A Brief History of Disastrous Gender Reveals | A Short Documentary | Fascinating Horror 

How the world ends: Not with a whimper but with a ‘It’s a boy!’

this will be elon’s next baby 😂

that reminded me of one physicist who discreetly informed a colleague of a successful nuclear test using the words: it's a boy.

Good idea, on it.

@@nukecorruption such a fitting name as well. Good luck!

The best kind of reveal.

i tried for that kind with my kid but instead i got the kind where the idiot nurses couldnt keep their mouth shut and told me. 🤬

THIS!

🤣🤣🤣🤣💯

This is what I'm doing, everyone in my husband's family is pissed. 🤣 waaa "can't get them anything!" We told them we wanted gender neutral because we weren't going crazy on gender specific items when they are born anyway. Scoffed "I'm not doing that!" So now they have resorted to buying boy stuff without knowing the gender because "its always a boy" 🤦‍♀️🙄

"Oh gramma? Homemade pipe bomb got her ass... yea"

“But I’m not a boy, I want to be called Loretta.”

@@OddityDK Nobody wants to be called Loretta.

@@daerdevvyl4314 maybe Loretta does

@@daerdevvyl4314 lol Loretta is from a movie. Life of Brian

This is a free country, I have the freedom to kill public servants with my freedom.

Your freedom ends where other people's freedoms begin, that's how it works.

Isn't it the El Dorado fire? They are trying to get the charges thrown out.

Update on court outcome?

@@andredeketeleastutecomplex Actually that is not true. The way laws and rights are designed does not actually follow this logic. Take parking for example. You parking in a parking space removes another persons freedom to park there, yet it is not illegal.

Yup. I don't give a toss what's between a baby's legs, it's super creepy to even think about that stuff! Yet these people try to shove it in dozens of people's faces in all these destructive ways. If you ask me, the dad who died deserved to become a Darwin award. The parents who caused the blaze that killed all those innocent people should be rotting in jail.

That's exactly it Ruth very sad indeed.

F*** social media

For real and it makes me sad cuz I heard that allegedly the first gender reveal party was simply hosted because the woman having the baby has miscarriages time and time before, so she was so happy to be far enough along to be able to learn the babies sex. So she hosted a party. Now it's just people trying to one up eachother

@@eminempreg if I remember correctly, I i think she even regretted that

@@sangonomiyakokomi5764 There are many safe ways to do it without explosives..people need to get real with this and stop trying to out do each other with something bigger.

@@truthhurts63 yeah

Are there no laws prohibiting the use of explosives on tall grass?

@@mycatnamedseven-up9726 California wouldn't catch fire so easily if they didn't import all those non-native plants and performed actual forestry services like clearing dried brush.

@@embroideredragdoll there are, but it doesn't stop people from doing it in the middle of nowhere.

@@helenamirian908 boy that was quick

I'd leave them

These fires were visible from my work so I regularly caught myself wondering how terrible for your psyche that must be. No way someone doesn’t tell that kid way too young about the circumstances before their birth

Exactly

I don't know. It's sounds harmless as long as you don't do it in a middle flammable field. It's just something fun and memorable to celebrate a soon to be born kid. Though I can imagine some people are crossing a line between a fun gathering with friends and a show of stunt. Not sure what is distasteful with it. In a lot of cultures there are traditions and folklore about guessing the gender of the kid. People are always curious about it. Why not revel it in a fun way?

@@pingwingugu5 yeah honestly a cake with colored filling sounds cute and delightful

@@tristanneal9552 Yes! Or just put a little confetti in a small ballon and pop it open

Esp since the first gender reveal by that blogger was to celebrate that she had kept her pregnancy long enough for the fetus' sex to be determined (she had a series of miscarriages before this). The celebration was less intended to be "LOOK AT ME AND WHAT BITS MY CHILD HAS" and more "I've made it far enough along in the pregnancy without complications that we know the biological sex of my child"

Could legit say until the age of about 19 “You finished paying off my gender reveal yet?”

And then he proceeded to change his gender to pink (or any other rainbow color of his pick), LoL.

and all because he was “remorseful” 🙃

because people give a shit about nature I guess? I dunno it's rly weird.

You don't get actual prison for smoking weed. Just to be technical.

Intent matters.

He didn't inhale any of the grass tho

Natural selection

Perhaps a Darwin award winner in the making?

Hopefully that kid is an only child - and one that learned from their father's idiocy.

Im not sad about that happening to him

He can go to his wife's boyfriend's reveal

Other than the firefighter who died, none of these people deserve respect

@@kingnotail3838 What about the innocent grandma-to-be who died? It wasn't her fault the parents made an accidental pipe bomb.

@@noriskguarantee15 What does that have to do with anything??????

I noticed

👍🙏😷

Sociopaths

Who says they don’t care? Besides you?

Why would they care?

Unless you were there, how would you know that?

I agree. And thank you for your service. Allow me to be devils advocate, none of these fools thought a fire would occur and had no intention to harm people or property. Culpable, are the products/companies made for this one-time, useless activity, and the many people who glamourized it, made it seem harmless. One reason I support imprisonment, is so that a person isn't destroyed by guilt and shamed, one must feel they were punished for a loss of life, property if they are to move on. But, I don't believe one or more people should be forced into suicidal feelings by the entire community. Your comrade perished needlessly, but please acknowledge, it's a dangerous career, and whether he perished by a preventable wildfire or a nature caused one, the results are the same, and anyone of you could have same fate. Though I respect your courage for battling fire. Again, I am playing devils advocate. But, I agree: punishment and prevention is necessary. Thank you. This is my only serious comment on here. The rest are jokes, but no disrespect meant towards your line of work, which honestly, is the most dangerous, necessary work on earth.

@@thereisnosanctuary6184 With the sheer amount of damage those morons caused, not even just the death of that innocent man, prison is looking pretty reasonable right now, honestly. Multiple buildings gone. Houses burned down. Miles and miles of nature destroyed. And the life of a man who had to deal with the consequences of someone else’s actions. I don’t care if they’re remorseful. That was a stupid ass thing to do

@@suckonmahd That kind of damage, though negligent as opposed to malicious, does require some time. I personally don't believe in destroying a person, they gave a family to raise, but a year sounds right. It does not undo damage, but helps with atonement and sends a message.

@@thereisnosanctuary6184 Not just a year in prison though. They should be forced to see the entirety of the destruction they caused, in person. Force them to walk a couple hundred miles through the burned forests and grasslands.

@@brandon9172 See, what you want is revenge. Yes, that particular person will feel awful and that particular person will never use a gender reveal bomb again, or probably ever go into the woods. I would make the manufacturers of all products used have to take same tour. And high school students, the key is prevention, education. Not punishing every fool. This thing became too easy to do. And widely celebrated. In a war, you don't capture one soldier and execute him. You demoralize and deprive the entire opposing army.

so it's still a gender reveal

@@Tekape way to miss the point

@@therealaintain nope

@@Tekape Yep.

@@KingofHearts I think its just humans in general, people like explosions

@@KingofHearts No, but that hasn't stopped us from putting them where they don't belong

By putting their self-obsession, self-indulgence, & general emotional immaturity on full display, they prove exactly why they should not breed. It casts doubt on their ability, or at least willingness, to assign the proper level of importance to the kid.

Honestly these days, it's humanity at it's normal. Enough said. Humans are not an intelligent species. Not by any stretch of the imagination.

@@Mochrie99 they said, using the small highly advanced device humans made, capable of near magical feats by the metric of any living being. No, humans are extremely intelligent, which is why humans are also capable of choosing to do something so bloody stupid

I mean, it's not like every person who repeats this or tries to top the last party doesn't have a functioning enough brain or at least have someone who does who might know of their plans and stop them considering the risks. This is why my faith in humanity is so low, it's not just one or a few, it's just too many idiots to keep major damage from happening.

the problem is that she though people could control themselves when 1 upping everyone else. she didnt count on the communal stupidity to make it a dangerous event.

whats worse is the reason this was such a big deal for her was that she'd had miscarriages before and this was the first time one of her babies lived long enough for them to find out their gender, like it was a genuine and sincere celebration and now i can only imagine the guilt she must feel for started this bs :(

She’s gone on record saying she regrets starting the craze

This sort of thing has nothing to do with gender reveal parties and everything to do with people determined to make a spectacle. If it wasn't celebrating their unborn baby's sex, it would have been the baby shower, the birth announcement, or some other excuse.

good.

Forever Oofing

Yeah whatever happened to passing out them cigars with the reveal on it. The cancer risk was low cause the things were never worth smoking.

Yeah

Because its not good for the gram

@@JJ-iq8mi We announced our pregnancy at the halfway mark and threw in the sex of the baby as well. It was just an ultrasound of their head. No need for a huge fuss, really.

You don't have a kid so you have no idea how it is when you do. If your family cares about you they are more excited than you are most of the time and want to know what it is. Just because you want to tell them what your having doesn't make you a bad person for doing it. My whole family was blowing my phone up before we left the drs office waiting to know. Them calling first wanting to be the first one to know it's not just narcissistic thing but it's also for them especially the grandparents. Not to mention my mother in law passed away before my son was born so she wanted to know what it was gonna be. Is that wrong to give a woman dying of cancer basically her last wish? These people in these comments are hateful and say you're a bad person for wanting to do something with your family. Especially if someone is having trouble having one like we did. These people in these comments are hateful and talking about people like me because I wanted to tell my family what I'm having. I didn't have a party but people still say I'm basically a bad parent because of it. Nobody gets to tell me what to do with my family or tells me I'm a horrible dad for that stupid reason.

@@fordshojoe8080 Hey, if you weren't one of the ones throwing a big party to try and one up others on the internet, then I don't think you're a bad person at all! There's nothing wrong with wanting to know these things; my comment was a little more bitter than I really intended simply because I've lived through a few more wildfires now than most people really ought to... I hadn't meant to make a sweeping generalization of *everyone* who's excited for that sort of thing, and I apologize if it came off that way. The reason people in the comments are so angry about this is due to the overwhelming damage some gender reveal parties have caused, but those parties in particular were always done in the name of making something bigger and grander than the parties that came before theirs. I.E. going from cakes, to party poppers, to outright making homemade explosives. It's a purely narcissistic thing, a sort of internet fad chasing "arms race"; for those sorts it's not really the "gender" part that concerns them, rather the "reveal", a chance to do something big, expensive, and showy. In that sense, I can guarantee you're not included among those people, as well as others out there like you. Nothing wrong with wanting to know, and nothing wrong with being excited about it!

They actually make onesies now that just say "It Is A Baby". It's the perfect response to these things

Why pick the ugliest color though?

@@StrazdasLT Cause purple is a mix of both color families (blue and red/pink/etc),so it's as gender neutral as you can get

That is the most depressing thing about this, a woman just wanted to celebrate that her child might make it and this happens

I still think that the people who planned it should have been a little more careful. But no one could of anticipated the destruction that happened.

@@rejectrealism They placed explosives in dry grass in _California_ of all places, a state known to catch fire alot. They should've known it would've went south!

What really gets me is: those people are like small children who all get a balloon to inflate and everyone wants to have the biggest one. But in the end the balloons burst and everyones crying.

I don't think having a gender reveal party gives any clout but hey my gen isn't just there yet so 🤷‍♂️

@@thatpacho You'd be surprised how far some people would go for a few likes on facebook and the dream of going viral.

The internet itself is a plague

@@fattiger6957 This. I used to know a guy who managed to go viral on tiktok for some dance. He had 100k some views, was 3 years ago, and the guy managed to bring it up in every conversation. People are desperate for validation.

@@fattiger6957 Future gender reveal parties are going to be held in metaverse

That’s correct. She also no longer supports gender reveals, and that child is now gender nonconforming. What’s really horrible is because of the disasters other people have caused, she gets constant hate mail and threats. All just for trying to celebrate that her child made it that far into the pregnancy.

To think this was all to be a comfort for parents who had suffered through miscarriages and to celebrate a whole baby being born... Not even a healthy baby at that point! A living baby is how low the bar we're putting it. That was the point. It was just to be a comfort for parents who were getting a "rainbow" child after much loss and pain. This movement was intended to be a comfort for families who had suffered tremendous emotionally. The mother has written extensively on how heartbroken she is that people have taken this to the extreme and how she adores her first born, who is gender non conforming. It's about having a living child!

Oh that's just perfect. The first "gender reveal party" and the baby in question is now gender nonconforming. This is why I get annoyed. You aren't finding out the gender of the baby. You're finding out the physical sex. But I guess "sex reveal party" sounds nothing like what's actually going to happen at the party.

@@Luubelaar No, "sex reveal party" is how you got the kid. I don't think anyone would attend that. No one I'd want around me, anyway.

@@Luubelaar It's really more a "genitalia reveal" than a gender reveal, but they go by "gender" anyway. Also gives them excuses to tack on more nonsensical gender stereotypes to the party ("blue or pink?" "trucks or tutus?" "guns or glitter?" "sports or shops?")

"Now about your college tuition fund..."

Don't forget the red flag warning that was ignored!

To be fair, balloons aren't harmless either, they create a lot of waste in the environment.

That conversation is definitely coming.

@@jvccr7533 Well yeah it was incredibly foolish of them, but it is still someone's loved one that died (stupidly, yes) at an event they were all probably enjoying each other until it happened.

@@89RealThe It's certainly a day they're going to remember now.

1st thought- Oh fuck CA is gonna do us proud 🤦‍♀️ 2nd- Wait that's pural who else fucked this up THAT BAD

It's astounding, isn't it? You don't see anyone other than white westerners do this garbage, either. Only they would be this obsessed over a baby's junk.

They only started this a few years ago, apparently one couple did something like this to celebrate their first successful pregnancy and ever since then it's been like weddings in an old rich neighborhood, each person copying the idea but "bigger," using their children to show off their wealth to their friends

These incidents must be standouts. I've been to a few gender reveal parties, and they're pretty uneventful (and safe); just a normal family (and close friends) gathering with a somewhat cartoonish reveal taking up a few minutes in it. A baseball, a cake, etc. I can only imagine the stories in this video were found explicitly by googling to find stories to make gender reveal parties sound bad.

Arson is an intentional setting of a fire. When it's an accident, even through your own stupidity, it's negligence but not arson.

@@Transilvanian90 Okay, then call it negligent or reckless arson as people are punished for misusing firearms for similar celebratory events.

@@Transilvanian90 says the person who uses “it was an accident officer” as an excuse for his/hers stupidity and lack of any common sense

@@Transilvanian90 Setting off explosives in tall grass in a fire watch area is about as "intentional" as one can be when starting a fire.

The last one was smoke. Many people don’t associate smoke bombs with fire.., Somehow forgetting that where there is smoke... ...there is fire. But at least it wasn’t an accidental pipe bomb or deliberate use of explosives or fireworks, as with earlier reveals. People _might_ actually be trying to better about this, but critical thinking is not a trait common to everyone.

For real. When we announced our pregnancy, we just casually threw in the sex of the baby. It was just a post of the ultrasound. No need for a fuss imo.

they could've just sliced a cake or pop a balloon like every other family does

Or just not having such low self esteem that one would need to do such things.

Call me cynical, If a gender reveal party would kill the pregnant mother of a twin, it would be world news, even further increasing the popularity of these parties...

Not to mention that most people have nothing like a gender reveal party. They're more concerned with things like being healthy and getting the house ready for the baby. The popularity of showing off your party on social media creates the idea that everyone is doing it.

The irony

I'm just glad the fires never reached her animal shelter she runs out in Idaho.

I hope the state throws the book at them. An example has to be made that this type of stuff is stupid and selfish. I really hope they feel like garbage. The cake was a tasteful and cute idea. No need to get so elaborate that you start a fire which drives others from their homes, or ends up killing the child’s grandmother.

Yeah. It's ridiculous to me. I fail to understand why people think other's gender is such a big deal, and I fail to understand how someone could be DISAPPOINTED that their child is a certain gender. It isn't going to change their personality or interests or anything important unless you let society decide.

I agree it is strange to fixate on either having a son versus a daughter, but I think a large part of it is that it gives more breadth to an unborn child like makes it more “real” to the parents to be

@@pyrettablaze4325 that's true!

I didn't know the gender of my 3 children until they were born. While I was pregnant, we chose a names for a girl and a boy, so we were prepared for either. My family was quite happy to wait as well. I was definitely more concerned with whether or not my babies were going to be healthy than by what their gender was.

It's all about the attention seeking parents these days. When i was pregnant in 1987, I could have found out my baby's gender through ultrasound but I wanted to wait until my baby was born. I had a girl.

Nothing happened to hoping a baby is healthy. People still hope that while doing gender reveal gatherings.

Its a shame there is no free health service or mental health service available for people who really need it.

@@DontStopJaime free or even paid for by taxes efficiently spent.

Lmao 🤣🤣

Sex and gender are different things anyway 🤷‍♀️

That's a pretty smart, plot-twisty idea your wife had there. Hope you and your family are doing well! :D

becaus this is what the OG inteanted

Better call him Damian.

This is the funniest fucking comment ive ever seen

@@thereisnosanctuary6184 his name is Ligma

a WISE decision!

I'll bring the screwdriver.

Oh yea? As soon as I can figure out how to inject Blue or Pink Glitter into a Black Hole, people are gonna forget all about your pathetic attempt :)

@@gregcarter9680 It's really rather easy for something (even glitter) to get into a black hole (assuming it is near enough to said black hole), but it is essentially impossible to get the thing back out again.

Chill, Eggman

And it was on a red flag day

so cute!!

Metalocalypse pfp 😩

Imagine the scenario, the families gathered in the back yard all exited at the anticipation of finding out the gender when suddenly the backdoor opens 2 dachshunds runout and towards then but confusion sets in there's no ribbon. All of a sudden one of the dachshunds explodes violently with a majestic blue fireball the guests are blown of there feet grandma is killed instantly. The other dachshund clearly a dud is set on blue fire and runs from house to house in the neighbourhood setting them ablaze 20 homes destroyed 14 people killed a terrible tragedy. But its a boy congratulations 👏🥳

@@stephenriley1225 letss goooo.

Was your sister married at the time?

Stupid people who are reproducing 🤦🏻‍♀️

I still can't believe that actually happened. That guy must have had a deathwish.

Lol omg that's hilarious!

lmao, this calls for a self high five, dude. please proceed to high five yourself n_n

So _that's_ what really happened

This is why I'm against most safety regulations. Just put something dangerous out for an idiot to find, and let nature take it's course. It usually ends in one less idiot.

I can hear the Chemical Safety Board incident narrator....

Ok Karen

@@curve5746 You seem to have no idea what a Karen is.

I’m already terrified enough of fire season, it doesn’t need help to make it worse.

@@AFireInTheMastersHouseIsSet yeah Karens are usually the ones bragging about these stupid parties.

@@curve5746 I would just like to remind everyone reading this that the user Curve57 is angrily defending gender reveal parties. That is all.

Gotta have that party, bro!

There will be enough for a part two in a few years, no doubt.

Was the crash because of the party, conditions of the day or something, or was the plane a problem and would have been a risk whenever they took off next?

. It was also predictable that your wings would melt if you flew too close to the sun but that didn't stop you did it

@@travisritzman6772 Ooh, someone just read about Icarus and couldn't resist a chance to brag. :) What does that have to do with the post that you replied to?

Man that ain't lit. U not gonna get likes with that! What are u a square or somthin

Exactly. For my wife and I, our 'gender reveal party' was the birth. Condolences to all those who suffered so much in these examples. Wow...

not enough gun powder

I had 3 babies at home and never knew their gender until they were born. It made the moment even more special.

@@barbaragremaud3499 See, that's what I always said. You might get to do this only once, maybe four times at the most. Slow yer childish, impatient asses down & enjoy the magic.

when it comes to stupid people that long for attention and feeling special, no risk is too great. I'm actually quite pleased when I see this borderline child abuse blow up in the insane parent's faces

It's not cursed; being careless with regard to fire safety is. Using that to justify manufactured feelings for the very idea of the party reason, that's just f**ked in the head.

@@nthgth nope, genital reveal parties are cursed.

Did you know, 0.1% of gender reveals end in death? Same chance as most other activities humans partake it. So lets ban all activities and call people who partake in activity pathetic assholes yes? Cool cool.

Yes! Everyone has the right to feel joy at life's events such as pregnancy and the birth of a child, but the showing off and egocentrism is just too much.

Miss those days...

Aaahhhh.....the good old days...🥲

I remember those days. Very fondly. 😞

Take your own advice and stop caring if people have gender reveals or not. 99.9% result in some goofy family cutting a pink cake, not tragedy like these ones.

This is definitely the best comment on this video. I'm just not sure whether to laugh or cry in response to it.

Daddy was a fat man.

Unfortunately.

'Merica. 😣

@Bada Boom Yet they are more civilised than the United States of Fucksake.

@Bada Boom Sure pal, whatever you say. If you love mass shootings, racism, obesity, unfair wages for women and going bankrupt from basic medical care then I guess you're right. Best Country Evar 😂

@Bada Boom lol I hate to tell you this but you really need to educate yourself on the history front. How very American of you to think you won the war. It was a collective effort where everyone played their part.. but in reality the states came in late did very little at first due to being more interested in Japan and then only won the battles they did due to german forces being ocupied fighting the other allies. The Russians were the ones who made the biggest contribution and without them the war would have been lost. But hey, if we're talking about how great the states are at winning wars on their own, look how well they did in Vietnam. 👍

Mexico too, everything is legal in Mexico, it's the American way

That's like saying people shouldn't hold birthday parties or new year celebrations. Yes, people shouldn't act like idiots and set off bombs during gender reveal parties, but that doesn't mean the parties themselves are the problem. You don't shut down a swimming pool for everyone just because a random moron is peeing in the water. There have been hundreds of thousands of these parties over the past decade, and so far we can pick out fewer than ten serious incidents. That's a better track record than nucelar power, amusement parks, mine shafts, plane journeys, etc.

Incorrect. Correct: "We're having a baby! And a moist cake of no significant colour or flammability!"

Yeah, my cousin just kinda casually announced it at the baby shower. She didn't see the point in making a big fuss over it. They put a lot more focus on baby-theming everything. Well, her sister did. I suspect the mother probably wouldn't have cared all that much about the games and party stuff. She just wanted a cake and to see a bunch of friends/family members that she hadn't seen in months because she and her husband moved about 3 states away.

Congratulations! How far along are you? We could be close. I’m 17 weeks.

@@rubyslippers1935 Wifey has her 21 week scan on Wednesday. Congrats.

Good for you. Be it a boy/ girl. I'm sure they will grow up in a loving, caring family. I know ppl. to this day that are NOT swept up in all THIS.

Congrats! It's good to hear about a mom who just wants to be a mom and not having a like farm with by using babies.

You would think that this would be common sense but apparently not.

My thoughts exactly
