I’m sorry if I contributed to your experience, I watched and rewatched his video on you at the time. I’m sorry for what you went through, and I’m sorry for contributing to it, and I wish you the absolute best
said it before, but yeah, seeing kalvins videos when i was younger seriously hindered my own gender journey, my hate for nb people was really projection at my own confusion and hurt about my own identity. i feel much better now, been on T almost 3 years. fuck trans medicalism, it feels good to be my queer self :3
As an og fan this video is so nostalgic and fun. the blue neighborhood mv was definitely my lesbian awakening. i remember watching it realizing that crying my eyes out.
1999 with Troye and Charli was the first introduction I had to his music after loving his RU-vid videos, and honestly everything about him and Charli makes me just feel happiness.
As a dedicated Troye fan since the youtube days that went out of her way to meet him at a youtube event: THANK YOU!!! FINALLY THIS MANS GETTING HIS FLOWERS
As an og troye fan this video is just pure fun nostalgic joy. I get so emotional thinking about how far he’s come with his talent and creativity and as a visual artist myself, and his visuals always inspired me and still do today. Especially blue neighbourhood which is still my fav album. Seeing him be so confident with his identity inspired me to come out in high school and not give a shit about what ppl thought about it, which is cool to look back on now as a 23 yr gender-fluid lesbian lol. I’m seeing him next month and I genuinely cannot wait to cross it off my bucket list.
i feel so similarly, grew up closeted but bullied and outed by peers around me, troye and other creators like him at the time made me feel like being out wouldn't be so scary one day, and somehow i'm 23 fully out in a loving queer relationship, just lezzie and butch and morphing and unapologetic for being so
Yesss not to take away from straight people who do f3tishise queerness but I swear a lot of us started to learn about our own queerness by being a bit OVERLY interested in people’s queerness HAHAHA
this video was so much fun, can't believe he's already been around and we've been fans of him for so many different eras. Also I was thankfully able to go to the stgea tour but I wish I could go to the sweat tour as well so bad, hope you have lots of fun and share your jumper upcycling results
"gay youtuber fangirl to transmasc pipeline" REAL i remember being FASCINATED with the then rumours about dan and phil possibly being bi or something...
love the deep dive into the full article where things aren't just taken out of context. ❤🔥I think Chappell is technically signed to Amusement Records (Dan Nigro started this label) and I believe it's a sister label to Island Records or a sub label to Island Records (Sabrina Carpenter's label) and Billie Eilish/Finneas are Interscope UMG I believe :) ✨
Okay but the trans version of “Good Luck Babe”? I’m going through that rn But the problem is the dude is self aware and literally showed me that song because it’s what’s happening with us? Wtf is this ☠️ 4:25
The whole conversation about her is so frustrating, because for years we've criticized celebrities for staying silent or making hollow statements, but when someone comes along that not only speaks up but also puts actions behind her words, we tear her down for it.
commenting before watching the whole thing - I'm so excited to hear your opinion as a fellow Chappell apologist! all the other vids I've seen commenting on the whole who-she's-voting-for thing have been from ppl that aren't familiar with her so I'd love to hear ur take. and if I'm being totally honest, I'd love it if the mainstream media just completely forgot about her. like she obviously doesn't want the attention, but probably since she's an outspoken lesbian, there's just a huge interest on her and as someone who collects vinyls they can definitely be expensive. i think the most i spent on one was $70 for an original press of a Beatles record like ten years ago 😅
Fiiiine. I'm utterly sick of hearing about this person, but I adore your content so much I'll suffer my feed getting choked w Chappell Roan commentary for clicking on this. 😂❤
@@brennenbeckwith I already feel like I'm going to come out of this well-informed on all the stuff I've been curious about relating to her. All I've seen on yt lately is either just inane fan service or centrist rage about her non endorsement. This multifaceted viewpoint is, at 30 some mins in, far more interesting. And a lot more fun. =p
You said it better than I could on the LGBT+ stuff, but as a fan of the show, Zeke was a good player but not a great one. He almost certainly wasn’t going to win.
Tumblr is where I found out you could be nonbinary. It wasn’t too long after that that I realized nonbinary was me. I wish I’d found your channel before today. It would have been sweet to have followed your journey while living my own. I’m looking forward to watching through the lovely hours of you being this kind and earnest person about so many topics. I took my first dose of T this week, and my PCP says she’ll let me have top surgery after I’ve spent three months on my new biologic medication. I’m chronically ill and disabled, so for a while there I thought I might just have to suffer through with H/I cup breasts suffocating me forever. I’m looking forward to life a surprising amount more, and looking forward to experiencing some trans joy in this train wreck of a body. Maybe me and my body can still be friends, even now. Thank you for this beautiful retrospective, and the love and compassion you’re able to show your younger self. There was something very healing about seeing that.
A lot of people came here, not interested in hearing you out. I’ll put it this way: the queer community can be incredibly superficial. Someone like Troye doesn’t relate to someone like Lizzo for several reasons. Is Troye wrong for not including body diverse people? Honestly, yes and no. It’s true, it’s not his responsibility. Yet, we can clearly see that the only body types in the video are skinny, or body builders…it’s fairly obviously shallow, but I also don’t know how intentional it is. Was it actually Troye’s fault? Who knows. Music videos have directors, and I’m certain someone decides who’s cast in it, but those could’ve been influence by Troye as well. I love Troye, but it somewhat goes without saying that he’s in the toxic side of the community. Even if he’s sensitive to other’s issues, he doesn’t ask the questions needed to really understand any deeper than surface value. I don’t agree with people in these comments saying “victim mentality” when this videos creator obviously just wanted to discuss why this type of content is insensitive and typecast with discrimination.
