children too young to ever consent to becoming a lifelong medical patient... :]
Good on you for calling out the millions of false equivalencies anti-trans people participate in. It’s exhausting to just do the basics of debate politics for people, and I see and appreciate you.
I did complain about someone playing Hogwarts legacy once, but it was because my brother said he couldn't make it to our D&D session that day because he was too busy playing it. -_-
Hey Samantha! Merry Christmas!! You'll probably never read this, but just want to say how much of a fan I am. I've been out as a trans woman for 6 months (been on hormones for 2) and your channel was one of the first I saw. Your content has really helped me come to terms with all the baggage that comes with being trans and has made me feel less alone. Especially in the early stages. Thank you so much for everything, girl!
I bet you she does read it, she's amazing like that.😊 Remember, your brave and fierce and never alone. If you are anything like me you finally found your tribe.
Thank you for exposing all the bigotry and hateful comments that these people keep pushing on us trans people that were trying to transition your kids and force them to get surgeries and stuff like NO were just trying to live our life and be who we truly want to be and I'm a beautiful women i've hid for the last 10 years because of my hateful parents not accepting me for who i Am!!! I appreciate you so much girl!!
what's wild to me is the idea that puberty blockers are "ruining children's bodies." is a 9yo's body ruined? is a pre-pubescent child's body ruined? what about a 6yo going through precocious puberty because of a brain tumor, should their body be subjected to breast growth and pubic hair and all that, or are puberty blockers PROTECTING their bodies by preventing unwanted changes? the idea that children can't consent comes from contract law and sexual consent laws, so children aren't *really* consenting to medical procedures either but that's the point of a parent consenting on their behalf. the parent and the doctor come to a decision about what is in the child's best interest. when a child is amab but is experiencing intense dysphoria and refuses to be called a boy, it is in that child's best interest to at MINIMUM postpone male puberty until they reach the age of consent.
frankly the only reason for the xitter exodus rn is that elon successfully bought the election. he bought twitter, he manipulated it to spread misinformation, that misinformation resulted in trump's win, and that was the straw that broke the camel's back apparently. i don't think that if trump had lost, people would be fleeing xitter because they weren't leaving when he bought the place 2 years ago and it was just as transphobic and hateful and bigoted then as it is now. the only difference is that it swung an election.
I mean, the surgery is incredibly painful and invasive (my roommate works in a hospital, he has helped on many of these) and the aftermath will be painful for months (if not years) after, but what anti-trans people don't seem to get in their heads: Puberty blockers are not. I don't know about other countries, but here, kids are not allowed to have the surgery. They have to be fully grown adults and fulfill many requirements. There is absolutely no reason to badmouth supporting kids being trans, even if some might just be "exploring".
"Children can't consent to taking hormones that they want, but it's very good for them when their body forcibly puts hormones that they don't want into them"
I used bluesky and didn’t really enjoy the process of seeing so many bots there 😂! Great vid though! TRANSPHOBES ARE ALWAYS GONNA BE PATHETIC AF!!!!! The last meme was really REALLY cringe (as were all these memes). Either way, Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, and happy new year! You’re someone I love tunin into because it’s always a joy to watch your content!
bluesky is basically only usable once you add on the block lists and moderation packs that people have put together for free. i don't generally see any bots anymore, or bigots because unlike on xitter those accounts aren't allowed to pay to amplify their reach, they are shut down as they should be.
i have watched many viedoes of different platfroms of "trans" people. as someone with my own journey i do, really understand the sound of a comment that says, you are beautiful as a trans woman can seem, like the wrong thing to say.. the "you look pretty for a trans girl" i get that! everyone is like, why can you just say "wow, your beautiful" but what is the appropriate statement on a platform that recognizes their "trans" story? What is a person on their own transitional journey, honestly not just wanting to be accepted, but like all humans, wanting to be desired, and attractive, supposed to say to others such as yourself. Knowing you had that journey? How can we say it respectful, with out the "trans" being the most important part. but the.... I am so happy your journey has produced such a beautiful person? As i have posted on many of Sams post, they she has never responded to. i dont think she will to this one either, but maybe one of you who reads this understands where i am comming from, and like same.. is beautiful after your transition.. and will respond
@@_samanthalux just as fyi. i have a wife, been married for over 30 years, i love your natural beauty... without make up.. and i also think she is fantastic when she does! thats the same for you sam!! your beautiful! not all glammed up! as much as your extraordinarily georgeous that way, i am envious in your videos when your just you
@@_samanthalux then why do you always refer to trans women including yourself as biological men? you're no better than the people who make these memes.
@@_samanthalux .... the "you look pretty for a trans girl".... "it’s always appreciated :) " actually, leaving aside the hysteria and silly reasons they list, i think you are the reason they want to ban puberty blockers for kids. idk your history, but you are petty enough and at least to me you pass well enough that i couldn't tell you were trans wout you saying it. and they HATE that, they above all do not want trans women passing as cis. Kaitlyn Jenner can't pass, most folks who transition after their teens can't, so they can be isolated and discriminated against. trans ppl who pass means they might actually DATE one! maybe i'm wrong, but i think ppl like you and Petras are their worst fear.
Love u. Some people will never understand. Alot of people forgetting majority of this country is still racist. We have miles to go for all human kind. ❤ it breaks my heart the ignorance everywhere.
I was having a kind of a mental breakdown the other day around my dad, which involved the idea that Indiana is destroying me, and I need to get out. I couldn't even tell him why? He asked me what I cannot do in this state that I can't do in another. Being in the closet made that question almost impossible to answer. I kind of feel that I won't be safe stopping anywhere other than Indianapolis, so effectively feel stuck at home here.
I can’t wait till I get older and am able to have kids because I want so badly to give another kid the best life they can possibly have I know parenting isn’t always easy and I don’t fault my parents for making so many mistakes but I still want more than anything to give my kids everything I never had whether they’re trans or cis or whatever else I want to make them happy and I don’t get how bigots see us saying stuff like this and have the audacity to get mad and call us crazy
I like to say I am am a nice easy going guy. Kind of quiet too but when I see people having a problem with or bullying different groups it pisses me off.
You know, i would tell you about how you can emulate Nintendo games and play them with a ps4 controller, but the Nintendo ninjas would get me, so I'm not gonna tell you that you can emulate Nintendo games and play them with a ps4 controller
I'm very happy to follow you on BlueSky. I'm gonna share this video with my followers cuz you can explain trans stuff better than I can even tho I'm also trans.
Hey Samantha! Loved the video and i just wanted to ask, have you seen there’s a trans character in squid game 2? I really like her, But i Would love to hear your perspective:)
I fully support everyone living life in their truest sense of self. Trans, nonbinary, cis, whatever you identify as i support. That being said i am completely ignorant to the potential effects (if any) to people taking hormone blockers at a younger age. I also think any kind of surgery (cosmetic or gender affirming) should wait until the person is 18. Tattoos, piercings, surgery are all required to be at the age of consent which is 18. But i will also admit again that im completely ignorant of trans youth under the age of 18
You can get piercings at incredibly young ages, even babies can get pierced ears. My first piercing was done at age 7. Tattoos can be done younger than 18 with parental consent. Minors can even drink alcohol in a lot of places if they have parental oversight (my state says that minors can drink at home with the direct supervision of their parent/guardian, for example). Parental consent is also the key to minors getting surgery. You have appendicitis and need your appendix surgically removed but you're 16? Your parent must sign a consent form for you to get that surgery. So, trans kids. Step one, social transition. This is just name changes, clothing changes, hair changes, pronoun changes, and therapy assistance. This is the primary way minors receive gender-affirming care. Step two, when they are teens usually, are puberty blockers. This medication has been approved and in use since the 1970s. There are no side effects to worry about that haven't already been accounted for in the more than FIFTY YEARS it's been around. Puberty blockers simply delay the effects of puberty so long as they are taken. Once the person either hits the age where natural puberty should begin and stops taking them, thus going through a natural puberty at an appropriate time, or the person decides to proceed with a hormone supplement regime and stops taking the blockers to go through a supplemented hormone-assisted puberty, a person then lives the rest of their life with no ill effects from the time they took puberty blockers. This is just the science of the matter. Most trans people do end up starting HRT and pursuing surgical options when they are 18+. The gender-affirming care that most minors need, which is social transition support and puberty blockers, have no lasting physical effects. HOWEVER, as Sam mentions explicitly, there needs to be room for minors to receive surgical assistance. Which SHOULD just be an extension of existing surgical procedures in my opinion, where doctors agree that this is the best medical option for the child, the parents are 100% supportive of their child receiving the scientifically optimal care, and so the parents sign off on surgical options. Because that's what gender-affirming surgery is; the objectively best option to treat people.
I mean puberty blockers were designed to be used on people at younger ages? That's what they were initially for. To prevent precoscious puberty in young children. They have been tested and deemed safe for literal decades before doctors thought to use them on trans kids as well.
honestly, I have only just heard of you from the algorithm, but I could barely tell you were trans if you didn't put it anywhere in the title or something! you're doing good!
Merry Christmas Samantha I hope you've had a wonderful time during Christmas and I hope you have a great New Years also. I myself left Twitter and am on Bluesky can't be apart of anything Elon Musk owns. I've been following your channel for a couple years now you always make great videos covering everything thats going on in todays world. Keep fighting never give up.
OMG Samantha I'm so glad I found your channel again you was my fav RUclipsr back in the day. You really helped me going through my realisation in finding my true self. Im Agender thank you so much for being here through every step in finding my true self I love you so much ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
4:00 Yeah but it's not licensed directly to Rowling, you are talking about a very very small percentage that she makes off of it in terms of royalties. Most of the money goes to the platform or the developer, not to mention they literally put a trans character in the game to troll JK. It's just a game, if we let it be more than that it's because we gave her more power. I refused to let transphobia stop me from enjoying a franchise my generation grew up with as small children. Let her make her little money, the way we're going about it now, she gets free marketing off of our community.
Just because Hogwarts Legacy has a trans character in it doesn't mean the game or J.K is suddenly above criticism. The way I see it, the inclusion of the Trans character is a way of J.K saying "Hey look guys, here is a trans character to distract you, I TOTALLY did not say anything transphobic!" It's like if the KKK included a black person in their meetings to seem 'not racist' (bit of an extreme example but I think you get my point.) I never bought Hogwarts legacy out of principle cuz J.K is still getting money (and I find Harry Potter to be overrated anyways), and while I can't stop anyone from buying the game, I have the right to call them out and question their ethics.
Love your videos and i was doing a presentation in Japanese Anime and Manga (yes its a real college class i got to take) i did one on how coming out as non-binary is more complex in Japan compared to the US. I will point out in the meme at 10:02 the person who made that meme does not fully understand while Tasatrone can help with muscle mass, taking too much can do the opposite and most of the time, young cis males who have trouble with puberty they get steroids (mostly T) to help them with puberty. which is ironic since that is a hormone therapy treatment. that pictures looks like they took steriods or a person who likes big muscles (nothing wrong with that).
I don't think it's bad to enjoy Harry Potter related stuff. There are a lot of people, who work on thos games, that don't agree with JKR. Also she is so rich, it doesn't make a difference to her if the game does well or not
My former aunt (well, former foster daughter of my Gramma) has recently "decided" (I hate using that word but I don't know how else to say it) that "she" is now my uncle(well, Gramma's foster son). We're all not sure if he's "for real" or if that's just an attempt to get a new start, start a new life with a new name etc and leave all the trauma he got from his biological family behind him, but either way, we completely support him. We accept his new name (though, ironically, he chose a name we associate with girls because Luca is a unisex name and none of us ever knew a boy or man named Luca but my twin and I have two female friends named Luca😅), we call him "he/him", we even got all the neccessary steps ready to maybe get him hormone blockers (I don't know what the protocol is in other countries, but it is rather complicated in Germany. He needs two doctor's approvals, completely seperate feom one another, and he has to have at least a year of psychological therapy to determine if he's for real. If two doctors and the psychologist sign on, there are some more steps involved I honestly have no idea about) and his classmates are being really cool about it. Sadly, here comes the big but: We live in a rather religious area, and most of those who don't condemn people who are different based on religion, do so based on being stuck up and set in their ways, that is in fact to the degree of several incidences of physical assaults because I dared being in public holding my girlfriend's hand. Now imagine how they react to a 13 year old (though he looks a lot younger) "girl" going by a boy's name, trying to look like a boy and using "he/him". (To be fair, "she" was never exactly feminine. "She" was the only one at her baptism wearing pants and a shirt😅 Never played with all the "girly" stuff, and so on)
4:17 actually silvervale, pikame (was harrased until she left the internet for playing hogwarts legacy even though she only announced she was going to play it.) got harrassed just for playing hogwarts legacy. hate campaigns, doxxing, calling employers, advertisers. and many others got harrassed for playing it. so yeah so called trans allies bullied and harassed streamers. it was disgusting the amount of vitreol was spewed.
If you'd ever become a parent one day just wanna say I think you'd be a great mom as far as support goes. You'd be accepting and able to explain and understand your kids on a personal level, having been there yourself! We need supportive people like you! I like Harry Potter. I play Hogwarts Legacy. But I hate and do not support JK Rowling. You're allowed to do both. I'm ex-Christian, but I own a Bible. It's a book. I like books. Plus, it's an Inclusive Bible, so I'm curious what it has in it.
I will never buy and play Hogwarts Legacy out of principle cuz I don't want to give money to that TERF. But I'm glad you are not blind to J.K's bigotry like some people.
I'm going to admit that I own the game, but it was a gift, so no choice in the matter, but when I do come out, they better be more thoughtful in gift giving. Even though I've typically hated gift cards, I think I'll just ask for something like a Sephora gift card after coming out, and it's safe for me to mention such things.
Now correct me if I'm wrong, but the Hogwarts game had many people involved, including trans people. So yes, JK will probably get some royalty cut, but you will also be supporting companies that don't discriminate against trans people.
@Deathsoul56753lol so we’re just making things up? Where did you read that? Literally no where has anyone confirmed that and it has been discredited over and over again.
@Deathsoul56753 Imane Khelif may or may not be intersex, but thats besides the point, her country defines her as female. Edit: If she had male parts she wouldn't identify as a woman strictly to appease her countries laws now would she? She would be forced to identify as a man. But she is definitely not trans, why? She is algerian, look up how harsh their laws are against trans people. Trans people can't even be out nor even dream of transitioning.
I will never buy the game on principle. Also just becuase the game has Trans character does not mean J.K or the game is above critisism. Call me cynical, but I see the inclusion of a trans character as distraction of sorts so J.K can be like "Hey look, I have a trans character is this game, I am TOTALLY not bigoted!"
A phobia is an irrational fear or aversion, and while some of you absolutely are afraid of us queer people, the majority are just irrationally averse, which is still a phobia
@@Smokey_____Is that why you're double commenting and caps spamming? Because you're so secure? Hey, real quick go ahead and explain what the word hydrophobic means.
The actual joke is the least funniest people on earth why probably think fart and poop jokes are the highest form of humor... trying to school anybody about what is funny.
"Where are these supervillians, we got more important things to worry about like surviving" > moves onto rant about jkr. ahuh. sure. The comment didn't pop out of no-where. As someone who was paying attention, it was really bad and the game bent the knee beforehand (hence you never listen to them).

Hey Samantha! Loved the video and i just wanted to ask, have you seen there’s a trans character in squid game 2? I really like her, But i Would love to hear your perspective:)
you won’t believe this

Once the person either hits the age where natural puberty should begin and stops taking them, thus going through a natural puberty at an appropriate time, or the person decides to proceed with a hormone supplement regime and stops taking the blockers to go through a supplemented hormone-assisted puberty, a person then lives the rest of their life with no ill effects from the time they took puberty blockers. This is just the science of the matter.
Most trans people do end up starting HRT and pursuing surgical options when they are 18+. The gender-affirming care that most minors need, which is social transition support and puberty blockers, have no lasting physical effects. HOWEVER, as Sam mentions explicitly, there needs to be room for minors to receive surgical assistance. Which SHOULD just be an extension of existing surgical procedures in my opinion, where doctors agree that this is the best medical option for the child, the parents are 100% supportive of their child receiving the scientifically optimal care, and so the parents sign off on surgical options. Because that's what gender-affirming surgery is; the objectively best option to treat people.
So then... maybe leave it to the experts?
I mean puberty blockers were designed to be used on people at younger ages? That's what they were initially for. To prevent precoscious puberty in young children. They have been tested and deemed safe for literal decades before doctors thought to use them on trans kids as well.
There's not much point of taking blockers after 18, they are to delay puberty, and puberty is over by then
Uhmmmm I got a tattoo at 16 with parental consent. You’re just wrong.
This was so unhinged and I love it
Happy New Year Samantha and everybody 😊
Happy Holidays to you Samantha 💜🦄
I have a friend that got the hogwarts game but also donated to a trans / lgbt charity to help offset which I think was pretty cool
honestly, I have only just heard of you from the algorithm, but I could barely tell you were trans if you didn't put it anywhere in the title or something! you're doing good!
I love your hair!
Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Thank you for being you Samantha. ❤
Merry Christmas Samantha I hope you've had a wonderful time during Christmas and I hope you have a great New Years also. I myself left Twitter and am on Bluesky can't be apart of anything Elon Musk owns. I've been following your channel for a couple years now you always make great videos covering everything thats going on in todays world. Keep fighting never give up.
Merry Christmas 🎄and hoping your New Year🎉🎊✨ is as beautiful as you
I really appreciate your content.
If you wanna play the Harry Potter games, just illegally download them, simple as that! 😊
There’s also plenty of pro-trans and queer indie games available to download.
Ur eyelashes are so pretty!
You’re* and it’s a man lol 😂😂😂
Merry Christmas Love ❤️🫶🎄🎁
Thanks for the video.
OMG Samantha I'm so glad I found your channel again you was my fav RUclipsr back in the day. You really helped me going through my realisation in finding my true self. Im Agender thank you so much for being here through every step in finding my true self I love you so much ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

Yeah but it's not licensed directly to Rowling, you are talking about a very very small percentage that she makes off of it in terms of royalties. Most of the money goes to the platform or the developer, not to mention they literally put a trans character in the game to troll JK. It's just a game, if we let it be more than that it's because we gave her more power. I refused to let transphobia stop me from enjoying a franchise my generation grew up with as small children. Let her make her little money, the way we're going about it now, she gets free marketing off of our community.
Just because Hogwarts Legacy has a trans character in it doesn't mean the game or J.K is suddenly above criticism. The way I see it, the inclusion of the Trans character is a way of J.K saying "Hey look guys, here is a trans character to distract you, I TOTALLY did not say anything transphobic!"
It's like if the KKK included a black person in their meetings to seem 'not racist' (bit of an extreme example but I think you get my point.)
I never bought Hogwarts legacy out of principle cuz J.K is still getting money (and I find Harry Potter to be overrated anyways), and while I can't stop anyone from buying the game, I have the right to call them out and question their ethics.
Merry Xmas!
Hope you had a happy holidays!❤️.
Your hair is great.
oh shit hell yeah i want to check it and find out.
Love your videos and i was doing a presentation in Japanese Anime and Manga (yes its a real college class i got to take) i did one on how coming out as non-binary is more complex in Japan compared to the US. I will point out in the meme at 10:02 the person who made that meme does not fully understand while Tasatrone can help with muscle mass, taking too much can do the opposite and most of the time, young cis males who have trouble with puberty they get steroids (mostly T) to help them with puberty. which is ironic since that is a hormone therapy treatment. that pictures looks like they took steriods or a person who likes big muscles (nothing wrong with that).
i can hear bubble bass' voice narrating these memes in my head
Leaving a comment for the algorithm
Samantha, you are beautiful on the inside (the outside, too, but I'm trying not to be creepy, as an old fart)
Never change!
Hi samantha you're so beautiful.
at the beggining of this year i thought i was cis, allo, and straight, but now at the end of this year, i have realized that i am none of those
Just an idea other content creators do, maybe start a reddit or discord and have your community submit memes. That'll give a you pool to choose from
Merry Christmas and happy hanukkah!!!
Merry Christmas if you celebrate it. But regardless have a good day 😊
Hope you had a great Christmas Beautiful ❤
Merry belated Christmas
ah yes let's just ignore all the bullying and doxing that happened to streams when they played HL
❤😊 merry christmas
Love u Sam ❤
I don't think it's bad to enjoy Harry Potter related stuff. There are a lot of people, who work on thos games, that don't agree with JKR. Also she is so rich, it doesn't make a difference to her if the game does well or not
isnt spongebob gay ?
I hope you have a beautiful Christmas and an awesome 2025. You are a beautiful, intelligent. Love you and your beautiful channel
I love you Samantha
My former aunt (well, former foster daughter of my Gramma) has recently "decided" (I hate using that word but I don't know how else to say it) that "she" is now my uncle(well, Gramma's foster son). We're all not sure if he's "for real" or if that's just an attempt to get a new start, start a new life with a new name etc and leave all the trauma he got from his biological family behind him, but either way, we completely support him. We accept his new name (though, ironically, he chose a name we associate with girls because Luca is a unisex name and none of us ever knew a boy or man named Luca but my twin and I have two female friends named Luca😅), we call him "he/him", we even got all the neccessary steps ready to maybe get him hormone blockers (I don't know what the protocol is in other countries, but it is rather complicated in Germany. He needs two doctor's approvals, completely seperate feom one another, and he has to have at least a year of psychological therapy to determine if he's for real. If two doctors and the psychologist sign on, there are some more steps involved I honestly have no idea about) and his classmates are being really cool about it. Sadly, here comes the big but: We live in a rather religious area, and most of those who don't condemn people who are different based on religion, do so based on being stuck up and set in their ways, that is in fact to the degree of several incidences of physical assaults because I dared being in public holding my girlfriend's hand. Now imagine how they react to a 13 year old (though he looks a lot younger) "girl" going by a boy's name, trying to look like a boy and using "he/him". (To be fair, "she" was never exactly feminine. "She" was the only one at her baptism wearing pants and a shirt😅 Never played with all the "girly" stuff, and so on)
4:17 actually silvervale, pikame (was harrased until she left the internet for playing hogwarts legacy even though she only announced she was going to play it.) got harrassed just for playing hogwarts legacy. hate campaigns, doxxing, calling employers, advertisers. and many others got harrassed for playing it. so yeah so called trans allies bullied and harassed streamers. it was disgusting the amount of vitreol was spewed.
That's the thing it wasn't even trans people it was "allies" who did all that
Please do a reaction to squid games season 2
aaagh, she's so pretty... 😭
your face changed
I suspect he's spent at least 50k on surgeries for his wrong-sex mimicry.
You're so sweet Samantha :3✨🖤
You are such an icon girl 🔥🔥🔥🔥
AAAA I SO EARLY
If you'd ever become a parent one day just wanna say I think you'd be a great mom as far as support goes. You'd be accepting and able to explain and understand your kids on a personal level, having been there yourself! We need supportive people like you!
I like Harry Potter. I play Hogwarts Legacy. But I hate and do not support JK Rowling. You're allowed to do both. I'm ex-Christian, but I own a Bible. It's a book. I like books. Plus, it's an Inclusive Bible, so I'm curious what it has in it.
I will never buy and play Hogwarts Legacy out of principle cuz I don't want to give money to that TERF. But I'm glad you are not blind to J.K's bigotry like some people.
I'm going to admit that I own the game, but it was a gift, so no choice in the matter, but when I do come out, they better be more thoughtful in gift giving. Even though I've typically hated gift cards, I think I'll just ask for something like a Sephora gift card after coming out, and it's safe for me to mention such things.
❤😊😊😊😊
Now correct me if I'm wrong, but the Hogwarts game had many people involved, including trans people. So yes, JK will probably get some royalty cut, but you will also be supporting companies that don't discriminate against trans people.
translation: the boycott failed so we're gonna pretend it was our idea to support them after all
jk literally did nothing wrong, she just got so much hate because harry potter nerds are also chronically online twitter defenders
@Deathsoul56753lol so we’re just making things up? Where did you read that? Literally no where has anyone confirmed that and it has been discredited over and over again.
@Deathsoul56753
Imane Khelif may or may not be intersex, but thats besides the point, her country defines her as female. Edit: If she had male parts she wouldn't identify as a woman strictly to appease her countries laws now would she? She would be forced to identify as a man.
But she is definitely not trans, why? She is algerian, look up how harsh their laws are against trans people.
Trans people can't even be out nor even dream of transitioning.
I will never buy the game on principle. Also just becuase the game has Trans character does not mean J.K or the game is above critisism. Call me cynical, but I see the inclusion of a trans character as distraction of sorts so J.K can be like "Hey look, I have a trans character is this game, I am TOTALLY not bigoted!"
quite a minute.. fuck if that doesn't show the state of American english.
This look ain't it.
Rude
Nobody is afraid! The way you throw the word phobia around is hilarious.
you forgot how to google meanings of words.
A phobia is an irrational fear or aversion, and while some of you absolutely are afraid of us queer people, the majority are just irrationally averse, which is still a phobia
LIKE IM SCARED OF A MAN IN A DRESS LOL WHOS SCARED OF GAY PEOPLE SERIOUSLY ITS A JOKE YOUR A JOKE
Phobia means fear trust no one’s fearing you 😂😂😂😂 funny you think so
@@Smokey_____Is that why you're double commenting and caps spamming? Because you're so secure?
Hey, real quick go ahead and explain what the word hydrophobic means.
Cool story dude
I'm a little late for merry christmas, but happy new year❤
Chill, dude. They're just jokes.
Did you watch the video?
She was very chill lmao
The actual joke is the least funniest people on earth why probably think fart and poop jokes are the highest form of humor... trying to school anybody about what is funny.
@@kiwisoup😂 like that one p drinker shaming people's food tastes.
@@cielo.flores96 They clearly didn't, because there was no dude in the video.
"Where are these supervillians, we got more important things to worry about like surviving"
> moves onto rant about jkr.
ahuh. sure. The comment didn't pop out of no-where. As someone who was paying attention, it was really bad and the game bent the knee beforehand (hence you never listen to them).
