What would your reaction be to some of these questions from my inbox? Am I overreacting? UNDER-reacting? Thanks for waiting so patiently for this vid! Love you freaks!
@@annemckenzie183 that it was in fact real and he's not at liberty to say anything more than what we all see because it's not his place and give the newlyweds some space. also we all know for sure Smosh is planning something to celebrate, though at the very least not for us but for them.
I’m always going to be a Courtney fan. You are someone who genuinely inspires me to be creative and to be myself. You have the best sense of humor and I love when you are on try not to laugh especially! Thank you for always being authentic it shows your character and who you are. Love you ❤
From someone who identifies extremely similarly to you in terms of sexuality and gender identity, your videos make me feel so seen in a way I haven’t really experienced before! Please don’t let these creeps discourage you from continuing to be yourself and make these videos. Thank you for being you, and finding the time to put out content! From one queer femme person to another :)
For some reason I could feel how uncomfortable you were answering those questions. I’m so sorry about the negative aspects of this job, but as long as you keep setting boundaries and self love increases, you will have the right community with you that have only good intentions towards you ❤
You handled all the bs very eloquently, it blows my mind what anonymity/the distance of a screen makes people is okay to say 🙄 Q: your lewks have really broadened a lot this year! Lots of different cuts and colors than I’m used to seeing and they all looked great! Do you have any go-to fashion inspirations? Sites/magazines/people?
@@gracewachtel6141 Courtney posted that it was real on their Twitter yesterday. Shayne also retweeted an article that they talked to, saying they actually got married.
absolutely loving your personal creative journey Courtney. as a queer woman who knew you when you first joined, seeing your growth into self acceptance and confidence with who you are makes me so happy. do not give into the OF creeps. there’s endless content they can pay for, why objectify you?! i’m so sorry :(
yesss it feels like i’m just sitting and having a chat with a friend, i love this kind of vibe, im not a fan of all the fancy edits and over the top energy for camera, it’s nice just seeing court next herself and be relaxed
It’s not hard to respect someone, their boundaries and their personal lives. I appreciate you Courtney and you have made such an impact on me in so many ways. You are an amazing person.
Thank you for making this video, as someone said before, I believe you’ve really inspired a lot of lgbt+ fans especially the ones that have been around from before you came out. Also thank you for addressing the oversexualization of women, as someone who identifies as ace but enjoys showing some skin, the comments thrown around are absolutely disgusting and disrespectful. I’m sorry that people thought it was okay to send some of those questions.
I wanna point out if wonder woman is her favorite. So she talks about guys sexualizing Courtney or other woman then she opens a wonder woman book and sexualizes her lol hypocrite.
You can't control what people sexualize but with being said just because you think a girl is dressed in a way you think is provocative that doesn't mean you should comment or act on those thoughts with out some sort of clear sign of reciprocation
It’s apparently a little known fact that you can find someone incredibly attractive while still respecting them as a person at the same time. Courtney, you’re stunnnnning and I’m still obsessed with this new hair cut. ❤❤
@@uyuyuyuya To those who do it? Yes, absolutely. It’s a power thing and it’s more to do with self-esteem than anything else. The irony is that a video like this will attract more of that behavior than anything else.
I feel so sorry for you having to deal with all these weirdos. You're definitely not overreacting, some questions were totally inappropiate. You're a wonderful and very clever and creative person and I enjoy your presence and your vlogs a lot! Thank you for your content, Courtney and hopfelluy there will be less weird creeps in the future.
Half way through and I’m already perturbed. I don’t understand why people feel the need to treat others like objects. It’s very brave of you to go through with this anonymous q&a. Love to you, Courtney!
@@newmessage7719 I'm telling you, teenage boys don't say half the messed up shit that grown men say because society tells them it's okay, and by the time the teenage boys are all grown up, they genuinely believe that it's okay
Take a second to think about your own sentence. You don't understand why someone needs something that you don't. Well of course you don't understand - you never felt that need, so how could you understand it? If you were blind your whole life, how could you know what sight looks like? Are all of you 13?
I am SO glad you didn't simply brush the creeps aside. A lot of people feel that if they do call them out, the problem will only worsen or they won't be taken seriously, but it's so important to put this shit on blast and tell those involved that certain behaviors just aren't okay. You deserve a lot better from every community you're involved in, and I can't wait to see what else you do this year.
I'd say if you have guidance as to what questions you find acceptable to submit, but don't mention it it's hard to really justify receiving questions of any kind of topic. If someone posts a link to a way to submit questions anonymously on other sites like Reddit/etc, the implication of the anonymity is that the questions will often be about subjects that are more taboo, personal, sexual or intimate. At this point I'd almost say structuring an AMA or equivalent and specifying the anonymous nature of it almost implies questions of those sorts of subjects and areas if no guidance as to what is intended is provided by the answerer. I'm certainly not suggesting Courtney is at fault for not answering those questions (they kind of did in the sense that I understood them to be saying they would not be making something like that) and didn't just say something like a direct no, so people who don't pick up on meaning without a direct answer might not realize the question is now answered (if it hadn't already been answered in the past, I don't know).
@@nochannel1q2321It should be standard for people to know that asking weird questions is completely wrong, it’s just common sense so there’s no excuse for it
@@nochannel1q2321you completely missed the point. she called out people "asking" about OF as just being creeps who are demanding nudes. and of course, there's also the important life lesson that a lot of people seem to have missed: just because a certain type of behavior is predictable does not mean it's ok.
@@GeekProdigyGuy I didn't miss the point. When asking questions on YT described as anonymous the implication is questions you would otherwise probably not ask. This was the case. Being asked about OF on the Internet is ubiquitous among both men and women and if you provide an answer that's clear and definitive so "No, never," rather than "Nah, I don't know about that," that's all that's necessary. Or when selecting questions to answer, don't select those that ask about things you don't want to address. I don't think anyone selected the questions of those submitted for her to answer so she's choosing to so on her own.
I love how you consistently slay the weird assholes out there but also display your complete expertise and professionalism. This is literally big Wonder Woman energy.
but she objectified wonder woman in this video. she was literally being horny just because a woman was showing some chest. Sure it's a cartoon, but the implication is that showing a little bit of chest is sexual in her mind.
i know i’m late but i think you’re a hero. you seem like you have found something that you are so good at and enjoy your life. i can only hope to be as multi-skilled, confident, and as passionate about my life, identity, career, etc. as you are and you’re still very young. not to mention how genuine and kind you come across. love from a lost feeling 21 year old ♥️
court, you’ve been an essential part of my own gender/sexuality journey (thank you lmao) and it’s great to see your openness about it online !! would you ever consider diving into that more (however much you’re comfortable with) or doing more personal/life based storytimes? it’d be great to hear more from you on your own channel !!
frankly--they should not have to disregard men making gross, unsolicited, sexual comments and demands in their inbox! the comments being there are the problem.
Nah, calling them assholes out is good. Let them know how wrong they are for expecting nudes from any female celebrity. Women (or women presenting people) aren't here for your entertainment, men.
people are so weird and terrible I literally don't know how you deal with it all lol thank you for being such a genuine person and someone I look up to because you are ICONIC, love you lots keep evolving and living life to the fullest you are amazing 💜
What do you think was the biggest contributing factor to finding yourself and feeling more confident? Is it things like meditation/therapy? Location? Social circle? What can someone do to put themselves in a position to feel capable of self growth? Completely individual obviously, but just curious what was your path? Also so much love to you✌️
Honestly, YOU guys. AKA, support. Having a good support system, and BELIEVING the love that they give me. That gives me so much confidence. Also, we're all dying! Life is an open world game! We're not stuck! Take up space! Play!
@@Co_mill Merch?? I feel like I need both this and "google titties and LEAVE ME ALONE" on some shirts 😁 (I'm actually saving "take up space" to mention to my therapist, fr!)
This video ended up being far more uncomfortable than I expected, but only because you didn't cut the questions I expected you to cut. This was very real and blunt, and while painful, also refreshing. That so many people who follow your personal channel would send those things is really frustrating. For some reason I expected that only the actual, genuine fans would've made their way here. I guess I can still be naïve at this age.
This is so Courtney, I can't even explain it in another way 😅😅 great vid as always, Court! You keep being true and unfiltered, and we NEED people to be real on this platform (and life in general), so kudos to you for being a real one! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
You are so inspiring to me as a queer person. I have been watching smosh for the longest time and I’m so grateful to see myself represented by people like you and Damien. As a queer person who is GNC, you’re openness and sharing has helped me grow into myself. Love you Courtney.
So they won’t publicly date hmmm??? But I bet they’d share exciting marriage news 😂 AND the Shortney fans don’t annoy you, you say? Maybe cuz it’s been true all along! Come on say it’s so lol
some people are so gross;(. I'm sorry you have to go through all of this, its terrible. People need to learn respect and how to control themselves, don't let any of the creeps get to you, love ya Courtney!:)
Being demiromantic, I think I've come to same conclusion about polyamory for myself. Thanks for being so candid even though there are so many creepy losers hanging about. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Same! I have yet to meet or hear about a Demi in a poly relationship, it makes sense but I’m also curious if there are any out there who have the energy for it
@@Trash_Mimic Ahhh, yeah, sorry, I got trigger shy and removed my replies. You're totally making sense I think? I'll add back some relevant info so your reply isn't without context. I was wondering if Trash Mimic was talking about him or me. I also mentioned that I was in a committed polyamorous relationship before I knew I was demiromantic. My conclusion was that being demi in a polyamorous relationship can definitely work depending on its configuration, since it worked for me for years; however, for myself at this point in my life, it seems like too much trouble to find the right polycule with the right compatibility, especially considering how hard it is to even find one person with the right compatibility. I'd agree that open relationships would probably be way more difficult for me to accomplish, since I prefer to just be with one person, but I could see it working for an extroverted demi. 😂
I don’t get how people think it’s okay to say that you NEED to start an onlyfans it’s insane, also thank you for talking about your lgbtq identity so openly as a gay teen who grew up in a religious household it really means something!!
What you said about she/her but not being a girl resonated so much with me. I think I'm just "used" to she/her pronouns in a way that they're used for me but they're aren't me. Ya know?
@@Co_mill Gender is such a wild concept! I was literally just talking with my therapist about how I'm not a girl, but I was raised a girl and that's why I relate to the female experience. Cause i didn't have a different experience. But in my heart, brain, and body I know I'm not a girl. Just a person who had the female experience
Well that just sounds like mental illness in a nutshell. It's like someone or something has indoctrinated you to believe such a delusional fantasy and it's pretty sad to witness.
i saw someone describe it like this 'i want people to use she/her pronouns for me in the way we use she/her pronouns for the moon (like 'the moons so pretty, she's slaying') in a way where i have a feminine aura but i 'm not explicity a girl.
Makes me really annoyed how many of these questions are sexual in nature. Dude I just hope you know that you have people out here who are fans of yours because of how talented you are. Me for example - I'm you're fan because you're hilarious on Smosh. You're also my main fashion icon 💖
Can I just say that your openness about your journey of self discovery and coming out has helped me so much. I grew up in a religious house hold and your SmoshCast episode about queerness and pride was a huge factor in me feeling comfortable with my identity as a bi person and sharing my identity with those close to me. ❤❤❤
those first couple questions had me like recoiling into myself in disgust. ew. the shit that a woman on the internet has to deal with. I posted my face ONE time and got like three or four creepy dms. so much respect to you babe ❤❤❤
the only good (dis)honourable mention questions were "Birds?" and "Doja Cat" lol also what is that glowing orb in the background? it is distracting and pretty and i want one now
I am actually glad you made this video, kinda bringing to the light what most creators shy away from (for a good reason too). People online can be just straight up awful.
this is so awfully late, but you are such an inspiration. thank you for being so open (also please dont feel pressured to share anything ab your personal life ever, love you either way)
I am very curious about the stalking thing but totally understand why you can't talk about it. How do you get past that fear of public exposure? Are there specific steps you take to protect yourself?
I would love to see more videos of you sitting and talking about something, maybe storytimes or things you would like to do/try but you can't do at smosh!
you've been such a role model for me esp with demisexuality and now realizing that you're with shayne like I feel so validated because your experiences sort of align with mine and my boyfriend's in that regard. you're literally my role model court🥲🥹
As a Christian man, I STRONGLY believe that the fact of men treat women like this (asking them these explicit questions like, starting an OnlyFans, or asking to send nudes or post things like that on the internet) is extremely unacceptable. Just because we find a woman, who is an influencer online, whether it be a RU-vidr, an influencer on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, or whatever attractive, doesn't mean we should ask them to post stuff like that. It makes them feel uncomfortable and in most cases, ticks them off. As a human being, I choose to respect women because they are fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God, and as humans (men and women), this is how we should see each other instead of looking at each other lustfully, and this is NOT a way to see someone or validate them. So Courtney, I (as a man, who, in all honesty, has struggled with acting like this in the past) am truly sorry for all of us men sending you the questions that made you feel uncomfortable about yourself and made you mad. We as men should know better than to do this. This should not happen to women like you. you are beautiful, you are funny, you are made in God's image, you are independent, and you are fearfully and wonderfully made by Him.
First, I appreciate you. Thank you for just being you. I don’t know how often that is said. Secondly. You’re hilarious and probably one of my favorite people on Smosh, I quote, you, Shane, and tommy in my daily life often lol. I’m also demisexual so I 💯 understand you there on that subject
These questions are insane but not surprising unfortunately. Regardless, as an AFAB person who is nb (they/them), I totally get the whole 'girly' being ok and 'girl' being not ok thing. Sending love and support! (I'm late in commenting but shhhhh)
How does it feel knowing you're an idol to so many LGBTQ+ smosh fans, especially the ones that have been in the fandom way before you came out? (myself included) Love you btw 💕🏳️🌈
Just came here to say congratulations! I just watched the TNTL Trivia Pursuit with you and Shayne and it was super sweet. I feel like it was a ‘peek under the veil’ video where we got to watch y’all really rib each-other, because if someone somehow found out, who cares? It was about to be officially out anyway! :D
I'm gonna be honest, I spit my drink out laughing at "Or google titties.... and LEAVE ME ALONE!" lol I wish a direct answer like that would actually stop the huge amount of creepers sending that crap... but as you correctly pointed out, I don't really think its a genuine question either, just a thin justification for shitty sexualization. I'll honestly never understand people like that.... I'm a straight guy, I think you're attractive.... but I'm also a human who lives in a society and knows how to act reasonably towards other humans... like come on guys! Its not that fucking hard to NOT be gross.
Courtney has honestly inspired me to try and come out, they seem so comfortable in their skin now and I want to feel that way as well. Continue to slay Courtney!!!
Have you ever done voice acting? I'm constantly blown away by the nuance and subtlety in your character work on Smosh and the way you can transform your voice.
Your take on people hounding women/female-presenting to make OnlyFans accounts is stellar and I'm sending people a link to that clip next time I'm asked why I don't like people asking for OnlyFans
YO I’m so sick of being seen as a sexual object only. It’s my resolution to stop letting people talk to me like I am one and this video just spoke to me on a spiritual level. Thank you ❤
When an uncomfortable question pops up, my face just does a 720 degree. A high percentage of people on the internet are not grounded to reality and no celebrity of any level of fame owes them anything.
I WANT TO DESTROY THE PEOPLE WHO SENT THOSE MESSAGES WTF I AM PISSED You handle it so well and YES to exposing and revealing this behavior People need to know that this happens and we need to be uncomfortable and be vocal about how uncomfortable this is. This is not okay
I like you Courtney and I think you bring so much to the cast and entire Smosh channel. I've been watching smosh for 3 years now, almost every new vid, you really grew over these years, you've become more confident and I congratulate you on that! I'm sorry people make you uncomfortable with their comments :l Greetings from Poland ❤️
I remember feeling so silly and dramatic for sobbing and crying for my mom after waking up from a surgery i had around 13 yrs old. i didn’t know that was a common thing! p.s so glad you are posting vids on your channel again!!
I didn't get to ask questions but as a cat owner i'm offended nobody ask questions about the cats. Names? Ages? Favorite toys? Do they prefer belly rubs or head scratches? Do they sleep with you or they have a preferred sleeping place? Also who's the spoiled one. Anyone with more than one cat has that one little buddy who we have more patience for than the others.
Grew up obsessed with Halo- master chief is mommy. Then I got super super into Skyrim and Fallout- I love open world games that are really immersive- like you can get lost in them
its actually horrible the stuff, not just courtney, but so amny influencers go through online. why cant people just understand that just because theres a screen doesnt mean there isnt an actual person behind it. some people need to grow up and let these people live there lives
You're a special person Courtney, you're good looking, make us laugh and are overall an energetic soul in this life. I'm glad I discovered you on Smosh and will continue to watch you on both Smosh and this youtube channel right here. I only have 1 request: Continue being you!
Here's a question since you're replying to those in the comments! Would you consider getting your own podcast? I love hearing your opinions, views and experiences especially with gender
Thank you for calling out the awful comments you get so often and I’m sorry you deal with that :(( I just want to say as someone who’s been following you from the beginning of your smosh content, thank you for all you do and for consistently bringing light and joy to so many of our lives, I appreciate all the hard work you put into your career and I hope you know how much love and respect we carry for you as fans 💜
