Honestly, if "gender is just an aesthetic", then "misgendering" someone should be about as traumatizing as saying someone is wearing a blue shirt when they're wearing a white shirt. Ie, not at all.
This is why I still don't get what Dev was thinking when he called a "non-binary" guy «a man in a dress», while also using his prefered singular pronouns "they/them" to talk about him. Dev knows it's just an aesthetic so... why?
A safety reminder to guys out there: Do NOT share your emotions with just anyone. Only share them with someone you care about and trust. Bad actors can exploit your emotional vulnerabilities and treat you like garbage. Keep your emotions under wraps and deal with them with a loved one or a therapist that you trust.
Even trustworthy individuals may *not* be trustworthy. There's a point where paranoia becomes justified, and that rubicon had been passed when the leader of D.C. became a rickety old man.
@@gamera5160Assuming untrustworthiness until trust is earned is also a skill that needs to be learned. Trust taking a lifetime to build and a moment to destroy is not some primal flaw or deficiency that needed to be fixed. It's how things should be.
Yep... that's what it used to be... Don't label me!.... Not that I'm a non-binary lesbian demi-sexual boy or whatever word salad you wanted to tack onto yourself.
I grew up in the 80's and 90's; we all had a "don't label me" mentality. And if people called you derogatory names, you either ignored them or beat the crap out of each other til the issue was resolved. Now people don't feel whole until they chop themselves up into dozens of labels and demand you respect every box they're crammed whatever tiny spark of their personality into. Freaking broken people who have zero interest in fixing themselves. They'd rather moan about their self inflicted crisis.
@@sarasunshinemt4444 Also grew up in the 80s. That wonderful time when we were destroying labels because they don't define who you are, just what you are. That's why this is all clear regression and not progressive. Spent decades destroying the idea that a woman wears pink and plays with dolls and boys wear blue and play with cars only to be told now if your male child plays with dolls they're clearly a girl trapped in a boy's body.
This makes me think that all the reeing "normalize" tumblr crowd are just normies who want so desperately to be edgy but have merely adopted the edgy, while we were born in it
"You merely adopted the Edge. I was born in it, molded by it. I did not see the normies until I was already a man, and by then they were nothing to be but *_cringe!"_*
This is standard for globohomo. Globalist homogenization seeks to diversify away all unique culture and make a single one-world culture with no defined borders or norms.
I've always thought the general leftoid is the kid who ammounted to nothing in highschool and suffered from that thirst of relevance, so they latch onto whatever seems like a rightful fight of struggle. They don't give two shits about what they fight for, they care about fighting to remain relevant and feel like they have a place, a band, a sense of belonging wrapped in self righteousness as they fight for the weak and those without a voice. tl:dr leftists are fucking posers and losers in general, nothing new

On a less troll-y note, Dev really hits on something important here. He talks about how the abnormal people of his (our) generation didn’t try to be normal. We knew that normalizing what made us unique would ruin it, and it has! I am and have always been a gamer nerd. I got bullied for it in high school. Now, anyone who plays candy crush on their phone thinks they can claim being a gamer nerd, to say nothing of the fortnight, COD or pub G crowd which consists mainly of what we used to call jocks. The very dude bros that liked to bully us nerds now claim nerd culture as their own now that it’s popular, while only scratching the surface of what it means to be nerds. In short, they ruined it.
Speaking of someone who found D&D in the '70s, nothing ruined so much as it getting more popular. It was built on Conan, Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser, and Vance's Dying Earth, but got taken over by people who think Twilight is high fantasy. The result has been cuddly orcs and handicap accessible dungeons.

A lot of these "things we need to normalize for men" are incredibly self destructive. We do not think or function like women, we don't benefit from the same solutions and the same end up being quite harmful.
@@Matixmer If done minimally and correctly then yes. The ironic thing is that we have basically built a society for women to succeed and then said that the things they do makes them successful. It's like calling it a trophy instead of a participation trophy, and then telling everyone who is not in the class to be like the person who got the participation "trophy". It would have been harder for them to not win it. Or better example, You should behave like a woman to get more swipes on dating apps. Like by virtue of existing on the dating app they would have gotten swipes anyways and we pretend that by behaving like them we will get the same amount when really it's more like a difference of tens and ones instead of the hundreds we are promised. Furthermore men are basically conditioned to solve their own problems whereas women are conditioned to get people to solve their problems.
@@Matixmer I see where you're coming from, that's a good point. Seeing how so many women are on anti depressants this clearly has not benefited them either.
A dark secret most women refuse to reveal is that they constantly and intentionally give each other counter-productive advice. It's no surprise then that lesbians will do the same to men who they envy and in a way see as their competition. They will advise men to become sensitive, incompetent, soft, crybabies for the same reason straight women will advise other straight women to stop wearing high heels, dresses and long hair and instead get a bunch of tattoos, shave their heads and get fat. Besides lesbians, the other group which will engage in this sort of warfare is feminists who have dedicated their lives to the destruction of all that is masculine. To grown men this is no surprise, however to more gullible younger guys this trend has the potential to waste years of their lives before they realize that they're dealing with wolves in sheep's clothing.
Not to mention, even the women who purport to want this don't like it. Women are already needy and emotionally charged. The whole reason men and women compliment each other is because men are _not_ like that. Men are the yin to women's yang, the push to their pull, a complimentary relationship in which both cover each other's weaknesses. Making men more like women just destroys that balance and leaves both sides unhappy. Most women _want_ a stoic, strong, aggressive man. They want someone who doesn't cry all the time and try to "talk things out." They want a man who is affirmative, decisive, fearless, and strong.

The irony is that "Queer" was a synonym for perverse, but it carries a different connotation despite meaning the exact same thing. Yet if you call them a bunch of perverts they get angry.
Remember when "cis" was called "normal"? But it's been so "normalized" that even when talking about the normalization of things and talking about gender we can't say "normal people and trans people."
4:51 There’s a quote by Goebbels that kind of backs this. “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”
I said back in 2018 half jokingly stated that the LGBT community would come after goths and claim them to be apart of a unique gender identity. In a way, "queer" is an umbrella term that imho must include anyone who isn't totally conforming to the predominate cultural standards (i.e. Goths, Punks, etc.) Which of course also includes Tomboys and Femboys since they aren't the norm. That being said, you start to realize that normalizing the LGBTQ community doesn't actually mean making more of the population gay or trans, but rather adds increasingly less associated groups to their ideology to artificially bloat the size of their movement even when added groups don't want anything to do with it. It's why the neo pride flag has a black and brown stripe to try and encompass all black and brown people as somehow being apart of the community, despite most people from those groups being neither gay nor trans.
And despite people from those black and brown people group, such as myself, vehemently oppose being part of a gendermarxism cult, because that's what it is. You can just replace class with gender, bourgeoisie with cis and proletariat as trans/genderdivergent in the communist manifesto and it'll still read as some fairly fitting complaint about how modern society is made for/by cis people so they can oppress the trans people 😂
Also, the black community(mainly the men( are literally some of the most homophobic and potentially transphobic people you'll ever meet. Of course, not all black people are like this(Heck, I'm black myself), but the black community pretty much treats homosexuality like it means being an inferior weak man. Which is kinda ironic when the LGBTQ community tries to include them when most (but not all) people in black community hates them.
“Femboys” has never been a thing until recently. It’s not a sexuality, it’s a social trend meant to emasculate young men and make them aspire to be weak & submissive, rather than becoming strong & assertive.
Normalize (Japanese: ノーマルスキン Normal Skin) is an Ability introduced in Generation IV. It is the signature Ability of Skitty and Delcatty. Normalize makes all moves (including status moves) used by the Pokémon with this Ability become Normal-type instead of their usual type. If Normalize makes Thunder Wave a Normal-type move, Thunder Wave can affect Ground-type Pokémon but not Ghost-type Pokémon, unless the Ghost-type Pokémon is holding a Ring Target or is affected by Foresight or Odor Sleuth. If the move Flying Press is affected by Normalize, it deals Normal/Flying-type damage. If the move Freeze-Dry is affected by Normalize, it will still do super effective damage against Water-type Pokémon. If a Pokémon with Normalize is under the effect of Electrify or Ion Deluge, all of its moves become Electric-type rather than Normal-type.
Ever see Delcaty paired up with Gengar in doubles? You can use skil swap to transfer "Normalize" to gengar, then to the opponent team. It's incredibly gimmicky but it's fun to pull off.
The way they used the word "queer" feels like they are saying "That's ours" That is why they go on and on about something like the new shera is "queer" "shera is so queer!" "shera is so ours!" It fits since when Gundam witch of mercury came out, they were saying how "Queer" Gundam is now, but then when Bandai later said it was "Up to interpretation" they all had a huge meltdown, because it wasn't _theirs_ anymore.
My dad used to refer to himself (jokingly) as a lesbian trapped in a man’s body, but after my sister bit hard into the progressivism bullet, he doesn’t make that joke near as often…
I remember when being into geek culture was like being an outsider to normal pop culture. Now that comic book movies and games are 'okay to love' it loses the edge somewhat.
Just become even geekier. It works! Dive into things the normies don't. Learn to code. Use Linux. Build things. Make cool stuff. Read unpopular books. It's great!
When they say normalize the word they really mean is Sanction. It isn't enough for them that they are free to do the things that they want to do, they want approval. They want people to give their blessing to the things that they want to do. Ideally, they want people to stand up clap and call them stunning and brave.
Which is a contradiction in itself. You can't behave in a way that is sanctioned or approved and be considered brave at the same time. What danger are you facing if you are just doing something that is "normalized"?
I'm old enough to remember when it was ok to be weird, but you also don't get to clutch your pearls and pretend to be a victim when someone calls you weird. You either grow up and embrace your weird-ness, or you stop being so weird if you have a problem with people saying something about it.
@@refundreplay when I was a kid, I liked frogs a lot, I had a huge terrarium with a bunch of weird treefrogs, I talked about frogs all the time, I wore frog shirts to school. And other kids made fun of me for it a little, I never cared, I loved frogs. If it bothered me that much, I would have been less vocal about it and tried to be more "normal". I understood this even as an 8 year old, you don't get to cry and play the victim because you're acting weird and people call you weird.
I like being weird (or what I think is weird). It’s something unique about me. If I were completely normal, life/I would be boring. Other people may not “get it”, but I enjoy it and that’s all that matters. I’m no “arteest”, but I think weird is par for the course with more creative types. It requires being more open and imaginative with ideas than a typical person.
@@markzuckergecko621 That was the point back then. You enjoyed your weird and quirky things no matter what "normal people" thought of it. If you stopped enjoying whatever weird stuff you enjoyed just to fit in, it meant that you weren't that into it in the first place.
It's not about clutching your pearls and pretending to be a victim, it's about being disproportionately likely to become a real victim by virtue of simply being different. Like when geeks got stuffed in lockers for playing weird tabletop and card games. Except with LGBT issues, it's between adults and the intent is to kill and they feel morally obligated to commit violence because they view the existence of other sexualities/genders as an inherent threat to children or culture or whatever hot button issue they've picked this time.
This is why I never understood the online LGBT+ community because it builds your identity around the most surface level aspects of your character. It would be like building your identity around liking to eat pickles or liking to watch anime.
Mhm, watching anime is at least an hobby, or a passion, depending on how much you care, true passions are indeed important aspects of one person's life. What the community does is more akin to build your own identity toward being brown haired
@@byletheisner5006 You're right, but I'll add that for some of the folks in that "community" their hobby or passion is sex or sex related stuff so it sort of follows. The seedier side of the gay club scene does have plenty of casual and hobby type sex. This is not unlike straight club sex but in a way it's almost more consequence free because there's no concern for pregnancy or the need to settle down to raise kids. I'd personally recommend against making your sexuality an identity since it really traps a person into a set of behaviors so that you can express that "identity". Unlike say anime or craft beer (two things someone can share and discuss) one can't explicitly share their identity if it's based on a sexuality unless they make their sexuality very in your face. Though I'll talk explicit sex after enough craft beer but not anime.
@@byletheisner5006 That's true, I wasn't thinking about the nuances. Although, the broader point I was trying to make is that sexuality or gender shouldn't even be considered unless your interaction with that person directly relates to either. (Usually in the context of romance.)
The L's anf G's had their chance, but they wanted to kick the B's out instead of the T's so it sucks to suck, they chose their allies and now they get to suffer the backlash.
You're making a LOT of assumptions there... Ls, Gs, and Bs are based on sexuality and sex attraction. T, Q, and everything filed under + are based on other qualities. There is a natural split there that we should be reinforcing. And not all Ls or Gs bought into the anti-Bs rhetoric, OR chose Ts over Bs. At this point, anyone not explicitly left-leaning probably doesn't care at all WHO within the umbrella you care about and who you don't, as long as you mind your own business and let everyone get back to minding theirs, near as I can tell, lol. We ALL just want to just move on, because we're more than our sexuality.
I mean, that's true for everyone, to a degree. But sometimes people need therapy because they have role models, but the issue is within them being unable or unwilling to identify and emulate good qualities or values.
In just my 30+ years of living, being "against the norm" in society went from living by your own rules (be it good or bad) and not giving a fuck about anyone else, to literally crying about how everything and everyone is hurting you and screaming everyone needs to be more like you. Its insanely fascinating to see such a radical change so quickly.
Jesus Christ, growing up (22yrs old rn) I remember when I used to grow up playing video games, reading goosebumps, bones, going outside and exploring with not a care in the world, worrying about how being a band geek made me a “loser.” Now I see my little sisters social media and see all these queer, bi, sexuality, political stuff on her shit. Makes me think where have the times gone and what ppl like my little sister might fall prey too (luckily my little sister has me and I’ve been guiding her to look past this bs stuff lol).
This is basically Jonathan Pageau's idea of forcing the margins into the center, or inverting the hierarchy. The problem with that is that you can't normalize the margins while simultaneously remaining marginal - which is what the progressives want. There's also the issue with the fact that the marginal itself cannot sustain a society.

I always thought we needed a better term for describing “tomboys”, in part so we can bypass all the “tomboys are actually trans!” brainlets. I feel like including “boy” in the term is just a huge lure for gender activists to latch onto since we’re talking about girls
We already have the perfect term for tomboys that will diswade the trans activists, it's called: keep touching children and you go into the woodchipper.
You don't need a better term, you need less disingenuous people. The issue of equating tomboys with FtMs has only cropped up in probably the last _decade._
I always found it amusing how around the time that people were discovering and freaking out about incels and their apparent _incel culture,_ "chad", a term/concept which could definitely be considered part of incel culture, entered into the mainstream internet lexicon and no one batted an eye.
That is a better adjusted way of thinking. Sometimes normal isn't always good or even sane. We should embrace our differences. We can't strive to become the greater part because that's just like us just wanting to be Farmer John in Animal Farm. It's like the pigs walk upright and then they repeat the same mistakes. I'm not sure that will repeat the same mistakes but there will be an emptiness that they're always going to be some little sand grain of irritation that we're not normal. Either actual or perceived but it's going to be something that will mentally bother such individuals. And that bother keeps going to finding ever- broadening get also incredibly anal trying to find and fix everything that could possibly be misconstrued as a microaggression. All for that drive to fill a void in the heart.
Im not normal in the sense that I don't care why anyone thinks I am not going to fake who I am to fit in the normal. When I think normal I think boring. I guess I am wrong being anti normal now days seems to be more of an extreme them what I remember it to be
Wow, I was JUST mulling over this topic yesterday, didn't realize you were about to make a video about it! I landed on a sort of spicy take (Maybe a mild one, depending on who you're talking to, probably too spicy for the cathedral) but I don't think homosexuality should be normal. I think it's perfectly fine that homosexuals have the standard legal rights that everyone else has, and no one deserves to be persecuted for their personal life choices or the involuntary cravings of their own body, but there is a difference between persecution and ubiquity, and being gay should not be ubiquitous because it is NOT normal in the strict statistical sense. I think it deserves to be framed as "a thing some people do, but most people don't." It shouldn't be on the same level as heterosexuality, and I don't think it needs ANY encouragement or further awareness raising. If gay characters appear in fiction, like an episode of a kids show, go ahead and give them an episode, but stop celebrating it like a brave and bold decision, and stop pretending it's not unusual or strange, because it really is, and make damn sure you emphasize that it's OKAY TO BE STRANGE. The cartoons of the 80s and 90s did this all the time without overly indulging in the strangeness, like "This guy is weird, and I don't like what he likes, but that's okay! We can still be friends!" (And for the love of the Emperor, PLEASE make your gay characters adults or at the very least teenagers. There is nothing normal or even acceptable about depictions of an underage character's SEXUALITY. Key words: SEXUAL and UNDERAGE. If the story is not about COMING OF AGE then you have NO BUSINESS depicting what a CHILD is sexually attracted to. Come to think of it I wonder if this was the end game for all those people that pushed the "homosexuality is genetic" dogma? Since if you were gay at birth then it would follow you were gay as a child, and thus you might be able to detect it or express it? I digress...) Stop making it aspirational, there is no sexuality that you should ASPIRE TO. Start by not clapping like seals whenever a rainbow person does something basic like win a race or get a job, and stop pretending it's some major breakthrough when good things happen to alphabet people. We need to stop "normalizing" things that are NOT NORMAL. They need to be discussed in their proper context and given the proper amount of respect and deference that any other abnormal but acceptable thing should be given, and if it turns out to be unacceptable then fire it into the sun and piss off with the moral relativism you absolute DEGENERATES. Anyway, I guess I just reiterated much of what was in the video, but these were my thoughts on the subject. That's all the hate speech I have for now.
@@DoctorPhileasFragg Honestly? I'm not sure. I do think the "childhood friends" trope in romance is very cute, and it's a wonderful detail, but without thinking too critically about it my intuition says there's already a distinction between "puppy love" and full blown romance, but whether or not that sort of thing can or should be expressed in a homosexual relationship, I don't have a definitive take on that. If we lived in a society where a character had the option of being interested in someone of the same sex as a child but grew up to romantically pursue a heterosexual relationship without a full blown riot breaking out, I think it'd be easier to answer. As it stands, this one's a gray area. To clarify, I am making a distinction between childhood crushes and actual sexual attraction. If there is going to be ANY productive discussion on this subject I think it's important to start there. (Unless someone wants to refute that distinction? Not throwing shade, like I said I haven't thought deeply on it, maybe you have a deeper insight?)
Older generations understood this implicitly. Mel Brooks, A Jew who fought for the U.S. in WWII, made sure to put Hitler, the nazis, or both in every single one of his movies in some way shape or form, simply to mock them. He knew that laughing at them and getting other people to laugh at them was the best revenge that the world could get. He specifically said that his intent over the decades was to make Hitler and his ideologies ridiculous to everyone.
but our mere existence does bring fear. You know those people with the "Normal people scare me" shirts? It brings my heart joy to strike the same terror as barbarians did in ancient times, all without putting any effort into it.
That statement is contradictory and shows exceptional levels of bias. Something cannot be the statistical majority (normal) and also a minority. This statement then means you think what you are *SHOULD BE* normal, which means you're just saying "normalize X."
Funny how fast we went from "Born this way" to "We need to to teach kids about this, so that they can choose to be this way" Too bad no one pointed out that this state of affairs was such a likely possibility beforehand...

Just because you don't teach kids about black people, and punish them every time they bring up how another kid has a different skin color, doesn't mean black people cease to exist. Likewise, refusing to teach kids about LGBT people doesn't mean they don't exist. Neither of these are choices, they're simply aspects of natural human diversity children deserve to properly understand.
You mean the same people that said "if let adults marry then they'll come for the kids' while completely ignoring the prevalence of heterosexual peadoism that existed for thousands of years before gay marriage was cool? Yes, I wonder why no one took them seriously.

Funnily enough, the term “normalize” was used by Netherrealm Studios (NRS), creators of Mortal Kombat, to describe balancing characters in their games and it started with MKX back in 2015. Instead of saying a character was “nerfed” or “buffed”, they were “normalized”, which ultimately meant they were either brought up, or toned down, to be more in the middle of the pack tier list wise. The MK community made fun of this terminology and it became a meme. I wonder if it catching on and being used later has anything to do with that situation. Probably impossible to know but would be a pretty funny happenstance.
This reminds me of an old video my mom showed me when I was a kid. For context, I live in a rather accepting household, filled with different ideas, identities, sexualities, and so on.

When I was yooung, my mom wanted to teach us that being staight, gay, lesbian, or otherwise, and the same message you say. Its okay to be abnormal. The movie was called "Love is all you need" which was about a girl in high school/middle school, living in a world where homosexuality was the standard, the default, and being heterosexual was not only taboo, but according to that worlds Bible, a sin. The girl is in love with a boy, and the boy loves her back, but they can't be together because of there families. She lives in a lesbian household, one occupying the "father" role, the other the "mother" role(I.E. she gave birth to them, while the other made the money) they talk about how a straight couple moved into their neighborhood, and how it might "look bad" for there community. Meanwhile, the girl looks on and stays silent. Eventually, she and the boy are found out, and the boy, fearing retaliation and hatred, decides to fall back to normalcy, being homosexual, and leaves the girl in the dust, as she takes all the blame. The bullying is somewhat hidden from her mothers, but eventually it becomes too much, and she attempts to take her own life, and from there I can't remember what happens next. But the message was a simple one, "Being in love is normal, in fact wanted. Who it is with doesn't really matter that much, so why shame people for it?" This video, litterally, unlocked that memory for me, and only now do I realize what it meant. It IS okay to be abnormal, or strange, I myself have ASD and ADHD, I'm the most weird of weirdness. Maybe I'm alone in this, and because of my background, I can accept new ideas easier, and argue for or against much smoother than others. That is a privilage, and its honestly a privilage the LGBT community can even show themselves in public. But if we shed the useless labels, and keep the useful ones, we might just be able to make a more fair society. Sorry, I'm ranting, and I'm not wise in this subject, but I am entitled to my opinion, and what I advocate for. I hope you all have a great day, and that you all have long, love-filled, successful lives. Have a blessed day!
We use normalising as a term where I work. It describes something negative. "normalisation of deviation" we call it, which is where something that's not right (in the engineering and technical menagement processes, for clarity) ends up being taken as the norm. "it's always been broke" or "it always leaks".
In social science, that's a great description of The Overton Window. Something changes, it's outrageous at first, but then the window moves, mores shift, and the outrageous now becomes the mundane. The novel is old hat. The deviation has been normalized. Now, deviation becomes normalcy. If we make degeneracy normal, we'll no longer be degenerates.
Being a "geek" used to be cool and fun everyone called you a loser for using the internet and playing games, now everyone uses it and it's so normie now.
Not everyone….. I had lotsa geek friends I’d be like “when I’m done with wrestling practice wanna play some vids?” And they’d be like “ok, tomorrow can we go to your house and shoot guns on your porch?” It was a symbiotic relationship.
11:28 we were called "weird" in the 80s and 90s as an insult, but the internet age came along, nerds came to rule at least part of the culture, even so much that normies would eventually try to co-opt some of that identity with stuff like _Big Bang Theory..._ and yeah, in that sense, being the normie is and was the bad thing. But were we the baddies? Too much abnormality, and society is collapsing, abnormies recognize it and begin tradposting, and the cycle continues.
BTW was always a flimsy foundation for gay marriage. You wouldnt legalize murder, rape or child loving on the same basis. You can can argue for gay marriage on other basis but not BTW.
@@rogierb5945 Exactly, someone can have a genetic predisposition towards alcoholism, but that doesn't mean we just accept that as part of "who you are". We set up support groups and try to help you stay on the straight and narrow, not mold society around your needs as an alcoholic.
@@TheRobotButler but it is bad for the health of a society. There's a reason why it was frowned upon. Gay people are not right in the head, their victim mentality means they believe they can do no wrong even beyond their sexuality. They do not take accountability serieously
@@rogierb5945 murder, rape, and being a trans activist causes harm. being gay married does not. BTW was used to reinforce the point, no the justification, that gays exist naturally and no amount of legislation will prevent that.
Upvote for the humor, but real talk? Don't be anyone's simp. Think for yourself, agree where you agree, disagree where you disagree, and discuss EVERYTHING! This is our chance to make things saner and better!
3:45 It's funny because when men do try to talk about their feelings(with tears like Jordan Peterson or without tears like, idk Ben Shapiro? average guys), men get laughed at
Once women discover you're "emotional" they treat you differently, and not in a good way. This has been reported by men more times than I can count and yet this delusional narrative about mens problems being solved by crying persists. I honestly believe this is just another aspect of our increasingly gynocentric culture that can only view men as dysfunctional women and nothing more.
This reminds me of what happens when an area gets gentrified. It goes from being fringe and usually trendy or cool to being overpriced and without a unique culture. People from the outside see something that is interesting and can make them look cool if they interact with it, so they move in and immerse themselves into the area. The thing is that they don't immerse themselves into the culture. They impose whatever they came into the area with onto the residents. They eventually outprice everyone and destroy the cool community that was there before. What Milo said about gay sex made me think about this, it's weird how strong the parallels are. Gay sex used to be a very fringe thing that could make you cool, depending on the time and place, and the gay community had its own very distinct culture. It was its own thing somewhat on the outskirts of society. There was a sense of risk, in a way, and that made it more interesting. But now? It's been extremely normalized. You can go to plenty of places and get screamed at for NOT being gay. Political activists force this shit down everyone's throats, regardless of age or ability to comprehend, they witch hunt and shame. Gay "culture" is just whatever is most degenerate in the traditionalists' eyes. The people who don't partake are just normal people and often get cast out of the gay "community", while the insane activists who aren't even gay are brought in and lauded as heroes. The weird corruption is crazy to me, it's super interesting to see the parallels.
@@notJCS It happens all across the country. A place that I've seen the downfall of in real time throughout my life is Royal Oak in Michigan. It used to be cheap and super interesting to visit. Now it's just a bunch of impossible to afford high rise apartments and lululemon stores. Literally exactly the same as any other surrounding suburban town. They don't even have the cool little restaurants that I enjoyed anymore... or they've all changed to be cheaper and less interesting. Its soul has been sucked out by shitty people who don't have enough self-control to look but not touch.
Yup. This is why gatekeeping is a necessary evil. You need to keep out the posers that are only appropriating your cultures "weirdness" otherwise they are going to get bored of it and start normalizing things.
@@markzuckergecko621 this was my point. Normal people already had a word to describe themselves; we don't need to use alphabet people dog whistles to describe ourselves. To use their terminology to describe normal people in a video ostensibly decrying attempts to normalize unnecessary speech feels hypocritical to me.
@@markzuckergecko621 Except when we're talking also about two-legged and six-legged dogs. Then, specifying four-legged would be necessary. Crying about the use of a term when it's actually appropriate (such as when talking about transcritters) isn't going to persuade any rational person.
Dev has been on the grind lately with these frequent thinkpieces. Respect. Also, these people who demand social acceptance never want to put in the work to act socially acceptable. It's all take and no give. All rights, no responsibilities. Such is the psychology of a Leftist.
They think something being abnormal means it has to be villified. Those are not the same. Normalizing something won't stop it from being seen as weird. Just look at weird food combos.
But weird is vilified quite often. Being a different race, or being involved in interracial relationships, used to be vilified for no other reason than it being weird. Same with homosexuality. Same with believing slaves should actually be free. Same with being disproportionately intelligent. Same with liking nerdy hobbies in public schools. People like vilifying the different, because they don't understand it and frankly don't want to. And far too many of these are still common elsewhere in the world, still today. That's something I think is worth trying to overcome.
@@hagoryopi2101 Yes but the answer isnt to normalize them. It is for people to stop being dicks about it. If the person is still a dick about it shoving it down their throat is the last thing you want to do.
so many good points! modern punk (mainstream) is hated by punks of the true rebellion of the 70s 80s, and that rebellion did not want to be accepted by the masses, we wanted to be left alone by them in a tribal form
A simple rebutal is this: If you wanna normalize stuff, why do people still admire stuff and claim it's Fantastic, Phenomenal, Incredible, Outstanding, Amazing... Stunning and Brave... All these words imply they are beyond the normal, they have qualities that make it SUPERIOR than normal, and by normalizing them, they're void of exceptional qualities.
A lot of leftist talking points seem to be just steamrolling a conversation before it can even happen. Like "gender is a social construct" is purely just to throw off anyone who might want to say "well maybe gender transition isnt the best thing to do for gender dysphoria" because you have to deal with that nonsensical concept first before we can even have a conversation about that. In much the same way pretending that the abnormal is normal acts a similar shield. Because if we pretend that being LGBT is normal then suddenly that's another barrier before we can have arguments against it. Because if something is "normal" its presumably hard to argue against.
But the whole argument that "gender is a social construct" collapses like a house of cards when it comes to transition. If it's a social construct, then you wouldn't need a transition, right? Because there would be no reason to alter your body if that were JUST a social construct.
Im sure there are some places that give those as the numbers; but that does sound way out. 1/1000 to 1/200 people being trans feels way off. If someone said like 1/5000 I could maybe see it. Not to discount trans people, but I really don’t think the numbers are that high.
I'm reasonably sure he missed a zero. I'm pretty sure I saw the same numbers, but it was 0.01 to 0.06 percent. (Which would be 1 to 6 people in 10,000, which STILL seems high to me.) But I think the current definition of trans being basically "anyone not cis" is inflating the numbers, in the same way that percentage of gay people has gone from around 7% in the early 2000s to nearly 25% today, because gay now is "anyone not straight".
Something I noticed when I was watching various youtubers complain about how MSM aligned journos want to transfer anime because of paedophilia. I realized that the same groups were also the ones saying that people who think stuff like Cuties should be praised.
The problem is people aren't comfortable being themselves anymore in a world where we have access to everything and everyone you see how much you dont matter and people can't handle that, so if they become special they will matter, but if everyone is special no one is so instead they just want to fit in and be normal, when like Dev said, if you really were a outsider you reveled in it, you didnt want to be normal being the counter culture was its own strength
Speak for yourself! I certainly didn't realize that bringing in the "normies" to my nerd hobbies would ruin them; I just thought the other kids were idiots for not liking the things I liked.
I did. If you bring someone into something they don't like, it's only natural for them to change it so they do like it. The problem I had was an inability to distinguish who was and wasn't an invader.

“As far as I can make out, “woke” occurs when middlebrow, middle-aged profiteers are looking to suck the energy - not to mention the spending money - out of the “youth culture”. So they come up with this fake concept of seeming to be rebellious when every move they make is a result of market research and a corporate master plan.” Daria Morgendorffer rewritten for a modern audience.
No, I don't agree with this idea that everything bad or annoying that happens in our society is a result of some crazy conspiracy created by rich people. It's not that hard to realize that there is no "big brother" controlling behind the scenes. The truth is that those people on Twitter are shaping the new reality, and as a result, they tie their own noose because they are creating standards that are literally impossible to uphold for normal people. You may be considered an ally, but a week later they move the goalpost, so now you are an alt-right extremist. What I'm saying is obviously an exaggeration but situations like the one with J.K Rowling proved that this community is like a black hole. It's impossible to satisfy them.
Personality, personal style, personal preference, and so on. We had words for all these concepts. But you can be judged on all of these, if you like it or not. Pushing all of this into a protected category is not the way to go. Sadly, that's the way society went, and now we're here.
Yeah, it's interesting how leftoids are trying to fight labeling... By introducing labels everywhere. There have to be the name for everything, you have to describe yourself with everything, your twitter bio need to contain dozen of different informations about you including your mental health issues. Like, seriously?
Compare the "I identify as" people to other examples of collaborators within exclusionary authoritarian regimes in history. How Nazi higherups tortured their own racial policies to keep a few useful "Jews" around, or how the revolutionary Haitian regime declared Poles "honorary blacks" because the few Polish mercenaries on the island helped in their revolt. It may be apocryphal, but I remember seeing a quote from Mao about how any successful ideology will have some hypocrisy ingrained into it and I think it's a perfect thing to keep in mind talking about political radicals.

I'm on the same boat. If cis people left trans people alone, rather than constantly calling them "liars" and "groomers" or even trying to violently intimidate them for simply trying to exist, it wouldn't be so difficult.
@@hagoryopi2101From the other perspective, though, it's the trans people pushing the cis people around, too. It's REALLY REALLY important to try to see this issue from both sides. Because I honestly feel like BOTH sides are feeling intimidated by the other, AND, surprisingly, they're BOTH RIGHT. Trans people are absolutely being threatened by nutso rightists. But cis people are also absolutely being threatened by nutso leftists. I'm standing in the middle, a person devoted to logic and rationality, and TBH, both sides look pretty threatening right now. We really need both sides to step out of their silos a little, and actually try to get to know and understand one another. I, for one, believe this is possible. I hope both sides can give it a serious shot, for the good of everyone.
With heavy metal music I knew it was getting “normalized” when these hipster bands started showing up during the 00’s. With video games I knew it was getting “normalized” when Anita Sarkeesian complained about sexualization as if she was some kind of inverted Mary Whitehouse. With comic books I knew it was getting “normalized” when the non-mainstream independent comic book creators who are part of ComicsGate got called “right-wing”. With the LGBT community I knew it was getting “normalized” when it just returned to celebrating old sex stereotypes, eg. Thinking tomboys are actually men who should become trans.
In some places, this is already happening. Some women are realizing their lives were actually better before than they have been since the 70s. It's not going to be a huge movement, but there's definitely a start to a "return to tradition" mindset out there.

Like by virtue of existing on the dating app they would have gotten swipes anyways and we pretend that by behaving like them we will get the same amount when really it's more like a difference of tens and ones instead of the hundreds we are promised.
Furthermore men are basically conditioned to solve their own problems whereas women are conditioned to get people to solve their problems.
@@Matixmer I see where you're coming from, that's a good point. Seeing how so many women are on anti depressants this clearly has not benefited them either.
A dark secret most women refuse to reveal is that they constantly and intentionally give each other counter-productive advice. It's no surprise then that lesbians will do the same to men who they envy and in a way see as their competition. They will advise men to become sensitive, incompetent, soft, crybabies for the same reason straight women will advise other straight women to stop wearing high heels, dresses and long hair and instead get a bunch of tattoos, shave their heads and get fat. Besides lesbians, the other group which will engage in this sort of warfare is feminists who have dedicated their lives to the destruction of all that is masculine. To grown men this is no surprise, however to more gullible younger guys this trend has the potential to waste years of their lives before they realize that they're dealing with wolves in sheep's clothing.
Not to mention, even the women who purport to want this don't like it. Women are already needy and emotionally charged. The whole reason men and women compliment each other is because men are _not_ like that. Men are the yin to women's yang, the push to their pull, a complimentary relationship in which both cover each other's weaknesses. Making men more like women just destroys that balance and leaves both sides unhappy.
Most women _want_ a stoic, strong, aggressive man. They want someone who doesn't cry all the time and try to "talk things out." They want a man who is affirmative, decisive, fearless, and strong.

4:51 There’s a quote by Goebbels that kind of backs this.
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”
That one was Hitler's
I said back in 2018 half jokingly stated that the LGBT community would come after goths and claim them to be apart of a unique gender identity. In a way, "queer" is an umbrella term that imho must include anyone who isn't totally conforming to the predominate cultural standards (i.e. Goths, Punks, etc.) Which of course also includes Tomboys and Femboys since they aren't the norm. That being said, you start to realize that normalizing the LGBTQ community doesn't actually mean making more of the population gay or trans, but rather adds increasingly less associated groups to their ideology to artificially bloat the size of their movement even when added groups don't want anything to do with it. It's why the neo pride flag has a black and brown stripe to try and encompass all black and brown people as somehow being apart of the community, despite most people from those groups being neither gay nor trans.
Did you mean to say "increasingly MORE associated"?
And despite people from those black and brown people group, such as myself, vehemently oppose being part of a gendermarxism cult, because that's what it is.
You can just replace class with gender, bourgeoisie with cis and proletariat as trans/genderdivergent in the communist manifesto and it'll still read as some fairly fitting complaint about how modern society is made for/by cis people so they can oppress the trans people 😂
ASSIMILATE OR ELSE
Also, the black community(mainly the men( are literally some of the most homophobic and potentially transphobic people you'll ever meet.
Of course, not all black people are like this(Heck, I'm black myself), but the black community pretty much treats homosexuality like it means being an inferior weak man.
Which is kinda ironic when the LGBTQ community tries to include them when most (but not all) people in black community hates them.
“Femboys” has never been a thing until recently. It’s not a sexuality, it’s a social trend meant to emasculate young men and make them aspire to be weak & submissive, rather than becoming strong & assertive.
Normalize (Japanese: ノーマルスキン Normal Skin) is an Ability introduced in Generation IV. It is the signature Ability of Skitty and Delcatty.
Normalize makes all moves (including status moves) used by the Pokémon with this Ability become Normal-type instead of their usual type.
If Normalize makes Thunder Wave a Normal-type move, Thunder Wave can affect Ground-type Pokémon but not Ghost-type Pokémon, unless the Ghost-type Pokémon is holding a Ring Target or is affected by Foresight or Odor Sleuth.
If the move Flying Press is affected by Normalize, it deals Normal/Flying-type damage. If the move Freeze-Dry is affected by Normalize, it will still do super effective damage against Water-type Pokémon.
If a Pokémon with Normalize is under the effect of Electrify or Ion Deluge, all of its moves become Electric-type rather than Normal-type.
Ever see Delcaty paired up with Gengar in doubles? You can use skil swap to transfer "Normalize" to gengar, then to the opponent team. It's incredibly gimmicky but it's fun to pull off.
Normalize is also making the magnitud of a vector 1 while keeping the angle the same.

When they say normalize the word they really mean is Sanction.
It isn't enough for them that they are free to do the things that they want to do, they want approval.
They want people to give their blessing to the things that they want to do. Ideally, they want people to stand up clap and call them stunning and brave.
And if ya don't, it's off to the gulags. Which is what they ultimately want to do to those who won't conform to their abnormalities.
Which is a contradiction in itself. You can't behave in a way that is sanctioned or approved and be considered brave at the same time. What danger are you facing if you are just doing something that is "normalized"?
Exactly.
I'm old enough to remember when it was ok to be weird, but you also don't get to clutch your pearls and pretend to be a victim when someone calls you weird. You either grow up and embrace your weird-ness, or you stop being so weird if you have a problem with people saying something about it.
@@refundreplay when I was a kid, I liked frogs a lot, I had a huge terrarium with a bunch of weird treefrogs, I talked about frogs all the time, I wore frog shirts to school. And other kids made fun of me for it a little, I never cared, I loved frogs. If it bothered me that much, I would have been less vocal about it and tried to be more "normal". I understood this even as an 8 year old, you don't get to cry and play the victim because you're acting weird and people call you weird.
I like being weird (or what I think is weird). It’s something unique about me. If I were completely normal, life/I would be boring. Other people may not “get it”, but I enjoy it and that’s all that matters. I’m no “arteest”, but I think weird is par for the course with more creative types. It requires being more open and imaginative with ideas than a typical person.

It's not about clutching your pearls and pretending to be a victim, it's about being disproportionately likely to become a real victim by virtue of simply being different.

Except with LGBT issues, it's between adults and the intent is to kill and they feel morally obligated to commit violence because they view the existence of other sexualities/genders as an inherent threat to children or culture or whatever hot button issue they've picked this time.
This is why I never understood the online LGBT+ community because it builds your identity around the most surface level aspects of your character. It would be like building your identity around liking to eat pickles or liking to watch anime.
Mhm, watching anime is at least an hobby, or a passion, depending on how much you care, true passions are indeed important aspects of one person's life. What the community does is more akin to build your own identity toward being brown haired
@@byletheisner5006The brown-haired übermensch will conquer the world
@@byletheisner5006 You're right, but I'll add that for some of the folks in that "community" their hobby or passion is sex or sex related stuff so it sort of follows. The seedier side of the gay club scene does have plenty of casual and hobby type sex. This is not unlike straight club sex but in a way it's almost more consequence free because there's no concern for pregnancy or the need to settle down to raise kids.
I'd personally recommend against making your sexuality an identity since it really traps a person into a set of behaviors so that you can express that "identity". Unlike say anime or craft beer (two things someone can share and discuss) one can't explicitly share their identity if it's based on a sexuality unless they make their sexuality very in your face. Though I'll talk explicit sex after enough craft beer but not anime.
@@byletheisner5006 That's true, I wasn't thinking about the nuances. Although, the broader point I was trying to make is that sexuality or gender shouldn't even be considered unless your interaction with that person directly relates to either. (Usually in the context of romance.)

This is basically Jonathan Pageau's idea of forcing the margins into the center, or inverting the hierarchy. The problem with that is that you can't normalize the margins while simultaneously remaining marginal - which is what the progressives want. There's also the issue with the fact that the marginal itself cannot sustain a society.
What an open society does to a culture is it makes it not have a culture

That is a better adjusted way of thinking. Sometimes normal isn't always good or even sane. We should embrace our differences. We can't strive to become the greater part because that's just like us just wanting to be Farmer John in Animal Farm. It's like the pigs walk upright and then they repeat the same mistakes. I'm not sure that will repeat the same mistakes but there will be an emptiness that they're always going to be some little sand grain of irritation that we're not normal. Either actual or perceived but it's going to be something that will mentally bother such individuals. And that bother keeps going to finding ever- broadening get also incredibly anal trying to find and fix everything that could possibly be misconstrued as a microaggression.

It depends on what the abnormal is. If someone just like the same sex, that's fine. But if they want to sexualize children, then it's seriously bad.

Wow, I was JUST mulling over this topic yesterday, didn't realize you were about to make a video about it!
I landed on a sort of spicy take (Maybe a mild one, depending on who you're talking to, probably too spicy for the cathedral) but I don't think homosexuality should be normal.
I think it's perfectly fine that homosexuals have the standard legal rights that everyone else has, and no one deserves to be persecuted for their personal life choices or the involuntary cravings of their own body, but there is a difference between persecution and ubiquity, and being gay should not be ubiquitous because it is NOT normal in the strict statistical sense. I think it deserves to be framed as "a thing some people do, but most people don't." It shouldn't be on the same level as heterosexuality, and I don't think it needs ANY encouragement or further awareness raising. If gay characters appear in fiction, like an episode of a kids show, go ahead and give them an episode, but stop celebrating it like a brave and bold decision, and stop pretending it's not unusual or strange, because it really is, and make damn sure you emphasize that it's OKAY TO BE STRANGE. The cartoons of the 80s and 90s did this all the time without overly indulging in the strangeness, like "This guy is weird, and I don't like what he likes, but that's okay! We can still be friends!" (And for the love of the Emperor, PLEASE make your gay characters adults or at the very least teenagers. There is nothing normal or even acceptable about depictions of an underage character's SEXUALITY. Key words: SEXUAL and UNDERAGE. If the story is not about COMING OF AGE then you have NO BUSINESS depicting what a CHILD is sexually attracted to. Come to think of it I wonder if this was the end game for all those people that pushed the "homosexuality is genetic" dogma? Since if you were gay at birth then it would follow you were gay as a child, and thus you might be able to detect it or express it? I digress...) Stop making it aspirational, there is no sexuality that you should ASPIRE TO. Start by not clapping like seals whenever a rainbow person does something basic like win a race or get a job, and stop pretending it's some major breakthrough when good things happen to alphabet people.
We need to stop "normalizing" things that are NOT NORMAL. They need to be discussed in their proper context and given the proper amount of respect and deference that any other abnormal but acceptable thing should be given, and if it turns out to be unacceptable then fire it into the sun and piss off with the moral relativism you absolute DEGENERATES.
Anyway, I guess I just reiterated much of what was in the video, but these were my thoughts on the subject. That's all the hate speech I have for now.
All of this.
I want to agree with this, but what about stories of childhood romance?
I agree completely with this
@@DoctorPhileasFragg Honestly? I'm not sure.
I do think the "childhood friends" trope in romance is very cute, and it's a wonderful detail, but without thinking too critically about it my intuition says there's already a distinction between "puppy love" and full blown romance, but whether or not that sort of thing can or should be expressed in a homosexual relationship, I don't have a definitive take on that.
If we lived in a society where a character had the option of being interested in someone of the same sex as a child but grew up to romantically pursue a heterosexual relationship without a full blown riot breaking out, I think it'd be easier to answer. As it stands, this one's a gray area.
To clarify, I am making a distinction between childhood crushes and actual sexual attraction. If there is going to be ANY productive discussion on this subject I think it's important to start there. (Unless someone wants to refute that distinction? Not throwing shade, like I said I haven't thought deeply on it, maybe you have a deeper insight?)

Just because you don't teach kids about black people, and punish them every time they bring up how another kid has a different skin color, doesn't mean black people cease to exist. Likewise, refusing to teach kids about LGBT people doesn't mean they don't exist. Neither of these are choices, they're simply aspects of natural human diversity children deserve to properly understand.

Funnily enough, the term “normalize” was used by Netherrealm Studios (NRS), creators of Mortal Kombat, to describe balancing characters in their games and it started with MKX back in 2015. Instead of saying a character was “nerfed” or “buffed”, they were “normalized”, which ultimately meant they were either brought up, or toned down, to be more in the middle of the pack tier list wise.
The MK community made fun of this terminology and it became a meme. I wonder if it catching on and being used later has anything to do with that situation. Probably impossible to know but would be a pretty funny happenstance.
This reminds me of an old video my mom showed me when I was a kid. For context, I live in a rather accepting household, filled with different ideas, identities, sexualities, and so on. I am the middle child of 5 siblings, and by sheer coincidence, the most conservative leaning, and staight man of the house. When I was yooung, my mom wanted to teach us that being staight, gay, lesbian, or otherwise, and the same message you say. Its okay to be abnormal.
The movie was called "Love is all you need" which was about a girl in high school/middle school, living in a world where homosexuality was the standard, the default, and being heterosexual was not only taboo, but according to that worlds Bible, a sin. The girl is in love with a boy, and the boy loves her back, but they can't be together because of there families. She lives in a lesbian household, one occupying the "father" role, the other the "mother" role(I.E. she gave birth to them, while the other made the money) they talk about how a straight couple moved into their neighborhood, and how it might "look bad" for there community. Meanwhile, the girl looks on and stays silent. Eventually, she and the boy are found out, and the boy, fearing retaliation and hatred, decides to fall back to normalcy, being homosexual, and leaves the girl in the dust, as she takes all the blame. The bullying is somewhat hidden from her mothers, but eventually it becomes too much, and she attempts to take her own life, and from there I can't remember what happens next. But the message was a simple one, "Being in love is normal, in fact wanted. Who it is with doesn't really matter that much, so why shame people for it?"
This video, litterally, unlocked that memory for me, and only now do I realize what it meant. It IS okay to be abnormal, or strange, I myself have ASD and ADHD, I'm the most weird of weirdness. Maybe I'm alone in this, and because of my background, I can accept new ideas easier, and argue for or against much smoother than others. That is a privilage, and its honestly a privilage the LGBT community can even show themselves in public. But if we shed the useless labels, and keep the useful ones, we might just be able to make a more fair society.
Sorry, I'm ranting, and I'm not wise in this subject, but I am entitled to my opinion, and what I advocate for. I hope you all have a great day, and that you all have long, love-filled, successful lives. Have a blessed day!
"We knew the normies would f*k it up". Interestingly enough, that's exactly what happened to nerd culture.
We use normalising as a term where I work. It describes something negative.

Not mentally ill to the point of considering mutilation as a form of therapy?
That ain't happening yet because that would actually mean that people would have to be at least one of the three.
@@FireGlitch haha fair, I fit the term cis, but I missing at least one of those three
Progs having no respect for established definitions yet again
Being a "geek" used to be cool and fun everyone called you a loser for using the internet and playing games, now everyone uses it and it's so normie now.
Not everyone….. I had lotsa geek friends I’d be like “when I’m done with wrestling practice wanna play some vids?” And they’d be like “ok, tomorrow can we go to your house and shoot guns on your porch?” It was a symbiotic relationship.
11:28 we were called "weird" in the 80s and 90s as an insult, but the internet age came along, nerds came to rule at least part of the culture, even so much that normies would eventually try to co-opt some of that identity with stuff like _Big Bang Theory..._ and yeah, in that sense, being the normie is and was the bad thing. But were we the baddies? Too much abnormality, and society is collapsing, abnormies recognize it and begin tradposting, and the cycle continues.
I think when pepole say "Normalizing" what thay mean is De-Stigmatize.
Yuri Bezmenov warned about this.
"Born that way" was always a strategic lie that could be disposed of without a second thought.
BTW was always a flimsy foundation for gay marriage. You wouldnt legalize murder, rape or child loving on the same basis. You can can argue for gay marriage on other basis but not BTW.
@@rogierb5945 Exactly, someone can have a genetic predisposition towards alcoholism, but that doesn't mean we just accept that as part of "who you are". We set up support groups and try to help you stay on the straight and narrow, not mold society around your needs as an alcoholic.
@@nuclearsynapse5319 bad analogy. Alcoholism is objectively bad for your health. Being gay is not.
@@TheRobotButler but it is bad for the health of a society. There's a reason why it was frowned upon. Gay people are not right in the head, their victim mentality means they believe they can do no wrong even beyond their sexuality. They do not take accountability serieously
@@rogierb5945 murder, rape, and being a trans activist causes harm. being gay married does not. BTW was used to reinforce the point, no the justification, that gays exist naturally and no amount of legislation will prevent that.
Normalize being an SFO simp
No, be a fan. Fans are able to criticize their heroes when they say something dumb, whereas simps defend them even when they're being retarded.
Upvote for the humor, but real talk?
Don't be anyone's simp.
Think for yourself, agree where you agree, disagree where you disagree, and discuss EVERYTHING! This is our chance to make things saner and better!
3:45 It's funny because when men do try to talk about their feelings(with tears like Jordan Peterson or without tears like, idk Ben Shapiro? average guys), men get laughed at
“Ugh why don’t men talk about their feelings more?”
“Ugh why are there so many circles online where men talk about their feelings?”
Women.
Once women discover you're "emotional" they treat you differently, and not in a good way. This has been reported by men more times than I can count and yet this delusional narrative about mens problems being solved by crying persists.
I honestly believe this is just another aspect of our increasingly gynocentric culture that can only view men as dysfunctional women and nothing more.
This reminds me of what happens when an area gets gentrified. It goes from being fringe and usually trendy or cool to being overpriced and without a unique culture. People from the outside see something that is interesting and can make them look cool if they interact with it, so they move in and immerse themselves into the area. The thing is that they don't immerse themselves into the culture. They impose whatever they came into the area with onto the residents. They eventually outprice everyone and destroy the cool community that was there before. What Milo said about gay sex made me think about this, it's weird how strong the parallels are. Gay sex used to be a very fringe thing that could make you cool, depending on the time and place, and the gay community had its own very distinct culture. It was its own thing somewhat on the outskirts of society. There was a sense of risk, in a way, and that made it more interesting. But now? It's been extremely normalized. You can go to plenty of places and get screamed at for NOT being gay. Political activists force this shit down everyone's throats, regardless of age or ability to comprehend, they witch hunt and shame. Gay "culture" is just whatever is most degenerate in the traditionalists' eyes. The people who don't partake are just normal people and often get cast out of the gay "community", while the insane activists who aren't even gay are brought in and lauded as heroes. The weird corruption is crazy to me, it's super interesting to see the parallels.
This is exactly what happened to Austin, Texas & Taos, N. M.
@@notJCS It happens all across the country. A place that I've seen the downfall of in real time throughout my life is Royal Oak in Michigan. It used to be cheap and super interesting to visit. Now it's just a bunch of impossible to afford high rise apartments and lululemon stores. Literally exactly the same as any other surrounding suburban town. They don't even have the cool little restaurants that I enjoyed anymore... or they've all changed to be cheaper and less interesting. Its soul has been sucked out by shitty people who don't have enough self-control to look but not touch.
Yup. This is why gatekeeping is a necessary evil. You need to keep out the posers that are only appropriating your cultures "weirdness" otherwise they are going to get bored of it and start normalizing things.
I unironically want to normalize bursting into song and dance in the street to express your emotions like a musical
You sound like a fun friend!
I can get behind that.
Dream big my friend. Dream big.
Syndrome said it best, “when everyone is super, no one is.”
Cis isn't a word. Stop using it to describe normal people.
you don't control what i speak
It's like referring to a dog with 4 legs as a 4 legged dog. It's not inaccurate, it's just unnecessary.
@@markzuckergecko621 this was my point. Normal people already had a word to describe themselves; we don't need to use alphabet people dog whistles to describe ourselves. To use their terminology to describe normal people in a video ostensibly decrying attempts to normalize unnecessary speech feels hypocritical to me.
@@markzuckergecko621 Except when we're talking also about two-legged and six-legged dogs. Then, specifying four-legged would be necessary.
Crying about the use of a term when it's actually appropriate (such as when talking about transcritters) isn't going to persuade any rational person.
@@markzuckergecko621 i would like to know the origin of this term. I never hear of it except few years ago
Dev has been on the grind lately with these frequent thinkpieces. Respect.
Also, these people who demand social acceptance never want to put in the work to act socially acceptable. It's all take and no give. All rights, no responsibilities. Such is the psychology of a Leftist.
They think something being abnormal means it has to be villified. Those are not the same.
Normalizing something won't stop it from being seen as weird.
Just look at weird food combos.
But weird is vilified quite often. Being a different race, or being involved in interracial relationships, used to be vilified for no other reason than it being weird. Same with homosexuality. Same with believing slaves should actually be free. Same with being disproportionately intelligent. Same with liking nerdy hobbies in public schools. People like vilifying the different, because they don't understand it and frankly don't want to. And far too many of these are still common elsewhere in the world, still today. That's something I think is worth trying to overcome.
@@hagoryopi2101 Yes but the answer isnt to normalize them. It is for people to stop being dicks about it. If the person is still a dick about it shoving it down their throat is the last thing you want to do.
Gaming has become normal.... and look at its current state.
I hate the word "normalize," every time I hear that word, I just rolled my eyes. 🙄
I can sympathize. I knew the word "problematic" and thought it a fine term, before the Left fastened onto the word and completely ruined it.
so many good points! modern punk (mainstream) is hated by punks of the true rebellion of the 70s 80s, and that rebellion did not want to be accepted by the masses, we wanted to be left alone by them in a tribal form
Normalize attempting to integrate into society.
You’re always allowed to make ez videos Dev. You’re authentic enough and real enough for it to be edifying.
A simple rebutal is this:
If you wanna normalize stuff, why do people still admire stuff and claim it's Fantastic, Phenomenal, Incredible, Outstanding, Amazing... Stunning and Brave... All these words imply they are beyond the normal, they have qualities that make it SUPERIOR than normal, and by normalizing them, they're void of exceptional qualities.
A lot of leftist talking points seem to be just steamrolling a conversation before it can even happen. Like "gender is a social construct" is purely just to throw off anyone who might want to say "well maybe gender transition isnt the best thing to do for gender dysphoria" because you have to deal with that nonsensical concept first before we can even have a conversation about that. In much the same way pretending that the abnormal is normal acts a similar shield. Because if we pretend that being LGBT is normal then suddenly that's another barrier before we can have arguments against it. Because if something is "normal" its presumably hard to argue against.
But the whole argument that "gender is a social construct" collapses like a house of cards when it comes to transition. If it's a social construct, then you wouldn't need a transition, right? Because there would be no reason to alter your body if that were JUST a social construct.
No way the rate of being trans is 0.1 to 0.6. Especially 0.6 is way too high and would be order of magnitudes higher than intersex
It fluctuates rapidly due to canadianese factors
Im sure there are some places that give those as the numbers; but that does sound way out. 1/1000 to 1/200 people being trans feels way off. If someone said like 1/5000 I could maybe see it.
Not to discount trans people, but I really don’t think the numbers are that high.
@@danielutriabrooks477The more trans people the less trans people. I guess.
@@josevictorribeirolisboa7576More cheese=Less cheese
I'm reasonably sure he missed a zero. I'm pretty sure I saw the same numbers, but it was 0.01 to 0.06 percent. (Which would be 1 to 6 people in 10,000, which STILL seems high to me.)
But I think the current definition of trans being basically "anyone not cis" is inflating the numbers, in the same way that percentage of gay people has gone from around 7% in the early 2000s to nearly 25% today, because gay now is "anyone not straight".
Something I noticed when I was watching various youtubers complain about how MSM aligned journos want to transfer anime because of paedophilia. I realized that the same groups were also the ones saying that people who think stuff like Cuties should be praised.
The problem is people aren't comfortable being themselves anymore
in a world where we have access to everything and everyone you see how much you dont matter and people can't handle that, so if they become special they will matter, but if everyone is special no one is so instead they just want to fit in and be normal, when like Dev said, if you really were a outsider you reveled in it, you didnt want to be normal being the counter culture was its own strength
The spite on your voice when quoting thoughtslime is majestic.
Speak for yourself! I certainly didn't realize that bringing in the "normies" to my nerd hobbies would ruin them; I just thought the other kids were idiots for not liking the things I liked.
They were, and the only way for them to like those things would be to mke them stupid, like them (pardon my elitism)
I did. If you bring someone into something they don't like, it's only natural for them to change it so they do like it. The problem I had was an inability to distinguish who was and wasn't an invader.
How are the nerd hobbies doing now?
@@3eve0n That honestly never occurred to me. All the friends I brought into my hobbies liked them and I never would have dreamed of changing the rules of those games for them if they didn't.
@@foisopracurtir6389 Still going strong as far as I'm concerned; in fact, I just got back from ROBA, the biggest annual boardgaming convention in the world! I take the popularization of nerd culture as proof that I was right all along and the other kids didn't know what they were talking about.
Normalize sexuality being a private friggin matter.
I got asked what my pronouns were because I'm.. a woman who doesn't wear makeup often and has short hair *gasp* Oh the horror... How dare I not perform these idiots idea of womanhood 24/7 and instead be.. Myself.
You can’t be a tomboy, butch, or even a lesbian. It’s straight to being trans for everybody, lol.
“As far as I can make out, “woke” occurs when middlebrow, middle-aged profiteers are looking to suck the energy - not to mention the spending money - out of the “youth culture”. So they come up with this fake concept of seeming to be rebellious when every move they make is a result of market research and a corporate master plan.” Daria Morgendorffer rewritten for a modern audience.
No, I don't agree with this idea that everything bad or annoying that happens in our society is a result of some crazy conspiracy created by rich people. It's not that hard to realize that there is no "big brother" controlling behind the scenes. The truth is that those people on Twitter are shaping the new reality, and as a result, they tie their own noose because they are creating standards that are literally impossible to uphold for normal people. You may be considered an ally, but a week later they move the goalpost, so now you are an alt-right extremist. What I'm saying is obviously an exaggeration but situations like the one with J.K Rowling proved that this community is like a black hole. It's impossible to satisfy them.
Personality, personal style, personal preference, and so on. We had words for all these concepts. But you can be judged on all of these, if you like it or not. Pushing all of this into a protected category is not the way to go. Sadly, that's the way society went, and now we're here.
Yeah, it's interesting how leftoids are trying to fight labeling... By introducing labels everywhere. There have to be the name for everything, you have to describe yourself with everything, your twitter bio need to contain dozen of different informations about you including your mental health issues. Like, seriously?
Yea that guy should feel “unmanly” for enjoying pegging, definitely should feel that way.
I believe Stoicism is a virtue, but I think we should make a difference between that and being unable to deal with your own feelings.
I think Bill burr said "bring back shame"
Compare the "I identify as" people to other examples of collaborators within exclusionary authoritarian regimes in history. How Nazi higherups tortured their own racial policies to keep a few useful "Jews" around, or how the revolutionary Haitian regime declared Poles "honorary blacks" because the few Polish mercenaries on the island helped in their revolt.
It may be apocryphal, but I remember seeing a quote from Mao about how any successful ideology will have some hypocrisy ingrained into it and I think it's a perfect thing to keep in mind talking about political radicals.

Wasn't being trans or gay special? Like, not everyone should be things? Because otherwise the parades and the months won't mean anything.
"Instead of Pride Month, it would be Everyone Month," like what??
Normalize being self-reliant and leaving other people the hell alone.
I'm on the same boat. If cis people left trans people alone, rather than constantly calling them "liars" and "groomers" or even trying to violently intimidate them for simply trying to exist, it wouldn't be so difficult.
@@hagoryopi2101From the other perspective, though, it's the trans people pushing the cis people around, too.
It's REALLY REALLY important to try to see this issue from both sides. Because I honestly feel like BOTH sides are feeling intimidated by the other, AND, surprisingly, they're BOTH RIGHT.
Trans people are absolutely being threatened by nutso rightists. But cis people are also absolutely being threatened by nutso leftists.
I'm standing in the middle, a person devoted to logic and rationality, and TBH, both sides look pretty threatening right now.
We really need both sides to step out of their silos a little, and actually try to get to know and understand one another. I, for one, believe this is possible. I hope both sides can give it a serious shot, for the good of everyone.

With video games I knew it was getting “normalized” when Anita Sarkeesian complained about sexualization as if she was some kind of inverted Mary Whitehouse.
With comic books I knew it was getting “normalized” when the non-mainstream independent comic book creators who are part of ComicsGate got called “right-wing”.
With the LGBT community I knew it was getting “normalized” when it just returned to celebrating old sex stereotypes, eg. Thinking tomboys are actually men who should become trans.
I wonder if it will all come full circle and women will become tradwives to be "not like other persons"
Doubtful. They're too lazy to really put in the work beyond _maybe_ adopting some of the aesthetic.
In some places, this is already happening. Some women are realizing their lives were actually better before than they have been since the 70s.
It's not going to be a huge movement, but there's definitely a start to a "return to tradition" mindset out there.
