      Labelling people who don't want children being indoctrinated a suicide cult as "phones" is dismissive, patronizing, and closed minded.
      People don't want their kids consuming media engineered to require their brains. In the case of earthspark, our children are being confused into thinking there are more than two human sexes.
      You can't look at earthspark alone and ignore the greater context. The reality is that real life children are being mutilated and chemically castrated by renegade psychologists, endocrinologists, and surgeons who are making a fortune sterilizing children for life.
      If you're going to ignore the fact that doctors are cutting off penises, healthy breast tissue, forearm skin, and rectal colon tissue, then you have no business calling anyone a "phobe" just because they have a problem with minors being indoctrinated into this death cult of sexual hedonism with a 41% suicide rate.
      Allowing your children to watch this show is the same as giving your child a revolver with 2 bullets and telling them to play roulette.
      I am not a "phone." I am a detransitioned trans person who realized the lies and debauchery of this cult. It's not science, it's psucoscientific barbarism. The shee number of satanists and BDSM cultists in the community is terrifying. It is absolute debauchery. Keep your children far, far, far away from the LGBTQ. They're here, they're queer, they're coming for your children. Because they're literally groomers.

    On the note of the Prime mention. It'd be really nice to maybe see you give your perspective either on that series or any number of Transformers media. The way in which you present your thoughts is equal parts insightful and entertaining. I love that you don't hold back on what you don't like but are also willing to praise what you do and go against the grain when you feel it's necessary. You've always joked that you have shit opinions but frankly I'd say it's more you have very intriguing ones.

      TFP had a *lot* of potential. Sadly, budgetary constraints did a lot of damage to how it could have gone. [Looking at you, Predacon movie and season 2.] >> They had a *perfect* Starscream Redemption arc hook in season two that the series would have been *far richer and better* for, but budgetary constraints made them backpedal. I am *mad to this day* about how he was handled in Predacons Rising.

    "Theme" doesn't have to refer to societal/political critique and parallels; a better term for that is allegory. Several of the shows you discredit for lacking in "theme" actually showcase numerous themes and thematic ideas but instead lack a direct allegory (or at least one you want to talk about).
    I'm not saying this to, like, discredit the video out of a hatred for Earthspark or something (haven't watched it cause I don't watch much and was just curious about the video), but just to correct a mistake that seems to get more common. People really don't know what allegory means in my experience. Maybe even me, idk. It can make conversations confusing when people use a single term for several distinct things.

    My assumption for Earthspark in Legacy is that the show’s characters will become available for the Legacy treatment once the show has ended so Hasbro isn’t competing with itself with simultaneous Legacy and show line releases
    I would love to see it we are in desperate need of a voyager fem seeker mold for Skywarp and Nova Storm, and Hashtag and Jawbreaker could honestly use better figures. Mainline Earthspark Twitch, Thrash, and Nightshade are great though. Also the Tarantulas and Megatron designs would be fantastic to see in Legacy.

    Hearing what you said near the end of this video, growing up surrounded by people who don't accept queer people. Its incrediblely similar to myself.

I'm a queer Pansexual male whos been thinking about changing gender and my parents are both very republican, racist, homophobic, transphobic people. They raised me and my brother to believe the same, if it weren't for the access I had to the internet.

    For me, the entire show keeps making lines towards acceptance and understanding one's own identity. I loved Nightshade, but I resonated more with Jawbreaker trying to find their alt mode. It was a journey to self identity that seems to speak more to the heart of Transformers and modern humans. Finding how to represent yourself. Which leads perfectly into Nightshade in the next episode.

    When I heard how those phobes say "Why are you showing them gender stuff to a seven year old since it will just confuse and distress them!?"... I came up with this following response: "Should we teach kids about the concept of death as 7 year olds?". Death is distressing. I was in the 3rd grade when my maternal grandma died, I had to first hand learn about the concept of death (I had both grandfathers pass even before that but I wasn't old enough to understand the concept yet), and it caused me to have a lot of trauma back then.
    I say this because life does have distressing and confusing moments. To sugarcoat life as sunshine and rainbows will make children unable to understand sadness or pain. If you don't understand distress, can you really be safe from it, avoid mentally shutting down or even self harm since you have no way to cope?
    Gender is a similar eternal concept, we cannot avoid it, and people can get hurt if they do not understand it (whether it be their own gender or the gender of others). People who want to bury knowledge of gender expression are basically saying they don't want kids to handle and cope with distress in their lives, which can lead to them getting harmed anyways. Life is not about innocence, it is learning and understanding, to cope with one's own existence in the world and make the best of it.

As someone who identifies as nonbinary myself, Nightshade has been such a huge point of connection for me in the show, and it's mind boggling to see so many people get so angry over the 5 second clip about pronouns without even watching the actual show at all.
    I didn't know Hasbro were so supportive of the whole thing, that's actually really nice! I feel it's easy to assume these kinds of shows being inclusive come about through writers pushing against the higher ups, so it's a massive breath of fresh air to hear that Hasbro are *that* on board with the whole thing. It makes me feel even more confident that I stumbled into the best possible brand-based community I could have 💙

The show gets shit on just because of one character and "INDOCTRINATION OF CHILDREN", but to me, serves to humanize NBs against the never ending hordes of Culture Warriors. Either from the Right or Left themselves. It's basically saying "Hey, we're just like you, just call me this."
    The show has deeper things to talk about too. It teaches kids about PSTD, Toxic Relationships (not exclusively romantic ones), responsibility and accountability. I swear Grimlock and Jawbreaker's episode specially is pretty emotional besides JB's childish nature. Everyone but Jawbraker saw Grimlock as a monster in the last part of that episode and walked on eggshells around him, or we're not putting lethal force out of the table.

Some parts were good, and Megatron was gold, I just didn't really like the terans, mostly because the designs are a bit too "made for toys."

They annoy me in the way they (Evergreen designs) don’t try and deviate from the g1 designs, it’s playing safe. Too safe. Innovation and change is what makes me love Transformers.
    Stylisation also gives me an ick. It looks like a mess of shapes, not a character in my eyes.

    Ok this may be a Transformers video but you showed and mentioned Doctor Who multiple times and it's topical, so I'm gonna throw in my one and a half cents.
    I remember seeing so many videos about Doctor who "going woke" with the Jodie Whittaker era, and while there's probably many other things wrong with Chibnall's run, I don't believe that's one of them. Especially considering that I'm watching through the new series of DW right now from the very beginning, and I can safely say it's been pretty damn woke this whole time. No less than two openly bisexual characters in the first season alone, very unsubtle depictions of space slavery later on, the list goes on. In fact, looking at how it handles its continuity in regards to the original series, one could almost compare it to how Earthspark's continuity is related to Transformers media before it.

      People also dislike nightshade as they feel as if that's they're only personality trait. As bassicly for season 1 part 1 and season 1 part 2 bassicly everyone they met for the first time they said hi I'm nightshade and my pronouns are they/them. And to most people they find that's un-normal as you would normally not just say your gender the second you meet someone. And most people don't do that irl so they find nightshade was just a way for hasbro to make more cash. And that might be true as once the hype for nightshade went down they bassicly stopped being a character in later parts besides when they would protect the humans without saying a word

    To tell the truth, I believe that being a queer allegory is a whole small fraction of one of the main themes of Earthspark, that theme being prejudice in general. The allegory can also refer and be more accurate to racism and xenophobia issues that are still a big problem. I don't care about Nightshade, so I don't focus on him and if I think there is something wrong with them I explain to my children or other children why, but without creating more hate. I can see things wrong on both sides of this "war", all this woke and non-woke, hate and polarization, all of this only creates more hate, disrespect and disunity.

    Some might call me weird, but I think Earthspark is a great way to not only introduce younger audiences to transformers but also helping kids understand how gender identities work (I think gender identities is what it is called, correct me if I am wrong)
    When I was first introduced to Gender Identity, I laughed at it. Like a complete asshole. I didn’t understand how it worked so I would make fun of people online and in-person. Nothing bad really happened to the people I was rude to ,but I now realize how bad I had treated them. Of course, I apologized to them. It still didn’t change my wrong doings. I have know changed my ways and I am much more respectful to people with different gender identities and prefered pronouns.
    Of course there will still be people who will not change or accept their opinion on people or bots having different genders that they were not assigned to at birth. I was once in a G1 fan group that would say that any Earthspark fan that is an adult was a Pedo or a sex offender. I know this is a long comment, but what I’m saying is some people accept other people for who they are and some don’t.
    It shames me for being in the same community that openly shames people for being who they want to be.
    Anyways thank you for reading my comment.

    Good points. Gonna be honest I'm still not sure how to handle the situation as it's a big one for debate. Personally I still feel you treat others on how they treat you. Again good video even explaining a few things you don't really get to hear from both sides. Like I recall seeing a situation of someone being put on the street because of their orientation by their own family. Just, some things that don't seem to get brought up yet should. Only way I know how to stop hatred is looking beyond the bias, tell it "no" that it stops with you, forgive others often, and keep moving forward.

      Kids shows in general actually tend to have some really solid writing when people care because a kids show is not a show that is for babies, it's a show where its target audience is kids and that doesn't mean so much you babify something as it means you have to present concepts and such in a way that kids can understand. It's what makes a lot of older Disney media or even stuff like Gravity Falls work. It's for kids but it never talks down to them.

    But Robots don't really have genders? Unless the Earthspark Transformers need a male & female bot to reproduce like humans...then their genders actually serve a purpose and aren't just character designs & aesthetics? Like Cyclonus & Tailgate fell in love & became a couple...without needing genders or pronouns? Right?
    It's like when Joel kissed Tom Servo on MST3K...it didn't make Joel "Gay" because he may has well been kissing a toaster.

    My problem with the nightshade coming out feels awkward and unnatural as in the conversation doesnt feel like something 2 individuals would have.
    I think i feel this way because of Optimus's hesitance at the start. That stutter feels unnatural becauseof the following:
    1. He doesnt stutter with the other terrans when interracting with them or their pronouns.
    Ok so how should it be handled?
    Optimus: uses either he/him or she/her
    The girl should interrupt him and tells Optimus that he misgendered Nightshade and the rest of the conversation goes on as it originally was.
    I think that this feels less awkward and actually is more realistic of a conversation.
