I’m glad he’s handling it well, but that’s so frustrating that people are denying his sexuality, especially when he’s so open about it online. Thanks for the clip though; it’s good to call out these people for hopefully being just some weird children :/
No problem. If this clip can help to bring this matter to light, I'd be more than happy. I know that Shoto is very patient with these people and comments, but it'd be better if people know his boundaries and try to respect him as a whole person.
Yea most likely people saying those things to him are like middle schoolers or something How tf are you gonna tell someone they aren’t what they are 😭😭
As a bi guy I understand the struggle. Even within the LGBT+ community there's so much stigma regarding bisexuality. Like, I don't really have experience with woman and many are quick to say that I'm gay then, but don't want to accept it (like bish?? There's straight ppl that stay single for most of their life are you gonna tell them they're not straight or asexual because of that?) Even my ex boyfriend kept trying to "convince" me that I'm not bi, since he didn't want me to eventually break up with him for a girl, since that's apparently worse than breaking up with him for another guy (fun fact, it ended because of him cheating and doing other messed up shit). So yea, in short, nobody should feel entitled to "decide" what someone's sexuality is. Those ppl be acting like they're the Sorting Hat from Harry Potter 💀
I like saying I'm bisexual too. I honestly get more trouble from other lgbt+ people than I do from those not in the community. I get told by loads of people that I'm using the wrong label for my own sexuality, that I should be using pansexual instead because I don't express a clear/strong preference for one gender over another. Even friends go out of their way to point out they think I'm pansexual not bi every single time my sexuality is brought up or I refer to myself as bisexual. I thought the lgbt+ community was more about finding the label that you like and that suits your preferences, not about finding the exact by definition with proof-checking from others.
Tbh I don't understand why people care so much about others' sexuality when it's none of their business. I honestly thought Shoto was gay not like I care to begin with though, when he came out as bi I was like ok cool whatever, it doesn't affect either way. My sister is bi but she has dated more guys than girls and some people both straight and lgtbq love to invalidate her sexuality. I have to put up with nonsense too I'm straight but I'm demisexual, most of the time I'm single because unless I have a deep connection I can't fall in love and have 0 sex drive 🤷♀️ There is always someone trying to push me to date women because I show no interest for men so they tell me that I'm a lesbian. When I tell them their conclusion is garbage because I never show interest for women either and reject them too, they look like a goldfish. If people assumed I was asexual at least it would make sense from an outside perspective, but either way I find it weird and invasive how much people care about my sexuality instead of minding their own business. Btw besides my sister I have many friends that are bisexual and it baffles me the stigma it carries I don't understand why. Before realizing I was straight but demisexual I was open to the idea that maybe I was bisexual or asexual, in the end we fall in love with people sometimes we have preferences for a set of genitals and sometimes we don't. If everything is consensual and legal why people care so much about it?
Sexuality is like a spectrum, and it's fluid. All the terms and labels are just for convenience. It doesn't really matter how we label ourselves. We just fall in love with people whom we are attracted to.😌👍
Man, it's nice to see some lgbt people making sense and being mature (Not that I hate them, I'm bi myself but from everything I've heard about this community, it's pretty toxic). A bit off topic, but I'm really happy to see people being open about their sexuality and being like.. yea wtv, let's move on. It's just a sexual orientation, not big deal right... When we talk about this kind to our friends or wtv, it should be the exact same thing when two straight dudes talk about a girl they find attractive for exemple. The only difference there is, is that it's not something "normal"... and people are trying to understand why you are like this. My dude, there's nothing to understand besides I like both men and women, that's all :)
i’ve seen a lot of people say that shoto is pretending to be gay or queerbaiting (pretty much using acting gay as a way to get more popular and money etc without actually being gay) which is ridiculous. i think these people are trying to act as if they’re doing something good by “calling him out” when in reality they’re doing a lot of harm. i’ve seen people say the same about mysta saying he only likes feminine guys because they’re like girls so therefore he actually only likes girls and is straight. that’s such a rude assumption to make especially since he said that personality actually matters more in the end rather than appearances. people like that really make me mad. don’t assume these types of things about other people it’s really rude but for some reason they think it’s okay 😭 sorry for the rant it’s just these type of people make me upset especially since i had to deal with someone like this who was saying i wasn’t actually bi since i haven’t had a crush on a girl and was making all these assumptions even tho i literally am attracted to girls sexually romantically whatever 🥲
"Shoto be straight" the audacity of that comment. I hope it was said in a joking way, because otherwise that's just so damn rude. I fully agree with you on a lot of things, as a pansexual and a man, who the hell do people think they are to tell people how they are or should be. My philosophy of life "I wasn't put on this earth to judge". Just be nice to people, it won't kill you XD.
@@salion_vee6164 the person who said “be straight” was actually referring to Shoto’s model because it was tilted and Shoto knew the person was talking abt the model he was just joking around
@@salion_vee6164 exactly dude. if someone says they’re bi then they’re bi.. who are you to say otherwise when you don’t know them. a lot of the time people also assume everybody’s straight so in their heads when they act “gay” or say they’re a different sexuality other than straight it’s just “queerbaiting” 🤦🏽♂️ it’s so stupid. if you care that much about people pretending to be gay for views and whatever but have said they’re straight then focus on them. not actual people who r attracted to the same gender
At least to me, Shoto being bisexual means there’s more of him for everyone! I love the lgbtq+ gang and there’s always that little spark of joy I feel when someone comes out as Bi. That means more people can have a piece of him hehehe
As a bi girl, I understand the feeling of people not believing I like women too. I come off as "straight" to people so it's really frustrating. Why can't we like two genders in peace?
Bi stigma is so real. If you’re a girl they’re like well no you’re straight and if you’re a man mist of the time they’re like no you’re just gay you can’t like both. It’s hella toxic. Bisexual women are stigmatized as spicy straight and bisexual men are seen as using bisexuality to soften the fact they are actually gay. It’s so shitty.
Same here, because I've never actually dated anyone my Dad thinks I'm actually straight when really I'm just demiromantic so I don't like anyone at the moment
Im pretty sure that person is not a english native so they said "be straight shoto" bcuz he's tilting... maybe that person have no bad intention and just saying bcuz shou's tilting
@@maokana_02 I'm really really really hoping it's the case. Pretty unfortunate timing for that person to use that sentence when talking about Shoto's bisexuality. I'm really hoping that it was either a broken translation or a poorly told joke.
雖然我是中文母語者，但我想用英文說這些，如果文法有錯再拜託告訴我（只是學生😅還在學習），謝謝～ As been a bi person, I feel like sometimes people just don’t believe what you identify yourself. Some “kind “one would just ignore it , but the other will use the rude words to hurt you. And even your parents doesn’t trust you. I’m still trying to get used to it, so it’s happy to see my favorite vtuber came out and be very comfortable in this topic, makes me feel like I’m not alone ❤️❤️
As a bisexual person too, I totally understand this feeling. Some of my close friends once didn’t believe that I’m bisexual because I’d never been in a relationship with someone has same gender with me. It really hurts that I even opened up about it so many times but they still choose not to believe what I identify myself. I really hope that non of us have to be in that kind of situation anymore.
@@MerryRhymeThank you so much 🥺💜. By the way I love your channel’ contents too, it show us a lot of Shoto’s other wholesome sides, which is really helpful for newbie. I wish you all the best too ☺️💜
其實不管在哪裡，還是會有很多人不太接受同志，或許是因為Shoto是Vtuber吧，大家不知道誰是真正的Shoto，他才能這麼坦然的說出，要知道，美國跟台灣比起來，不能接受同志的人多非常非常多，要坦然說出自己出櫃是一件很不容易的事，要接受他人的眼光和那些惡意的批評，真的會身心俱疲，或許會想這沒有什麼，但經歷過批評的人都知道，這很痛苦...也不要把自己的看法硬塞在別人身上，這樣不僅沒禮貌，也會讓對方很痛苦，他們沒有必要承受 To Shoto: We will always support you, you can be angry and sad for those messages, but don't forget, there is a group of people here who will always support you and love you unconditionally, no matter what you become. Also thank you for giving me a smile when I am most difficult and desperate, maybe you don't know, but it really gives me a lot of strength, thank you for appearing in my life, I will always support you 💜 我們會一直支持你，你可以為那些留言生氣、傷心，但不要忘了，這裡有一群人會一直無條件的支持你、愛你，不管你變成什麼樣子。也謝謝你在我最困難、絕望時給予我歡笑，或許你不知道，但這真的給予我很大的力量，謝謝你出現在我的人生中，我會永遠支持你💜 我英文不太好，如有錯請見諒😓 謝謝Merry烤肉💜
After I came out, I still had friends who thought I was straight ;-; like after all the courage it took to come out- can we just please stop invalidating other people
I seriously wasn't sure if the "be straight, Shoto" was because of the "not bi" topic, or because his model was literally tilting sideways 😂 because some ppl said him tilting was making them dizzy, even he thought so right after. But yeah saying he's not Bi, who do ppl think they are?🤨
Ah yes, the three genders: Men, Women and Monsters XD Seriously though, it sucks he's having to go through that. I know there were people in my life when I first came out that didn't believe me or told me I was lying about my gender and sexuality, as if I was doing it for attention or some shit. Can't imagine going through all that x100 because of his platform and how well known he is. All my love to Shoto
I'm sorry to hear that...🥺 I hope that one day you'll meet people who truly understand and respect who you are~🙏💖🌟 By the way, the comment "be straight" is referring to Shoto's model because he's "tilting" at that moment😂 So don't worry, it's just a pun.
I’m most surprised that Bisexuality, being one of the more popular sexualities, is denied by mass majority. imo it’s one of the more popular sexualities in discussion and I felt like more ppl would understand and acknowledge it.Regardless of the popularity, it’s still common decency to respect people’s preferences.
i feel shoto on this one it feels like people default to the assumption that i’m straight and white all the time… the worst part is when they double down when you tell them they’re wrong like i think i know myself better than you dude, you’ve never even seen my face LMAO
Shoto is indeed bisexual ! What kind of people are they ? ! Telling him that he’s not bisexual when he LITERALLY has said it MANY times and he even came out to his parents about it ! Edit: It even says it on his wiki page
When guys are not straight, people want them to be straight. When they’re straight, they want them to be gay/bi LMAO like make up your mind fr. He’s so good at handling the situation tho and he’s patient, I would’ve been raging
Yeah, he's probably the most patient human being I've ever known. And he always makes his point clearly and firmly. I appreciate these good traits of him.😌👍💖💕
Ok the comment section is telling me I thought differently. I thought people meant he's gay, not bi. Like I thought some people don't believe he can like girls or something idk.
Bisexuals tend to get it from both directions, unfortunately. Some people will think they're secretly straight and others will think they're secretly gay. Kinda surprised it sounds like people are coming at it from the "secretly straight" direction considering how many men Shoto flirts with. Like damn, that would be a who other level of commitment to character.
Honestly gatekeeping is such a weak-ass mindset and it's really annoying to have to deal with all the time "Oh, you tick these boxes if I cross my eyes and squint from several metres away? Then I say you're this and nothing will convince me otherwise" Like bruh did I ask for your opinion on my identity 🤨 (Not just sexuality, but things like my race/nationality, my faith, my sex/gender identity, my _age/maturity,_ my own personal beliefs/opinions, etc) ^ The above instances have gone as follows (to name a few): - Saying I can't be ace and Christian because "ChRiStIaNs CaN't SuPpOrT gAyS" (tell that to my family, they'll punt your ass into next Friday) - Saying I can't be part Māori because of my skin colour (I'm olive tan-ish, my mother being Māori with pale skin) - Trying to convince me I'm MTF/Transwoman based purely on my voice & mannerisms (I'm an alto; never have and will never be a guy, simple as that - Continously telling me (no matter how mature or not I am) that because of my age, I have to act a certain way instead of being me (people live life differently bro, chill) - Trying to convince me that I can't trust my judgment and need people to make decisions for me (because "all I do is screw it up" :/) Sorry for the rant, it's just something that's been bogging me down recently and I needed to voice it ig
