Respect. I was an atheist when i was younger, but i realized i thought that way as a reaction to to my experience with shitty peoples concept of god. As i got older i realized i couldnt apply other human constucts to something like the idea of god. Now i simply believe in possibilities. This world seems far too complex to have happened by chance. So i keep my mind open to most ideas.
@@bladesteele4177 I’m not gonna try to convince you that religion is bad. I will say that if you have to use a different metric to explain god that you use for everything else in your life, it’s not a good thing. I think that religion was a way for people to explain away the unexplainable when we didn’t have any other way. It still exists, because people still fear the unknown and the idea of religion comforts them. It’s also something that gets ingrained when your family and community participate in it, and usually only do so because their family and community did. I think Ricky Gervais said it best when he was talking to Steven Colbert. He said that there are thousand religions. Steven only believes in one (Christianity. One variation of it). Ricky said he believes in one less that that. He also made a good point that if you destroyed all knowledge of religion and all knowledge of science today, that in 1,000yrs, there would be science and there would be religion. The science would look the same while the religion would be completely different. It’s because science is a process, while religion is taking an idea and turning it and flipping it till you make each new situation fit into it. Again, I’m not gonna try to tell you not to believe what you believe, but that’s my take on it.
I agree wholeheartedly. I think that people sometimes get stuck in a certain perspective, as it was the one that was given to them. We're handed a point of view from the moment we enter this world, and the easiest thing to do is run with it our entire life. It was placed in our lap, so why run the extra mile when everything we've ever known is right in front of us. This mindset, this phenomenon, is what causes people to forget that maybe, just maybe, the thing we're looking for is a little farther than the box we were raised in. Maybe we're close, or maybe we need to reroute our entire brain, but whatever the case thinking is important, and contemplation is key to living.
Every reaction glosses over the deepest part of the song. Once you have achieved a level of "goodnesss" to have earned gods love, then you no longer need it, because at that point you are personifying gods will.
I am extremely religious, and I love this. Not everyone religious needs validation so much that everyone has to agree with them. That's just the loud obnoxious ones.
yeah, thats the issue with all groups and types of people.. you mostly see/hear about loud obnoxious ones, cuz they are loud and obnoxious, normal ones just minding their own business, or at least not acting all crazy
In my house experience the loud and obnoxious ones are the ones sinning like crazy behind closed doors, like my ultra religious father who will spend the last of his days in prison.
I'm prepared to be wrong, but I've never got the impression that Bo was atheist, but more that he had becomes so disillusioned with churches (especially the catholic) that he stopped believing in THEM. Note that throughout the song, he used the line "because you think that I want you to." Not that God actually thinks that, only that the churches believe that that is what God wants them to do. Yet so many churches/religions are counter to each other, so which is right and wrong. You can believe in god, while thinking that the earthly churches are all crap.
@@micahbell3119 yes, I understand it's from God's perspective. That's the name of the song. I'm saying that In the song, bo is using that to complain about the actions of various churches.
he is directly critiquing the core beliefs of many popular religions I don't know what gives you the idea that he actually believes in a god when he says things like this
@@maxotto9877 I don't know what he believes. But believing in a god, and believing in a religion, is two entirely separate concepts. Plenty of people believe in a god, but hate organized religions with a passion.

Been around since the first channel started, Just wanted to shout you out sir. Love what the community and fan base have become. Ready for many more years of content! ❤
So much in this song, but all to say that if there is a higher power, we have ZERO idea what that looks like or what it may think of us. In a way, it's comforting. I honestly don't want a higher power looking at me too close anyway. XD
Yeah that's something I don't understand much about religion. I feel like if a being was powerful enough to form the universe it wouldn't care about some specks on a speck gaining sentience, when our sentience compared to it would be like comparing an amoeba to a human. Like okay maybe they exist but how would they recognize our existence?
I believe both crustaceans and pork were banned because they carried bacteria which was killing people when not properly cooked, so it wasn't actually a religious thing, it was more like early CDC (they just didn't know the bacteria bit).
I believe that they are also, in general, just considered to be “bottom feeders” and “unclean.” Though, yes, it probably was the bacteria which led to that thinking (but I have no clue about that, I’ve never heard it before)
Be a decent human being because you should, not because you want to get into an exclusive club. Always liked this song, it's not even a religious bashing song, just a "be a good person" song.
What you were saying at the end reminded me of a Rise Against song called "People live here" Rise Against are a pop/punk band and have quite a few songs that create conversations. IDK if you ever wanted to go down that rabbit hole for reactions, but I think you personally may enjoy their music.
Kosher/Halal foods were important commandment in the middle-east before refrigeration was invented. Don't eat shrimp "Because God said so" was simpler to say than "you'll be pucking next couple of days"
I think a lot of people are surprised that a comedian his age was talkin about death and religion so much. I learned in a podcast interview he gave that his mom was a hospice nurse and that he went to a Catholic high School in Boston. So that would definitely give a young person more of an awareness of such things.
The ban on pork and shellfish I think came from the fact that those don’t keep f they aren’t super fresh or refrigerated (which wasn’t a thing back then)
That bit about how Earth could be heaven reminds me of the John Lennon song Imagine "Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us, only sky"
I would LIKE to agree with the sentiment, but Carlin was a curmudgeonly atheist to his departure from the mortal coil. Bo has evidently shown remorse for being overtly antagonistic toward theistic practices. The GOAT never did.
Regardless of belief, I feel we let preconceptions about each blind us from the fact we are all somewhere in the middle. How people are told to view Atheists/Christians is true for a tiny fraction of who they interact, if at all.
this is the reverse of most religions - most religions go "you ARE fucked up, a sinner etc. but WE can make you better, WE want to have you if you follow our rules" this instead goes tough love "you have it so fucked up on earth, if I existed why would you think I would think you're the slightest interesting or worth a relationship with?" then it touches upon "hey, I could grant you heaven ... OR, just hear me out, you have the power to bring about heaven where you're at... isn't just the thought of that worth trying?" and then it goes Love - the greatest thing of all - is a human trait. looking up at a figment of imagination or something so big and complex it made our REALITY and expect it to love us. all of you have that power, if you want Love, it has to come from you. I MAY not be real, so my love wouldn't count for squat. but you DO exist and you have the CAPACITY for love - so it's actually your responsibility to share it - don't dump that burden on me, I just made reality, you get to have agency over it and that fact alone should make you be as compassionate and loving as possible - wether I exist or not...
It’s ironic that so many are anti-religious and especially anti-Semitic, yet agree with the message here. For thousands of years, the core message of Judaism is Tikkun Olam - to focus on improving the world in some small way. “Earth could be Heaven” is exactly the point and the goal in Judaism.
I'm about 3 minutes in so this might chance, but I don't see this song as an attack on christians in general so much as those christians who value strict adherence to the rules over treating others with kindness and compassion. This is actually something Jesus himself talks about in Luke 11:37-46. In the end, he's saying stop being so concerned with being perfect and just be kind to one another.
In the echoes of philosopher's minds, a question stirs profound, Jeremy Bentham's inquiry, in ethics we resound, Can animals suffer? A crucial query to explore, As we ponder their sentience, their pain forevermore. For in the vast expanse of Earth's diverse domain, We witness creatures in every shape and name. From soaring birds to graceful deer in forests deep, Their lives intertwined with ours, a promise we must keep. With Bentham's fervent plea, we must heed the call, To recognize their plight, and yet not be enthralled. For in their eyes, we see reflections of our own, A shared capacity to feel, to love, to be known. In slaughterhouses dark, where cries and anguish blend, We confront our choices, if our hearts we choose to mend. For what gives us the right to take their lives away, To prey upon the helpless, with no heed to what they say? Let empathy guide our steps on this moral path,
no eating pork was from time when they were not properly heated, all large animal meat has worms in them, but pork was often the case for worms.. same as "don't eat anything from sea without scales" is because cooking wasn't perfected
It wasnt shock value for his fans at the time. He'd already done the (Pope) Rant and quite a lot of edgy/"did he really say that" material at this point.
Watched many of your clips, really like them. I am an atheist. As much as the last part of his some sounds spiritual it is also very atheist minded. What we put out into the world comes from us and the wonder of the world is simply nature, and can be enjoyed as such with out and other intervention needed. Question though why the “R” word and the beeping out of it? I understand the profanity but the reality of “ it” can’t be erased or pretended away. I won’t put “it” in as I assume there is a reason and I respect that but I wonder what it is.
I grew up in a religious house going to Sunday school for years but slowly we stopped going to church just becase of time. I personally think it was a good thing becase it let me form my own opinion about god and death. years before this song came out I came to a similar conclusion for a lot of the video. Mostly the sims part and how doing good just to get to heaven does not work.
I'm sad that I only recently have gained an appreciation for Bo's early material, and he's now gone Billy Joel in lamenting the shit that made him famous.
his theology is not really sound lol obviously but its not about that so much that as it is the greater hypocrisy of the values and views of the human racist. Its Brilliant.
Why so worried aboutb"curse words"? It's about context with language, not the actual word. I could say stupid and it would be much more offensive than "you're fucking awesome!"
I don't see the problem here, it's his first time listening to the songs and he's pausing to add comment when there's something he wants to comment on. If you want to hear the song without him pausing just go listen to it
@@Pigeon249 First of all nobody is crying. This is a RUclips comment section, therefore I have every right to, you guessed it, comment on the video. Many other reactors manage to post videos such as these without trampling all over the content.
Love Bo bit not a fan of your thumbnails for his reactions. Using a still from Welcome to the intenet for Gods perspective 🙄 two different eras for him. Using the video image for Oh Bo but the concert footage. Not great. I watched because I enjoy Bo. Although I hope you are more honest/considerate hoing forward.
DUDE WATCH VIDEO you can re-read the lyrics. you are missing performance, timing, expression, nuance to READ. this isnt a book. do u think the audience received printouts to follow along with at the show?
i understand why u censor some words but can someone explain me why censor "mastrubation" ? isnt it a world like "Bird" i mean whats bad about that word ? fun fact but for me this is one of his more harmless videos xD but then i am from europe religion is a thing teached in historiy class for me xD
now in the light of star treks progenetors species philosphy in the spirit of the guardians of forever and beneficiant thanos undo the evil of the world in song, just for fun ;) (Verse) In the realm of Star Trek's visionary reach, Where philosophy and grandeur interweave, The Progenitors shine with wisdom and grace, Guiding us to a future, unified by embrace. Their ancient echoes through time's vast hallways, Remind us of our duty, in these fleeting days, To stand as guardians, protectors of all, To answer the call, hear the universe's call. (Chorus) With the spirit of the Guardians of Forever, And the benevolent heart of Thanos, clever, We sing a song of hope, to undo evil's tether, Together, we'll transcend, create a world that's better. (Verse) With compassion as our compass, we'll boldly go, Exploring new frontiers, let prejudice erode, Embracing diversity, in every shape and form, For a future that's united, where all can be reborn. In the face of darkness, we'll be the guiding light, Spreading love and justice, like stars shining bright, For every life matters, from the smallest to the grand, In this symphony of existence, let harmony expand. (Bridge) In our hands lies the power to shape destiny, To rewrite the narrative, break the chains that be, With empathy as our weapon, divisions we'll mend, A tapestry woven, a universe on the mend. (Chorus) With the spirit of the Guardians of Forever, And the benevolent heart of Thanos, clever, We sing a song of hope, to undo evil's tether, Together, we'll transcend, create a world that's better. (Outro) So let us sing this melody, across time and space, A joyous celebration, a harmonious embrace, In the spirit of Star Trek's legacy we'll soar, Creating a universe where love and peace restore.
So shelled fish and pork, even to this day, have some of the highest levels of toxicity that humans consume. Pigs digestional system is among the most similar to humans, and shelled fish serve the purpose of filtering the body of water they reside in. Imagine emptying your brita and frying the filter up and eating it. Back in the day the main reasons known for avoiding such foods were that most swine were considered filthy living garbage disposals. A lot of people would become ill form both pork and shelled fish. That's just a small amount of info. I'm not certain off hand how the correlations were then transfered to the Abrahamic Traditions, but I'm certain there's info about it.
Additionally, dietary restrictions were out in place to be a distinguishing marker between God’s chosen people (Israel) and the Gentiles (non-Jews). Ultimately the laws of the Old Testament were there to point to Christ who would fulfill the whole Law on behalf of those who would have faith in Him. You have heard the saying “vote with your dollars”, well, in a similar way you vote with your stomach. God’s people would be distinguishable in multiple ways including even by what they eat, and this further shows Christ’s righteousness because He kept the whole Law perfectly which no mere man could do.
Lemme tell you something, MRLBOYD and MRLBOYD's audience: FIrst, I most of the time really enjoy your reactions , but you know what's absolutely diabolical? That in today's America (and thus in the field of social networks in general) you can't actually use words - and most confusingly, you censor not only N-word, F-word. C-word and so on, but even the R-word. Don't take me wrong - you still know them you still use them, you just falsely pretend you don't by not pronouncing them, but at the same time you make pretty sure everyone gets which words you mean. Isn't it stupid? Isn't it hypocritical? What are you trying to pretend? That it doesn't exist? Isnt' that just even more harmful? I'll tell you the continental European perspective - it most definitely is. And unitll you guys overseas don't do something about it, your culture will remain in it's current confused state. I'm not saying people should be rude to one another, but there should be no harm seen in just descriptively using words. Wake up, people! Just imagine if someone was prosecuted for "R-ing" people, and that was the way how it was reffered to at court. It would've looked so lame... It's not "R-ing", let's be real, it's "raping". And it's a vile thing, but also it's just a descriptive word for that act. The word on it's own does not offend anybody.
As a near victim of r🦍, who only got saved last second by a bouncer at the club it almost took place at, I have no problems saying that word. I only don't do it, because of the RUclips autocensor. Call a spade a spade. Softening the language doesn't make things go away. It just makes communication harder.
@@LongandWeirdName And I thank you (you're making the world a better place by doing so, I believe), I aplaude you (you have to be brave to do so) and I admire you (I wish I had the courage you have) for what you said - considering the circumstances even more so! Wish you all the good things in life to come!
As he has said, he isn’t censoring those words because he doesn’t want you to hear about it or talk about it; he does it because RUclips is far more likely to demonetize the video (or not suggest it with their algorithm) if those certain words are detected when the automatic transcriptions are made.
@@CraigKostelecky Him? Yes. The easily offended crowd? Not so much. Original Poster was taking this chance to speak about the wider issue. White knights and special precious snowflakes don't want to hear the words. Claim they hurt them. Give them Post-Traumatic Stress. As someone who has been through nearly all of an incident of r🦍, except for actual penetration, someone who's been through being beaten up, intimidated, shown how small, insignificant, and weak I am against a stronger human, I only wish to tell those snowflakes to... get a tree of the pyrus communis species, test the pH of the soil, pick the correct facing side of the yard to plant it, cut off branches and attach ones from a proven cultivar, and grow a pear(Yes. That was a pun. I am aware it's originally a pair). I agree with OP on language getting too soft and find calling it r-word absolutely other-r-worded(slowed down/special needs) and counterproductive. You are just making the other person say it in their head. And they can get things wrong and think you mean a person from a reservation... You know... A first nations guy... An indigenous person? There are so many × words that have locally restricted use that this is making some parts of language impossible to decypher. Say what you mean. The harm it does is lesser than not saying it at all and growing a generation totally unprepared as the topic has never been breached, because some people forbade us from saying those words.
GOD I am so happy you got the joke at the beginning of this bit because literally no one I have shown this to gets that joke.

He really does ooze sarcasm 😅
His use of sarcasm doesn't excuse you from having to think about his message critically. The words have meaning regardless of his inflection

In the echoes of philosopher's minds, a question stirs profound,
Jeremy Bentham's inquiry, in ethics we resound,
Can animals suffer? A crucial query to explore,
As we ponder their sentience, their pain forevermore.
For in the vast expanse of Earth's diverse domain,
We witness creatures in every shape and name.
From soaring birds to graceful deer in forests deep,
Their lives intertwined with ours, a promise we must keep.
With Bentham's fervent plea, we must heed the call,
To recognize their plight, and yet not be enthralled.
For in their eyes, we see reflections of our own,
A shared capacity to feel, to love, to be known.
In slaughterhouses dark, where cries and anguish blend,
We confront our choices, if our hearts we choose to mend.
For what gives us the right to take their lives away,
To prey upon the helpless, with no heed to what they say?
Let empathy guide our steps on this moral path,
no eating pork was from time when they were not properly heated, all large animal meat has worms in them, but pork was often the case for worms.. same as "don't eat anything from sea without scales" is because cooking wasn't perfected
It wasnt shock value for his fans at the time. He'd already done the (Pope) Rant and quite a lot of edgy/"did he really say that" material at this point.
Ah! This guy learned his craft listening to the great Aussie Tim Minchin 😐
Watched many of your clips, really like them. I am an atheist. As much as the last part of his some sounds spiritual it is also very atheist minded. What we put out into the world comes from us and the wonder of the world is simply nature, and can be enjoyed as such with out and other intervention needed.
Question though why the “R” word and the beeping out of it? I understand the profanity but the reality of “ it” can’t be erased or pretended away. I won’t put “it” in as I assume there is a reason and I respect that but I wonder what it is.
Mistrel, very good reaction.
Bro the thumbnail is from welcome to the internet
Bill hicks said the same thing in his last ride but still nobody listens
Oooh Im early!!
Love this song
I love that much of religious commentary is not anti-faith. It's anti-shame.
The lyrics of this song is only shocking in the US. It seems that states so utterly captured by religion finds even the tamest jesting outrageous.
I wish I could thumbs up twice 👍👍
I grew up in a religious house going to Sunday school for years but slowly we stopped going to church just becase of time. I personally think it was a good thing becase it let me form my own opinion about god and death. years before this song came out I came to a similar conclusion for a lot of the video. Mostly the sims part and how doing good just to get to heaven does not work.
I'm sad that I only recently have gained an appreciation for Bo's early material, and he's now gone Billy Joel in lamenting the shit that made him famous.
Btw, if you censor as much as your cousin, only Sesame Street and Bluey will make an ounce of sense afterwards
His most shocking song is eff
his theology is not really sound lol obviously but its not about that so much that as it is the greater hypocrisy of the values and views of the human racist. Its Brilliant.
Heaven is just idealized future society, it's not supposed to be about individuals
not sure if he's an atheist, but i know he's intelligent as fuck
I know its probably gunna get demontized but you should listen to klan kookout by bo too
It's so appropriate that you're wearing a Naruto top during this reaction because Naruto is my religion.
Rape is actual not a crime in the Bible or Quran
Bo grew up in a christian household
+
He is actually right about the heaven thing
But wrong about the overpopulation and gay people thing
Interesting Thumbnail. 😅
Bo was raised christian
Religious Trauma 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why so worried aboutb"curse words"? It's about context with language, not the actual word. I could say stupid and it would be much more offensive than "you're fucking awesome!"
Dude - just do a Bo Burnham-athon. I promise you - it will be cry-worthy chronologically.'
Man why keep ruining all the jokes by pausing every 5 words. It's pretty simple, setup, punchline, pause and comment if you need/want to.
I don't see the problem here, it's his first time listening to the songs and he's pausing to add comment when there's something he wants to comment on. If you want to hear the song without him pausing just go listen to it
@@Pigeon249 When did I say I wanted to hear the song without pausing?
@@AkumaGekido I never said you did, I just said that if you're gonna cry about him pausing the video then just go watch it yourself
@@Pigeon249 First of all nobody is crying. This is a RUclips comment section, therefore I have every right to, you guessed it, comment on the video. Many other reactors manage to post videos such as these without trampling all over the content.
@@AkumaGekido Well then go watch other reactors and stop crying :)
Definitely not his most out their song.
He had a song called the Klan Cookout.
Love Bo bit not a fan of your thumbnails for his reactions.
Using a still from Welcome to the intenet for Gods perspective 🙄 two different eras for him.
Using the video image for Oh Bo but the concert footage. Not great.
I watched because I enjoy Bo. Although I hope you are more honest/considerate hoing forward.
Am I insane? Are these videos not reposts?
He got a “new” channel for all his music reactions. He has been pouring in the reposts with newer videos to have them all in one spot.
DUDE WATCH VIDEO
you can re-read the lyrics. you are missing performance, timing, expression, nuance to READ. this isnt a book. do u think the audience received printouts to follow along with at the show?
i understand why u censor some words but can someone explain me why censor "mastrubation" ? isnt it a world like "Bird" i mean whats bad about that word ?
fun fact but for me this is one of his more harmless videos xD but then i am from europe religion is a thing teached in historiy class for me xD
not you'r first reacction to that one xD really?
I can't watch this constantly censored video. Bo's art is more important than your monetization.
now in the light of star treks progenetors species philosphy in the spirit of the guardians of forever and beneficiant thanos undo the evil of the world in song, just for fun ;)
(Verse)
In the realm of Star Trek's visionary reach,
Where philosophy and grandeur interweave,
The Progenitors shine with wisdom and grace,
Guiding us to a future, unified by embrace.
Their ancient echoes through time's vast hallways,
Remind us of our duty, in these fleeting days,
To stand as guardians, protectors of all,
To answer the call, hear the universe's call.
(Chorus)
With the spirit of the Guardians of Forever,
And the benevolent heart of Thanos, clever,
We sing a song of hope, to undo evil's tether,
Together, we'll transcend, create a world that's better.
(Verse)
With compassion as our compass, we'll boldly go,
Exploring new frontiers, let prejudice erode,
Embracing diversity, in every shape and form,
For a future that's united, where all can be reborn.
In the face of darkness, we'll be the guiding light,
Spreading love and justice, like stars shining bright,
For every life matters, from the smallest to the grand,
In this symphony of existence, let harmony expand.
(Bridge)
In our hands lies the power to shape destiny,
To rewrite the narrative, break the chains that be,
With empathy as our weapon, divisions we'll mend,
A tapestry woven, a universe on the mend.
(Chorus)
With the spirit of the Guardians of Forever,
And the benevolent heart of Thanos, clever,
We sing a song of hope, to undo evil's tether,
Together, we'll transcend, create a world that's better.
(Outro)
So let us sing this melody, across time and space,
A joyous celebration, a harmonious embrace,
In the spirit of Star Trek's legacy we'll soar,
Creating a universe where love and peace restore.
So shelled fish and pork, even to this day, have some of the highest levels of toxicity that humans consume. Pigs digestional system is among the most similar to humans, and shelled fish serve the purpose of filtering the body of water they reside in. Imagine emptying your brita and frying the filter up and eating it. Back in the day the main reasons known for avoiding such foods were that most swine were considered filthy living garbage disposals. A lot of people would become ill form both pork and shelled fish. That's just a small amount of info. I'm not certain off hand how the correlations were then transfered to the Abrahamic Traditions, but I'm certain there's info about it.
pigs are extremely clean animals, the environments humans put them in factory farms leave them no choice to be clean.
Additionally, dietary restrictions were out in place to be a distinguishing marker between God’s chosen people (Israel) and the Gentiles (non-Jews). Ultimately the laws of the Old Testament were there to point to Christ who would fulfill the whole Law on behalf of those who would have faith in Him. You have heard the saying “vote with your dollars”, well, in a similar way you vote with your stomach. God’s people would be distinguishable in multiple ways including even by what they eat, and this further shows Christ’s righteousness because He kept the whole Law perfectly which no mere man could do.
Wow.. using the clickbait thumbnail is low my guy...
Lemme tell you something, MRLBOYD and MRLBOYD's audience: FIrst, I most of the time really enjoy your reactions , but you know what's absolutely diabolical? That in today's America (and thus in the field of social networks in general) you can't actually use words - and most confusingly, you censor not only N-word, F-word. C-word and so on, but even the R-word. Don't take me wrong - you still know them you still use them, you just falsely pretend you don't by not pronouncing them, but at the same time you make pretty sure everyone gets which words you mean. Isn't it stupid? Isn't it hypocritical? What are you trying to pretend? That it doesn't exist? Isnt' that just even more harmful?
I'll tell you the continental European perspective - it most definitely is. And unitll you guys overseas don't do something about it, your culture will remain in it's current confused state.
I'm not saying people should be rude to one another, but there should be no harm seen in just descriptively using words. Wake up, people!
Just imagine if someone was prosecuted for "R-ing" people, and that was the way how it was reffered to at court. It would've looked so lame... It's not "R-ing", let's be real, it's "raping". And it's a vile thing, but also it's just a descriptive word for that act. The word on it's own does not offend anybody.
As a near victim of r🦍, who only got saved last second by a bouncer at the club it almost took place at, I have no problems saying that word. I only don't do it, because of the RUclips autocensor. Call a spade a spade. Softening the language doesn't make things go away. It just makes communication harder.
@@LongandWeirdName And I thank you (you're making the world a better place by doing so, I believe), I aplaude you (you have to be brave to do so) and I admire you (I wish I had the courage you have) for what you said - considering the circumstances even more so!
Wish you all the good things in life to come!
As he has said, he isn’t censoring those words because he doesn’t want you to hear about it or talk about it; he does it because RUclips is far more likely to demonetize the video (or not suggest it with their algorithm) if those certain words are detected when the automatic transcriptions are made.
@@CraigKostelecky Him? Yes. The easily offended crowd? Not so much. Original Poster was taking this chance to speak about the wider issue. White knights and special precious snowflakes don't want to hear the words. Claim they hurt them. Give them Post-Traumatic Stress. As someone who has been through nearly all of an incident of r🦍, except for actual penetration, someone who's been through being beaten up, intimidated, shown how small, insignificant, and weak I am against a stronger human, I only wish to tell those snowflakes to... get a tree of the pyrus communis species, test the pH of the soil, pick the correct facing side of the yard to plant it, cut off branches and attach ones from a proven cultivar, and grow a pear(Yes. That was a pun. I am aware it's originally a pair). I agree with OP on language getting too soft and find calling it r-word absolutely other-r-worded(slowed down/special needs) and counterproductive. You are just making the other person say it in their head. And they can get things wrong and think you mean a person from a reservation... You know... A first nations guy... An indigenous person? There are so many × words that have locally restricted use that this is making some parts of language impossible to decypher. Say what you mean. The harm it does is lesser than not saying it at all and growing a generation totally unprepared as the topic has never been breached, because some people forbade us from saying those words.
@@LongandWeirdName I agree with all of that.
FIRST!
Next time I'll be number one 1⃣
Second.
I just feel none of your vids of genuine lol. You're reactions are too different. Like you already know.
THIRD 😉
