just a little side note before we begin
00:00:14
this video was bought on hius a while
00:00:17
back so at the time of the original
00:00:20
script the earlier Parts being made the
00:00:23
pride art was more new and everything
00:00:27
else was recorded like way earlier a
00:00:30
month ago so that's just some other
00:00:31
things sorry this took so long to make I
00:00:33
got distracted and stopped working on it
00:00:35
my bad the viy Hop universe is
00:00:38
definitely one that's never short
00:00:41
[Music]
00:00:44
uncontroversial or just something
00:00:45
Twitter users thought up there's almost
00:00:48
always something calling drama across
00:00:50
various social media platforms the
00:00:52
subject I'm talking about today has
00:00:54
definitely been a center of said
00:00:55
controversies and is typically used as
00:00:57
one of the reasons to hate the show and
00:01:00
that subject is queer people now just to
00:01:04
clear my stance on the matter I myself
00:01:06
am actually part of the lgbtq community
00:01:09
so this doesn't come from a standpoint
00:01:11
of I'm criticizing her work because of
00:01:12
queer people in the show or because F po
00:01:15
herself is queer also this video is
00:01:17
mainly on a basis of things I find
00:01:19
pretty questionable when it comes to her
00:01:21
representation of queer individuals it
00:01:23
isn't necessarily all factual
00:01:25
information whether you completely
00:01:27
disagree with me on the topic or agree
00:01:29
100% % thank you for watching the video
00:01:32
with that out of the way let's di right
00:01:33
into the actual topic of
00:01:35
discussion so if you first seen anything
00:01:38
that FY pop has created you'd know that
00:01:40
there's no shortage of queer people in
00:01:43
fact many people would argue that
00:01:45
there's actually two many queer people
00:01:47
being shown side note another funny
00:01:49
thing about that is that there is almost
00:01:51
no lesbians in hell of a boss
00:01:54
canonically confirmed besides Sally May
00:01:57
and like the teacher sure and the demon
00:02:02
lady but they're not even like lesbians
00:02:05
they're just a sefic couple so I don't
00:02:07
really know what to tell you almost
00:02:09
every character is in some way queer
00:02:11
what do I think about this well I have
00:02:14
two different stances on it the first
00:02:16
one is that yes I do think that nearly
00:02:19
every character being queer is a little
00:02:21
bit overkilled however I also do believe
00:02:24
that since it's her shows she's a lot to
00:02:26
do whatever she wants with the
00:02:27
characters in them usually no one bats
00:02:30
and I when every character is straight
00:02:32
so why should this be any different the
00:02:34
question remains is old the
00:02:36
representation shown good representation
00:02:39
and the answer is no not really now I
00:02:43
know I know don't comine me with PGE
00:02:46
force and stuff I'm not at all saying
00:02:48
that the pH pops representation is all
00:02:50
horrible or inaccurate however pichos to
00:02:52
put diversity at their core stereotypes
00:02:55
these shows play into are honestly not
00:02:58
good this entire idea has been subject
00:03:01
to plenty of Twitter threads and posts
00:03:04
as well as what I'm assuming includes
00:03:05
many other video STS like this one the
00:03:08
character eust game was specifically
00:03:11
discussed as being just downright
00:03:13
revolting to some other game there is
00:03:16
one specific Twitter post from sa
00:03:18
Survivor that I had come across months
00:03:20
ago but unfortunately wasn't able to
00:03:22
find again Angel to any that weren't
00:03:25
aware is an adult video
00:03:28
star who dresses very feminine and the
00:03:30
scen multiple times thinking very
00:03:32
uncomfortable smix gestures and comments
00:03:36
of some of the cast such as husk and
00:03:39
aler he is also depicted as a drug
00:03:41
addict although during this actual
00:03:43
series on Prime video it Shan that he is
00:03:46
trying to recover and overcome his
00:03:47
addiction this plays into multiple
00:03:50
negative stereotypes of G that are
00:03:52
pretty eyebrow raising to a lot of
00:03:53
people to have even been included in
00:03:56
these shows something that a lot of
00:03:59
people have complained commented about
00:04:01
is the fact that angel isn't meant to be
00:04:03
a perfect person and has reasons for
00:04:04
being sent out while this is technically
00:04:07
true there are other ways to go about
00:04:09
demonstrating this that don't involve
00:04:10
stereotypes that have damaged the public
00:04:12
perception of gay men for years in fact
00:04:15
most of the game men in the the zop
00:04:16
Universe are feminine and constantly
00:04:18
demonstrate hyd behaviors this a Ry who
00:04:22
truth be told I hadn't actually expected
00:04:24
to be gay is a better demonstration of a
00:04:27
gay man however he's still pretty SM and
00:04:30
very theatrical in any case the
00:04:33
depiction of these characters is really
00:04:34
just B in stereotyping and kind of
00:04:36
ridiculous to me Souls also plays in
00:04:39
just several stereotypes of game he's
00:04:41
dramatic SM Soul us substances and is
00:04:43
pretty feminine as a character most
00:04:47
people really like STS he's a fun
00:04:49
character he has good story and to be a
00:04:52
little more generous technically the
00:04:54
only reason he's like that is because he
00:04:57
believed was what bz wanted doesn't
00:05:00
really excuse the use of so much
00:05:02
stereotyping to any gay man out there
00:05:04
let me know what you think about this as
00:05:06
i' love to hear anyone else stick on the
00:05:07
situation as well and also tell me any
00:05:10
details I might have
00:05:12
missed before I move on i' just like to
00:05:14
say some positive things about VY pop in
00:05:16
terms of representation and some
00:05:18
characters I thought were great in that
00:05:19
regard we still some bisexual characters
00:05:22
in both hmet hotel and hell of a boss do
00:05:25
a good job of showing by representation
00:05:27
for the most part they don't really do
00:05:28
anything plan into any harmful
00:05:30
stereotypes one thing I love about H
00:05:32
boss is son fans representation in the
00:05:35
show there's lots of background
00:05:37
transgender imps and they don't make it
00:05:40
all front and center and make a big deal
00:05:42
out out of it but Le representation
00:05:46
Sally May not only is a great
00:05:48
representation of a trans woman also a
00:05:50
fun and interesting character I loved
00:05:52
her in the hellsbells short and honestly
00:05:56
thought it was really fun Husk in terms
00:05:59
of pants sexual representation which in
00:06:01
the next segment is about so I have a
00:06:03
lot to say about that is pretty good I
00:06:05
won't talk much about why as that's what
00:06:07
the next segment is about but I believe
00:06:09
the husk is one of the best cases of
00:06:11
pansexuality either show has to
00:06:13
demonstrated so far be El up is another
00:06:16
example of pretty solid pants actual
00:06:18
representation and last but not least
00:06:20
Octavia I was so happy when she finally
00:06:22
made canonically Ace it was just a nice
00:06:24
little talk I think a lot of fans were
00:06:26
very happy about now back to the things
00:06:28
I do not not like this is one that gets
00:06:31
unrising quite a bit viy Pop's panexual
00:06:35
representation viy poop has arguably
00:06:38
some of the most stereotypical negative
00:06:40
pansexual representation I've literally
00:06:43
ever seen let me read off some common
00:06:46
stereotypes of pansexual
00:06:48
people overly Smo notification to
00:06:52
relationships of the Unfaithful partners
00:06:55
and would do the devil's Tango with
00:06:57
anyone and anything some familiar yeah
00:07:01
now let me list off canally pansexual
00:07:03
zop characters that demonstrates some or
00:07:05
all of these traits Blitz Jazz Valentino
00:07:10
barasa osmodius and Barbie wire somewhat
00:07:14
considering we haven't seen her much and
00:07:17
in case you didn't notice that is
00:07:19
literally six of the eight pain seexual
00:07:22
characters fampus created and that isn't
00:07:24
good like at all in the official pride
00:07:27
month art fop release Chaz h a shirt
00:07:32
said if you can't see why it's a bad
00:07:34
thing well needless say the way presents
00:07:38
bsexual people isn't correct or any way
00:07:40
positive minus how skim be elab up who
00:07:42
don't have SE as one of their main
00:07:44
character traits and just so everyone is
00:07:47
aware I don't really think that having a
00:07:49
stereotype as part of your character is
00:07:51
that bad of a thing there's something
00:07:53
wrong with your characters become being
00:07:54
a little flawed but when the biggest
00:07:57
part of your character is The Stereotype
00:07:59
that that's when it becomes a problem
00:08:01
just like with the amalon characters the
00:08:03
problem isn't the existence of The
00:08:04
Stereotype but the fact that the
00:08:06
stereotype is so present that it's the
00:08:08
most vital part of their character these
00:08:10
characters are genuinely good characters
00:08:12
the exception being Chaz as I genuinely
00:08:14
didn't like anything about him besides
00:08:16
his design for the most part they all
00:08:19
have character depth again the exception
00:08:21
being Chaz and be with the addition of
00:08:23
Valentino because we don't really know
00:08:25
anything about his life before
00:08:27
and all he is is really just absolute
00:08:30
worst to Angel the problem isn't really
00:08:33
the actual characters but just the fact
00:08:35
that they're essentially just the
00:08:36
manifestation of these stereotypes
00:08:39
actually there's plenty of pansexual
00:08:40
people out there that actually act like
00:08:42
this and amalon people I'm not going to
00:08:45
deny that but using that as a key
00:08:47
character element for these characters
00:08:50
really it all just seems like it comes
00:08:51
down to the fetishization of quer people
00:08:54
but does outrageous and completely untr
00:08:56
stereotyping there are lots of shows
00:08:57
with the nice and queer characters that
00:08:59
actually make people feel seeing more
00:09:01
represented and another thing FY bom shs
00:09:04
care about male sa survivors when it
00:09:06
comes to playing it out between these
00:09:08
queer characters is an edgy joke she's
00:09:11
all for it overall instead a take away
00:09:14
from this is that it's okay to have a
00:09:15
bunch of queer characters it's okay to
00:09:17
play into some stereotyping but
00:09:19
glorifying supporting and pushing out
00:09:21
these harmful ideologies does literally
00:09:23
nothing for the queer Community except
00:09:24
put them back right where they
00:09:26
started but yeah I just wanted to get m
00:09:29
two cents in because I feel like this
00:09:31
topic isn't really talked about as much
00:09:35
as I think it should be especially in
00:09:38
Hell basas more talked about about hasb
00:09:40
been Hotel specifically surrounding
00:09:41
Angels us and so again like I said at
00:09:44
the beginning of the video if I missed
00:09:46
anything you would think there's ways I
00:09:48
could improve the style or just anything
00:09:50
about the video let me know cuz I might
00:09:53
making more of these in the future if
00:09:54
any topics come up that you guys would
00:09:55
like me to cover or do a video say about
00:10:00
but anyways thanks for watching and make
00:10:03
sure to like and comment it would really
00:10:07
help a lot
