I find it curious that homophobes spend more time thinking and talking about gay sex than gay people do.
It's definitely weird. My husband and I laugh at these idiots.
I wish I thought about men more than them😔

It’s because they’re gay
To me it’s because they see sex as for procreation and can’t see sex as something that can be for pleasure or fun that’s why it baffles them
F him for taking Knights Watch. George R.R. Martin writes gay characters. George R.R. Martin was asked why he included gay characters in his books, He said, "I noticed there were gay people in the world, so they should be in my world too."
For the few homophobic ASOIAF fans I've interacted with, it seems like they're fine with the way gay characters are represented in the series because their gayness isn't "a focus" the story. They're okay with gay people as long as we stay quiet, in the background and suffer in silence in a homophobic society and that's what ASOIAF portrays for the most part. As long as being gay is a joke and seen as perverted and immoral these people are a-okay with portrayals of gay people. They have no empathy.
@@boianko I don't think Martin portrays gays that way. They are princes. And literally one of the deadliest fighters in the book series. The viper died really quickly though. I don't remember Martin playing them for jokes. I haven't read them in years though.
@@antarchy1 I'm not saying Martin portrays them like that necessarily, the gay characters in the books are powerful, influential and driven. However when it comes to their sexuality, they need to hide and talk in allegory. Renly marries a woman he clearly isn't attracted to because he could never achieve his political goals if he came out as gay. Jon Connington has to hide his feelings his whole life and even after the death of his one true love because they would never be accepted. The world is hetero normative for the most part (Dorne is an exception) and gays aren't allowed to exist out and about in public society unless they burry that part of themselves deep down.
I don't think it's a bad thing to write the world that way, it's realistic, and I don't think George is portraying homophobia as a good thing. The people who already have homophobic ideas read about this homophobic world and think "oh wow, that's so cool", the same way sexist ASOIAF fans appreciate the realistic portrayal of how women were treated in the olden days. They don't empathise with the plights of these characters, they see them as people who either got unlucky in the way they were born and need to suck it up, or as people who annoyingly struggle against a system that rightfully tries to put them in their place.
@@boianko Isn't that more him writing about political intrigue in a medieval setting. It's good Drama and it's realistic to the way those societies were. I don't think it was a conscious choice on his part. It just fits the world and story. But I haven't read them in at least 10 years. So I barely remember anything about it, and I wouldn't have been dissecting the way he wrote gay characters back then.
@@boiankoI am honestly always baffled by those kinds of people, the whole point of ASOIF is that its world is AWFUL in almost every societal way imaginable, George's writing is about pointing out every flaw possible about those societies and our own. Sure, it's realistic within the boundaries of a fictional effing world, so by agreeing on how those characters are treated, you are actually doing what the story is criticizing, it's never portrayed as how thing should be. I am honestly surprised these people enjoy something they don't understand, it's media illiteracy at its peak
Shad: "gayness is not natural"
Also Shad: *wears glasses*
I always hate when people use this comparison. Glasses are a Human invention made to fix one of our faults, much like light bulbs fix our bad nightvision, clothes fix our lack of fur-covered bodies, and dental care fixes the fact we often outlive our own teeth.
Now let me ask you, what problem does being gay fix?
Can't think of one? That's because "gay = glasses b/c both are unnatural" is a stupid comparison. These two things have nothing in common.

@@vervetwrydavigy3006 This is not a debate, being able to express your sexuality without being persecuted for it is something straight people take for granted.
He actually says that we're different from animals because we know right and wrong, so we can know homosexual sex is immoral. Well, dolt, it's not immoral. There has to be harm or a violation to be immoral. Two consenting adults having loving relations with each other, regardless of sex or gender, is categorically not immoral. The only reason people think it might be is because ancient and irrational social taboos told them it was.
Morality is subjective to different cultures. You gave your definition of what is moral, but a deeply religious person would probably define it differently, along the lines of "what God (any god really) deems right or wrong". He is a mormon, did you really expect him to be a fan of gay people?
Right, wrong, moral or immoral are all subjective and contextual words. You cannot give them a definition set in stone, we can mosty come to an agreement to what we collectively think they mean, but it will never be a universally shared vision.
@@giulioceresini1435morality absolutely can be objective.
There are certain things that, logically and objectively are and are not moral, taking aside any belief in the mandates of imaginary mythological deities.
There are many health risks for M.O.M. sex. Haven't you looked them up?
@@WhatsTheTakeaway eating fast food has health risks, and yet, you are not trying to imprison people for eating mcdonalds
@actualgoblin "Imprison people," lol. I never said anything like that, nor do I believe it. What a wild imagination you have.
The OP said there has to be harm for homosexuality to be immoral. There is harm in homosexuality. Therefore, it is immoral.
And yes, people probably shouldn't indulge in fast food.
His use of "critical thinking" is amusing because he's an excellent example of someone who doesn't apply it.
Well, he also argued against the whole archery community that they used a specific kind of draw in medieval archery and he based it on paintings while having historians all around tell him he is not right in his assumptions.
@@MrAreallycoolname Exactly, that's like the opposite of critical thinking. Critical Thinking often literally involves looking at what the experts say, considering each point of view and then making decisions based on nothing but fact. The only reason anyone would ignore people who actually know what they're talking about is to gratify their own feeling that that they know better.
I do a bit of medieval archery. Specifically I shoot an English longbow. I like to keep it as medieval as possible too. I saw that video and he is full of shit. He even makes the bold claim that he is doing “experimental archaeology”. He is neither an archaeologist nor a historian. He is a LARPer, and he is very incorrect. Those manuscripts were drawn incorrectly. But he thinks he’s discovered something that has already been tested and debunked.
@@eddiev3052 I've been practicing archery for 17 years now and am well aware of his BS.
I dont know that much about HEMA, so I believed him there when he came up with something. What i do know is archery, and thats the point i came to realize he's probably full of shit concerning swords and other weapons aswell.
Same shit with Lars Andersen, a few years ago he had his time in the spotlight and people kept arguing that he's the only real archer with his trickshot BS.
@@MrAreallycoolname as far as i know even hema people think he's full of shit a lot of the time.
I remember a time when Shad would test fun things, like firing a bow/arrow while standing on a tree bough, or throwing an axe with a rope tied to the handle for easily retrieving the axe.
You know, stuff we see in movies and it was fun watching him test it out.
Oh, I remember when he and some friends tried to float in barrels like the dwarves in The Hobbit.
Those days he was fun and thought provoking, poking fun at movies and games, and didn't get political.
In the last couple years he's become increasingly a conservative douchebag hater who Dunning-Kruegered himself into thinking Shadiversity was the perfect vehicle to own the libs by teaching us how to hate and fear things like he does.
If ever a good channel jumped the shark into a black hole of awfulness, Shadiversity is one of the best examples I can think of.
If you want bow content and comparing to how it is in movies/fantasy, blumineck is a great channel. He's a mix of archery, D&D, and pole dancing.
Right wingers "debunking" everything and talking as if everything outside of their bubble is a competing faith is just baffling to me.
"Do you believe in the concept of rain? But why? How can you be a follower of both God AND the water-from-the-sky religion?"
Shadiversity used to be a good youtuber and he taught me a lot about swords and castles but as a member of the gay and trans/non-binary communities i feel kinda betrayed i used to like his content but now i say that shad should go give a handshake to a box jellyfish
Isn't it horrible when someone you admire does something that makes you feel betrayed. The good thing is that he was always like this but now you know and don't need to be fooled any longer so if anything it's a positive tonnage that knowledge
"Hold on, this whole naturalistic argument was your idea."
"You'd never see an animal mating with another animal of the same sex! It's unnatural!"
*Provides evidence of gay animals*
"Well, Humans can't just go about doing everything animals do, now can we?"
It's not just shifting goalposts. They're literally pretending they were the other side all along after they lose.

Literally had it run on mute for a few minutes as even through the filter of a reaction I could not stand shadiversity without physically cringing.
Humans pop out half baked potatoes that can cry, mostly one at a time and it takes forever for them to reach a stage where they can survive independently, having additional adults that aren't focused on their own offspring and can instead contribute to the group or take in orphaned children is an evolutionary advantage for the group, improving the survival chances of nieces and nephews still allows your genes to be passed on.
exactly. if every single person was having children, nobody would have enough spare time to do anything else. not to mention you'd be absolutely drowning in babies.
@@manboy4720 Child mortality would go trough the roof because it would have been impossible to meet the need or every kids if there are two many.
Even as adults, we still need help from others to take care of us so we can care for them. Imagine being alone in a forest without anything other than your healthy fed and hydrated body.
ONE SICKNESS and your chances to survive is super low or you're handicapped for a long time leading to more troubles and starting a spiral. You would need to start a fire, find food and animals to get pelt from. All this takes so much time and energy for one person that it's basically impossible. You sprained your ankle ? Too bad, you have to continue hunting and gathering.
Also hunting is super risky because you won't be able to get yourself fixed up or at least get back to your encampment if ever injured in any major survivable way.
We're so bad at starting from literally nothing.
And even if equipped beforehand, it's still really tough.
Our biggest strengths are also our biggest weaknesses and those are our intelligence combined with community. Without people, we're doomed.
Dude. This is such an interesting development in evolution. When I heard it, it made so much sense. My gay and asexual uncles took such good care of us. They helped my Mom through so much crap after my Dad left. It’s genius!
That argument bears one issue: Freedom of choice. You don't have to be homosexual to elect not to have children.
Jazza! Come pick your brother, he's at it again!
I don't think he wants to though.
@@CaptainWelshieand I don’t blame him
Who's Jazza?
@@arx3516 Shad more successful brother. Who is an accomplished artist, you can imagine his stance on ai art
@@ignatius929Jazza has a pretty healthy take on AI art imo. He sees it as a helpful tool when used correctly (namely getting references) but should never be relied upon.
From some of what I've seen I think Shad thinks the outrage content is real and doesn't understand it's a grift (for the most part)
and that's why he doesn't quite understand how to make the fake outrage content.
Like your not supposed to drink the coolaid yourself, but why am I giving advice ?!
Great job shad, you really got this keep going.
Shad should've just stuck to the sword content, but the brainrot took hold
I think he burned too many bridges for that to be viable. That, and it becomes abundantly clear that Shad does not know anything about Sword fighting when you see him side by side with a guy like Skallagrim or David from SellSword Arts.
I think this decline was inevitable just because of who Shad is a person.
What does he think humans are? Plants? Rocks? Fungi?... lol, nah we're definitely animals...
Maybe he is a plant after all... that would explain why he can't remember what argument the right was using a few years ago...
Mormons believe that would souls are the spirit children of this world's God and his many wives. Our souls are of divine origin compared to animals in their doctrine.
@@hoathanatos6179 "Our Souls". Depending on the accent, that was an unfortunate turn of phrase.
@@hoathanatos6179 I mean they also believe that black people are black as a punishment from God, so don't rely on them for much rational and empathetic thought lol
Just a correction. Shadiversity is still being run. The Knights Watch channel is a channel for him and his friends to discuss pop culture, movies and other topics.
The main channel is still uploading videos. He's also uploaded a video at one point discussing the decline in views on his channel (do with it what you will).
But saying he has stopped his old channel and started a new channel is factually wrong. :)
Speaking of Alligators: Did you know homosexual sex in Alligators is documented as happening more often than heterosexual sex
Man the chemicals in the water went from frogs to alligators
My gfs bisexual and lives in Utah, the heart of mormonism, Its a hilarious thing to witness
13:02 to add to your point. There is literally a species of moth that has no mouth. They immediately, after their cocoon, look for a mate and then die of starvation. Kinda sad and fcking up what evolution did
I think he has had Knights Watch for a few years now, i remember him promoting it during one of his videos. I saw it was the usual culture war channel and kinda just ignored it since i really liked the guy at the time.
Also i remember seeing a post on his reddit about someone saying they dont know how to feel about him being one of those people after discovering that channel, his fans mostly just told them to not watch if they dont like and as long it doesnt affect the main channel they dont care, now that aged like milk lmao
I think the AI stuff was just the nail in the coffin. Speaking as a part of his former audience, I think he lost most it when he stopped just talking about medieval weapons and fighting and started supporting far right nutbags and spouting their nonsense.
Shad, buddy, the whole "atheist vs creationist" era of RUclips happened like 15 years ago.
To me this was so shocking because of how supportive his brother is of the LGBT community and i guess i just assumed that they had similar viewpoints.
Ah yes, the Shroedinger's Nature, gay bad because unnatural, but if natural then how is it good if eating own babies is also natural?
Almost like the whole thing was much more nuanced all along.
I hate it so much. I used to watch his channel back when his content was centered about cool things, but the moment he started doing political stuff and inputting his worldview into his videos... I just can't take him anymore. Hate when that happens, unfortunately many creators go that route.
10:45 there *are* some indications of what being gay does in a survival context, depending on the animals. Penguins, for example - having a small proportion of homosexual partners in a population means that there are some number of mated pairs that don’t have children. And this is useful, because many species of penguin practice adoption. Getting food from antarctic waters is really dangerous - much like other survival behaviours - and so when parents die their children will be left behind. Then, these stable but non-child-producing couples are available to take in the children that are orphaned. If not for them, these children would likely be abandoned and the energy and care that went into raising them would go to waste
Homosexuality is thought to be common to social species for reasons like this - it is evolutionarily advantageous to broaden social dynamics beyond just family units if you seek strength in numbers, and some species seem to have gayness as a load-bearing component of this initial social fabric. It is, however, less clear what homosexuality does for more solitary species, or ones that don’t use family units as a building block. It’s possible they inherited it from social creatures further back in time, but that explanation is unlikely to account for all of them.
One hypothesis for how homosexuality can be selected for in nature involves inclusive fitness. To over simplify, it suggests that since gay people don’t have biological children (historically at least) they would be able to invest more resources into the children of their relatives (nieces and nephews for example). These children are genetic relatives of the gay person meaning that they are actually furthering their own genes in a roundabout way, meaning that over time there is a chance that this behavior will persist in a social species (like humans)
damn i was wondering how long he'd take to abandon the historytube pretext and just openly start doing chudtube (i havent paid attention for years)
This is coming from the same guy that thought Elden Ring was "objectively bad" simply because he didnt have an ounce of critical thinking for the plot
wow even REGARDING them as equal is wrong. Because gay.
What if you just treated them as humans, like you do other humans?
Modern crocodilians have actually only been around since the Late Cretaceous, though various pseudosuchian lineages (croc-line archosaurs) have been converging on the same body plan for much longer, at least since the Triassic.
A small nitpick with this video. While we don't know the exact biochemical pathways and haven't isolated individual genes that are responsible for homosexuality, we do know for almost certain that sexual orientation is at least partly genetically influenced in some way. But there are other factors that can influence sexual orientation like uterine enviroments and prenatal hormone levels. We also do know of many neuroanatomical brain structures that influence one's sexual orientation such as the bed nucleus of the stria termalis, hypothalamic uncinate nucleus and others.
Edit: This is not to say that homosexuality cannot be passed on evolutionarily. There are plenty of ways genes can be present within individuals without being expressed, only to be expressed in later generations. This could include but is not limited to gene dominance, gene dormancy, epigenetics and polygenics (the last of which is certainly true in the case of sexual orientation).
For example, worker bees never reproduce, despite that, worker bees still exist. Worker bee genes are still present in the queen bee, even if they are not expressed in the queen. Hence worker bee genes are passed down evolutionarily without worker bees ever being the one to pass down those genes.
10:13 personally i'd go with pointing out phylogeny. Even a few hundred years ago, when just looking at all of the animals still around today, it was still obvious that there is a branching tree of life.

I had no idea he was like this. What a disappointment.
Development in the womb I've read has some interesting hypothesis on why people are gay
I used to subscribe to Shadiversity because I am into military history.
I then had to endure about a month of him talking about how RUclips had it in for him and he wasn’t getting the views.
I also had similar comments from other ‘similar’ channels (dungeon craft for example) but without the ‘woe is me’ angle.
I unsubscribed to shad.
Tbh, I just don’t think he is that good. He goes on and on and on about one point ad nauseam.
I don’t miss his content.
Something I want to add, we still have mountains of evidence for evolution even without a fossil record. From genetics to it being observed in both the wild and the lab. The fossil record is just a cherry on top.
This theory has been around for more then 2 and half centuries and we've gotten far more evidence then Charles Darwin had in his day.
Shad became hard to watch at the time of writing his book. I watched him for fantasy weapons and armor content, not for trying to proof he is better than any other youtubers.
Sadly that's been the standard pivot when you point out that homosexuality is indeed natural for at least a decade. "OH! Because animals do it you think people should do it?"
The same could be said for eating, or sleeping, or pissing.
@@VoxAstra-qk4jz Oh definitely. And as Xan said, no one is saying it's okay BECAUSE it's natural, they're pointing out that it's natural in response to bigots saying it's NOT natural.
@@foxxknight8847 like most of their arguments, it's just kind of silly when you actually look at it.
I think the main reason why his shift in content didn't work is that his channel started as a way to encourage people to look into real history, and it's way harder to convince someone who knows real history that conservatives are the good guys
Glad you’re back!
Lashing out at the gays especially during Pride Month is just the self-suppressing way of celecrating it.
This is a great example of why people should stay in their lane. Shad knows fuckall about anything outside of medieval history and fantasy. That's literally all he should talk about.
So awhile back, after Knight's Watch was created and him starting to express his conservative views he and a bunch of the other HEMA content types (Lindybeige, I think Matt Easton, a couple of others I don't remember off the top of my head) did an actual play RPG thing. The audio was effing terrible, but the first ten minutes was basically Shad, as DM, basically sexually abusing Lindy's character. That was pretty much it for me because you could tell it was making people uncomfortable, especially LB, and the fucking sophomoric glee Shad had over it convinced me he is one of those types of DMs/Players you see on RPG Horror Story channels and that was pretty much it for me.
These are the same people who then say we should also look to our ancient ancestors for dietary advice.
Being gay is nurturing and that helps the population grow in an evolutionary perspective.
Just wanted to chime in to say that I am fairly confident his "Knights Watch" channel was actually a secondary channel for this sort of thing even when he was more active, and a bit more "closeted" about his right wing views on his main channel.
I think what kind of threw him out into the open air was a combination of his own rising lunacy in the face of this western world wide "culture war" nonsense, combined with going heavy on AI, and getting called out for it. And we know that the easiest way to turn a run of the mill ranter into a raving full bore lunatic is to give them a "victim complex" so they can pretend to play martyr in the face of TRIGGERED LIBS for a bit. I think once he saw his main channel sort of collapse for a variety of reasons and probably saw that playing angry internet sword man who yells at pop culture was getting him some traction, off he goes.
As other people have said, it's sad because he was never a great youtuber mind, but I recall quite enjoying his earlier Shadiversity content. He seemed to have a genuine passion for it which showed, and I feel like in a better world he'd have used to to up his history game and maybe find a way through such facts and logic to disassociate from his more harmful mindsets. Alas...
Honestly it hurts seeing him doing this kind of stuff. I'm LDS (mormon) as well, and I liked his channel for the swords, midevil history, and so forth. Now seeing his content moving to more hurtful stuff and also less well-thought-out things, it really hurts. Seeing people who share hurtful things, but in the same foul stroke, end up also strengthening people's dislike for the religion with ill opinions, and using the religion as a defense for bigotry, when no doctrine supports that kind of hurt and hate. It's dissapointing, especially as I enjoyed his channel and am a member of the alphabet soup.
I thought that guy was just pissed off at wrong use of medieval weapon in cinema like wtf
RUclips didn’t kill his channel. Him grifting for AI was at least one contributing factor. Some of his misogyny was another. I didn’t realize he went further into his conservative leanings.
A guy is commenting on another guy on RUclips.
The discussion is over whether homosexuality and evolution is correct.
Nature is healing.
I’m glad for the memories Shad gave me in years past, but I’m also glad I unsubbed before he went outwardly batshit crazy.
It's sad and shocking to see Shad do this. I used to watch him a long while ago and enjoyed his videos and such. I haven't watched him since though and this is the first time I see his name since then and it's him speaking out against the lgbt community, which I am a part of. It's just sad and disappointing, really.
i swear to god i cant like a single youtuber
This is actually really sad. I loved his content and had no idea be turned out to be such a jerk.
I wouldn't say non-straight orientations are unnatural but they are out of the ordinary way of life as in it is counter productive to reproduction. 1/10 people do identify out of the ordinary orientation, since we don't know if it is genetic or not to have that we can't say if it will be a downward or upward trend but yeah...
The saddest thing about Shad is that underneath it all there is a man of genuine passion, an intellectual mind, and a loving family man
It all just becomes buried and bogged down by his vocal religious and political opinions. He's trapped himself in his own stunted world view.
I'd likely have stopped watching him if I didn't understand where it all comes from and can look past it to watch the things he makes I still enjoy. He is still doing some good content on Shadiversity like the Titan Sword Project and the steps building up to it. As for Knights Watch it.....exists.
Paleontologist here, great dunk on the anti-LGBGTIA+ and anti-evolution weirdos! Two things: humans having lots of genetic issues is due to the bottleneck ~1 ma where the human population dropped to about 1200 breeding individuals, so our genetic diversity is extremely limited (the two most distantly related chimps from the same family have more diverse genomes than the two most distantly related humans on Earth). The randomness is true in most cases, the selective events are not trait-dependent, they just favor some forms over others (generally for biomechanical or chemical reasons), but that does exclude all of the instances of sexual selection where it is clear that mating is non-random and individuals where exagerrated traits are more likely to breed.
My guy has stories on the bookshelves behind him with gay characters in them.
Iirc giraffes are also very gay, and I'm actually pretty glad. They're some of my fave animals
What the...? Last time I knew about the guy he was analyzing fantasy weapons, quite entertaining. He even made a video where he argues in favor of women being better than men in certain fighting disciplines.
This is a very unexpected and sad turn of events. I hope he's not too far off the deep end, not for his channel(s), but for his own sake.
RIP Shadiversity.
The rapid fall of Shad is so wild and sad. Sure, given his background, I expected that certain views were likely, but it's absolutely wild that he shifted from medieval weaponry and armor talk to, well, rage-bait nonsense.
But, also, he's Jazza's brother. Jazza is nothing like this. Additionally, thinking his entire community (medieval nerds and ren-fair fans) were likely to follow him into alt-right grift was an absurd misread of the fans he used to have.
I guess he is this conservative but I think a lot of content creators got lured in because they get a bump in views for this anti woke shit.
He is still doing medieval stuff and rather more weapon content than he used to.
Agreed. I used to be his fan, his comments section had many LGBTQ people and progressive. As soon as he dropped the rants about wokeness his views dipped, and the guy still haven't got a clue. Like, read the comments, and don't just read the complimentary ones, bro.
He always was open about being a religious mormon, perfectly fine, that's his life, and he managed to not have that be part of his content at least overtly for many years.
So sad to see him abandon the strategy that helped him reach a wide and varied community of accepting people, and instead try to go for a niche of hateful people.
Did not know he was jazzas brother wow. Real shame Shad turned out like this

@@BinaBeckerWhat's wrong with polygamy
They said you can't be gay because it doesn't help the species survive and yet Shad literally has chronic illness... Shads own existence disproves his point.
He has own children and his family line will continue. Unlike those whom will round their life and persona around perversions and will never have own family. Their family lines will die and nations that have lots of this happening will fall. Every nation that has ever gone to this level of degeneracy have fallen, history shows that. And me personally, I find it very refreshing that there are channels like Shads who doesnt push this obtrusive homo agenda everywhere.

A prime example of something that's natural and also horrifically bad is the gimpi-gimpi, a plant native to Australia that, when touched, has tiny needles that inject a neurotoxin that basically lights your nerves on fire. The pain is so agonizing that there're documented instances of horses accidentally brushing against the plant and then running off a cliff because of the pain. So the claim that "this is bad because it's unnatural" is profoundly idiotic
Of course it's native to Australia...
There's nothing more natural than being mauled by a Grizzly bear, doesn't sound really good tho

I used to watch Shadiversity regularly for his knight content. As someone working on a little historical fantasy comic, his research was pretty good and easy to digest, as far as I could tell. Turns out, he really doesn’t seem to know much about anything outside that specific subject. And as soon as he started talking about literally anything else, he fell off hard. Like, I’m a Christian too, but that doesn’t mean I have to pretend that evolution isn’t real or that being gay isn’t natural. That should just be common sense.
Even what he says about history can be dubious.
Yeah the historical stuff is also kinda meh ngl, not the best but let's be fair not the worst either , atleast a few years ago
hell i argue if you try to debunk evolution you might alienated even the anti woke/anti lgbtq people (who still had some common sense) from your sides the thing is evolution is why we can learn adapt and thrive in our planet without evolution and the fact our minds where giving by gods to be really smart we wouldn't survive we would just be a dominated animal that will be replace by another one in the next million years or so

@@Fade2GrayOGaverage right wing moment, it’s actually funny whenever media or content flips to the right… they lose their appeal and start to fail… it’s almost like advertisement from companies prefer to be more left centre to right centre oriented as that’s the most broad and appealing range to make ads for and around.
When content goes to far right it loses the appeal of advertising as they would rather not be associated with that, furthermore people don’t want to be exposed to more extreme beliefs for no good reason.
People go to certain creators for a certain thing, say a dota 2 creator they either like that creator or are searching for their content type and they prefer them or maybe they make the more niche content in that genre.
However, the moment that person starts exposing their more extreme beliefs when it has little or nothing to do with their content they will likely fall off as they alienate the wider audience.
One of their points was that "the animals aren't gay, they're just horny and cant find the opposite sex/get confused" or whatever, shockingly, this is dead wrong, theres been studies done on rams where some of the rams when given the choice of a sheep or a ram, they will always go for the other ram, and if i remember correctly i think it was giraffes that are like 50% gay and only are straight enough to not die out lol
That argument of theirs really only applies to species that are very "simple", those without good enough sensory ability and such they genuinely cant tell the difference....who arent any of the common examples talked about in this discourse, who yeah genuinely actually know fully what they are getting into, and basically only talked about by biologists.

Yeah, I know the points he was trying to make, but needs to brush up on evolution. Easy mistakes to make if it isn't a subject you study, but hurts a bit in a video trying to defend evolution.
It's cartoonishly stupid to look at sharks and crocodilians and go, "They never evolved!" Meanwhile, there are literally hundreds if not thousands of individual species under those categories, all of which evolved to thrive in their individual environments.
Yup not to mention the fossil record goes back before there were even vertebrates in the oceans, let along sharks and land animals.

but people forget just how ancient
let me put it this way
crocodiles are old but they are half the age of sharks

@@cryptidcaddy1449 house of the dragon will do things to a man.
It's called Kin Selection, btw. There are traits that don't help the individual pass on genes, but may help related individuals pass on genes, some of which they share. In this case, a social animal having non-breeding adults that are still able bodied and capable of gathering food is a huge evolutionary advantage for the group.
Biologists figured out Kin Selection before they even knew how genetics work.
Pointedly, it reduces in-group competition for resources. As long as there's enough replacement of breeding individuals, concentrating more support for fewer young is more effective at keeping those young alive. The logic becomes increasingly clear in smaller groups - if food is scarce, is it better to have meager gatherings split between clusters of cousins, leaving everyone hungry, or to have parents and aunts/uncles working together to feed one group of siblings enough to grow healthy for competition outside the family?
It also helps with the massive amount of effort it takes to raise human children, especially with the high rates of parental mortality back then. Human reproduction is about massive investment in few offspring, not throwing massive numbers into the wind to see how many survive.
I'd also like to point out that the evolutionary effort required to eliminate homosexuality would itself have far reaching consequences. Species don't actually have the ability to just selectively change their attributes at will. Changing a gene or two could lead to many other changes in addition to eliminating the possibility that some members will be gay. And since natural selection is the only method we really have for this, it makes sense that it stuck around.
I'm sure even the ancient Greeks and Chinese knew about kin selection. That's where both of these quotes from from:
"A society grows great when old men plant trees they know they will never sit" -- An old Greek proverb
"If you think in terms of a year, plant rice; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people." -- Confucius
Even in ancient societies, it was recognized that you can contribute to society far more than producing children. It's about helping other people and your community thrive.
Soldier andworker drones in eusocial insect colonies are probably the quintessential example of this.
I dunno if it's widely accepted bu I remember reading about a 'Gay Uncle' concept where basically having some members of your species around who don't reproduce is actually beneficial since they can then help look after the young of their siblings if they die prematurely. Since their genes are already mostly the same, this helps the trait pass down through generations.
I'm a teacher and I'm basically the "gay uncle" (gay niece, more accurately lmfao) for a whole bunch of rotating kids. I'll have no desire of reproducing even if I wasn't gay, I've done my part tenfold already.
People concerned with biological reproduction forget how much work and organization at a society level is required for us to maintain natality rates. "Gay" people certainly aren't a threat to human evolution and even might be a sign of a new socialadaptation that moves the responsibility of reproductive work OUT of the closed environment of thetraditional family, into a more efficient and healthy community based approach.
There have been studies indicating that to quote the findings
"female maternal relatives of gay men have more reproductive success than their counterparts who are related to heterosexuals."
It's like an evolutionary compensation mechanism that factors in gay people as part of the species.
But then there are thousands of books full of what Shad doesn't know about evolution so not surprised he wouldn't know.

I found Shad's channel & followed because I liked the content: Medieval history, fantasy, swords, board games, etc. I figured, I'm not an Anti-Theist anymore, I'll tolerate this guy being Mormon, it's not getting in the way...
It got in the way.
Felt this entirely too hard. I still catch myself getting a rise out of buzzwords only to step back, ask why, then remember "oh yeah I taught myself that". (I do this more with harmless religious stuff because I've been a "achtually" theist hater longer than a conservative).
"started thinking for myself" "went to progressive/femmenist side" Damm dude you sure do mental gymnastics in order to appear better but you are just another sheep who "thinks for himself" but truth is not that
This.
Exactly my experience lmao. I never accepted that he is a missionary for a literal cult, but I thought to myself "well, he isn't spreading propaganda in his videos, so that's not really a problem with the channel." Now we are here. It's so frustrating hearing his r***rded rant, because you can tell he has absolutely no understanding at all about this topic, constantly lies, and doesn't even understand his own position enough to make a single half decent argument.
Also, a side note: when the film said there are more than 11 million species on earth and his yes man said "surely there's more animals than that" I burst out into laughter. That's all you need to hear to get an idea of the quality you can expect from the rest of the video.
Some theist are a bit more reasonable (although I think it makes them more harmful but we can’t police belief so). Like Dr. Mary Schizer (don’t know how to spell her name), and Dr. Dan McClellan. These two are great scientists and scholar. Hell Dr. McClellan is probably one of the reason I’m an atheist.

@@StormCrownSr yeah. their family gatherings must be really awkward. I felt so bad when I watched them on a livestream playing some tabletop game at some convention and Shads "art ability" came up. Jazza did everything to be nice and not to try to offend him. yeah it was hard to watch.
So does Shad think that men have to actively choose not to want to have sex with other men?
Speaking as a cis-het man myself, that never seemed to come up for me.
Same.
From the way a lot of anti-gay men speak, women too, they say that they made a choice. Which implies they're somewhere on the spectrum of bi, which does range all the way from a step from het to a step from totally gay.
So, it sounds like their system they live under, their believes they are grown to, all this, it forces them to a position where they hate that part in themselves, and effectively project it onto all others, because they refuse to believe that being different on that scale (or many other scales) is normal, being the same is what they perceive as normal.
Everything's got to be very standard and singular without any variation, all things different are evil, scary, or otherwise untrustworthy (and they certainly couldn't be any more different than anyone else, thus all must have these feelings, and choose to actively pursue them, or deny them). They are the normal ones, so everyone else has to be wrong.

Thing is, in gregarious species like, say, *OURS,* the survival of the group is much more important than the survival of the individual, and homosexual members who don't reproduce often help taking care of the offspring of the ones that do, therefore making the community stronger than if *everyone* reproduced and stretched local resources thin.
Not only that. Siblings also exist, so even if homosexual members of the group don't directly pass on their genes. So long as they function as part of a family unit and help their siblings out then the genes they carry are indirectly passed along as well since their heterosexual siblings share many of the same genes.
Yes, but that kind of thinking requires both empathy and critical thinking. Abilities right wingers lack.
@@joendeo1890 some evolutionary psycologists have claimed that homosexuality is to some extent related to stress conditions in the mother durring pregnancy, so that means there is a bigger chance for homosexual offspring when ever the herd neds help to survive. It sounds like a sound theory.
@@joendeo1890 you can look at colonial species too. They served their colony with their life if needed. As long as the colony survive their genes is passed on.
@@joendeo1890 It's not just about the family unit...We used to live in groups larger than modern families for several 100,000's of years, moving around, hunting and gathering, and sleeping together in caves, etc.
The notion of a "nuclear family" (and strictly monogamous relationships), didn't come about until after the invention of agriculture, just a few thousand years ago.
We didn't have "bedrooms" - or even permanent homes to live in - until agriculture made it possible to stay at the same place your whole life.
Back then, when we were living in small groups, you couldn't be absolutely sure who fathered which children. So the nurturing was likely done by the group as a whole. In those circumstances, having 10-20% not procreate would be a great benefit for the groups survival.
As a gay I think a lot of shad audience was the nerdy dnd crowd , as a dnd nerd its a lot of gays at the table
Hi guys!
Gay Bio student popping in to say that they are actually starting to spot genetic differences between gay and straight men specifically. Nothing is really set in stone, of course, but they did find a cluster of about 30 genes highly corolated with homosexuality. What's funny is that those genes are basically always present and unlocked hormonally via epigenetics when in the womb. A current theory for this is something called kinship selection. Looking at factors that make men more likely to be homosexual (next male birth in succession is more likely and mothers stress/duress seems to make a boy more likely to be gay) its believed that they take on a general caretaker role unable to have children. And if im able to theoretically help my siblings produce more children through helping care for them rather than make my own, it becomes a beneficial reproductive strategy because there's more children in the next gen. And since my mother gave all of us our cluster of gay genes but only unlocked mine, all of my neices and nephews have those genes to continue the gay. Stunting parts of your bloodline also prevents overpopulation. Since we are a social species, it's easy to see us evolving biological fail safes to make sure we dont starve.
I think what I wanted to put as a takeaway is that homosexuality doesn't have to be some defect in the human species just because it doesn't directly aid human reproduction. The principles behind biology wrap, warp, twist, and turn in many weird ways, but all life "cares about" is making more of itself. It doesn't care how it does.
That makes perfect sense. Ive been saying homosexuality is likely a form of evolutionarily built in self population control for years so this being the mechanism behind it seems to check out with that theory perfectly.

Biologist here:
First of all, it can be an evolutionary disadvantage to have all adults breeding in a family or social group, as infant mortality can rise due to the high child-to-adult ratio and resources can become depleted. In these cases, non-breeding adults who participate in childcare strongly improve the fitness of the kids, on the whole making 'homosexual behavior' a win for the family and, by extension, the homosexual individuals own genes as well since their are bringing up siblings (50% similar genes), nieces and nephews (17% similar genes).
90% of giraffes mounting other giraffes is male on male, and they are seeming willing participants. This occurs even when there are females present.
Lions are not as high of stats, but show similar behavior.
First encounter of squid s*xual acts was both gay and interspecies, with the smaller species male topping the larger one.
We've known of penguin homosexuality since the 1900s, but the poor Christian scientists where so aghast and befuddled they covered up their research by writing their findings in Greek, making it primarily inaccessible to general society - potentially due to the risk of being ostracized as well, since they could be accused of making up random stuff in Antarctica to then come home and 'spread their filth' to general society.
Dolphins form pair bonds with the same sex, often between breeding seasons, and engage in s*xual behavior.
Many parrots have same-sex couples as a first choice, too. None of that is by any means due to absence of alternatives
Finally Bonobos shouldn't be held to human standards wrt p*do stuff. In their species it's normal and common, with youngs initiating things themselves a lot of them time. Further, they primarily participate in oral, both giving and receiving. In our species, a majority of cultures keep kids away from that sorta thing (side-eyes aspects of A. Greece real hard here) and kids rarely naturally engage in such stuff and form trauma around it. To Bonobos its an evolutionary adaptation, to humans it is not
Bonobos are an absolutely wonderful species and I will take no slander of them. Meerkats, however, a totally a different thing.

Their are the most homicidal little maniacs on the planet.

Humans swivel between 1-2% depending on where we are in history. The average propensity to murder in mammals is about 0.3%, so even humans are rather staggering. To top it off, it's primarily infanticide against another female's young in the social group.
