Greetings guys, gals, and non-binary pals and welcome back to another video!
I hope that you are well, and I hope that you are fighting because there is a lot to be fighting for.
As usual, there will be a link in my description to the page on my website with a bunch of petitions, donations, emails to send to MPS, etc, etc.
A couple of months ago, or last month, or a time...
I don't know. I don't know what month it is. I don't know what day it is. I don't know anything anymore.
Time makes no sense.
People are selling Christmas chocolate and like, advent calenders...
I'm pretty sure it's September.
There's still like... Halloween before there's Christmas.
What is going on?
I don't like it. Stop it.
Anyway. A couple of months ago, or a month ago, as I said before,
I did a video about this Twitter account called "Hot Masculinity Takes" and...
You all seemed to like it!
I thought it was quite funny.
So, I'm gonna do it again. Because, you know, that's what YouTube is, right?
Wash, rinse, repeat.
I-It's been months since I did it, which means I get to do it again.
But before we get into it, I would like to take a moment to say thank you to today's sponsor, Surfshark!
If you've been subscribed to me for a while, you would know how much I love Surfshark
And I really love working with them because it is something that I genuinely use all the time.
If you somehow don't know what Surfshark is, it is an app or browser extension that allows you to change your location to just about anywhere in the world.
Through doing this, it opens up a whole range of content that you normally would not have available to you.
My favourite aspect of this is being able to go onto Netflix and access different libraries from different countries that you would not normally be able to access.
So you can see shows that you normally wouldn't be able to see.
It's very sneaky. I love it very much.
Back in New Zealand, they took New Girl, which is my comfort show, off of Netflix and I cried.
Uh, but with Surfshark, I could change to be in the US and I could watch New Girl 6 times a year like I always do.
It also encrypts all of your data!
Which means that when you use public wifi, which is not always the most secure, no one can get in and see or steal any of your information.
Which is really, really cool
That's great. I love not having my information stolen.
You can use Surfshark on an unlimited amount of devices at any given time.
Which, again, amazing. Because I like to multitask. I like to watch Netflix while I'm on my phone because I can't focus on one thing at a time.
If this sounds good to you, which, I don't know why it wouldn't...
You can use my code QUEERKIWI and get 83% off as well as your first three months completely free
It is an incredible product and an incredible deal for you, as well as really helping me and my channel out, and I appreciate it very, very much.
So thank you Surfshark! And let's get on with the video!
What's wrong with Starbucks?
Why does everyone hate on Starbucks all the time?
Like, it's literally just coffee.
It's bad coffee.
So, if you're gonna hate on Starbucks, at least hate on them for the right reasons.
I don't understand where this came from.
Why did Starbucks become a thing that "only young women go to"?
"Only women drink Starbucks" What?!
It's literally coffee!! It's coffee.
And like, "Men used to spit in their hands and make de-" That's gross.
Why were you doing that in the first place?
I feel like that should not have been happening.
That's probably a good thing that happened out of Covid, is like, why are you doing that?
And why do you miss that?
Like,,,
It just, to me, I'm sorry, but like, seems a lil bit sus for you to be missing having another man's saliva mixed with your own.
You know? Is that not like,,,
Is that not like a little bit gay?
I'm really sorry that you can't do that anymore.
Maybe we should just be keeping bodily fluids to ourselves.
That's just like- Hot take: Keep your own bodily fluids to yourself.
Like, especially in public.
Just food for thought.
What?
What the f_ck does that- What did I just read? What does that mean?
Can someone please explain to me- If you understand what they're trying to say, let me know. Because...
I have no clue.
At all.
Why did we have to turn, like, baby gear into like... war?
Why is-
When you think "How do I appeal to men?", why do you go to violence and war?! That's-
That's terrifying. Uh, we should really be fixing that.
If- If the first thought of like, "men" is "violence and war", we have done something very wrong.
And we have.
Obviously. Because that is what happe- We need to fix that immediately.
Uh, there is nothing wrong with just normal baby gear.
If you feel embarrassed to like, go out with your baby because it's like...
Not... camouflage...
Don't be a father.
Period.
Don't have children.
If the only way to make you care for your child is to think about violence and war- No.
Ab- No.
Just don't have kids.
What the f_ck did I just read?
What? How?
How did this come into your brain?
How do you just sit there and think of that? Like- "I wish..."
"That vaccinated people were bugs. I wish I could crush vaccinated people like a bug."
Huh?!
How did you think of that? Where did that idea come from?
It's really terrifying and weird, honestly.
Are you okay?
No I do- I don't think so.
I think that you need therapy.
Like, genuinely.
Please seek help.
I know I say that a lot. And I'm not saying it to make, like...
It seem that mental health is bad or that, like...
"You need therapy" is like a "lol therapy". No. No, no.
I genuinely think they need therapy.
And I think that everyone should get therapy.
And maybe that would prevent people from ending up in this position in the first place.
Therapy should be free and accessible to everyone.
Literally, everyone should get therapy. It would solve so much.
So many problems in the world, if we all knew how to like, interact with one another and have, like, the skills that you learn in like DBT
Oh my god.
Everyone should get therapy. If you have it available to you: Therapy.
This man especially definitely needs therapy.
And to be vaccinated. He also really needs to be vaccinated.
Someone just like, shoot him with a vaccination dart, see what happens.
Maybe he'll shrink.
Now the people on the Twitter seem to think this was real. Like, people were saying that it was real. The original poster said it was real.
I...
Refuse to believe that this is a real post.
There is no f_cking way this is a real thing that someone said.
So I'm gonna chose to read it as like, satire.
As them making a commentary on the fact that literally...
Everything you do is feminine.
You can't do anything and be considered a "real man"
Like, you can't even drink Starbucks.
Without your masculinity being questioned.
It's ridiculous. It is ridiculous.
If you like Starbucks you're "not a real man."
Like music, you're "not a real man".
If you like fashion, you're "not a real man".
If you...
Don't know how to change a tire, you're "not a real man".
If you like your wife or your girlfriend, you're "not a real man".
"Real men don't love things, that's some feminine sh_t."
It's- I think it's a commentary on that, and if it is, it's quite funny. If it's not...
Bro?!
You realise that most of the music industry is men, right?
The music industry is ent- like male-dominated.
I study music at Uni. There is not a single woman in the music department.
Like, not a single one.
I'm doing a paper right now about women in music, and our lecturer started it with "I know I'm not a woman."
"So I know this is like, mansplaining."
"But we don't have any women here, so you have to listen to me."
Like there-
It's all men. It's all men.
It's ridiculous how much shit men "can't do" because it's like- it makes you "not a real man"
You're using being a woman as an insult.
Firstly.
Who cares if you do feminine things?
What do you have against women?
Why do you hate women so much? Why is it bad to act like a woman?
Even if it's not like act- You know what I mean.
Anyway, I know this is a little bit shorter than normal.
I'm trying not to apologise at the end of every video.
Cat gets mad at me.
Uh, because I don't know if you've noticed, but at the end of every single video I do, I apologise for the video.
And is me...
Talking about apologising at the end of a video, technically kind of apologising for the video?
Maybe.
But I don't know how to end a video without apologising. This is really hard.
Buy my plushie!
AAAAA Dwaekki!!!
And my phone, oh my god, it's a nightmare.
A reminder that my kiwi plushies are still up and available.
They're available for like... ten more days, I think?
They're from makeship.com
I absolutely love her. I love her so, so much.
You only have 10 days left to buy her, so...
Go grab one if you want one.
Thank you for all the support they've gotten so far.
They- I'm blown away. I'm glad you love them as much as I do.
They are my best friend. They are my twin.
So... thank you for your support. I am glad that you're enjoying them.
