Greetings guys, gals, and non-binary pals and welcome back to another video!
I hope that you are well and I hope you're fighting because there's a lot to be fighting for.
It is still... June.
Obviously.
We all know this.
Which means that it is still Pride Month!
Which means we're going to do today, the best way to celebrate Pride Month,
The thing that we gays do best,
Laugh at straight people.
So that's what we're doing today.
I am back with r/AreTheStraightsOkay
It has taken a bit of a hiatus for like three or four months now.
So, you know, I thought it was about time to bring it back.
What better time than now? There is no better time than now.
So here we are today.
Who can guess what the answer is gonna be?
Who- Who thinks that today is the day that the straights will be okay?
Because my vote- My votes on no.
But before we get into it, I want to take a quick moment to tell you about today's sponsor, Me!
Myself. I am today's sponsor.
Brought to you by... this guy!
Look at him!!!
Is he close enough to the camera?
In case you haven't heard, I have designed this plushie with Makeship for Pride Month,
And they are available only until the end of the month, and then they are gone forever.
She's got this cute little rainbow interior.
A little kiwi fruit, you know? I love her. I'm very proud of her.
10% of all proceeds will be donated to Rainbow Youth,
Which is an organisation in New Zealand that aims to help queer youth in whatever way they need, so...
Grab your plushie.
Have an excellent addition to your pillow hoard.
Uh, you'll also be supporting myself, as well as a good cause.
So get them quick before they're gone forever.
Now that I'm done talking about myself, let's get into the cringe!
So here we have a family of three.
Mother, father and child.
Uh, she is wearing a t-shirt that says, "I hate him" pointing at her partner.
He is wearing a t-shirt saying "I hate her" pointing right back at her.
And in the middle is a child wearing a t-shirt that says but "they do it for me" with a smiley face, which...
Is terrible. This is ridiculous and terrible.
But the funniest part about it to me is the fact that they're wearing arr- arrows saying, "I hate her, I hate him" pointing at each other,
But there's actually a child in between them.
So it looks like both of them are pointing at the child saying they hate them, which...
Is terrible but very funny to me.
You shouldn't stay with someone that you hate just because you have a child.
Because all that does is teach the child that, you know, loveless relationships are normal and good.
And you should accept and expect them.
And that is not something you want to be teaching a child.
You should teach a child to leave a relationship once it becomes toxic and unhealthy and once you're no longer happy.
Because although it will be upsetting for a child to have their parents separate, because that's upsetting.
It is ultimately going to be less traumatic overall because having parents that hate each other,
Living in the same house, always fighting while you're there in the middle,
It's not a fun time. Not a good experience.
Rather emotionally traumatic and just not fun.
I'd rather have two happy parents that live separately,
Than two angry parents that make my life miserable because they're always fighting. You know?
Everyone's happier if you just...
Just- Just go your separate ways.
Okay? Just do that.
"I will ignore him all day so he knows I am mad-"
[Dog crying in the back]
Biscuit, you're interrupting.
Hi, bud!
Waaaa!
I have a really good idea!
Maybe... this relationship isn't working. I think...
Maybe you shouldn't be playing mind games with your partner.
The best way to communicate that you are upset with someone is to maybe not ignore them?
Uh, maybe tell them that you're mad at them?
And tell them why and talk about it and sort through it?
And if you don't want to talk about your feelings and sort through what's going on,
Maybe you shouldn't be in a relationship.
Maybe you're not ready to be in a relationship, so...
I think you got to take that into consideration. And also!
It's okay to want space and alone time and to want to break from your partner every now and then.
That's okay! You're allowed to do that!
It's good to take time for yourself and like spend time with yourself as to not get lost in another person.
Codependency can become a bit of an issue.
It's totally okay for you to ask for space and take space and not talk to your partner for a couple days.
That's not like a problem, that's not toxic,
That's not showing that there's no love there, that you don't love them anymore.
And we need to really normalize the idea of taking a break from someone,
Because that can actually help strengthen a relationship.
However, in this format, in this situation, it implies you just really don't like spending time with or talking to your girlfriend.
You're like, "Yes! She's mad at me! She's ignoring me! She's not talking to me!"
It implies you're going to continue to piss her off just so she ignores you,
Because you think it's funny and good.
Just talk.
Communicate.
Some people shouldn't be in relationships.
Not even necessarily with each other, just in general.
Shouldn't be in relationships.
Ex- uh- Excuse me.
Sorry. What? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm gonna have to like-
Sorry. So you, a mother...
Made a fake account on Snapchat... to catfish your own son.
Which means you had to ...
Flirt with your son... and try to create a romantic relationship with your son.
Just for the LOLs?
That's a bit- It's a bit odd.
That's a bit weird.
I don't- I really- I really don't think you should be doing that.
How are you even comfortable with that? How are you comfortable with forming a romantic relationship with your son?
Even if it's through a fake person, it's still... you.
And you don't see how f_cking messed up that is?
No? You know- You don't- You don't see the problem with that?
It's a bit- It's bit incesty, I'm not gonna- I'm not gonna lie to you.
And also it's extremely f_cked-
It's going to emotionally f_cking traumatise him.
He is going to be traumatized.
My god. He will never trust anyone ever again.
He's going to be traumatized by the fact that he fell in love with his mum because she was tricking him.
Why can't you just let people have human experiences?
I'll never understand parents being so overbearing.
Like, "They're not allowed to date anyone! I'll punish them!"
"I'll emotionally traumatize them if they even try to be in a relationship!"
Like, just let them have human relationships, all right?
Just, like, chill the f_ck out. He's a person.
Let him live his life.
"When you see her for the first time: pretty."
"When you're in a relationship with her: Cow."
"When she becomes your ex:" I think she's meant to be like a model, so more beautiful than the first one.
I... do not understand this at all.
This like genuinely makes no sense to me.
Because that means that like the more you got to know her, the less attractive she was.
So why are you dating her if you hate her personality?
Why are you dating her?
Just like, don't date people that you don't like.
It's really a simple solution. Don't date people you don't like.
People should be at their most attractive while you're dating them.
The way that my attraction level works is,
Everyone starts off at sort of like a base level. I'm not like...
Super attracted to anyone.
But the more I get to know them, the more attractive thus, or unattractive, they become.
So like, as I got to know people that I had like, crushes on...
They would look more and more attractive to me.
And then when I was dating them, they're like...
The most attractive person in the world because I know them. I love them. So they're like, stunning.
And then we break up and then they look less attractive because they've done something to like ...
Hurt me or upset me, or I've like thought about it and I've seen their true colours, or whatever.
And then they're like less attractive than they ever have been.
So it's really weird to me that people become like, extra attractive when you break up with them.
Doesn't make sense to me. I don't understand this phenomenon.
Is this a thing that actually happens to people?
Also, I'm sorry about my like- I'm just realizing my arm over here.
Biscuit came down and lay on the couch next to me and if I stop petting him he will just whine.
So... I'm kind of- I'm kind of trapped here.
Waaaaa!!
My question here for you, Sir, is,
Are women difficult to understand?
Or are you a bad listener?
Someone got this tattoo and I have many questions.
But the main one, starting with-
Why?
Why? What ins- What made you want this?
How did you even think of this and design it?
Why- Why did you- Why did you decide to put it on your body forever?
I don't-
Like, this was a choice that you made.
For- like a permanent choice that you made. And I...
The more I look at it the worse it gets. Honestly.
How about we don't play mental games with people?
And just, you know, treat people as people.
Don't- Don't ignore people and reward people with positive reinforcement.
This is just a bit of manipulative tactics.
I think, maybe, communicate with your girlfriend.
I- This- This is the common theme with all of these posts, right?
Is that some people just shouldn't be in relationships.
They just shouldn't be in relationships, and this is one of those instances.
If you can't have a normal proper human relationship with like equal power dynamics and open communication,
I think maybe a relationship just isn't- it's just not for you.
You get it? Cause...
Men hate- hate being married.
And their wives are slowly- slowly killing them.
Something that these people like to ignore and pretend isn't real is that statistically speaking...
Women are usually less happy while being married and men are more happy while being married.
And there's just like this culture of men lying about hating being married and hating their wives,
So they can get like high-fives from the boys or something.
But like, don't- don't pretend your wife doesn't make your life better.
Don't- Don't pretend that.
Because a lot of the people who make these memes and say this stuff are also the same people who think their wives should look after the kids,
And cook and clean and they're complaining because their wife doesn't do everything for them.
But they do enough for you in order to make your life easier.
And if they don't make you happy and they genuinely make you want to die,
I really highly recommend leaving that relationship.
Seeking help and trying to leave that relationship as soon as possible.
Because that is not normal. You should not be in a relationship where you- where you are wanting to die. I...
May- Maybe- Please actually like find some help and get out of that relationship.
I guess I'll never find a husband.
Can't help but calling everyone bro 24/7.
I blame the fact that I was born here in New Zealand.
It's bread into me. It's in my blood.
Calling everyone bro? That's just- That's just part of who I am.
I guess I'll never find a husband because of it though.
What a pity. What a shame. Oh dear. Whatever will I do?
No one's going to love me because I use bro every 5 words.
I know I say this every video, um,
But this is possibly the worst thing I've ever read.
What? What? This is like the third time I've read something like this.
Saying that, like, toddlers, male toddlers are attracted to their mothers.
And should be attracted to their mothers.
I don't think that's true and I don't think we should be normalizing and encouraging that.
And I really don't think we should be talking about breastfeeding as like...
As a sexual act between a baby and a mother.
That's really f_cking f_cked up. What the f_ck?
If you- If you're- If you're breastfeeding your child, that is their- their- their food.
You know? We shouldn't be encouraging sexual anything in children.
As- Let alone freaking babies, but especially not to like their, their mothers.
Like, I'm sorry that you are attracted to your mother, but maybe don't project that onto other people.
I'm sorry that breastfeeding you as a child gave you a weird mother complex, but that is not a common thing.
That doesn't happen. That's not a thing.
Breasts actually exist for the purpose of feeding babies.
We as a society sexualize them. That was completely unnecessary.
We really did not need to do that. They are not an inherently sexual thing.
So breastfeeding a baby, I can one thousand percent promise you,
Does not have anything to do with your sexuality in any way at all.
Shocker. I know. I hope you learned something today.
I'm gonna leave you with that one because I don't- I don't- I don't think I can do any more today. That one kind of...
That one kind of pushed me over the edge a little bit.
I think that's a good one to end it on. So...
I hope you enjoyed the posts. I think that we can all once again agree that the straights are not okay.
Maybe next month will be the month.
I don't think so though.
They- They haven't given us much hope so far. So I'm not holding on to any.
