The Bones Scene That Really Went Way Too Far 

Who's your favorite Bones character?

Sorry, but 13-14 years ago nobody was asking anybody their pronouns. In fact if they would have asked their pronouns they would have been accused of insensitivity. It’s a much different world , even only a decade later.

I had to stop watching this non-sense. Looper usually does a great job, but if this is their new path, I'm checking out.

They werent offensive or racist about it, they were just curious.. I guess we have to apologize for being humans aswell

I didn’t care back then and I don’t care now since it’s just a fiction show. Why would people get mad at a fiction show.

why does everyone feel the need to look at old tv shows and tell us how not woke they were. jesus christ its already over you cant cancel it now. move on for christ sakes.

Easy to go back and put 2022 enlightenment on a 2009 episode.

This is such a ridiculous point and quite frankly demonstrates how society actually relates to this topic & in turn how preachy Hollywood has become.

Tell me your channel is running out of content without telling me your channel is running out of content.

This happened a while back. Asking others what they identify as wasn’t ‘mainstream’ or widely accepted yet…

Really...this what you're making videos on now...might as well dig up some old X-files episodes and check if they identified the aliens correctly.

You guys are really reaching for content

This show got me through a lot of broke nights in my college dorm.

Truth is on the street in America most people don't care either. It becomes polarized more so on social media where opinions, prejudice, and feelings are overrated and dismissed without consideration anyhow.

Holy crap.... Is this the life we lead now... Rehashing old things to point out how badly they come across now.... Its just too much, ffs this program finished many years ago.... Just leave it be...

Bones is absolutely one of my favorite shows of all times and even though 2009 was only 13 years ago the gender binary names were not that prevalent then I had not even heard of them granted I'm older but I think the show and it's cast was very open to everything there were some very Strange Behaviors on that show people and Angela was bisexual

I'm sorry but am I supposed to be outraged? Any human would be curious, heterosexual, and non heterosexual alike. Not caring about what makes another human tick would be far worse. If it was me I'd probably say "hey darlin, you've got this real freaky vibe happening, what's that about?" and then let the chips fall where they may. If you have to worry about every little thing that can offend someone you wouldn't be able to leave the house.

Ah, this is one of the Vids were I wish we could see the Tumbs down Counter.

Well, people weren't that big of babies just a few years ago i guess. I didn't care.

What everyone seems to be forgetting is that in Japan, there is a tenderness subculture, one which is recognized in the episode. They were being culturally accepting by respecting that fact that the individual didn’t subscribe to a gender. For 13 years ago, this was hella progressive.

This channel use to be good but....... this is utter nonsense and absolute rubbish.

It's a show,it's fiction. Get over this gender obsession. Oooooo it doesn't fit the pc police. Again get over it

bruh who tf cares

The gender doesn’t matter so much it’s okay to be curious (I am in agreement that they could have just asked) but what’s really the issue is the workplace sexual harassment (hugging someone to be able to tell what kind of body parts isn’t okay)

I love how the socially inept one was the best about getting around it.

I'm confused where and when did they go to far I thought what Angela did was funny. Man those were the days when tv shows didn't pander to people and you could make jokes and people understood those were jokes. And people could have a different opinion than you and it wasn't the end of the world

Wow this is SJW bull if I've ever seen it. God it's like hey let's tear down an 12 year old episode of a canceled show we can wrap ourselves in Righteousness of intersectional politics! Great job looper .

Doesn't matter what you identify as; Japan will treat all Gaijin equally.

The main character is my favorite. The best way to "represent" some character's preferred "association" is the same as anyone would do with the an obvious male or female. All this ado about gender today has reached the ridiculous stage. When I was in college, decades ago, I knew a young lady who had made the transition (to female) and our of respect, I treated her as she preferred, and never exposed her. There is nothing wrong with being respectful, not even today.

Point 1: non-binary wasn’t even a thing, or if it was, it was a rarity when this episode came out. Point 2: the character was only in this one episode. Point 3: pronouns weren’t a thing when this episode came out. Bones ended with its thirteenth season in 2017 which means this episode came out in 2008, far before pronouns or non-binary became prevalent like they are today. Point 4: Bones was and still is one of the most progressive shows of our time. Season 3 introduced an openly gay man working at the Jeffersonian, one of season 4’s first episodes revolved around solving the murder of a trans woman, and, as a few comments have stated, Angela is revealed to be Bisexual in thus very season as she reunites with Roxy, her ex. You can argue that nowadays the moment with the Japanese intern seems in poor taste but for the time it aired, I’m sure some child out there was like, “wait, is that me?” Seeing someone so androgynous with little judgement of who they are is inspiring. And while the team at the Jeffersonian is constantly asking “what are they,” It’s never from a place of malice but from curiosity, which I’m sure everyone has had to wonder about some person in their lives.

Sorry but yes this did happen quite a while ago and they were trying to make the scene funny people weren’t shoving binary nonbinary in your face. Like today I really think everybody should just relax and be who they are and shush about it. Why is everybody taking up so much time caring about what everybody else is. I don’t want anybody to take up that much space in my mind. Very much more important things to worry about. Like why doesn’t everybody worry more about child sex slaves, drug dealers, murders. But all we talking about is peoples sexuality.I also believe in the episode they weren’t obsessing over it they were just trying to make it funny. Do you remember when things were funny. We’re not allowed to laugh at anything anymore without it offending someone. I think that’s ridiculous. The whole next generation is gonna grow up not knowing how to be a gentleman not knowing how to be a woman and not knowing how to have a sense of humor. It’s sadD

what is this BS ?

Since the character is portrayed by a female why not just let the character be female. The focus should have been on the case and not the doctor's gender

Always been a fan of Looper last time I'll ever watch it

Vincent. Literally cried when he died. ‘ I don’t want to leave’

You wouldn't ask for people's pronounes back then and like in real life you would in a work area you would question if they are male or female and the HOW they found out by giving him a hug is SUPPOSED to be comedic in a time when people DIDN'T want to go through life not being offended ever like they do now.

I remember that there's a scene in an episode of Bones where the two main characters talk to a film director while he's filming at a swimming pool with people in colorful costumes chasing women. What was that episode called?

I know this is old I’m 68yrs old I worked at a nursing home when I was around 26yrs old. I was in the room with one of my patients who was 89yrs old she ask me if the person in the room with us was a man or woman I keep say be quiet, but she continued to ask so I told her to ask if she wanted to know and she asked “ are you a man or a woman” older people don’t have an easy time excepting change sometimes. We’re trying to process so we can understand. There are too many before you have to process something new. I don’t mean it to disrespectful.

Let's just say I have a "vested interested" in this topic and I couldn't through this video. Not asking for a gender pronoun, on a show depicting serial killers,s, violence sexual assault, etc and it's the gender pronouns that go too far? I believe this is the looper video that goes too far.

I am watching the reruns of Bones I love bones

The only thing that came close to "going too far" in this episode for me was touching Tanaka without consent. And that's true of any gender. But in real life, it's very often instinctive and automatic for people to touch others. If you have a problem, it's also on you to specify it. You don't like to be touched - please don't. As someone born intersex, you get to be much less sensitive (and I imagine much more playful) about this than current "woke" culture seems to freak out about. People nowdays seem to INSIST that I tell them my "preferred pronouns". They seem upset when I tell them that's not about me, it's about them. Call what they see, and we can go with that. I know they're trying to be respectful and I acknowledge the gesture. They're just missing the point. I don't "prefer" anything because there's nothing to prefer. What we're left with is up to you. Like anyone, your understanding of me is subjective. Own it.

I just watched an episode where they showed the flesh and organs falling off a corpse and splattering on the ground in a big pile. I clicked this video to see if they showed anything worse than that. I would like to know how they got away with so much gore...

Seems like every show/movie has a gone to far. Ugh get over it.

Yeah, this is my issue with this PC culture. We have to, as a society, understand that things done years ago, are not as open as they are now. You cannot blame a show from 2009 when even now people are still fighting pronouns. You cannot go backwards, only hold current things accountable. It’s one thing if they were being racist, but they weren’t, they were acting exactly as the whole country would have at that time. Like Jesus fucking Christ 🙄

Great job looper, you've proven that humanity needs to end! Now if only the sun would go supernova.

I love this show and seen it 4 times. This is totally PC so NO!!!!, love this show so today's views is just ridiculous

This is satire, right?

I remember this episode and thought it was strange. I kept thinking that it reminded me of the old SNL skit surrounding the character Pat.

Which wigs come from outside the country? which type of head is it on?

Which film crew is interviewing the carrier?

Good God…. People are offended over a 15 year old episode. JFC.

You are just looking for clicks at this point lol

Where is the .. Addicted to Wigs documentary?

I thought they were going to kill off Angle

There wasn’t this SJW crap when the series was shot.

Who. The. Hell. Cares.

2009 is a long fuckin time ago lol wtf

Outside the internet, no body cares.

We’re looking for a “new” old show to watch. Enjoyed the first three seasons, but now the writers seem intent on skankify-ing Bones herself. Kind of like the worst Hollywood types actually are? Hard to believe this show went on so long if they continued this direction. 😷

Loved the show. Don’t care for pronouns. At the end of every civilization, when all real problems like hunger and housing are solved, People make up problems to solve.

Bullfeathers. The only episode I didn’t like was when they knew how Sweets was killed but still denuded his bones. Not needed.

The actor was female. They artificially deepened the voice in post, and it was a good episode. Also, male or female, she had a 50/50 chance of getting it right, considering those other genders mentioned are as real as griffins.

Pronouns are your perception for thousands of years it’s been very simple, exterior plumbing, male interior, plumbing, female and yes, there was a very, very, very, very very small percentage of people born hermaphroditic. Most of them passed away during or before puberty.

the "gender pronoun outrage" wasn't a thing then.

It’s nit so Out There ! It’s something that many go through every day ,coming up against /meeting someone that just does not show a form of either sex and it puzzles many ! It’s a norm and should not be be shone up one as for its natural for people to be puzzled in this situation

I thought she was Japanese since she had the common trope that is a streak of blue dyed hair indicating that she is fact a Japanese character.

It wasn’t disrespectful. I had no problem with episode. What is disrespectful is how Hollywood cares more about influencing people to become numb to male and female genders and the strategic push to "see nothing, say nothing" on the public. If one asks, then it violates their rights. If one doesn't ask, then we accused of denying their existence or preference. How does anyone possibly win? I remember that if a Black person had 1 drop of Black, they were undeniably and uncontestably "Black". Now everyone in Hollywood and social media feels that is a Black person is light complexion and has curly hair, it is their business to identify their ethnicity. There's no pure ethnicity with the exception of Africans in the remotess parts. Point being now everyone is obsessed with who is Heterosexual, Homosexual, Bisexual or Fluid.

Dafug is non binary?

U r getting sad looper lmao

Ok, looper ignored forever - thanks.

Japan is not more forward, sure they got progressive people that are very accepting but they got conservative people that still think homosexuality is disgusting. Same as us, and just like how in some things it's better like violence safety, in some its worse like their xenophobia and SA.

The Eleven Worst Carriers: Drew Hamilton Apartments

This upload just shows that minds preoccupied with being offended will find any way to virtue signal. 🙄

Nobody cared in 2009 about this. You can't judge a show that at the time society deamed appropriate. Do better Looper!

A couple of things: The thing is that Japan really isn't accepting of LGBTQ+ rights. Please look at the recent news in regards to the government's views on same-sex marriage. Sure, there are people that are progressive but please note that there is a huge difference between choosing androgynous fashion and someone who self identifies as non-binary. It might be related, but it doesn't necessarily mean that someone who wears that fashion is non-binary and vise versa. I don't think the world was as aware to addressing what one's pronouns at this point in time. It's a crude attempt at a joke. From what I remember, that character was known for doing crazy shit like that, but it's SA whatever way you look at it. Attempts like that are interesting to me that does age the show to the what was deemed as appropriate during the time it was broadcasted. I was a huge fan of Bones while it was airing, but since I was in middle school during the earlier seasons, a lot of these moments flew over my head. I have a vague memory of this episode but this moment for whatever reason I had no recollection of until this video. I don't think I fully registered what was going on in this scene, which was why it never stood out, but I think any normal adult would register as inappropriate either way you look at it.

This is because this problem did not exist at the time of the show. This whole gender pronouns are relativity new. You can't judge a show based on what was acceptable at the time.

Part of me was expecting Looper to recover from the effects of its piece regarding Gina Carano, but apparently, it's still nosediving.

Its easy to judge but west and east plus now and than are two different thinks. Keep always open minded but when you jump out of the loop dont be affriad to say sorry. You can not turn the switch in a life time this takes time.

This is a different time and I always thought it was a woman. It was to help the androgynous acceptance Angela was interested and it was something new to her. How it was played out. Growing up in the 90s , guys that want to be women were drag queens. You weren’t down the middle. You either like men or women. Wanting to look both is confusing SNL already covered that with Pat and Chris.

Seriously...

Casting an eye on the past with a social norms and notions of the present. Is useless.

No one cared about that gender identity stuff when this episode aired.

It wasn't that long ago? 13 years at least. Back then even Obama was against same sex marriage. Things have changed a lot more recently that you think.

unsolved wig head mysteries

Things were very different back then. If called someone they or it they would have felt left out. They would have sued.

Yep. a hug. It's gone to far now

Where is the wig carrier kicking?

You have got to be kidding me?

Brooklyns Most Hated Women

I know you thought your opinion was very profound.

Stop being so sensitive.

Why does the narrator talk so much instead of letting the actors speak their lines? So annoying.

Seriously?!? At the time this show was filmed and shown, non-binary/non-gender/whatever-gender wasn't really a thing. So to go back to 2009 and expect them to handle the situation the way it would be in 2023 (fourteen (14) years later) is absurd.

the episode aired in 2009, when not even the most liberal of liberals (myself included) even really had an opinion on nonbinary. instead of being critical of an episode from over a decade ago, how about celebrating how far we've come, while acknowledging how far we need to go. i mean hell, in 2009 we were just celebrating our first black president, that took 230 years of presidents. we can't expect society to change overnight on gender and pronouns.

Are wig carriers toys in ny?

This was a great show.

Pat

Dude the episode is from 2009 non binary were not invented then, my friend 😊

Prounouns ? Lol

If anything, Bones was egotistical and extremely arrogant. In reality, she probably would not be where she was in the show. Excessively condecending, too. There are episodes i want to yell at her.
