The fact that they recognize their prejudice and are making an effort to be more open minded and accepting of a concept they are unfamiliar with, is the first of many steps to korea becoming accepting of lgbtq people. I’m really impressed and proud with how they reacted and spoke in this video, this kind of content is great and i hope it can slowly change the minds of many more people not only in korea but around the world! 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
@@yuhzilia It’s actually getting a lot better though in Korea. Even though there’s a lot of people who don’t support LGBT, it’s really the older generations that have problems with it, a lot of the younger ones are more accepting. I think most people don’t actually care but because of prejudice and it being a taboo topic, they don’t talk about it. Once they do talk about it though they realize oh wow yeah it’s really not my business and they react like heejin did
What I like the most abt these shows is that even though there are gay characters, that's not the main plot. In she-ra for example, you have lesbian couples, gay couples, bisexual characters, trans and nonbinary characters too, but they never make a big deal out of it, that's just how it is. In kipo and the age of wonderbeasts too, it was actually the first time a character in a cartoon said "I'm gay" outloud, and kipo is only surprised and shocked bc she's embarrassed since she had confessed to him and had mistaken his friendliness for attraction, they hug each other and they go back to trying to save the world lol is very important that gay characters are incorporated into children's shows naturally and without making a big deal out of their identities, because that's how life is too
It's not an animation, but the Canadian series "Lost Girl" is the same! The main character is bi/queer and doesn't care about her partners' gender. Same with the other characters. It's never the main topic, it's just how they are. Like in real life. That's just how people are.
exactly, it's good to show that people shouldn't need to come out and that it's not a big deal, instead of stopping the whole plot to focus on a character or a couple just because of their sexuality, it's just a matter of treating us equally just like nobody goes around being surprised or making a big deal about someone being cishet
Exactly the case with series like My Little Pony and Craig of the Creek which I absolutely adore. It's so normalized and relaxed about representation. They don't make characters whose personalities are just their sexuality! I love that!

That is true. Love is love, its a freeform of emotion between someone and spite the different types of people they'll love they should accept it like even poland and russia is so conservative but in russia they hate gay men but lesbians? They fetishized it tbh. But kids in each country should listen but think about things and close their mind because kids and upcoming one will be the molding point of the future, they shouldn't listen all the time that they know what made something a big problem till now like not accepting lgbt, racism and more but sometimes instead doing that, those who are older pushes a belief especially hate and racism and some kids just sadly adapt it and mostly of them turn into IGNORANT BULLIES

As a lesbian this video made me so happy, and it’s amazing to see such open minded people from another country. Edit: hilarious update to this because I forgot I even made this comment: turns out I’m not even a girl so that aged poorly but my point still stands lol anyways gay and trans rights lol 🏳️⚧️ 🏳️🌈
No need to be a kid to enjoy animated shows or movie in general. I still watch disney,watched advenure times ,Gumball, spongebob and I'm 23 ,I have no shame about it ,sometimes I really need to laugh and have a good time alone and animated shows are the best
yeaaah, in certain states they "censored" ratburn's marriage by having him marry the character who was supposed to be his sister in the original episode 😬
as an lgbt+ kid, I really wish I had those cartoons in my childhood because, tbh, when I was a kid I was so lost I didn't even know that lgbt people existed and I felt like something was wrong with me and I'm slowly seeing the world becoming more and more open about these subjects and even make cartoons about it. and now I know that the future lgbt+ generation will not feel as lost as me because they are represented even in kid's shows, it makes me really happy for them :)
Same here, I’m glad there is representation now even if there wasn’t for me while I was growing up. I was no longer a kid when I watched it, but the new shera means a lot to me. It was the first time I saw such unapologetic representation and it made me incredibly happy.
same, i was completely ignorant, i had gay godfathers, and i thought they were brothers, i didn't even know being lgbt was a thing until i had a crush on a girl in seventh grade
Same! I didn't even understand why I would get so repulsed by the mere idea of being with the opposite sex. Seeing someone of the same sex kissing was too much of a shock that I hated the thought of it. If we just made people aware it exists it wouldn't come out as such a shock because it exists whether people like it or not
as someone in the LGBTQ+ community, i love that this is being more and more talked about in conservative countries. i’ve seen some BL dramas out of korea labeled as Rated-R but there’s barely any physical contact whatsoever. the thought that if someone sees a LGBTQ+ couple on TV that they’ll “become gay” is so wrong. you can’t “become” gay or straight, you just are. all of these people that grew up with just straight couples on TV or with straight parents and still are apart of the LGBTQ+ community is proof of that. it’s a personal thing not influenced by media or parents. like chacha said “if i watch a movie about a soldier does that mean i’m going to be a soldier? no.” that’s exactly the right thinking. thank you❤️❤️
@@a.b0wman457 so true... its only until i actually figured out that i was a lesbian and that its ok to be that i willingly started consuming wlw media (bc i could ACTUALLY relate to it)
right. I remember many chinese dramas that should be bl ended up just giving them some bromance (good friends) which is sad. but I can already see that the newer genrerations in these conservative countries are gonna be the ones to make a difference. I'm already seeing many queer couples/creators on douyin (chinese tiktok) with a lot of support and also ppl fighting back homophobic comments.
I love the fact that they're aware they might be closed minded, and that's impressive cause sometimes ego is getting in the way of things and we don't admit we have done or said something wrong or questioning
The “oh no, it’ll turn my child gay!” always hurt the most because of the implication that gay is something you wouldn’t want your child to be. It’s the same as saying, “It will make my child bad!” But being gay was never bad. If a cartoon made your child gay, they were already gay 😂 And being gay is beautiful.
she made such a good point when she said "i watch a cartoon about becoming a soldier, do i become a soldier?" in comparison to watching a cartoon about seeing a gay couple and becoming gay
I'm glad they're being shown and told about the reason why we Americans feel it is so important to talk about various sexualities and gender identities. Even though there is more LGBTQIA+ animations in the US, it doesn't mean it's easily accessed, so I'm glad there's more exposure being given. Also, as a Mexican-American bisexual genderfluid person, I'm glad that these girls are opening up their minds to this and understanding that although it can be hard to quickly change your mindset, it's awesome that they're really watching and reacting to more LGBTQIA+ content to understand better. I really appreciate this, and hope to see more in the future ^^
@@someoneyoudontknowtrades You can refer to it as LGBT, LGBTQ+, LGBTQIA+, or whatever you would like. Non of them are wrong. Some people just have different ways of saying it.
@@snail5500 I was homophobic 3 months ago, but damn i kinda was right they should make one name and stick with it, because i truly dont get if new genders are coming each month.
@@someoneyoudontknowtrades I mean, there aren't really new sexualities and genders coming out. There has always been multiple different ones. It seems like a lot, but some people learned to call it LGBT, LGBTQ+, or LGBTQIA+. It seems like a lot, but they all technically mean the same, so it's up to you choosing which one you use if that makes sense. (ik it sounds kinda confusing)
omg this made me cry especially when they showed arthur. i used to watched arthur a lot when i was a kid since kindergarten. now, recently identifying as pansexual, after denying who i truly am for years and seeing that scene where the teacher is getting married brings so much warmth to my heart !! i didn't know this episode existed. seeing one of my favorite cartoons growing up showing a gay couple and seeing them happy just gives me so much happiness and hope. this is why representation matters !!!
That applies to some people yes (usually bis and pans) but for others someone's gender does matter for the person when it comes to attraction. Lol this is why preferences and sexualities are a thing.
I absolutely love how they acknowledged their own prejudices and went into this with an open mind. They were all so sweet too!!😭😭 As a pan Korean, I really hope that the culture can become more accepting of the LGBT community. It’ll be tough, but we can get there!!
In A Heartbeat is so heartwarming, not to mention relatable. Whether you're straight or a member of the LGBTQ, we've ALL been in the curly-haired boy's shoes at some point or another
When it comes to koreans, women rarely disappoint us in these topics, they are always really open minded and a loooooooot more mature than men in korea
when i saw the title, I'll admit i was a little worried some of them wouldn't be supportive since korea is more conservative and closed minded than the states and some other countries, but it was really nice to see that all of them were so supportive and compare how things could be better
Wtf where does that impression of Korea come from? I’ll agree with you that it is relatively conservative culture, but so is practically the whole of Asia.
i hope that they might ask themselves, "if it was a straight couple kissing in a kids animation, would i also be as shocked?" to when chacha talked about the kissing in an animation meant for kids.
I find it interesting that they said it's more okay to be gay than lesbian in Korea. In the west, I see it as the opposite. Being lesbian is more accepted because lesbians are fetishized by men so much. But if a man is gay, it threatens straight men.
There's a lot of misogyny in that "accepting". As you said, lesbian couples suffer fetishizing, so basically they are seen as objects for men's desire, impling that the relationship between the couple isn't real or actually serious. I don't think that can really counts as being more accepted...
For me in Mexico this is still a big taboo, not as much as in other countries but it definitely is something view wrong by many mnay people... Growing up as a kid I always hated myself for liking girls, like I tought I was wrong and I was the obly one, then I remembered I watched "QUE pobres tan ricos" which is a Mexican telenovela (series) and they had a gay couple in it, I was like "is that okay?" and I felt really interested in the show, cause seeing homosexual couples was new and somehow it resonated in me, it was not until like 3 years ago I became proud of who I am and understood teherws nothing wrong, also Mexican shows are showing more variety in LGBT+ characters, only LGBT+ cause about other representation in media we are not close
I love this video. Any chance you could make a part two? I'm shocked that Steven Universe wasn't included. I also liked how the women admitted to struggling with their own prejudices and keeping an open mind. I know a lot of people who struggle with this as well, so it was nice to see 🥰. Love you guys.
I like how they said being gay is more accepted than being lesbian in Korea, cause over here in the U.S. it seems to be the opposite. Guys like to see that kind of thing I guess?
yeah, I especially hate the fact that some dude will get all pissy over a bl ship in america but legit the next second will recommend miss kobayashi’s dragon maid
Fetishisation isn't acceptance. Lesbians being seen through the male gaze and not being taken seriously because of that is the opposite side of the spectrum of dehumanisation. Gay man get pure hatred and rage, lesbians are seen as frivolous. Neither is acceptance. I don't mean to sound negative or preachy, like I'm angry with you or anything, but as a lesbian I find it frustrating that people accually believe that because men hypersexualise and trivialise us, it's somehow "acceptance".
@@rainboe_chile6256 I agree about the fetishization thing. I think what they meant was “more open to” than necessarily accepting respectfully, and unfortunately, a big reason western culture is more open to lesbian and bi women is because of their oversexualization :// there’s a notion that if two women mess around, it’s hot but “not serious”, while gay and bi men are immediately emasculated for even holding hands, it’s weird💀💀 I’m not sure why it is that Korean culture seems more accepting of mlm than wlw though, it’s really interesting especially as a wlw Korean. Maybe since skinship is more common??
1: In a Heartbeat is one of my most favorite shoet films out there 2: 6:00, sadly in America there are states that would fire a Gay, Lesbian, or Trans teacher in a (pun unattended) heartbeat if they found out about their sexuality *cough cough* Texas and Florida *cough*
The fact that they admit they're forced to be close minded but still being kind humans they do their best to understand and the get excited at the cute moments, it's wholesome to see them being aware of the fact that it's just love, and love isn't just one norm
Not an LGBTQ member or support but I love the way they accept them and respect them.. They're open minded and knows how to respect them, Unlike others I'm so glad this kind of humanity still exists, May God bless them ❤️
It is really good that they show these things to children, I have met many children and I include myself, confused because they liked the same gender and there was no guide or something that tells you is fine, i love in a homophobic house and I'm a lesbian so I was so confused
im korean and lgbt, and growing up in a korean household where my parents try to be accepting, they still tend to say things that are offensive and they dont realize it. they tend to deny the fact that some characters in shows can be lgbt, or call transgender people "cross dressers" or a man that wants to be a woman or a woman that wants to be a man, etc etc. and growing up like this and watching koreans get interviewed about how they feel about lgbt and getting negative responses a lot of the time, it always made me lose faith that my own people werent gonna be accepting of me. but this video really restores a lot of my lost faith and makes me feel hopeful
i love both of you. I am very thankfulful to Gays, Lesbians, LGBTQ because there are too many abandoned kids out there from straight couples & living on street with sadness condition. gays, lesbians, LGBT definitely help reduce the number of stray kids abandone kids.
I hope the girls are sharing their authentic opinions and not being filtered. I truly want to know if they have negative thoughts about these things WITHOUT them being canceled for how they think.
To people who say things like “these gay cartoons will make kids gay”- all I have to say is that I grew up watching nothing but straight cartoons, straight tv shows, straight movies, and only ever encountered straight couples in real life. Yet I still turned out gay. With their logic should I not have been turned straight?
For being “close minded” people, they’re very accepting and educated :) like they understood the prejudice against the community and with the reaction they were like “oh well that doesn’t really matter they’re just being themselves and that’s ok doesn’t bother me” and I love it
I was hoping for Sh-ra, but a tiny correction - it's not 'about' gender identities or sexual orientations, those are just elements of the characters. Good video! Maybe include Steven Universe and Adventure Time scenes in part 2? :D
me: * gets excited about in a heartbeat * me: *gets a little more excited for kipo * * catradora appears* me: *actually screams * i just screamed. like, i hope i didnt wake my dad from his nap.
As a person who has been watching BL as well as GL dramas for a few good years now... I can say that there is more Korean BLs (and hopefully Korean GLs) coming out now.
can you react to OnlyOneOf "LibidO" ? they're a kpop boyband with an LGBTQ concept in their LibidO MV ❤️ I'd like to see Koreans' response about them❤️
I'm a straight dude, but I could usually care less what other people do with their lives since it has nothing to do with me. However, my old sadistic 7 year old self revels in the chaos of watching the different sides battle in the ultimate duel of the internet's latest wars. Such entertainment!
Being honest even though I know the girls are very nice I was very anxious about them being closed minded but this took a turn for the best. Korea is still very conservative but Korea also is one of the fastest growing countries in the world, I have faith that things will change soon and LGBT+ people and queerness can be portrayed more favorably in media
I'll be living in South Korea for a year or two starting in September and being apart of the LGBT community, I am a little nervous but hopefully if I just mind my business everything will be okay!
My fave shows with more wlw in them. Korra, Dragon Prince, Shera, Steven Universe, Owl House, Adventure time, Ok K.O, Ivy and Harley Quinn, Sailor moon.
A few interesting facts about shera are that the woman in charge Noelle Stevenson is a lesbian and married to another woman who also worked on the show, they worked really hard for lgbt relationships to not be seen as weird as one of the characters had two dads and two other princesses were married, and the nonbinary character was also voice acted by a nonbinary person so it all around a super inclusive show that is great for all ages to watch!
Oh i love how they called themselves out like immediately if they felt they said anything wrong? That's so cool and important💗 also "if i watch a soldier movie do i become a soldier" is so good
I personally think that is so important to have LGBT+ representation in kid's cartoons, because that way, the kids will get to know that there is nothing wrong with being part of the community and no matter at what age they discover who they are they can manage to accept themselves much more easy than without representation. Att: a Bisexual that thought bisexuality was wrong and accepted they were bi 6 years after discovering who they were.
I adore this; I'm Pansexual and have been in relationships with men and women and happen to have found my life partner in a cis male. I made sure to expose my son to LGBTQ media as he has grown up and he's always delighted to see it represented in any media. Raising your children to be not only open minded and inclusive, but truly loving them for who they are and acknowledging that, honestly leads to compassionate, kind, caring and strong individuals. I loved to see everyone here reacting so positively...
I really liked the show Color Rush. The relationship between the two characters developed naturally and being in a romantic relationship wasn't the prime focus. They just ended up developing feelings for each other. I really liked that.
Even as an adult, I watched She-ra and the healing effect that show had on me was surprising. As a kid I had never seen that kind of representation for me to relate to in TV. The first time I was exposed to LGBT representation was at around 14 years old. So seeing Catradora become real was amazing, because it's not rare for two same gendered characters to be shipped together and have subtext, but it's quite rare for the shows to actually follow through on it. She Ra was one of those shows where we didn't know if Catradora would be real by the end or not, we knew that the writing was there and was hinting at it, on top of that the show creator is part of the LGBT community, but for all we knew the network could forbid it but thankfully, they didn't. Even if it took 5 seasons for it to happen only on the very last episode. It was worth the wait and a HUGE step in LGBT representation in kid's media.
was scrolling through tiktok when the notification popped out of nowhere and i came here since i really find them funny 😔 can you guys react to filipino singers or movies? Thanks!!♥️
6:30 i got really excited when i saw catradora cause i started watching short clips of those episodes a few months ago, and i think their dynamic is really good (im half korean btw lol)
As an Asian myself, I hope all the Asian countries would be open up to LGBTQ+ and support them. (Thailand is the only Asian country that supports LGBTQ+ people more equally compared to others as I've seen so far)
When chacha said "can I ship them now?" I felt that

If we just made people aware it exists it wouldn't come out as such a shock because it exists whether people like it or not
as someone in the LGBTQ+ community, i love that this is being more and more talked about in conservative countries. i’ve seen some BL dramas out of korea labeled as Rated-R but there’s barely any physical contact whatsoever. the thought that if someone sees a LGBTQ+ couple on TV that they’ll “become gay” is so wrong. you can’t “become” gay or straight, you just are. all of these people that grew up with just straight couples on TV or with straight parents and still are apart of the LGBTQ+ community is proof of that. it’s a personal thing not influenced by media or parents. like chacha said “if i watch a movie about a soldier does that mean i’m going to be a soldier? no.” that’s exactly the right thinking. thank you❤️❤️
Exactly! I've watched nothing but hetero-normative media all my life and I'm not straight😌💅
@@a.b0wman457 so true... its only until i actually figured out that i was a lesbian and that its ok to be that i willingly started consuming wlw media (bc i could ACTUALLY relate to it)
right. I remember many chinese dramas that should be bl ended up just giving them some bromance (good friends) which is sad. but I can already see that the newer genrerations in these conservative countries are gonna be the ones to make a difference. I'm already seeing many queer couples/creators on douyin (chinese tiktok) with a lot of support and also ppl fighting back homophobic comments.
Exactly because if gay is a choice why not them that straights try to suck it to a man?? See how it goes🤣🤌🏻
@@dibidibidii4898awesome❤
I love the fact that they're aware they might be closed minded, and that's impressive cause sometimes ego is getting in the way of things and we don't admit we have done or said something wrong or questioning
The “oh no, it’ll turn my child gay!” always hurt the most because of the implication that gay is something you wouldn’t want your child to be.
It’s the same as saying, “It will make my child bad!” But being gay was never bad.
If a cartoon made your child gay, they were already gay 😂 And being gay is beautiful.
let's appreciate chacha and MJ's entirely matching outfits
she made such a good point when she said "i watch a cartoon about becoming a soldier, do i become a soldier?" in comparison to watching a cartoon about seeing a gay couple and becoming gay
I'm glad they're being shown and told about the reason why we Americans feel it is so important to talk about various sexualities and gender identities. Even though there is more LGBTQIA+ animations in the US, it doesn't mean it's easily accessed, so I'm glad there's more exposure being given. Also, as a Mexican-American bisexual genderfluid person, I'm glad that these girls are opening up their minds to this and understanding that although it can be hard to quickly change your mindset, it's awesome that they're really watching and reacting to more LGBTQIA+ content to understand better. I really appreciate this, and hope to see more in the future ^^
@Estela Lopez heck yeah it's cool 🙏🏼😩‼️
So there is a new LGBT, please just choose lgbtqia+ and stay on it because it's getting harder to write.
@@someoneyoudontknowtrades You can refer to it as LGBT, LGBTQ+, LGBTQIA+, or whatever you would like. Non of them are wrong. Some people just have different ways of saying it.
@@snail5500 I was homophobic 3 months ago, but damn i kinda was right they should make one name and stick with it, because i truly dont get if new genders are coming each month.
@@someoneyoudontknowtrades I mean, there aren't really new sexualities and genders coming out. There has always been multiple different ones. It seems like a lot, but some people learned to call it LGBT, LGBTQ+, or LGBTQIA+. It seems like a lot, but they all technically mean the same, so it's up to you choosing which one you use if that makes sense. (ik it sounds kinda confusing)
omg this made me cry especially when they showed arthur. i used to watched arthur a lot when i was a kid since kindergarten. now, recently identifying as pansexual, after denying who i truly am for years and seeing that scene where the teacher is getting married brings so much warmth to my heart !! i didn't know this episode existed. seeing one of my favorite cartoons growing up showing a gay couple and seeing them happy just gives me so much happiness and hope. this is why representation matters !!!
love you
@Estela Lopez very funny, you clown
@Estela Lopez SWEET HOME ALABAMA
To quote one of the most popular LGBT series of all time:
"I didnt fall in love with people for their gender. I fell in love with the person."
That applies to some people yes (usually bis and pans) but for others someone's gender does matter for the person when it comes to attraction. Lol this is why preferences and sexualities are a thing.
I absolutely love how they acknowledged their own prejudices and went into this with an open mind. They were all so sweet too!!😭😭
As a pan Korean, I really hope that the culture can become more accepting of the LGBT community. It’ll be tough, but we can get there!!
"The kiss is deeper than my thoughs" LMAOOOO
In A Heartbeat is so heartwarming, not to mention relatable.
Whether you're straight or a member of the LGBTQ, we've ALL been in the curly-haired boy's shoes at some point or another
As an person apart of the lgbtq+ community this makes me insanely happy
When it comes to koreans, women rarely disappoint us in these topics, they are always really open minded and a loooooooot more mature than men in korea
As soon as I saw she-ra I clicked
I love She-ra!!!
same
As we should💅
Same
Same here ahaha
"If I watch a soldier movie, would I become a soldier? No."
That is the best response to people who are uncomfortable with LGBT I've ever heard.
I CLICKED THE NOTIFICATION SO FAST
This is so wrong
@@fightsandroasts7764 ?
This is so right & beautiful ‼️💞
@@fightsandroasts7764 What?
Okay, In a Heartbeat and Adora in the thumbnail... never clicked something faster in my life.
the fact that i knew she-ra was going to be here 😭✋🏽
I cant believe they forgot Garnet... She is THE ultimate embodiment of gay love ;-;
Yeah but you can’t just add like all the videos and shows in there, I know what u mean but yeah😪
when i saw the title, I'll admit i was a little worried some of them wouldn't be supportive since korea is more conservative and closed minded than the states and some other countries, but it was really nice to see that all of them were so supportive and compare how things could be better
Wtf where does that impression of Korea come from? I’ll agree with you that it is relatively conservative culture, but so is practically the whole of Asia.
@@lalalarose8197 idk maybe the "poc parents never accept their kids" thing
@@lalalarose8197 I think that’s what they’re trying to say, and that’s why they said they didn’t think the people in the video would be supportive.
"Kids movies"
Shera: Rated 13+
Me: *sips tea*
IS IT?
@@tiffanydlo.x It's rated 7+ in Sweden at least.
who else cried tears of joy when catradora kissed 🥺
It made me so happy
i hope that they might ask themselves, "if it was a straight couple kissing in a kids animation, would i also be as shocked?" to when chacha talked about the kissing in an animation meant for kids.
I find it interesting that they said it's more okay to be gay than lesbian in Korea. In the west, I see it as the opposite. Being lesbian is more accepted because lesbians are fetishized by men so much. But if a man is gay, it threatens straight men.
Exactly and it's just really messed up :/
There's a lot of misogyny in that "accepting". As you said, lesbian couples suffer fetishizing, so basically they are seen as objects for men's desire, impling that the relationship between the couple isn't real or actually serious. I don't think that can really counts as being more accepted...
Lesbian are only accepted when men find them attractive and bi women suffer the highest rate of abuse of any sexuality
fetishization isn’t acceptance tho...
For me in Mexico this is still a big taboo, not as much as in other countries but it definitely is something view wrong by many mnay people... Growing up as a kid I always hated myself for liking girls, like I tought I was wrong and I was the obly one, then I remembered I watched "QUE pobres tan ricos" which is a Mexican telenovela (series) and they had a gay couple in it, I was like "is that okay?" and I felt really interested in the show, cause seeing homosexual couples was new and somehow it resonated in me, it was not until like 3 years ago I became proud of who I am and understood teherws nothing wrong, also Mexican shows are showing more variety in LGBT+ characters, only LGBT+ cause about other representation in media we are not close
Apoco en "que pobres tan ricos" salía una pareja homo?:{} La vdd no la recuerdo:'}
I love this video. Any chance you could make a part two? I'm shocked that Steven Universe wasn't included. I also liked how the women admitted to struggling with their own prejudices and keeping an open mind. I know a lot of people who struggle with this as well, so it was nice to see 🥰. Love you guys.
“So can I ship them now?”
Alrighttttt. Girl is my soul mate lmaooooo
"If I watch a soldier movie, will I become a soldier?? NO" LOL I loved this part. Her head's in the right place.
I like how they said being gay is more accepted than being lesbian in Korea, cause over here in the U.S. it seems to be the opposite. Guys like to see that kind of thing I guess?
yeah, I especially hate the fact that some dude will get all pissy over a bl ship in america but legit the next second will recommend miss kobayashi’s dragon maid
Fetishisation isn't acceptance. Lesbians being seen through the male gaze and not being taken seriously because of that is the opposite side of the spectrum of dehumanisation. Gay man get pure hatred and rage, lesbians are seen as frivolous. Neither is acceptance.
I don't mean to sound negative or preachy, like I'm angry with you or anything, but as a lesbian I find it frustrating that people accually believe that because men hypersexualise and trivialise us, it's somehow "acceptance".
@@rainboe_chile6256 I agree about the fetishization thing. I think what they meant was “more open to” than necessarily accepting respectfully, and unfortunately, a big reason western culture is more open to lesbian and bi women is because of their oversexualization :// there’s a notion that if two women mess around, it’s hot but “not serious”, while gay and bi men are immediately emasculated for even holding hands, it’s weird💀💀
I’m not sure why it is that Korean culture seems more accepting of mlm than wlw though, it’s really interesting especially as a wlw Korean. Maybe since skinship is more common??
I loved the girls in the black tops they’re reactions they where like fangirling it was so wholesome to see
The first kids animation I watched with an LGBTQIA+ couple in it was Steven Universe, it’s really beautiful.
1: In a Heartbeat is one of my most favorite shoet films out there
2: 6:00, sadly in America there are states that would fire a Gay, Lesbian, or Trans teacher in a (pun unattended) heartbeat if they found out about their sexuality *cough cough* Texas and Florida *cough*
texas and florida has litterally nothing going for them and is full of crackheads anyways-
The fact that they admit they're forced to be close minded but still being kind humans they do their best to understand and the get excited at the cute moments, it's wholesome to see them being aware of the fact that it's just love, and love isn't just one norm
PLZ LMAO HE REALLY TOLD HER THE FACT THAT WE CALLED THEM CLOSED MINDEDGWUSVSUHS
My 3 fav quotes:
"So, I can ship them now?"
"If I watch a soldier movie, become a soldier? No"
"Wow, their kiss is deeper than my thought"
LGBTQ couples/characters are still fairly new to American animation, but I’m glad we’re seeing more and more of them over time 😌🥺
Same.for Germany.. also resently.people of.colour also spoke about how they most.time.only.get stereotypical roles in german tv.. also important
Not an LGBTQ member or support but I love the way they accept them and respect them.. They're open minded and knows how to respect them, Unlike others I'm so glad this kind of humanity still exists, May God bless them ❤️
Me waiting for the ruby and sapphire wedding 👁👄👁
It is really good that they show these things to children, I have met many children and I include myself, confused because they liked the same gender and there was no guide or something that tells you is fine, i love in a homophobic house and I'm a lesbian so I was so confused
Im gonna tell you that when i saw the shera kiss in the thumnail i CLIKED DO GODAMN FAST-
OMG SAMME
im korean and lgbt, and growing up in a korean household where my parents try to be accepting, they still tend to say things that are offensive and they dont realize it. they tend to deny the fact that some characters in shows can be lgbt, or call transgender people "cross dressers" or a man that wants to be a woman or a woman that wants to be a man, etc etc. and growing up like this and watching koreans get interviewed about how they feel about lgbt and getting negative responses a lot of the time, it always made me lose faith that my own people werent gonna be accepting of me. but this video really restores a lot of my lost faith and makes me feel hopeful
In A Heartbeat still causes me to shed a tear, it’s so beautiful!
I think that’s it’s really good for kids to watch these and learn that you can like whoever you want and it doesn’t matter
I still love the 1st animation when it pops back up. Just so wholesome and gives you the good feels
i love both of you. I am very thankfulful to Gays, Lesbians, LGBTQ because there are too many abandoned kids out there from straight couples & living on street with sadness condition. gays, lesbians, LGBT definitely help reduce the number of stray kids abandone kids.
I hope the girls are sharing their authentic opinions and not being filtered. I truly want to know if they have negative thoughts about these things WITHOUT them being canceled for how they think.
To people who say things like “these gay cartoons will make kids gay”- all I have to say is that I grew up watching nothing but straight cartoons, straight tv shows, straight movies, and only ever encountered straight couples in real life. Yet I still turned out gay. With their logic should I not have been turned straight?
Heartbeat will always makes me cry lmaooo 😭
"if i watch a soldier movie do i becoe a soldier? no" slay queen haaahah
"there was no nonbinary characters in naruto"
Orochimaru and haku typing...
*goes and watches everything even tho I’ve already seen them a million times*
Wow the fact that she said In a heartbeat would have been R-Rated in Korea
“That kiss is deeper than my thoughts” that was so good quote
I like how they're acknowledging their prejudices and trying to be more open minded :)
I like how they also comment on the lack of lesbian couples in media compared to gay couples too.
No love stories in kids animation? Um... every Disney princess movie ever?
They’re talking about Korean kids animation.
@@powbobs Doolie dinosaur had a girlfriend once I think.
@@powbobs Oooooh! In that case
For being “close minded” people, they’re very accepting and educated :) like they understood the prejudice against the community and with the reaction they were like “oh well that doesn’t really matter they’re just being themselves and that’s ok doesn’t bother me” and I love it
I was hoping for Sh-ra, but a tiny correction - it's not 'about' gender identities or sexual orientations, those are just elements of the characters. Good video!
Maybe include Steven Universe and Adventure Time scenes in part 2? :D
me: * gets excited about in a heartbeat *
me: *gets a little more excited for kipo *
* catradora appears*
me: *actually screams *
i just screamed. like, i hope i didnt wake my dad from his nap.
In a Heartbeat and She-ra on the thumbnail? I click.
As a person who has been watching BL as well as GL dramas for a few good years now... I can say that there is more Korean BLs (and hopefully Korean GLs) coming out now.
can you react to OnlyOneOf "LibidO" ? they're a kpop boyband with an LGBTQ concept in their LibidO MV ❤️ I'd like to see Koreans' response about them❤️
I'm a straight dude, but I could usually care less what other people do with their lives since it has nothing to do with me. However, my old sadistic 7 year old self revels in the chaos of watching the different sides battle in the ultimate duel of the internet's latest wars.
Such entertainment!
Being honest even though I know the girls are very nice I was very anxious about them being closed minded but this took a turn for the best. Korea is still very conservative but Korea also is one of the fastest growing countries in the world, I have faith that things will change soon and LGBT+ people and queerness can be portrayed more favorably in media
Her laugh in starting is 🫠😶🌫️🫥🤐😱😨
I'll be living in South Korea for a year or two starting in September and being apart of the LGBT community, I am a little nervous but hopefully if I just mind my business everything will be okay!
My fave shows with more wlw in them. Korra, Dragon Prince, Shera, Steven Universe, Owl House, Adventure time, Ok K.O, Ivy and Harley Quinn, Sailor moon.
CATRADORA IS THE BEST COUPLE AND NOTHING WILL CHANGE MY MIND
sAMEEEEE
A few interesting facts about shera are that the woman in charge Noelle Stevenson is a lesbian and married to another woman who also worked on the show, they worked really hard for lgbt relationships to not be seen as weird as one of the characters had two dads and two other princesses were married, and the nonbinary character was also voice acted by a nonbinary person so it all around a super inclusive show that is great for all ages to watch!
Oh i love how they called themselves out like immediately if they felt they said anything wrong? That's so cool and important💗 also "if i watch a soldier movie do i become a soldier" is so good
Funny she mentioned Sailor Moon, because it also has LGBT+ characters!^^
Funny that she said she watched shin chan as a kid, but in the US it was considered mature content so it aired on adult swim 🤣
Can’t tell you how quick I clicked the moment I saw CatraDora on the thumbnail
Omg I did the exact same im too obsessed!
I personally think that is so important to have LGBT+ representation in kid's cartoons, because that way, the kids will get to know that there is nothing wrong with being part of the community and no matter at what age they discover who they are they can manage to accept themselves much more easy than without representation.
Att: a Bisexual that thought bisexuality was wrong and accepted they were bi 6 years after discovering who they were.
I adore this; I'm Pansexual and have been in relationships with men and women and happen to have found my life partner in a cis male. I made sure to expose my son to LGBTQ media as he has grown up and he's always delighted to see it represented in any media. Raising your children to be not only open minded and inclusive, but truly loving them for who they are and acknowledging that, honestly leads to compassionate, kind, caring and strong individuals. I loved to see everyone here reacting so positively...
It could be good if you show them Bl K-drama. I don't know if they know that it exists and it's becoming more common in Korea ☺
Yess
I really liked the show Color Rush. The relationship between the two characters developed naturally and being in a romantic relationship wasn't the prime focus. They just ended up developing feelings for each other. I really liked that.
I should not be telling this here. But I really love how Korean girls are so talkative and expressive after becoming close!
I was hoping they would react to Steven Universe and Adventure Time, but this was a good reaction; I loved it.
Even as an adult, I watched She-ra and the healing effect that show had on me was surprising. As a kid I had never seen that kind of representation for me to relate to in TV. The first time I was exposed to LGBT representation was at around 14 years old. So seeing Catradora become real was amazing, because it's not rare for two same gendered characters to be shipped together and have subtext, but it's quite rare for the shows to actually follow through on it. She Ra was one of those shows where we didn't know if Catradora would be real by the end or not, we knew that the writing was there and was hinting at it, on top of that the show creator is part of the LGBT community, but for all we knew the network could forbid it but thankfully, they didn't. Even if it took 5 seasons for it to happen only on the very last episode. It was worth the wait and a HUGE step in LGBT representation in kid's media.
was scrolling through tiktok when the notification popped out of nowhere and i came here since i really find them funny 😔 can you guys react to filipino singers or movies? Thanks!!♥️
if i watch a soldier movie, become a soldier? no. - i love that line sm
6:30 i got really excited when i saw catradora cause i started watching short clips of those episodes a few months ago, and i think their dynamic is really good (im half korean btw lol)
OMG YES THERE IS ONLY AMAZING ANIMATION HERE I AM SO HAPPY 😭😭😭😭
As an Asian myself, I hope all the Asian countries would be open up to LGBTQ+ and support them.
(Thailand is the only Asian country that supports LGBTQ+ people more equally compared to others as I've seen so far)
