These comments are making me so so happy
Chescaleigh this is perfect! How are you, beautiful? I'm TOTALLY making a post about this today!

So long as we can all recognize that any of us can be the snail or the caterpillar in any given situation, and that the point should be to help each other rather than pointing out that someone is a snail or caterpillar, I'm happy to endorse this video :-)
cmatrix4761 Well...you watched the video right? Cause that would explain why I said "sometimes you're the snail and sometimes you're the caterpillar" ;)
chescaleigh Sorry if I wasn't clear - my intent was to reinforce that position and endorse it. :-)
chescaleigh I officially have cavities for from the amount cuteness coming from this cartoon. Thank you. chescaleigh and Kat Blaque...
I would love to see this as a children's book. I would totally buy this for either my children (on the unlikely chance I decide to have kids) or my sisters' children (on the more likely chance that at least one of the three of them will eventually have children). In fact, I'd probably make it my standard baby-shower gift. This is amazing and adorable and everyone needs to learn about this as early as possible so we can start changing the world. :)
I would also love for this to be in book form, because I know I’m going to have children at some point and this is an awesome metaphor.
This is so cute. I just resent the fact that this had to be told in a damn fairytale of a snail and a caterpillar to invoke basic empathy for other humans. But i know it'll be effective for someone so...Go Chescaleigh and Kat!
BlizzyBry I feel you. Sometimes I get really frustrated by how hard it is for people to understand this stuff, but that's why I'm trying a bunch of different approaches. I'm of the mind sometimes you gotta meet people where they're at. So I hope this works. Thanks for watching and enjoying!
That’s what I was thinking
great comment !
It's a great way to teach kids !
Adding this to my "things to show my children in the future" list.
Did I see bugs twerking? :-) lol
LOL!! Same!
This was such a cute way to give a great insightful message. I love it c:
I adore this! The illustrations are cute and appealing, and it explains the lesson in a way that's easy for people to relate to without belittling someone else's struggles. Thank you to you and Kat Blaque for making this!
Hei. :D It's a great video. I would be happy if you put subtitles on the new videos which will come, to make me easier to understand. Keep up the good work! Levi
Thanks so much! I'm working to get all my videos captioned, thanks for your patience and encouragement!
chescaleigh
Hi there! I'm with zencaptions, and I actually found your channel through doing the captions for this video. I really applaud what you're doing for your hard of hearing viewers. Working on such a cute video as this one was fun, and I'd be happy to see more content from you in the future!
Alphaend Woa! How cool! I love love love zen captions! I need to reach out and find ways for us to work together and get more RUclipsrs on board. I'm so behind on getting my older content captioned, but I'm working on it.
You can click the cc if you need captioning
As someone that literally has a PhD in research on manifestation and teaching of privilege, this is awesome :)
+Glen Noble WOW! what an awesome compliment! thanks so much!
+Glen Noble How does one figuratively have a PhD?
+Glen Noble What a waste of time and money.
What's it like to have a fake PhD?
I saw you do a presentation at the University of Wyoming a few years back. You shared this video, and the last little bit has stuck with me to this day. Really glad I could find this video again!
I love this! I’m a teacher, and this is something I can see using in my classroom. I know other teachers would too but some who teach elementary school are concerned about the fact the she says “crap” and talks about “hooking up,” which I also noted when thinking about sharing with my own young children. If the next video was a little more kid friendly in that way, that would be amazing. Still, great video! Thanks for putting it together!
Why are the bugs twerking!? Lol
This was really nice, simple story but huge message. Awesome Fran! The art was fantastic! Kat Blaque, great work!
kattaylordesign I requested twerking bugs lol aren't they hilarious!?
chescaleigh Lol, well then I guess it's okay. ^-^
Fantastic video I will admit that for a while now I have struggled with the term "privilege", not because I don't see that it exists just I was unable to appreciate its role in my own life. As you said in another video privilege are those things we don't have to think about. Seeing this gives me greater insight into the silent privileges I take for granted each day as well as makes me regret some positions I have taken in the past. Thanks for making such a difficult topic so approachable.
+Mark Flavin thanks for watching and enjoying! you aren't the only one who's had trouble with that word, i think when it's framed as something we've all experienced it makes it a bit easier, which was the goal of this video. thanks again!
+chescaleigh thank you for having the courage to put it out there. Going through your channel I really appreciate the time you have spent sharing your perspective in such a humanizing and humorous manner. It has encouraged me to seek out more opportunities to share my own thoughts and hopefully support the ultimate goal wherein videos like this and campaigns like black lives matter aren't necessary. Again thank you so much sharing I have learned a lot from your work and look forward to learning more.
Mark Flavin ah my heart! thanks so much for these kind words. it really means a lot
I would love this as a children's book
Absolutely! A great idea!
Another good analogy of this would be a mental condition, like anxiety (which is where I thought you were originally going). People who have never experienced anxiety do not understand why some things can just be ridiculously difficult to do for others, because that particular thing is not difficult for them; like, going to a party.
A great little fable for remembering that everyone is different and deals with different strengths and obstacles though.
She basically already covered that by saying that you don't always know what people are going through..
Anna HD yea, but it wouldn't hurt to be a little more specific with mental illnesses and the wide variety of them. A lot of people don't understand them, even if they have one
Amanda Riviera cantankeruz I used "have a disability" as a catch all, but specifically mentioning mental illness would've been a stronger choice. my apolgoies for the oversight. i don't have much experience talking about mental illness, but it's something i'm interested in learning more about, especially since there are a lot of misconceptions and stigma surrounding mental health
I wasn't trying to say you excluded it at all. I was just highlighting it as a specific example.
I honestly think this little fable is something kids in modern society should hear. It sends an easy to understand message on perspective and personal context. :)
Amanda Riviera ah thanks for clarifying. I really wanted this to apply to lots of different people, so I'm glad you mentioned mental illness as one area where this story applies. I'd love to see this video in classrooms, here's hoping we can create more and do just that!
thanks for the support and feedback ;)
Oh my god, Kat hit it out of the park with this. It's so incredibly adorable. You two work really well together, I love this
I'm not the caterpillar or the snail I'm one of the twerking ants 😂😂
It's so nice! Thank you for making this video! It indeed helps so much sometimes to explain something by using analogies, stepping away for a minute from the intricate delusions our society has created and substituting them with something as clear and obvious as having a shell. Besides this video is so kids-friendly which I think is the best part of it for if we teach these things to kids we can be sure that we are going to construct a fairer world in the future. And of course the way this video is animated and narrated makes it even more amazing!
That escalated quickly!
What do you mean?
Don't you mean "that ESCARGated quickly"?
Eh? Eh?
Fawriel or CHESCAlated ??
yes! I had a feeling the animator was Kat, she has such a lovely style :D This video was awesome! Great story with a great message!
The snail could go over the fence though
we had our guidance counselor show us this, because there's a LOT of bullying problems (me and a group of friends are a part of the victims) and, the people who are bullying us took it as a joke and im pretty angry that they did because this video was awesome and it's probably the best thing the teacher could have done.
/sigh
LOL @ the twerking bugs! Great message to say the least! 😊
AJ H. twerking bugs for the win!
I absolutely love this video! it's so cute how you used almost a childlike story to portray the situations that humans beings actually face! If only the people around stopped to take time and think like the caterpillar did!
Boom! Suddenly teaching kids about "tough topics" became a heck of a lot easier for all those "but hooow do i talk to my kids" parents out there.
This is great! Kat and Chescaleigh should definitely partner up and make children's books on subject matter that isn't talked about but needs to.
I am Catersnail haha privileged in many ways but in other ways deal with a lot if difficulties many people simply don't face.
You two are explosive together, this HAS to become a series!
Ghotigh TheFish the minute we met to talk about this I knew it was going to be epic. we had a great time working together and i'm excited for our next project, whatever it might be!
No it doesnt.
Great story. Thanks for this lesson. We all need to thing before we act.
This was really nice :)
The artwork, music and narration all worked well to make this a wonderful story with a beautiful message. Great job, I look forward to future projects from you talented ladies! :)
This is a refreshingly nuanced fable about privilege because it acknowledges how it can be relative depending on the situation. The caterpillar clearly had the privilege when it came to getting under the fence, but not so much when it came to shoe-shopping. Unfortunately a lot of privilege discussions seem to overlook that in favor of fixating on situations corresponding to traditional hierarchies (e.g. white>black or male>female), as if the privileges never reversed in any situation.
This video is perfect! I really hope this can make people understand that privilege is not about having an easy life, it's about having SOME advantages in SOME situations. I hate when people say "I'm not privileged because I had a poor childhood and had to work for what I have!" Like, okaaaaay, but that's not really what privilege is. ;__; This video is wonderful and I really think it will persuade some people to think about it differently :D
This was such a fantastic video! I am disabled and as soon as the snail couldn't get under the fence, I felt that. Both from places not being accessible and from people just not understanding. Also the illustrations and narration were excellent! (and subtitles help me a lot with concentration and stuff so thanks for adding them too)
BEAUTIFUL this is so perfect to show kids! Thanks Queens!
Kat + Chesca = MAGICAL AWESOME ARTY TRUTHS :D
This video is amazing!
Fantastic. I'm gonna start posting this in the comments whenever I see people being fools about privilege and oppression. One thing does not cancel out another. We can appreciate someone's struggle, and acknowledge our privilege where it exists, without it minimizing our own challenges. I also can't wait to share this with my daughter.
Very cute video. Kat did a lovely job with the animation.
So THIS was the Kat Blaque chescaleigh collab! Awesome! :D
Hope to see more! Xx
I saw this on tumblr and I hardly click on RUclips vids on tumblr but im glad i clickd this one cuz,it was adorable and just everything
I love when a cute cartoon just comes out and says the actual real life application because I feel ike a lot of cartoons kind of talk about people coming from different backgrounds and having different abilities but usually it doesn't "go there". So this is perfectly educational imho.
and those booty bumpin bugs tho! so cute. also when am I every going to be able to use the awesome phrase that is, booty bumpin bugs, ever again.
This shows such a good message in legit the cutest possible way. :D
What an adorable and articulate way of showing the importance of checking your privilege.
I appreciate you both for this.
Privilege 101!
Very nice !!! Beautiful illustrations, Kat! Good job both of you!!
Oh My Gosh!!!! This is so awesome. What a wonderful series this could be. What a wonderful way to use your gifts and talents to affect change.
great message, I like how everyone can relate to this because everyone has their struggles and challenges no matter what, some definitely more than others but it's nice you didn't portray anyone as the villain or fully privileged (if that even exists)
Making sure that no one was the "bad guy" and that lots of different privileges were acknowledge was a very conscious decision. So glad you enjoyed and appreciated it! ;)
Hugh Jass if someone's straight,male,white,rich and able-minded/bodied then that person is "fully privileged." it's not as rare as you'd like to think. is my example "painting people as villains"?
sorry if my comment's negative,Chescaleigh. the person just seemed like they were creating some kind of defense or excuse...
cherubicnerd don't apologize, i don't see anything wrong with your comment. "fully privileged" is kind of a clunky way to describe someone, but in terms of "painting people as villains" i interpreted it to mean that neither of the characters was the "bad guy" and their friendship was intact at the end. it's true, straight white rich able bodied cis men are at the top of the pyramid when it comes to privilege, but i want them to enjoy and understand this content too.
cherubicnerd "the person" wasn't creating some defense of excuse at all. It's just that I'm sick of seeing straight cis white "fully privileged" males getting portrayed as villains when the innocent ones are fully supportive of equality...the "fully privileged" individuals are not fully privileged if they're seen as bad people in the eyes of others. They're seen as people that perpetuate rape culture, unfit to babysit, pedophiles, misogynists etc.
I really hate being seen as any of those things when I'm not... and many people aren't deserving of that automatic pigeon hole-ing.
I'm not even straight cis white male myself. I'm mixed race, bi or gay (i don't even know) and male and it feels like I can't fit into any community at all, but I still get seen as the enemy.
I mean this video just shows that everyone has their problems, even people that are seemingly perfect in the eyes of society. Some people definitely have more problems than others but it's really not fair blaming someone that was born into what they are
Hugh Jass "Some people definitely have more problems than others but it's really not fair blaming someone that was born into what they are." that's fair.
I love this, great video. Makes a great point in an easy to understand way and the animation is really cute and well done!
GREAT way to explain privilege and coalition building! Definitely using this with the college students I work with.
shesananniemal thanks for the great work you're doing and for sharing our work!
Love love love this! I work in a public school and this is great for the children to see, as well as the employees😏 Thanks so much!
A Chescaleigh and Kat Blaque collab?? Could this be any more awesome!?
PS Thank you for having captions!
Thank you so much for this beautiful little, inspirational cartoon! Of course I subscribed, shared it on facebook and hope that it has a real impact in the world! Keep going, you're doing great! Much love and light!
Very Awesome with a great message. I'd like to see more of these of course. :)
A thousand hugs to you for making this incredible video! I loved every ounce of it. It would be so amazing if you made content for kids as well. As a teacher, I'd love to show this to my students, but I hesitate just slightly. I know I could easily explain "hooking up" as "becoming good friends" but then kids would start using that terminology on the playground and I'd be in big trouble!
This is so cute. It explains privilege without pointing fingers or signaling out any particular group.
I wish this was a children's book! :)
Well done chescaleigh and Kat Blaque. This video could be used for all ages and groups of people.
1:17 lol "And this just sets the caterpillar off."
I'm sorry but this doesn't seem like a good comparison to me. Most people only have a problem with other people assuming they don't have problems with their own race. Meaning unless someone is racist to them or rude to them or demeaning to them, they won't have a problem. Most people's issue with White Privilege is that the concept generalizes an entire race. They're not trying to distract or shift the attention onto themselves, it's just honestly very offensive to have all of your issues devalued by the term "White Privilege". Throughout the video it seemed like it was being pushed that the Snail had a much tougher life than the Caterpillar. This however is in contrast with the other message of the video which was that you can't judge a book by its cover. Which is it? Seems to me neither the Snail nor the Caterpillar should be judgmental, yet both were. You even said at the end, "especially race", or that the only potential problems a white person could have that are widespread are disabilities or being LGBTQ. This is a big world. Everyone's suffering, sure some are luckier than others, but I do not feel like we should define that based on race. Because that sort of boxing is dangerous and racist.
Stuff like saying "Some of them are small" while drawing the old white lady really sends the message that you don't want everyone to step into a different perspective's shoes, just white people. Like automatically being white and cis means your struggles are less. And then we're perceived as egotistical when we see that as offensive (The caterpillar I assume is supposed to represent "privileged" white people). It is offensive, every human being has problems, and you can't judge the severity of those problems by their race, sexual attraction, gender, or any of that stuff. Some white people are rich, some are poor, some black people are rich, some are poor. By adhering to these demographics it just seems like a continuation of stereotyping and "Us Them" mentality. It just doesn't seem like you're advocating for a two way street, but instead blaming one side (as if sides really exist). Saying one is automatically to blame and therefore has a duty to make up for it is the definition of racism. All humans have committed crimes throughout history, all races all religions all creeds. No need for blaming over historical injustices, even if their effects are felt today. Instead we should find solutions to these problems today, not playing the blame game or scapegoating game played by countless civs across history and the world. No one race should be responsible for fixing racism because all races are guilty of it. Once you study world history and anthropology you find out that not just Western Civs were racist, all were. I'm glad we're evolving, but we all need to evolve, not just white people. All races must throw away ethno-nationalism, and trust me, it's rampant in all races. From America to Europe to Africa to the Mid-East to India to East Asia. Racism runs rampant on all continents by all races except for Antarctica. Sad but seems to reinforce that old proverb that as long as two humans exist, conflict will. I like to believe though that we've made progress with the Enlightenment, Technology, and the recent boom in international law, global peace (far less wars than pre-1945), and civil progress. US is definitely to thank for a lot of that stuff (UN was formed in California and centered in New York, a very US funded institution at least for a while).
I understand my opinions may be a bit controversial on this channel, but I don't mean any of them as trolls. These are my opinions based on the research I've done on the subjects, I'm open to discussion, but I do find that I have backed up my opinions with good points and I hope that people can have a respectful conversation on such complicated topics.
TLDR: Basically, the Snail is saying "I'm not saying you have it easy, but...you do". It's that whole "I'm not trying to say this...but...I am.". Kinda undermines the whole video when the Caterpillar's initial reaction was actually justified as the Snail was judging the Caterpillar and devaluing the Caterpillar's struggles. Even basically trying to make it sound like finding shoes was laughable in comparison to snail trails. Those both seem pretty annoying to me, and either way, the Snail assuming the Caterpillar's problem's were small undermines the entire video's supposed point.
At no point of the video is the term "white privilege" mentioned. If anything, the video acknowledges that everyone has struggles: the snail has a shell and the caterpillar has countless feet. The small vs big struggles is a visual gag, you don't have to look too deep into it. Personally, I saw the character as a little girl not a granny.
The reason why we need to mention race is because it is an important factor in a society such as the American one. A society that was based on slavery and segregation and that still experiences the ripples of these institutions. Yes, race is not the only thing but no one tells poor people talking about their challenges to shut up because they risk dividing people. Poverty and social class divide society. So does gender. Religion. Race. And pushing them under the rug won't improve things, it will just fester. This doesn't mean that some fight can't merge together. They absolutely can.
@@_blank-_ Well the way I've interpreted this video is a statement on white priviledge, maybe I'm wrong, but that's what it very much seems like to me. It seems like it's trying to say that "White people, we know you have problems, but ours are always way worse and you need to accept that". That's the message it seems and I don't like that message, it's condescending and somewhat racist to people just cause they have white skin.
"A society based on slavery and segregation". Um...not more than most nations. Most countries in history had more slavery and segregation than the US, and less frameworks for growth of further rights. The US founders specifically wanted the citizens to evolve the system over time, and knew very well things like Slavery would come into conflict with the new revolutionary ideas. These ideas were new, this is important. Everyone gives them shit for not creating some 2010 super woke society back in 1776, seriously? People really need to read more history. Until 1776, there were no real rights. Sure a few English nobles had some rights, maybe some Frenchmen, but the vast majority of the world was ruled by Absolutists, West African/Islamic Slavers, and Feudalists. America came in and changed everything, and people want to give shit for not immediately overcoming 100,000 years of separation, migration, and warfare between countless ethnicities? Like of course it'll take time, it took time for the vote to expand to all males, then to all colors, then to all genders. Nice thing though is that our nation has generally been at the forefront of this progress, so instead of being demonized for our history, we should be proud. Our collective ancestors won the Civil War, our ancestors abolished slavery and along with UK/France were the first to put pen to paper and choose to ban archaic practices. The very fact that you act like America was some super slave state is exactly what I'm worried about, propaganda has already convinced the masses of these half-lies and historical inconsistences. They talk about America all the time while ignoring Brazil, France, China, Mughals, and the Ottomans. America was way ahead of these guys in terms of moral, ethical, and social development. America and Great Britain led the charge against slavery, and did so for the first time in history out of ethical and philosophical reasons, rather than pragmatic ones like the reason the Islamic Slave Trade ended, because it had to, not because they believed it was wrong.
Poverty does not have to divide society. I believe in a future where we can easily have two major classes split into 6 subgroups, with the poorest people being lower middle class, and only because they aren't as ambitious as the higher classes, a real meritocracy, where skill is rewarded over identity (race/religion) or inheritance (aristocracy/nobility). No poverty exists in this economic system as it's somewhat of an automated technology Keynesian capitalist based society. Humans don't waste time on busy work or hard labor anymore, so all jobs are either moderate or high paying jobs that Automated Robots cannot do. This way we avoid the AI problem too, by focusing Human Manpower on Thinking while focusing Robot Manpower on Physical Work/Busy Work, there's less of an incentive to invent a true AI in the first place, something we humans are not ready for yet. I've thought this stuff through. Poverty can be overcome with smart economic decisions, class divisions can be dealt with by ensuring enough of the populace is at least middle class, similar to FDR and Eisenhower's strategy after WW2 but just on a larger scale.
I'm not a conservative. I will NEVER advocate for pushing things under a rug or ignoring them, I believe we should always search for solutions to problems relentlessly. I just don't think Race is the reason African Americans are suffering today. Sure it's the reason they sufferered in the past, and because of generational trauma and inheritance this has led to problems. But once again, the solution to that is a economic one, not a racial. Equality of Opportunity has already been achieved for a while now, going further means you're going to have Equality of Outcome, which is evil and wrong. A good example is Affirmative Action. Two kids, white kid has slightly higher grades, but the other kid, is black, so he gets in instead. Not fair. Are you going to tell the white kid he doesn't get to have a good life in the future because of something some white people did a long time ago, people he's probably not even related to? Good luck with that. Point is, never go for equality of outcome, it's a bad way to achieve your goals. You want all Americans living peacefully and prosperously, so do I. I just don't think focusing on race will achieve it. Same applies to religion. Sure these problems exist and I won't ignore it, but as far as I'm concerned its actually the back/forth blame game that causes the division problems. It's people demonizing the other side, or religions demonizing each other. To me, the best solution is to ignore these crazy supremacists and fundamentalists and aim for the core reasons something is happening. Stop going for the symptoms, go for the cause. The Cause is called the Fall of the American Golden Age. In the 50s/60s our growth was unprecedented and more people were entering the middle class than ever. It almost looked like there was about to be no more lower class, no more poverty. Sadly this didn't happen, and we experienced decline that has continued to this day. If we were to radically reverse this decline, and do so in a way that prioritizes putting money in the average citizen's hands rather than big corps, we could really solve almost everyone's problems.
I'm not ignoring any of the problems. I just refuse to scapegoat and demonize people by pretending this is all caused by "White Priviledged" or racism. No, this is caused by logical traceable economic problems, this is caused by chaos theory, and it can be solved with math, not blame games. Not teaching white kids to hate themselves, because white people aren't holding anyone back anymore. If someone is poor today, it's because it's hard to stop being poor in today's America, the American dream died, if we want poor people to rise up to the Middle Class, we need to bring it back. At the end of the day, racism is caused by fear/segregation. If there were no "white" or "black" or "latino" communities, but instead just "American" communities, we'd all be better off. So while I don't advocate for ignoring reality or it's problems, I do believe that advocating for unity and a prioritization of our American identity is best for solving these problems. Only together can we solve economic problems facing all races (lots of poor while people these days too btw, especially in the Mid-West, so many jobs just disappeared). It's best to acknowledge race exists, but also do our best to transform it into nothing different than hair or eye color, because at the end of the day, it's not really that different from hair/eye color differences. I just think overly obsessing over idenity is ethno-nationalist in nature (Mustache Man's ideology). SO it's especially odd that identity politics mostly comes from more radical Liberals these days. Churchill did say the next fascists would be anti-fascists I think. Makes sense, you call your self the enemy of darkness, nobody would suspect your own darkness so they get away with it, I think this is how/why groups like Antifa or SJWs have been acting all ethno-nationalist and fascist these past few decades. I say we stop obsessing over identities and priviledged and simply unite together to enact the change we all so desperately want. Apart and divided and arguing which race did what will not solve our problems, being united and working together to create common sense (almost mathematical) solutions to OUR (The American people)'s problems. That's my real wish. That one day, nobody will see each other as different races, just Americans, and eventually, for the whole world just "Humans". Why can't we all just have Sapien pride instead of black pride or white pride. Sapien Pride is where its at. it's the only identity that we humans all truly share.
Very beautiful, thank you!
I really enjoyed it until you got to the part of linking people's identity to their sexual perversions. Its like making out as if somebody that is a pathological liar or a psychopath or a narcisist or a sick child moleator, is just some odd thing about somebody to be embraced. Sin needs to be repented of and sometimes the root goes deep, I get that, but that is really a far cry from actual differences in how God made us and meant for us such as race, abilities, personality traits/types and IQ. In my view that really messed up what could have been a really nice video to share with friends.
sexual perversions? whhhhhhhhhhhhhat
I'm excited for the rest of the series! :D
This is so perfect. I absolutely love this! At first I was like, "where is this going?" and then I was like, "yessssss". So cute
this made me smile after a really hard day of dealing with some racial abuse- thank you :)
New childrens show on PBS kids?? I think yes :)
From your mouth to God's ears!
@Chescaleigh
Or to any other deity/deities that one may worship instead of said traditional God. Come now. I thought this channel was supposed to be.... "diverse".
This is the cutest thing EVER! I also love the message! Well done, I love your channel and everything you stand for ♡
This is the best thing I ever saw.
Who's here because of the assignment.
Love this!!! So excited to finally see the finished product!
this is great, Im gonna show this to my daughters, love it :)
I absolutely love this. It sends such a powerful message while also being completely adorable! I'n going to show this to my little cousin and her friends!
awww you are a beautiful person
This is so FREAKING AWESOME!!! This relates to so many different issues, even the hair issue. Keep posting!!! Change is coming... By the way you guys should do a children's book!
This was SO GOOD!
THIS WAS SO FREAKING ADORABLE. That is all.
BEAUTIFUL and SMART!
We have to teach basic empathy to adults, using cartoons. Imagine that.
Hope you're gonna submit this to FILM FESTIVALS. I attended the Cleveland International Film Festival (CIFF) and this woulda been a GREAT addition to the Animated Shorts section. ijs. Great narration also.
I absolutely love Kat’s artistry here!!
This is so cute and would be perfect for explaining privilege to anyone but especially kids. It would be perfect for classrooms. Both you and Kat did an awesome job!
THIS IS THE BEST THING IN THE UNIVERSE. SOBS HAPPILY AND APPLAUDS ALL AT ONCE! AHHHHHHHHH
YAAS MY FAV RUclips QUEENS MADE A COLLAB (ish?)
I love this video,
Thank you Kat and Chescaleigh!
This is really really amazing. I've had a lot of disagreements with Kat Blaque, but this video has an amazing point. Thank you so much for this.
+Leif Siegrist What has Kat Blaque done?
I aM She's generalized white gay men. She has continuously demeaned them and their opinions.
Leif Siegrist Lol. K. I thought she did something bad.
I aM She completely disregards them. She's made many good points on reminding white gays of the privilege they have but she has put it in a way that is off putting to many. Her recent attack on Rupauls Drag race angered some people and she just assumed they where all "white gays" as if that's a bad thing. She has been really rude on Twitter with me also.
This was great!!!
So glad you two collaborated :) please if you both can, do more together x
This is wonderful, well done guys!
I love the message of cooperation.
Aunque nos duela el cambio es necesario para la evolución, somos como orugas hipnotizadas que se arrastran continuamente por las circunstancias de la vida, sin saber que tenemos la posibilidad de hacernos crecer las alas, romper la fase de desarrollo de la inconsciencia y transformarnos en maravillosas mariposas, conquistando nuestros sueños. Pero tenemos miedo de pensar que una nueva vida, podría ser posible y claro que es posible, pero entre los miedos que nos aprietan el pensar en que quizás podemos fracasar y en lo que pensaran los demás, preferimos seguir llevando la venda en los ojos y seguir siendo orugas por miedo a las consecuencias.
You two should seriously make a children's book!!
This is amazing , I absolutely love this
Very helpful to use in my community college psychology course! It's an intro course and few of them have taken sociology - let's just say that intro psych text books aren't made with any sort of oppression overview, so finding videos like this is essential for me! Thank you!
This was wonderful. Gave me goosebumps. :)
I love the narrating, the wonderful drawings and animation, the story the message. This is great!
This video was GREAT!! I watched it with my 10 month old son, although he may not be old enough to completely understand it now, he will one day and that's what makes this so perfect. Thank you!!!
I saw you at ASAPscience's NYC book signing not too long ago. As you were leaving, Greg and Mitch said you were celebrity. From the looks of it, you felt super shy and said that you weren't. I believe you were right. You aren't a celebrity. You're more than that. You're a hero. You're standing up for African Americans with your videos. I admire that so much! You inspire me to want to make the world a better place with my videos much more than i already want to. Thank you. Next time i see you, i'll definitely say "Hi!" Be on the look out, folks!

wow. what an incredibly sweet thing to say. i'm flattered! and yes, please say hi next time!
Very cute video and drawings, awesome message !
I discovered your channel because I came across a vid on Trisha Paytas' channel where Shane Dawson mentions your name (implying that your his hater). I don't know what he expected to gain from that comment because you've got yourself a new subscriber in me!
Ha! Funny how that works ;) Welcome! Thanks!
This is so true that happened to me
This was just amazing from beginning to end. Emailing this to some of my professors I think this would be great in the classrooms. You both are so talented! Loved Kat's illustration and your narration. Just amazing!
So why doesn't the snail just go over the top of the fence? Instead of complaining about something it can't do why not act on the unique skill set it has to accomplish the task at hand.I mean this snail is capable with interspecies communication not to mention it has the mental capacity to watch movies, arts and crafts, and be able to make cosplay outfits with out hands, climbing a silly little fence would be trivial. What if they went around to the other fence and there was no hole? Is the snail shit out of luck? Or would there be a conspiracy that there fences systemically oppress snails?
Love this. Showed it to my 7 year old who insisted I send it to her teacher. Keep up the good work!!
This was fantastic!
