the daughter said “i’m christian” and youtube immediately switched to a pickup truck ad and i was blasted with the Truck Ad Music which is better comedic timing than anything JP has ever done
Same thing with some conservatives and black people holding any kind of power. Some are _deathly_ afraid that black people will enact revenge because that's what _they_ would prefer to do if they had power and were wronged like that, and OFC in a country of hundreds of millions, there are some black people who say it to point at. Doesn't make it true just because a few goons want revenge. They're just cowards who are too stupid to even realize their positions are anchored in fear and lack of fortitude.
The "joke" of JP's skit only "works" because of the actual risk that trans kids make when they come out to their conservative parents. He's basically making fun of the fact that trans people face the chance of being rejected by their families.
Im not trans, so i cant speak from a position of authority, but i think my trans friends are about as sure about their gender as anybody could be. I mean they're willing to face mockery, discrimination, and the constant threat of violence in order to express it genuinely.
As a trans person, Yeah pretty much. I never could even picture myself in my future before transitioning, now I do. I know exactly what I want to look like and where I want to be.
"they're willing to face mockery, discrimination, and the constant threat of violence in order to express it genuinely" -- unlike the brave Xtians/Alphas that see persecution from everywhere (which magically proves their prejudices are 100% true) even as they call every mildest critic a snowflake.
@@jessebrook1688As a teen I was an open cross-dressing goth. Still am. But I also hung out with all the "freaks & weirdos" back during the 80-90's. And the very few bully type people I watched mess with my LGBTQ friends ended up turning out to also be gay 😂 So I always just grew up assuming that anyone that acts so aggressively against homosexuality is just projecting their own personal insecurities and fears. They are jealous that they are honest enough with themselves to be who they really are, and they think they have to keep showing some sorta front for their friends/peers because young people are incredibly stupid sometimes. Plus the people that think violence and hate is okay to use against people they disagree with are also the same people that are terrified that they are going to be, somehow, persecuted for being themselves. All while persecuting others for being themselves. Usually due to religious misinterpretation of old spiritual texts that most can't even truly understand to begin with. So they listen to some random person tell them that their deity says they should hate and fear these others, probably so they have the eyes off of their own misdeeds such as pedophilia or other forms of abuse (religious leaders are notorious for being abusers or scammers).
I love the quote “God made trans people for the same reason he made wheat but not bread and grapes but not wine, so that mankind might partake in the joy of creation”
God testing people is a pretty common theme in the Old Testament. Everything that happened to Job, Abraham being prepared to sacrifice his own son, the suffering of the Israelites. Don't really see how making someone uncomfortable with the gender people assigned them at birth conflicts with any of that.
To extend the metaphor, show me one person who is born fully made. No matter who you are, it takes a lot of work and help fron others to become the person you're meant to be.
What really gets me is that this sketch’s message is like “what if liberals did to their christian kids what conservative christians actually do to their queer kids? Wouldn’t that be really stupid and bad?” but somehow it doesn’t serve as a critique of those conservative parents? Like if someone just described the basic premise without the details to me, i’d guess a liberal made it to point fun at conservatives.
I think Mildred hit the nail on the head: "Wouldn't it be silly if conservatives/Christians were treated this way, as opposed to queer people who deserve it?"
This is actually super funny and relatable to me personally because when I came out at Christian to my parents they refused to acknowledge my identity, forced me back into the prayer closet, forced me to go to Climate Change Church every week by threat, screamed at me that religious ideation is just a result of brain chemicals, and even made me go to a Church approved “counselor” who convinced me all of the problems in my home life were my own fault and shamed me for being a Christian because evolution doesn’t require a god! They only accepted my *religious* identity when it became clear I would end my own life if they didn’t and then still tried to convince me not to fully convert because “they didn’t see me as a full Christian, just more of a church on the holidays type” Oh wait… no… that was when I came out as trans… never mind. This is actually an abhorrent mockery of the abuse I experienced
"Trans people are obsessed with gender reveals" Is a perfect microcosm of his video making style where everyone he disagrees with is obsessed with some stupid belief they're going to push on everyone and he's just a calm reasonable guy who's informing you about adrenochrome harvesting at planned Parenthood. It's wild.
Him thinking that "gender reveals" are something trans people do reminds me of when there was a RUclips video titled "New Sesame Street character, Zeerak, promotes gender equity" and loads of people commented without watching and assumed the puppet was non-binary/trans.
@@DeathnoteBB A lot of us make fun of gender reveals for babies is the worst part about that joke though. He clearly doesn't care to actually learn about what we generally have to say or joke around about
I'm not trans, but I can crack myself up by making faces in the mirror. This is because I am very easily amused. Easy amused to the point where my pronouns might as well be "Hee--Hee". That said, all the nitrous oxide ever produced won't make me laugh at JP Sears.
Also my default to "god doesn't make mistakes" is "yeah, and he made me trans, and gave us the knowledge to make treatments to help us. So like, maybe transitioning is actually a holy act?" and they are usually so blown away by my *audacity* that they don't have a good response.
you're so right though!!! you're right and you should keep saying that as loud as you can, god LOVES when we love ourselves and create ourselves anew in all the different ways we can.
I also love “God gave us wheat but neither bread nor beer, God gave us pigments but not paintings, God created us in His image, so perhaps God is asking us to partake in the act of creation.”
@@eragonarya225 What a beautiful thing to say, I really like that. "Maybe God encourages creativity, maybe God wants us to improve ourselves by learning more about the world and finding solutions to problems."
I have a tongue in cheek video I recently made about Christianity in the US. It's supposed to be funny, but nobody I've showed it to laughed? Probably because trying to reframe Christianity for Christians is seen as an anti-scientific pursuit. The thing that I've come to realize, however, is that you have to explain things to people in terms they understand. Someone with a baby brain needs a baby explanation. Every scientific minded person would scoff at the idea, but the one thing grifters understand is you have to speak your audiences language.
It's common amongst Christian scientists (not scientists who happen to be Christian, Christian science is an actual religion, and it's pretty fucked up. I recommend the knowing better video on it if you are curious). It has caused many deaths. One of which was a kid who was being babysat by a Christian scientist. That Christian scientist let the kid die because they didn't believe in insulin. The father later traveled across state lines to kill the Christian scientist. Despite having premeditated it, traveled across state lines, and having show absolutely no guilt whatsoever,(why would he), the jury found him not guilty. Because of course they did.
What really confuses me is that conservatives don’t seem to get bored with a joke the way anybody else does. No matter how funny you find something, if you see it 100s of times it will get stale. Normal people get annoyed when presented with a joke that was popular 10 years ago but conservatives just keep laughing at the same exact shit over and over. It’s kinda scary.
Same with gamers. If they are into anti-left comunities, you will see them repeating (often at the same time) the same joke over and over. I don't know if it is performative or they really have that closed view of the world.
@@kiriki4558 Its desperation to have some kind of community/certainty in the most limited way possible. Its also a product of the "community building" business model youtubers like the nostalgia critic and ray william johnson created, where you try to force internal memes and references and quips so your followers can all feel like they "get it" and are included in something exclusive. Conservatives today are just brain rotted weirdos who enjoy the consistency of never changing opinions, and laugh not because they think something is funny, but because their bias is being confirmed in a fun setting. Also they laugh at things the way a bully does. They just get enjoyment out of projecting all their insecurities on weaker people. It's really more of a general "enthusiasm" over having something exclusive and tailored just for them, while also attaching to it the same importance and political cause they would for a candidate. They do the same thing to their evangelical churches. And conservative grifts work with such high success rates, because old white people have money to blow and view consumption as the most effective means of activism. Chick-Fil-A do something jesus liberal bad? Buy chicken! Man in dress school choice illegal immigrant? Buy Right wing coffee! Movie make child traffic Joe Biden Cyborg? Buy 20 tickets to Sound of Freedom nobody else will use just to fudge the box office sale numbers cuz that will stop child molesting! So...why wouldnt they also fake laugh at a shitty conservative comedians jokes when cameras are recording? If you really study the right wing comedy crowd, you will catch the delayed facial expressions and looks of intense concentration as they wait for everyone elses social cues on how to react.
It's not about the humour, it's about feeling vindicated. You can grift them so easily cause they'll throw money at you to tell them they're right about everything.
Its the strangest thing, there was a time when he used to be or at least present as an atheist/spiritualist and produced pretty milktoast politically neutral stuff. Then he dropped off for a few months and when he came back, it was like christianity was the running treadmill he had jumped on to launch himself into military grade bigotry.
If it isn't just a cynical grift, then the 'roids/pandemic broke his brain, in my opinion. Perhaps he was already pre-disposed to this idiocy, but those things definitely didn't help.
The whole spiritualist movement moved over to the dark side when the left wing part of the establishment said they had to get their coronavirus vaccine. Alternative medicine and alternative religion always went hand in hand as medicine is a religious practice in the popular eastern and wicca traditions.
The worst part of "gender reveal parties" is the first one was from a woman who had miscarried several times and wanted to celebrate when her pregnancy lasted long enough for the fetus to be gendered. It was actually a pretty sweet idea that got twisted into bizarre shapes by people deciding to co-opt it.
Another thing young people don’t realize is they are only recently possible (both in the scale of human lifetimes, and definitely in the scale of humans having babies). I think the person you are taking about, who had the first idea, did so in 2008. Before that, you didn’t know the sex until the baby was born. So it’s not some hallowed tradition of pregnancy (compared to a baby shower, which traditionally served the purpose of providing the pregnant couple with material resources they needed but wouldn’t otherwise have, and is present in some form in cultures all over the world), but instead an English-language social-media-induced trend.
@@asmodiusjones9563 Yeah, I had someone once tell me I was shitting on "tradition" by not liking them, and I was like...tradition is something that's handed down from one generation to the next. The first people to have had gender reveal parties thrown in their honour are, at this time, barely old enough to even physically produce children.
@@asmodiusjones9563before 2008 they definitely were able to know (it at least pretty accurately guess) the sex of the fetus based on the ultrasound. I was with my mom when she found out my first sibling was a boy via ultrasound in 1998. But I really don't remember gender reveal parties being a thing (I was also a kid and didn't care a bit lol) but I do remember at the baby shower everything was blue and "boy" themed. I think my mom told close family and then some people might have found out at the shower.. I'm really not sure though cause I was 8 😂 I thought the shower was neat cause we got gifts to help cover some costs of a new baby but I think only woman attended? Which I thought was really weird.... But I was 8 and thought there was literally going to be a shower so I was probably disappointed and zoned out so I don't 100% trust my memory lol
@@dandyserenity yes, the technology used to determine the sex existed before 2008, but it wasn’t a part of the social aspect of pregnancy until then. They’d be able to tell but didn’t focus on it or publicly announce it, and when someone was pregnant, you just thought “a baby’s coming” and not “a boy (or girl) is coming”. This was why many newborn clothes are yellow, which is considered gender neutral. I don’t know when exactly they could tell the sex, but I know my mom didn’t know when I was born in the 80s. Humans have been having babies for around 300,000 years, and your parents’ generation is the first in human history to know their baby’s sex before it was born.
Hi, teacher here, and I need to make one thing known: The kitty litter thing was nothing to do with bodily waste. Kitty litter is especially good at absorbing bodily fluids of all kinds. It was placed in custodial closets (which happen to be near restrooms) to soak up potential blood or vomit as a result of injury or sickness, with no apparatus for using it for waste like urine or feces. I've had to debunk this several times to students and parents. The reality is even darker than one might think.
Yepp! And they’ve had it in schools for years! Im 30 and when I was in about 3rd grade I remember a kid getting sick on a carpeted surface and the custodians brought cat litter to soak it up and make it easier to clean. I’ve been asked the litter thing since I came out as trans many times. I don’t have kids so how tf would I know what’s going on in schools!?
I had heard the uptick in kitty litter was for potential school shootings, so that any student who may need to use the bathroom during an attack doesn’t have to just go on the floor. Honestly, your explanation paints a much brighter picture than what I had heard before.
That's true, and a good point, but I think you're being overly-generous. The idea that there are somehow students identifying as cats and being provided litterboxes isn't an innocent misunderstanding (if it was, it'd never have gotten past the "local rumour" stage); it's a deliberate attempt to make up and monetize the cruelest lie possible, because that's easier than working, and the main purpose of fascism is justifying personal laziness.
The thing that really sends me about this line is that omni- is the prefix meaning “all” in “all knowing” not just the om-. It makes it extra silly sounding
@Anonymous-pg2pc Yeah, makes sense somebody with a blackface pfp has such a juvenile "look, somebody broke a social norm!" sense of humor. I'm sure you also cry from laughing too hard every time someone farts.
As a Brazilian who has seen a Santa Claus at a mall fainting from hyperthermia because we practice the Christmas traditions from the US, where is winter in December but high summer in Brazil, I can 100% say seasons are a social construct.
This blew my mind when I first met people from Australia. Summer is December? Christmas is a summer holiday with barbecues and flip flops? Hard for me to understand.
@@asmodiusjones9563 For me it's hard to imagine not having your main holiday when you're able to enjoy a range of leisure activities and fresh foods that are in season. The thing I will never understand is why we still decorate with holly and snowflakes. Is it so hard to come up with our own Christmas iconography?
@@asmodiusjones9563 bruh honestly same. Whenever I see someone from any northern country wearing winter clothes during their winter, it gives me so much anxiety, because you can fry an egg on the sidewalk here. It’s hard to grasp, these moments are such an integral part of our daily lives, we don’t even think about it.
They acknowledge how hard it is to be trans and continue to talk about how easy it is. Coming out as trans can tear your family apart, they get that. Then they say being trans is so easy you can change your gender within an hour.
The narratives play into one another. "You don't struggle. You don't have to fight for this treatment. Being trans is easy and fun and you get a sick kind of satisfaction from breaking your parents hearts and that makes you disgusting and evil." It places the blame on the trans person for transitioning and that being the reason their family is broken. Not the transphobic parents who would rather disown their child than accept that their kid wants to use a different name and pronouns.
Yeah this “skit” makes zero sense if you analyze is for more than several seconds. What is the joke? Looks how funny it would seem if libs treated Christian kids the way we treat trans kids? Wouldn’t that only be funny if it was satire of the right wing reaction? Weird weird weird
it's insane how little limits there are nowadays. just anyone can pop up, say they "iDenTifY" as a comedian, and get a netflix special 🙄 it's Orwell's nightmare. masculinity and marriage are being eroded by these comedian identified losers
the only "one joke" that's ever been funny is "i sexually identify as not funny" with the doge face photoshopped on the attack helicopter... until now. you have finally made the second variant of the "one joke" that is funny. thank you OP, maybe soon we can reclaim the "one joke" (genuinely!)
He used to be actually funny when his bit was joking about his own subculture. Then he jumped on the "Covid is a hoax" bandwagon and his brain melted in like a week.
One of my favorite quotes is “God made me trans for the same reason he made wheat but not bread and grapes but not wine: so that we may also partake in the joy of creation” (HEAVILY paraphrased). It stops every Christian in their tracks, a large part of their rituals is to eat bread and drink wine. Also focusing on trans joy makes their brains explode, apparently.
So it's bullshit right, obviously. You know, because a lot of it is contradict or, couldn't possibly know if certain things are true or factual. Kinda like gender identity. You wouldn't possibly know what anyone other than the body "identifies" with? It quite literally impossible for you to have ever felt anything else other than what you always have since birth. How could you or anyone in existence ever know it "doesn't match"?
@@throeawae2130 it’s not really that convoluted, the second half explains what it’s about. Humans are meant to create and take joy in the process of doing so. I also don’t really see it being pretentious, but what is and isn’t pretentious is kinda up to interpretation.
It is so wild that it is inconceivable to them to be sympathetic to other people's experiences without it being some kind of "what's in it for me?" deal, and the only way they can imagine someone actually being sympathetic and practice tolerance is as a way to take the moral high ground. Over them, specifically. And they're the christian ones. This is the number one reason why they hate liberals. They hate being reminded that all they're living on is spite, and that they're constantly turning a blind eye to suffering while having an internal idea of themselves as "good christians". Everything they say in all this culture war BS are ways that they have resolved the cognitive dissonance between being "good christians" and being actively hateful against and literally dangerous towards everyone who isn't exactly like them in every way.
I've seen it danced around but I want someone to do a good video of how Con-media is deliberately emptying language of meaning to stamp out meaning to make forging bonds, talking about important topics, & building empathy all harder. & strategies to fight it.
conservative humor is all about attacking so its pretty easy to see why they have people like Gutfeld who are far far too obviously seething with venom to be remotely funny.
That's because right wing jokes aren't about the humour, it's about feeling vindicated. It a major part of the reason reactionaries are so easily conned. You tell them that they're always right, they'll shower you with their money.
Does that sign really say "Science is Real"? Like, that's a fucking point of mockery for them? I thought they were champions of biology or whatever any time a trans person tries to speak
In their minds, elementary school biology is real, advanced science is conspiracy and manipulation, because we all know that 8 year olds are at the pinnacle of cognitive performance and it's all downhill from there
@@TheMKCrab I think this breaks down into 2 groups - one sees the virtues being signalled as genuinely virtuous but because they're selfish they see those virtues as wasteful and not worth pursuing, and the other half constantly trip over themselves to make it clear they hate anything even vaguely resembling leftist thought in a way that makes it clear they see opposition to leftists as a virtue in and of itself, one that they are ironically desperately trying to signal that they possess.
@@TheMKCrab There is actually a fairly interesting question regarding the nature of virtue, considering that virtue itself is a social construct, if there *is* any such thing as a virtue that is not, in some way, meant as a social signal to others, similarly to how Erving Goffman examines how we present our actions, identities, etc as social signals. I would argue if "genuine" virtue is juxtaposed to virtue that is enmeshed in social signalling, then genuine virtue does not exist. We're social creatures - pretty much all our actions have an element of social signalling. Of course rightwingers probably think "genuine" virtue is just "being a good christian" or "being a good conservative", which is so fundamentally a social signal to others that you meet certain norms that it is, if anything, more of a virtue signal than anything they complain about.
@@CuriousKey I think you're right, but I think this is more of a semantics debate than anything. I would agree that there is no such thing as genuine virtue, since virtue does imply a level of social interaction and all the stuff you mentioned. However just doing the right thing? Regardless of the evolution of that behavior, true altruism and whatnot, I do think it is possible to do something _only_ because it's the right thing to do. Examples would be anonymous donors. Obviously that's not every anonymous donor, but the desire to just do the right thing without any recognition is a pretty good indication.
That's the recurring thing I notice about Conservative comedy. They can never just let satire just be. Either there has to be someone in the room presenting the "correct" counterpoint, or it has to be delivered in such an over the top manner like "gLoBaL WaRmiNG Is GoiNg To tRiGgER mE. SKREEEEEEEEEE!!!" because they can't have any trust in their audience to intuit which position is the self evidently irrational one.
I feel like it's because they are so bad at satire that if they didn't present the "correct" counterpoint conservatives would get the exact opposite massage they try to send and think conservatives are being satired.
@@clearlynotaneldritchhorror8798satire is dying thanks to them believing in the most irrational and unhinged conspiracies that some people literally made up just to see how stupid people are and how dumb of an idea they will believe...

JP is one of the best recorded examples of descent into Q-hole on the internet. Originally he was a decent sketch RUclipsr, he came to my town years ago making jokes about oil and coal and how conservative the area was, he was making fun of new age western spirituality. At about 5-4 y ago you can start seeing his descent into madness, till this is what he became now, a full on grifter for your Facebook uncle. I know people say he is doing it for coin, but as someone with exposure to other people who descended into Q-anon adjacent cults- I believe JP for real believes what he does (at this point at least). He still has all the content up from older days on his channel so you can see slow and progressive decay of his content, and of himself.
I thing that got me to lose interest in him was his more serious advice videos. One that got me to unsubscribe was where he more or less told a dude that trying to find shared values in a partner is never going to work. Not "limit your values to your core," not "be open to learning from your partner," but pretty much "sincere beliefs lead to loneliness." When he shifted to fascism, I could tell right away that he's only ever pretended to believe anything when it's convenient to do so.
Yes! I used to follow his channel regularly years ago. Then he didn't show up in my feed for a long time, and when I sought him out to see if he was still uploading content, I was horrified to see that he'd gone all the way far right! It was shocking.
I saw a few of these earlier sketches and actually laughed. But a few years ago he started doing bits involving him and a woman as a couple, and the misogyny was instantly apparent. I made arrangements to not have to endure his stuff again. I might be ever so slightly shocked to see how far he's sunken into this , but then again., the brain damage that is the price of maintaining misogynistic "beliefs" will always compound.
The weirdest part is he used to be legitimately super chill, very liberal, and most of his comedy was self-owning satire playing up a hippie/vegan type character, but with main points that were decidedly uplifting and kind. The JP Sears development arc has been one of the absolute weirdest I’ve ever seen. If you go back and watch his really really old stuff - like, years ago - and then watch going forward, you can literally SEE him become radicalized, bitter, and mean.
@heidiyf I don’t really know. A lot of conservative content creators shill for random products, such as JP shilling for supplements and razorblades from strangely obscure and generic companies that are likely created by whoever has him on their payroll.
I do have to give him credit for “prayer is only for the last few minutes of sporting games,” that actual was a little fun in a sea of monstrous atrocities.
I do agree that was the closest thing to a decent joke in the whole sketch, but its another detail that contradicts the rest of what he is saying. If the dad does pray at the end of sports games, then he is christian (or possibly some other religion), and he is just admitting he's not particularly observent of the broader relgious practices. So if he does believe in God, why they are horrified their daughter is a Christian? Is this implying that when a child comes out as gay, their dad will mention he experimented with other men when he was younger, but he is horrified his child would actually want to be in a same sex relationship full time? I know the answer is just he didn't think this through but it opens up so many problems for a quick throw away line.
@@connorsullivan1855I wouldn't say someone who "prays" at the end of sports game is necessarily a believing Christian. The fact is that if you live in the US, Christianity is everywhere in culture. It's in the name of cities (Los Angeles, San Francisco, St. Louis), in the swears you use (goddamn, hell, jeezus), in your calendars, everywhere. So unless you make an active effort to avoid it, it's gonna rub off on you. So even super secular people might still do things that have Christian roots without embracing Christianity at all.
"God doesn't make mistakes" She says, while wearing clothes to protect her from the elements because God didn't give her a natural thick coat of fur or hair.
Humans originally had thick coats of hair most depictions of the first humans had things like a lot of hair everywhere mainly before clothes were created
@@TarrareyoutubeOF Are you implying that at some point God stopped being responsible and/or in control of human development? Because that would then negate the premise of an all-powerful, omnipotent God.
Well see, modern right wing 'Christians' simply misinterpreted concepts like "dominion" and "stewardship" to mean "drill, baby, drill!" It was an easy (and profitable) mistake to make! 🤑
The joke is aggravating in light of the number of conservationists, environmentalists, and climate scientists who are avowed Christians, and whose Christianity informs their commitment to caretaking the planet.
I know that gender reveal parties are not a transgender thing, but I want them to be. they're the only type of person for which a gender reveal is acceptable
They can be. There are trans people who hold second gender reveal parties to celebrate coming out. Typically without burning down 80,000 acres. Also, the mother who first popularized gender reveal parties had originally held one to mourn a miscarriage, and has lamented that people have taken them to such ridiculous extremes. Her own daughter is gender nonconforming as well.
I'm not planning to have kids (kinda hard without a womb) but I'd like to have a sort of gender bar mitzvah if I had a kid - the moment they decide what they are and become an adult their own way. -but without the pollution, glitter, and forest fires, maybe just some balloons in the right color and a cake or something? but that's probably just satan trying to influence me through the god of transgenderism, Baphomet (who is definitely, totally the god of the transgender people, look, he has boobs!)
Yes please! Followed by "gender-warming" parties. It's so expensive to transition & it'd be nice to offset that by gifting things to our loved/liked ones & along with helping with pragmatic stuff, also the wish-list would be nice way of re-discovering/re-exploring personal aesthetics without a "closeted lens" obscuring or distorting aesthetic expression.
@@picahudsoniaunflocked5426 one of my friends from college did that, like a bunch of girls who were in classes with her all got together and basically did an actual 90’s-00’s teen romcom style makeover on her I helped her dye her hair red and taught her how to walk in heels
When she dropped that “I was *born this way*” line my body went into a violent involuntary eye roll so extreme I’m pretty sure I gave my eyes tennis elbow.
My parents tried their hardest to make me “born this way”- in church 3x/week starting at six days old, plus every second of my primary education (which had formal chapel weekly plus religious curriculum and daily prayer). Didn’t work-or at least, only worked until i was 25
the absolute minimum amount of effort would've been to make the line "i was born *again* this way" to make it something approaching a joke but that didn't even occur to Jake Paul Sears because his understanding of his own religion is very nearly as thin as his understanding of The Libs.
@@alisaurus4224 Baptism is an explicit acknowledgement that you are NOT born that way. Confirmation once you are old enough to consent (late teens in my church) is another example.

Two things: 1. In 2007 when I told my parents that I didn't believe in god, my mom reacted with a similar level of upset as the mom character in the sketch. That was followed by years of being point blank told that that's not what I really believe, that I was just confused or indoctrinated or that my beliefs were just a little phase I would grow out of. Thankfully in recent years things have gotten a lot better, but it was tough to be unwillingly dragged into screaming matches like that. 2. Slime Background is back! I missed Slime Background! Nothing against the more recent background, but seeing Slime Background again felt like hearing a great song for the first time in years.
I wonder if that is why there are so many self-satisfied atheists on the innertubes. A level of combativeness I never experienced. My fams were more on the benevolent end of Christendom. The only fear of hellfire I ever experienced was from my great grandmother when she was getting a touch of dementia in my mid-teens. Probably why I remain an agnostic, that and it's of a scientific bent...right? 😁

@@FreeCatCheeseThose "self-satisfied" atheists you speak of are mostly male, so I suspect toxic masculinity has a lot to do with that obnoxious performance they put on (and giving atheists as a group a bad name, unfortunately).

I used to be a fan of his. He actually made a video for me personally! Yes he did! It was years ago and him and his friend addressed my disability of not being able to walk any more(well not very good and I suffer horrible pain from it) but his advice really helped me. We emailed for a while and I was so grateful for him.... Now lately he's been doing this crap. I'm embarrassed to say that I was his fan.

But I'm sad that he has gone this route.
Inspiration comes from where it comes from. The situation with Harry Potter is different, but has some comparable elements. The world of HP drew a lot of people in, and then later, the Rowling came out as a transphobe. But that doesn't take away the previous experiences that people had reading those books and feeling like a part of that community.
@@throeawae2130That "forced down our throats" thing is literally what has been said about women's rights, black people's rights, gay people's rights, etc. The moment a marginalized group starts to become ever so slightly visible, there's always a backlash from people who don't like change.
I came out as trans to my lib parents and I had to leave that hoyse 3 days later. If I would have said that I was christian they would have just asked me to elaborate on why I chose that path. Conservatives don't understand that a lot of liberals still hate on us even if they would not go queerbashing themselves.
That really sucks, and I hope you have a secure found family around you. Transphobia is definitely a problem that extends well beyond the form that exists among religious people. It won't always be that way, though--times are changing, and the U.S.'s youth are so much more aware than in past generations about variations in gender identity and sexuality and how that diversity is natural and normal.
@@throeawae2130there's limits when it comes to child abuse. You can't beat or molest your child as payment for living in your house. In the same way you shouldn't turn your kid out just because they're trans.
@throeawae2130 Would you say the same if this was Atheists doing this to a Christian if not then shut up. Its immoral to kick your child out of your house period especially for disagreeing with ya. I thought ya guys where all about freedom of speech but I guess that doesn't apply to things you disagree with.
Gender identity can change over time if you're genderfluid, just as sexuality can change over time if you're abrosexual. The important thing is that this cannot be forced from the outside, as it's an innate characteristic. The anxiety many conservatives feel over this, and their advocacy for laws to ban certain things so they are not themselves tempted, is a major self report.
Most conservatives I see, I dont think "Theres a Man." I think "fat piece of shit with no fashion sense," and "My god, who let the german and scotch cross breed."
My recently departed father started going bald at 18. When asked how to deal with oncoming baldness by my contemporaries in our late twenties he said" one word: acceptance". It's a great line, and I feel JP might backpedal on his angry and unfunny stance if he just got a haircut, or a number one shave. His thinning, receding straggly hair for someone so gym buff must be a constant source of anguish. I pray his scalp can soon be free.
you can tell just from his demeanor that he is a meth addict. or at least i can. probably/definitely an alcoholic too because you dont age that quickly without plenty of alcohol abuse.
There's a lot of performative Christianity-signalling in this skit. It's weird, almost like JP doesn't actually believe in Christian things but feels compelled to perform Christianity to fit into his shallow, self-aggrandising worldview or something.
I kind of love that the ad break had better comedic timing than the sketch. Like line drop of “I think I’m a Christian” ad right after without missing a beat “Expedia can help you escape”. 10/10 no notes, that’s a funny moment.
The liberal yard sign that has clearly never been in a yard just sitting in the back of the living room kills me because it says they were willing go spend money on liberal decor for the set, but too lazy to even add "matted print" to their search query
For me personally, as an LGBT Christian, I see coming out and living my life as the most Christian thing I can do. The Bible talks about how all humans were made in gods image, so to me, hiding my true authentic self is more or less hiding myself!! That’s what helped me come out :)

I recently met a liberal mom whose teenage son had gotten deep into Christianity and had crossed over into the homophobic part of religion. The son was more pissed about his mom NOT becoming homophobic than the mom was about her son becoming homophobic.
If your son joins a hate-cult, the parent has a responsibility to challenge their beliefs and judge them. An asswipe is an asswipe. Hating gay people is just being an asswipe. So it makes sense a liberal mom would do what libs do best and sit silently by allowing fascism to pour into society.
This is sadly and tragically common for people who don't grow up in religion, they always seem to go to the extremes to prove just how "christian" they are
@@quitti or their parents were just empty brained middle classers who never instilled any guiding principles in their kids to begin with, thus making their children susceptible to indoctrination. Even islamic terrorists noted that targeting the western middle class is most effective because they dont have any real beliefs or principles and will therefore be frightened the most since they will never sacrifice even a small amount of their comforts for any cause, let alone die for one. I grew up working class and never escaped this economic class, and the 1990's "white yuppy" is a prime example of this.

I’m sorry. 💙💚💜 I fell away from faith over a full decade, not even starting until 25, and admitted it gradually, but i did finally have to answer my Mom’s query of “do you still believe in Jesus” with a flat “no.” She didn’t cry in front of me but I’m sure she has, and i find books in their house like “Praying for a Backslidden Child”.
My parents periodically quiz me about what church I'm attending. They think something's up and they think it's atheism. Ironically, I'm still (at least somewhat) Christian! I'm just also queer.
But don't you realize that nowadays the Biden Junta has sent the Atheist Patrols into good white Christian homes to oppress straight white Christians??? (People really believe that shite)
I do love the idea of trans people doing gender reveal parties, like a party to celibrate their gender, heck I signed up for a waitlist for hrt (an annoying thing that i have to do to get the gender care i need, but not the point) and I might throw a little party when i get my girl skittles
my favorite thing abt this skit is that in order for the premise to exist, it has to acknowledge that this is a reality for transqueer kids and ask "OKAY BUT WHAT IF YOU DID THAT TO US HUH? WOULDNT YOU FEEL SOOOOO BAD?" also if you reverse the skit again, it says christian parents should accept their transqueer kids even if thsy dont understand. its actually kind of based and woke if you think abt it
Guaranteed he didn't. Thinking is dangerous to people in hard conservative-ville. That's why they ban books, call teachers "leftists", and start massacres of intellectuals. Or maybe Pol Pot just had a teacher he disliked and that metastasized.
Yeah this skit almost has the vibe of saying “hey this is what you do to trans kids, this is how stupid you sound” only it’s meant to be against trans people? Conservative comedy does not know what it wants
Totally, but it's also a small subset of Christians; smaller even than the anti-vax crowd. There's a ton of older hate-filled conservative Christians on medication for their bad hearts or even on hormone replacement therapy for menopause or low Testosterone for whom this argument should really hit home (y'know, if they stopped to think critically for half a second instead of just going with the old "it makes me uncomfortable because it's unfamiliar so I'll call it bad" approach).
Yup. The same kind of people who microdose their autistic children with bleach to "cure" their autism. (Real thing btw) Dunno how they think some random dudes backyard oil is more safe than multi year/decade testing from the top professionals who dedicate their lives to research. Honestly it's very similar to flat earthers. I think they're just disatisfied with the system or just wanna feel different from the average person. If you dislike current medical standards, vote for it. Republicans love complaining but never actually changing anything to try and fix it. I would know this better than anyone because I was raised in a Christian conservative narrisistic household. Oh yeah, and don't forget when it comes to THEIR health they'll do the recommended thing, but when it comes to anyone else they'll chastise them. Rules for thee but not for me.
I was at some family function (I think it was my wife's dad's funeral party thing people do, I'm autistic idk) and there was a guy there that mas my mother in laws friend. My wife's family is super religious wacky Christians (the kind that speak in tongues). So I am talking to this guy, and he looks sick. He is telling me about a church he starting out in Maine, and how he was diagnosed with diabetes like 10 years ago and god helps keep him from getting sick. He made and active choice to not get treatment. This dude looked sick, and I told him "omg dude, you need insulin!" And he disagreed.
Yep. I get why people compare psychiatric medications to needing insulin or heart pills to live. I don't doubt these analogies help some understand better. Unfortunately, there are those who think prayer is the answer to all ailments. And they force it upon their children and other dependents.

You're the first person I've seen other than me make the argument that 'If God does have a plan why can that not include me being trans, that my journey of self discovery is a part of it?'

minor correction: the seasons aren't due to distance from the sun, but rather the angle to the sun. In summer, your hemisphere is just more directly facing the sun, and in winter it's tilted away, so it's facing the sunlight less directly and therefore it's essentially spread more thinly
To be fair, that's not Ben Shapiro. That's a clone. I do find it strange that every time Ben Shapiro gets cloned, the resulting offspring is a woman. There must be something strange going on with his chromosomes.

Also, I will admit that though I have Christian friends and I am ambivalent to that, every time I’ve had an adult friend who wasn’t Christian convert to Christianity, I’ve eventually had to end that friendship because surprise surprise they hate LGBT+ people now. It’s to the point now that when an adult friend tells me that they have found Christ, I panic silently, and become afraid to hang out with them anymore because I’m expecting the hate to spew at the earliest provocation.
Speaking as a Catholic, converts are the WORST. They are always the most strident self-assured morons. Some right-winger in Canada converted to Catholicism a few years back, and then he actually wrote an op-ed lecturing all the lifelong Catholic politicians (centre and left-leaning) for not being hyper-religious wack jobs like he was. "How can you call yourself a Catholic and keep that PRIVATE??? You're obviously a failure for not forcing all the citizens you democratically represent to adhere to the dictates of the Vatican!!!" He's now since moved onto something else. Of course.
@@wesleywyndam-pryce5305 it is a rare occurrence. Most of them lived here in CA, moved to another state because they couldn't afford CA, the community they move to ends up being super christian and eventually they are converted by that community
@@MichaelHaneline A lot of it is a western thing. We go a bit mental when we convert to a religion.

Its that much of a thing that they specifically TRY to avoid racialising westererns.
I definitely think that the reasons people raised Christian decide to stay Christian is a completely different set of reasons to why someone would be attracted into Christianity from outside. Christianity can be a nice set of rituals you share to keep your family together or a reason to feel important and morally superior over other "lesser" people. Converts don't come from an environment where the former is relevant (unless they marry into it) so the latter ends up being a motivating more often.
Okay, I'm going to admit here that my spouse and I are legitimately worried that one of our kids might fall in with a bad crowd and become a Christian. We genuinely want them to be happy and fully themselves, so it's kinda the only place they can go to rebel.

@@demonsquidgod which is the biggest flaw among the left IMHO. It reeks of "The narcissism of small differences" to me.

I like that he literally used the kindergarten level climate change argument of "It was cold this winter, obviously climate change is a hoax!" and tried to make it look like we're the dumb ones, since he apparently ignores the idea of, you know, basic statistical trends.
Exactly. They’ll ignore that winters are getting colder and harsher while summers get hotter and drier, but then rhetorically ask: “If global warming exists, then why is there ice in my glass?”
if you coming out as trans changed them that much, they never loved you in the first place. I'm sorry your parents are so horrible. stay strong! and remember chosen families are beter than assigned ones.
Little correction about how seasons work: Winter isn't cold bc that side is further away from the sun, but the earth's axis only allows sun light to penetrate the atmosphere at a much flatter angle, where lots of energy gets lost and doesn't reach the ground. Only at the equator, the penetration angle remains relatively constant.
eh isnt it because when the angle changes you have the same amount of sunlight spread over a large area so each plot individually receives less? I did have a professor on climate change tell the class its because the hemisphere gets physically closer which is just like obviously wrong if you know how far the earth is from the sun
Actually, this is the perfect conservative comedy. It takes very little effort, ticks all their favorite boxes (bigotry, victim complex, head empty no thoughts content) and any and all responses can simply be dismissed by "lol, triggered?". This, in a way, is the essence of peak conservative humor. And that's funny... in the "hahaha, we're gonna fucking die" kinda way.
I've made this point before, but one of the many reasons conservative comedy fails so often is that they get so mad at the premise that they forget they were trying to be funny, and this video is the perfect example of that
JP was actually INITIALLY quite funny when he first broke, satirizing new agers actually rather well, but seeing him dive into right wing grifter is just the worst character arc ever, this side of Russell Brand. He's a first class cnt

Thank you for this. I had a vague memory of him being somewhat watchable, and became confused by his newer stuff. Did I change? Was I a bigot in the past? Maybe, but JP's change certainly contributed to my confusion.
m8 year, i remember originally liking quite a lot of his work. his early stuff seemed a lot more lighthearted and just aimed at the ridiculousness of a very specific brand of white, rich, liberal new agers. i feel like i remember even his one joking about cleberities in their mansions during covid was pretty good. dude spiraled so hard that i was confused as heck when i saw this newer stuff pop up.
No, that’s Brett Cooper who works at Daily Wire. It’s not just you though, she really does look more like Ben Shapiro’s sister than his actual sister does.
Quick one, with the earth's tilt, it's not the distance per se, it's that the same beam light that hits 90° on the equator forms a point, while a beam of light hitting the part tilted away spreads over a much larger distance, just like when you take a flashlight and point it straight down at the ground (forming a small circle) or at an angle sideways (now the small circle is a larger ellipsis). So it's not the distance per se, it's less light per area.
Yes-Mildy did mention the axial tilt but idk if they misspoke when saying distance in the next sentence or are a bit unclear. Still light-years beyond Jeepers Beefers’ understanding of, well, anything tho
Thank you! If you didn't say this I was going to have to. Fun fact, during the northern hemisphere's summer, we're actually at a location in our elliptical orbit *further* from the sun than during our winter.

Right? The skit relies on acknowledging how f***ed up the treatment of queer people is.
God. That's a horrifying realisation. Fuck
And they can't even go all the way because then they'd be admitting that bigotry towards queer people exists.
Same thing with some conservatives and black people holding any kind of power. Some are _deathly_ afraid that black people will enact revenge because that's what _they_ would prefer to do if they had power and were wronged like that, and OFC in a country of hundreds of millions, there are some black people who say it to point at. Doesn't make it true just because a few goons want revenge.
They're just cowards who are too stupid to even realize their positions are anchored in fear and lack of fortitude.

idk I'd find that pretty funny, not in the context of the video (which is just transphobic bs) but it tickles me otherwise.
The "joke" of JP's skit only "works" because of the actual risk that trans kids make when they come out to their conservative parents. He's basically making fun of the fact that trans people face the chance of being rejected by their families.
JP's great fear is being treated like he treats LGBT ppl
Im not trans, so i cant speak from a position of authority, but i think my trans friends are about as sure about their gender as anybody could be. I mean they're willing to face mockery, discrimination, and the constant threat of violence in order to express it genuinely.
As a trans person, Yeah pretty much. I never could even picture myself in my future before transitioning, now I do. I know exactly what I want to look like and where I want to be.

"they're willing to face mockery, discrimination, and the constant threat of violence in order to express it genuinely" -- unlike the brave Xtians/Alphas that see persecution from everywhere (which magically proves their prejudices are 100% true) even as they call every mildest critic a snowflake.

And the very few bully type people I watched mess with my LGBTQ friends ended up turning out to also be gay 😂
So I always just grew up assuming that anyone that acts so aggressively against homosexuality is just projecting their own personal insecurities and fears.
They are jealous that they are honest enough with themselves to be who they really are, and they think they have to keep showing some sorta front for their friends/peers because young people are incredibly stupid sometimes.
Plus the people that think violence and hate is okay to use against people they disagree with are also the same people that are terrified that they are going to be, somehow, persecuted for being themselves.
All while persecuting others for being themselves.
Usually due to religious misinterpretation of old spiritual texts that most can't even truly understand to begin with.
So they listen to some random person tell them that their deity says they should hate and fear these others, probably so they have the eyes off of their own misdeeds such as pedophilia or other forms of abuse (religious leaders are notorious for being abusers or scammers).

What really gets me is that this sketch’s message is like “what if liberals did to their christian kids what conservative christians actually do to their queer kids? Wouldn’t that be really stupid and bad?” but somehow it doesn’t serve as a critique of those conservative parents? Like if someone just described the basic premise without the details to me, i’d guess a liberal made it to point fun at conservatives.

They only accepted my *religious* identity when it became clear I would end my own life if they didn’t and then still tried to convince me not to fully convert because “they didn’t see me as a full Christian, just more of a church on the holidays type”
Oh wait… no… that was when I came out as trans… never mind. This is actually an abhorrent mockery of the abuse I experienced
I was genuinely getting upset reading this, until I saw "religious ideation" and realized what was going on

I have a tongue in cheek video I recently made about Christianity in the US. It's supposed to be funny, but nobody I've showed it to laughed? Probably because trying to reframe Christianity for Christians is seen as an anti-scientific pursuit. The thing that I've come to realize, however, is that you have to explain things to people in terms they understand. Someone with a baby brain needs a baby explanation. Every scientific minded person would scoff at the idea, but the one thing grifters understand is you have to speak your audiences language.
I would be careful using that in the American south cause saying something like that would probably invoke gun violence towards you.

It has caused many deaths. One of which was a kid who was being babysat by a Christian scientist. That Christian scientist let the kid die because they didn't believe in insulin.

What really confuses me is that conservatives don’t seem to get bored with a joke the way anybody else does. No matter how funny you find something, if you see it 100s of times it will get stale. Normal people get annoyed when presented with a joke that was popular 10 years ago but conservatives just keep laughing at the same exact shit over and over. It’s kinda scary.
"How do you keep a Tory entertained for life?"
"Tell him a joke when he's young."
Same with gamers. If they are into anti-left comunities, you will see them repeating (often at the same time) the same joke over and over.
I don't know if it is performative or they really have that closed view of the world.
Indeed. South Park made an entire episode out of the one joke in like the late 1990s, and yet...
@@kiriki4558 Its desperation to have some kind of community/certainty in the most limited way possible. Its also a product of the "community building" business model youtubers like the nostalgia critic and ray william johnson created, where you try to force internal memes and references and quips so your followers can all feel like they "get it" and are included in something exclusive.
Conservatives today are just brain rotted weirdos who enjoy the consistency of never changing opinions, and laugh not because they think something is funny, but because their bias is being confirmed in a fun setting. Also they laugh at things the way a bully does. They just get enjoyment out of projecting all their insecurities on weaker people.
It's really more of a general "enthusiasm" over having something exclusive and tailored just for them, while also attaching to it the same importance and political cause they would for a candidate. They do the same thing to their evangelical churches.
And conservative grifts work with such high success rates, because old white people have money to blow and view consumption as the most effective means of activism.
Chick-Fil-A do something jesus liberal bad? Buy chicken! Man in dress school choice illegal immigrant? Buy Right wing coffee! Movie make child traffic Joe Biden Cyborg? Buy 20 tickets to Sound of Freedom nobody else will use just to fudge the box office sale numbers cuz that will stop child molesting!
So...why wouldnt they also fake laugh at a shitty conservative comedians jokes when cameras are recording? If you really study the right wing comedy crowd, you will catch the delayed facial expressions and looks of intense concentration as they wait for everyone elses social cues on how to react.
It's not about the humour, it's about feeling vindicated. You can grift them so easily cause they'll throw money at you to tell them they're right about everything.
Its the strangest thing, there was a time when he used to be or at least present as an atheist/spiritualist and produced pretty milktoast politically neutral stuff. Then he dropped off for a few months and when he came back, it was like christianity was the running treadmill he had jumped on to launch himself into military grade bigotry.
This confused me too. I actually wasn't sure what this guy was doing for a while?
Money isn't strange, it corrupts people
If it isn't just a cynical grift, then the 'roids/pandemic broke his brain, in my opinion. Perhaps he was already pre-disposed to this idiocy, but those things definitely didn't help.
Also my impression. I watched him the first time with his "being weird is ok" tedx talk. He seemed to have done a 100% uturn.
The whole spiritualist movement moved over to the dark side when the left wing part of the establishment said they had to get their coronavirus vaccine. Alternative medicine and alternative religion always went hand in hand as medicine is a religious practice in the popular eastern and wicca traditions.
The worst part of "gender reveal parties" is the first one was from a woman who had miscarried several times and wanted to celebrate when her pregnancy lasted long enough for the fetus to be gendered. It was actually a pretty sweet idea that got twisted into bizarre shapes by people deciding to co-opt it.
Another thing young people don’t realize is they are only recently possible (both in the scale of human lifetimes, and definitely in the scale of humans having babies). I think the person you are taking about, who had the first idea, did so in 2008. Before that, you didn’t know the sex until the baby was born. So it’s not some hallowed tradition of pregnancy (compared to a baby shower, which traditionally served the purpose of providing the pregnant couple with material resources they needed but wouldn’t otherwise have, and is present in some form in cultures all over the world), but instead an English-language social-media-induced trend.
@@asmodiusjones9563 Yeah, I had someone once tell me I was shitting on "tradition" by not liking them, and I was like...tradition is something that's handed down from one generation to the next. The first people to have had gender reveal parties thrown in their honour are, at this time, barely old enough to even physically produce children.
@@asmodiusjones9563before 2008 they definitely were able to know (it at least pretty accurately guess) the sex of the fetus based on the ultrasound. I was with my mom when she found out my first sibling was a boy via ultrasound in 1998. But I really don't remember gender reveal parties being a thing (I was also a kid and didn't care a bit lol) but I do remember at the baby shower everything was blue and "boy" themed. I think my mom told close family and then some people might have found out at the shower.. I'm really not sure though cause I was 8 😂 I thought the shower was neat cause we got gifts to help cover some costs of a new baby but I think only woman attended? Which I thought was really weird.... But I was 8 and thought there was literally going to be a shower so I was probably disappointed and zoned out so I don't 100% trust my memory lol
@@dandyserenity yes, the technology used to determine the sex existed before 2008, but it wasn’t a part of the social aspect of pregnancy until then. They’d be able to tell but didn’t focus on it or publicly announce it, and when someone was pregnant, you just thought “a baby’s coming” and not “a boy (or girl) is coming”. This was why many newborn clothes are yellow, which is considered gender neutral.
I don’t know when exactly they could tell the sex, but I know my mom didn’t know when I was born in the 80s. Humans have been having babies for around 300,000 years, and your parents’ generation is the first in human history to know their baby’s sex before it was born.
And then someone set California on fire.
Hi, teacher here, and I need to make one thing known: The kitty litter thing was nothing to do with bodily waste. Kitty litter is especially good at absorbing bodily fluids of all kinds. It was placed in custodial closets (which happen to be near restrooms) to soak up potential blood or vomit as a result of injury or sickness, with no apparatus for using it for waste like urine or feces. I've had to debunk this several times to students and parents. The reality is even darker than one might think.
Yepp! And they’ve had it in schools for years! Im 30 and when I was in about 3rd grade I remember a kid getting sick on a carpeted surface and the custodians brought cat litter to soak it up and make it easier to clean.
I’ve been asked the litter thing since I came out as trans many times. I don’t have kids so how tf would I know what’s going on in schools!?
I've had to explain we don't have cats in our garage and kitty litter is useful for spilled automotive fluids.
I had heard the uptick in kitty litter was for potential school shootings, so that any student who may need to use the bathroom during an attack doesn’t have to just go on the floor.
Honestly, your explanation paints a much brighter picture than what I had heard before.
That's true, and a good point, but I think you're being overly-generous. The idea that there are somehow students identifying as cats and being provided litterboxes isn't an innocent misunderstanding (if it was, it'd never have gotten past the "local rumour" stage); it's a deliberate attempt to make up and monetize the cruelest lie possible, because that's easier than working, and the main purpose of fascism is justifying personal laziness.
Yup. I’m 45 and remember our janitor using cat litter to soak up puke on a regular basis.

They acknowledge how hard it is to be trans and continue to talk about how easy it is.
Coming out as trans can tear your family apart, they get that. Then they say being trans is so easy you can change your gender within an hour.
The narratives play into one another. "You don't struggle. You don't have to fight for this treatment. Being trans is easy and fun and you get a sick kind of satisfaction from breaking your parents hearts and that makes you disgusting and evil." It places the blame on the trans person for transitioning and that being the reason their family is broken. Not the transphobic parents who would rather disown their child than accept that their kid wants to use a different name and pronouns.
Yeah this “skit” makes zero sense if you analyze is for more than several seconds. What is the joke? Looks how funny it would seem if libs treated Christian kids the way we treat trans kids? Wouldn’t that only be funny if it was satire of the right wing reaction? Weird weird weird
I think it's ridiculous that he identifies as a comedian.
it's insane how little limits there are nowadays. just anyone can pop up, say they "iDenTifY" as a comedian, and get a netflix special 🙄 it's Orwell's nightmare. masculinity and marriage are being eroded by these comedian identified losers
the only "one joke" that's ever been funny is "i sexually identify as not funny" with the doge face photoshopped on the attack helicopter... until now. you have finally made the second variant of the "one joke" that is funny. thank you OP, maybe soon we can reclaim the "one joke" (genuinely!)
He used to be actually funny when his bit was joking about his own subculture. Then he jumped on the "Covid is a hoax" bandwagon and his brain melted in like a week.

God certainly didn't make him a comedian, and as we all know, "He doesn't make mistakes. "
One of my favorite quotes is “God made me trans for the same reason he made wheat but not bread and grapes but not wine: so that we may also partake in the joy of creation” (HEAVILY paraphrased). It stops every Christian in their tracks, a large part of their rituals is to eat bread and drink wine. Also focusing on trans joy makes their brains explode, apparently.

@@throeawae2130 it’s not really that convoluted, the second half explains what it’s about. Humans are meant to create and take joy in the process of doing so. I also don’t really see it being pretentious, but what is and isn’t pretentious is kinda up to interpretation.
@gremlinfriend beautifully put, thank you
i dont think the phrase "tolerance is my number one virtue signal" will ever leave my brain
They really can't gasp the concept of not being a piece of trash
It is so wild that it is inconceivable to them to be sympathetic to other people's experiences without it being some kind of "what's in it for me?" deal, and the only way they can imagine someone actually being sympathetic and practice tolerance is as a way to take the moral high ground. Over them, specifically. And they're the christian ones.
This is the number one reason why they hate liberals. They hate being reminded that all they're living on is spite, and that they're constantly turning a blind eye to suffering while having an internal idea of themselves as "good christians". Everything they say in all this culture war BS are ways that they have resolved the cognitive dissonance between being "good christians" and being actively hateful against and literally dangerous towards everyone who isn't exactly like them in every way.

Conservative "humor" seems to be defined by repeating all the same catch phrases they heard on Fox News.

No, that's serious political discourse. Comedy is when you do it in a funny voice.
conservative humor is all about attacking so its pretty easy to see why they have people like Gutfeld who are far far too obviously seething with venom to be remotely funny.
That's because right wing jokes aren't about the humour, it's about feeling vindicated. It a major part of the reason reactionaries are so easily conned. You tell them that they're always right, they'll shower you with their money.
Does that sign really say "Science is Real"? Like, that's a fucking point of mockery for them? I thought they were champions of biology or whatever any time a trans person tries to speak

remember kids there is no such thing as virtue, just virtue signaling
These people who claim that literally everything is virtue signalling always make me wonder who they think people are trying to signal *to*
@@bosstowndynamics5488 they also make me wonder what they think genuine virtue would look like
@@TheMKCrab I think this breaks down into 2 groups - one sees the virtues being signalled as genuinely virtuous but because they're selfish they see those virtues as wasteful and not worth pursuing, and the other half constantly trip over themselves to make it clear they hate anything even vaguely resembling leftist thought in a way that makes it clear they see opposition to leftists as a virtue in and of itself, one that they are ironically desperately trying to signal that they possess.
@@TheMKCrab There is actually a fairly interesting question regarding the nature of virtue, considering that virtue itself is a social construct, if there *is* any such thing as a virtue that is not, in some way, meant as a social signal to others, similarly to how Erving Goffman examines how we present our actions, identities, etc as social signals. I would argue if "genuine" virtue is juxtaposed to virtue that is enmeshed in social signalling, then genuine virtue does not exist. We're social creatures - pretty much all our actions have an element of social signalling.
Of course rightwingers probably think "genuine" virtue is just "being a good christian" or "being a good conservative", which is so fundamentally a social signal to others that you meet certain norms that it is, if anything, more of a virtue signal than anything they complain about.
@@CuriousKey I think you're right, but I think this is more of a semantics debate than anything. I would agree that there is no such thing as genuine virtue, since virtue does imply a level of social interaction and all the stuff you mentioned. However just doing the right thing? Regardless of the evolution of that behavior, true altruism and whatnot, I do think it is possible to do something _only_ because it's the right thing to do.
Examples would be anonymous donors. Obviously that's not every anonymous donor, but the desire to just do the right thing without any recognition is a pretty good indication.

That's the recurring thing I notice about Conservative comedy. They can never just let satire just be. Either there has to be someone in the room presenting the "correct" counterpoint, or it has to be delivered in such an over the top manner like "gLoBaL WaRmiNG Is GoiNg To tRiGgER mE. SKREEEEEEEEEE!!!" because they can't have any trust in their audience to intuit which position is the self evidently irrational one.
To be fair, the self evidently irrational position in conservative "comedy" is frequently the one they're opposed to
I feel like it's because they are so bad at satire that if they didn't present the "correct" counterpoint conservatives would get the exact opposite massage they try to send and think conservatives are being satired.

JP is one of the best recorded examples of descent into Q-hole on the internet. Originally he was a decent sketch RUclipsr, he came to my town years ago making jokes about oil and coal and how conservative the area was, he was making fun of new age western spirituality. At about 5-4 y ago you can start seeing his descent into madness, till this is what he became now, a full on grifter for your Facebook uncle. I know people say he is doing it for coin, but as someone with exposure to other people who descended into Q-anon adjacent cults- I believe JP for real believes what he does (at this point at least).
He still has all the content up from older days on his channel so you can see slow and progressive decay of his content, and of himself.
I thing that got me to lose interest in him was his more serious advice videos. One that got me to unsubscribe was where he more or less told a dude that trying to find shared values in a partner is never going to work. Not "limit your values to your core," not "be open to learning from your partner," but pretty much "sincere beliefs lead to loneliness." When he shifted to fascism, I could tell right away that he's only ever pretended to believe anything when it's convenient to do so.
Yes! I used to follow his channel regularly years ago. Then he didn't show up in my feed for a long time, and when I sought him out to see if he was still uploading content, I was horrified to see that he'd gone all the way far right! It was shocking.
Qanon anonymous did a good episode about him.
@@TylerWardhaha Thanks! I'll Check it out.
I saw a few of these earlier sketches and actually laughed. But a few years ago he started doing bits involving him and a woman as a couple, and the misogyny was instantly apparent. I made arrangements to not have to endure his stuff again. I might be ever so slightly shocked to see how far he's sunken into this , but then again., the brain damage that is the price of maintaining misogynistic "beliefs" will always compound.
The sketch feels like a sketch that someone would make to make fun of how conservatives see liberals.
tony zaret, especially the wokemyns
If any other person made this it would be great satire, but somehow this is meant to be serious conservative “comedy”
Now that would be gold comedy
The weirdest part is he used to be legitimately super chill, very liberal, and most of his comedy was self-owning satire playing up a hippie/vegan type character, but with main points that were decidedly uplifting and kind.
The JP Sears development arc has been one of the absolute weirdest I’ve ever seen. If you go back and watch his really really old stuff - like, years ago - and then watch going forward, you can literally SEE him become radicalized, bitter, and mean.

I do have to give him credit for “prayer is only for the last few minutes of sporting games,” that actual was a little fun in a sea of monstrous atrocities.
I do agree that was the closest thing to a decent joke in the whole sketch, but its another detail that contradicts the rest of what he is saying. If the dad does pray at the end of sports games, then he is christian (or possibly some other religion), and he is just admitting he's not particularly observent of the broader relgious practices. So if he does believe in God, why they are horrified their daughter is a Christian? Is this implying that when a child comes out as gay, their dad will mention he experimented with other men when he was younger, but he is horrified his child would actually want to be in a same sex relationship full time? I know the answer is just he didn't think this through but it opens up so many problems for a quick throw away line.
fully agree
@@connorsullivan1855I wouldn't say someone who "prays" at the end of sports game is necessarily a believing Christian. The fact is that if you live in the US, Christianity is everywhere in culture. It's in the name of cities (Los Angeles, San Francisco, St. Louis), in the swears you use (goddamn, hell, jeezus), in your calendars, everywhere. So unless you make an active effort to avoid it, it's gonna rub off on you. So even super secular people might still do things that have Christian roots without embracing Christianity at all.

They can be. There are trans people who hold second gender reveal parties to celebrate coming out. Typically without burning down 80,000 acres.
Also, the mother who first popularized gender reveal parties had originally held one to mourn a miscarriage, and has lamented that people have taken them to such ridiculous extremes. Her own daughter is gender nonconforming as well.
I'm not planning to have kids (kinda hard without a womb) but I'd like to have a sort of gender bar mitzvah if I had a kid - the moment they decide what they are and become an adult their own way. -but without the pollution, glitter, and forest fires, maybe just some balloons in the right color and a cake or something? but that's probably just satan trying to influence me through the god of transgenderism, Baphomet (who is definitely, totally the god of the transgender people, look, he has boobs!)
Yes please! Followed by "gender-warming" parties. It's so expensive to transition & it'd be nice to offset that by gifting things to our loved/liked ones & along with helping with pragmatic stuff, also the wish-list would be nice way of re-discovering/re-exploring personal aesthetics without a "closeted lens" obscuring or distorting aesthetic expression.

That really sucks, and I hope you have a secure found family around you. Transphobia is definitely a problem that extends well beyond the form that exists among religious people. It won't always be that way, though--times are changing, and the U.S.'s youth are so much more aware than in past generations about variations in gender identity and sexuality and how that diversity is natural and normal.

Gender identity can change over time if you're genderfluid, just as sexuality can change over time if you're abrosexual. The important thing is that this cannot be forced from the outside, as it's an innate characteristic. The anxiety many conservatives feel over this, and their advocacy for laws to ban certain things so they are not themselves tempted, is a major self report.

There's a lot of performative Christianity-signalling in this skit. It's weird, almost like JP doesn't actually believe in Christian things but feels compelled to perform Christianity to fit into his shallow, self-aggrandising worldview or something.

I recently met a liberal mom whose teenage son had gotten deep into Christianity and had crossed over into the homophobic part of religion.
The son was more pissed about his mom NOT becoming homophobic than the mom was about her son becoming homophobic.
Well, that's just sad.
If your son joins a hate-cult, the parent has a responsibility to challenge their beliefs and judge them. An asswipe is an asswipe. Hating gay people is just being an asswipe. So it makes sense a liberal mom would do what libs do best and sit silently by allowing fascism to pour into society.

also if you reverse the skit again, it says christian parents should accept their transqueer kids even if thsy dont understand.
its actually kind of based and woke if you think abt it
Guaranteed he didn't. Thinking is dangerous to people in hard conservative-ville. That's why they ban books, call teachers "leftists", and start massacres of intellectuals. Or maybe Pol Pot just had a teacher he disliked and that metastasized.
Yeah this skit almost has the vibe of saying “hey this is what you do to trans kids, this is how stupid you sound” only it’s meant to be against trans people? Conservative comedy does not know what it wants

Totally, but it's also a small subset of Christians; smaller even than the anti-vax crowd. There's a ton of older hate-filled conservative Christians on medication for their bad hearts or even on hormone replacement therapy for menopause or low Testosterone for whom this argument should really hit home (y'know, if they stopped to think critically for half a second instead of just going with the old "it makes me uncomfortable because it's unfamiliar so I'll call it bad" approach).

He is telling me about a church he starting out in Maine, and how he was diagnosed with diabetes like 10 years ago and god helps keep him from getting sick. He made and active choice to not get treatment. This dude looked sick, and I told him "omg dude, you need insulin!" And he disagreed.
Yep. I get why people compare psychiatric medications to needing insulin or heart pills to live. I don't doubt these analogies help some understand better. Unfortunately, there are those who think prayer is the answer to all ailments. And they force it upon their children and other dependents.

minor correction: the seasons aren't due to distance from the sun, but rather the angle to the sun. In summer, your hemisphere is just more directly facing the sun, and in winter it's tilted away, so it's facing the sunlight less directly and therefore it's essentially spread more thinly

Speaking as a Catholic, converts are the WORST. They are always the most strident self-assured morons.

Its that much of a thing that they specifically TRY to avoid racialising westererns.
I definitely think that the reasons people raised Christian decide to stay Christian is a completely different set of reasons to why someone would be attracted into Christianity from outside.
Christianity can be a nice set of rituals you share to keep your family together or a reason to feel important and morally superior over other "lesser" people. Converts don't come from an environment where the former is relevant (unless they marry into it) so the latter ends up being a motivating more often.

"God made you as you are! Don't change anything. Also buy some supplements I'm being paid to advertise"
One would think "even conservative Christians must find this 'comedy' unfunny", but that 1M+ view count tells a different story.
Little correction about how seasons work: Winter isn't cold bc that side is further away from the sun, but the earth's axis only allows sun light to penetrate the atmosphere at a much flatter angle, where lots of energy gets lost and doesn't reach the ground. Only at the equator, the penetration angle remains relatively constant.
Well that and the hours of daylight reduce dramatically due to angle of the Earth.
eh isnt it because when the angle changes you have the same amount of sunlight spread over a large area so each plot individually receives less? I did have a professor on climate change tell the class its because the hemisphere gets physically closer which is just like obviously wrong if you know how far the earth is from the sun

Wait, is that Gwen Shapiro? The very real and normal “how do you do fellow kids” streamer in the Daily Wires fake teenagers bedroom set?
No, that’s Brett Cooper who works at Daily Wire. It’s not just you though, she really does look more like Ben Shapiro’s sister than his actual sister does.
Quick one, with the earth's tilt, it's not the distance per se, it's that the same beam light that hits 90° on the equator forms a point, while a beam of light hitting the part tilted away spreads over a much larger distance, just like when you take a flashlight and point it straight down at the ground (forming a small circle) or at an angle sideways (now the small circle is a larger ellipsis).
So it's not the distance per se, it's less light per area.
Yeah. It's the amount of atmosphere the light has to pass through that determines that.
Yes-Mildy did mention the axial tilt but idk if they misspoke when saying distance in the next sentence or are a bit unclear. Still light-years beyond Jeepers Beefers’ understanding of, well, anything tho
