Latest / THINK BEFORE YOU SLEEP / How Woke Channels Are Radicalizing People
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I wanted to take the opportunity to make a video
- 0:02Speaker 1: about something that's made me pretty frustrated lately. This is
- 0:04Speaker 1: a video essay about the groomer narrative. The word groomer
- 0:07Speaker 1: has lost all meaning because conservatives won't stop saying it
- 0:10Speaker 1: to cartoons. It's basically just a buzzword for homophobes to
- 0:13Speaker 1: signal how much they think about children.
- 0:15Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever rolled my eyes at something
- 0:17Speaker 2: before as hard as I just did at that last statement.
- 0:20Speaker 2: Wanting to keep children from viewing explicit content makes you
- 0:23Speaker 2: a child abuser? Did Hassan write this video? Because that
- 0:26Speaker 2: sounds like a take he would have. Wait, Hassan can't write.
- 0:29Speaker 2: But at the very least, this guy definitely scripted his
- 0:32Speaker 2: video when he was high. Well, anyway, for the past
- 0:35Speaker 2: few weeks, I've been going down the groomer denial rabbit
- 0:38Speaker 2: hole because of this video that I made here. During
- 0:40Speaker 2: this time, I've watched many people who rightfully say that
- 0:43Speaker 2: child beauty pageants and child marriage are wrong, yet they'll
- 0:46Speaker 2: completely deny the sexually explicit behavior that occurs at family-friendly
- 0:50Speaker 2: drag shows. So when it comes to owning the cons
- 0:53Speaker 2: on weird stuff like child marriage, though I haven't seen
- 0:55Speaker 2: any mainstream conservatives support that, Creators like this guy, Ethan,
- 0:59Speaker 2: are all for it. But when someone points out, hey,
- 1:01Speaker 2: they're hosting stripper dances at bars for kids with performers
- 1:04Speaker 2: who go by names like Loose in the Behind, then it's, well,
- 1:07Speaker 2: that doesn't happen, and you're a homophobe for talking about it.
- 1:10Speaker 3: Children are generally not present at drag shows hosted in bars.
- 1:14Speaker 2: Generally, kids should never go to drag shows and bars,
- 1:17Speaker 2: especially bars with signs that say, it's not going to
- 1:20Speaker 2: lick itself. This should not be a thing that happens.
- 1:23Speaker 2: How do we even live in a world where this
- 1:25Speaker 2: isn't something that everyone agrees on?
- 1:26Speaker 3: Kitty Demure is a drag performer, and she joins me now.
- 1:30Speaker 3: So Kitty, you don't perform in front.
- 1:33Speaker 4: Of children, do you?
- 1:34Speaker 3: No, nor would I. If I was performing for an
- 1:37Speaker 3: audience and I saw a child, I would walk out.
- 1:40Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't see why that isn't a common take.
- 1:42Speaker 2: I don't see why these guys aren't mortified when they
- 1:44Speaker 2: see kids in the audience. This is just as bad
- 1:47Speaker 2: as when idiot parents bring their six-year-old children to concerts
- 1:50Speaker 2: that clearly aren't child-friendly.
- 1:51Speaker 3: So why do these drag queens keep foisting these performances
- 1:57Speaker 3: on children? Well, a lot of the performers, I can
- 2:00Speaker 3: only speak for the performers, a lot of them are
- 2:02Speaker 3: just like low-level wage workers. If you notice, some of
- 2:06Speaker 3: them aren't the most beautiful, the most talented. They're typically
- 2:10Speaker 3: from a local club or dive bar.
- 2:12Speaker 2: That's hilarious. He just said it was a skill issue.
- 2:15Speaker 2: I mean, it makes sense, especially considering that there are
- 2:18Speaker 2: things like a ton of women having no problem marketing
- 2:20Speaker 2: adult content to kids on Twitch because they can't compete
- 2:23Speaker 2: with more skilled e-girls on adult platforms. And of course,
- 2:27Speaker 2: I have yet to see creators such as the main
- 2:29Speaker 2: subject of this video, EthanIsOnline, actually discuss the material that
- 2:32Speaker 2: conservatives or Twitter accounts like Gays Against Groomers are mad about.
- 2:36Speaker 2: This is despite the fact that Ethan actually does show
- 2:39Speaker 2: clips like this during a whole compilation of his enemies
- 2:42Speaker 2: discussing the issue, who are very clearly talking about inappropriate
- 2:45Speaker 2: sexual environments that kids have been put in, or sexually
- 2:48Speaker 2: explicit material in books like Genderqueer being available to minors
- 2:52Speaker 2: in school libraries. It's not merely about children being exposed
- 2:55Speaker 2: to gay people. But does he talk about any of
- 2:57Speaker 2: this stuff? No, he just calls conservatives bigots who hate
- 3:01Speaker 2: LGBT people with no actual evidence of that, and moves on.
- 3:05Speaker 2: He does, however, give us a history lesson.
- 3:07Speaker 1: It's 1977, the same year Star Wars first premieres in theaters.
- 3:11Speaker 1: But 1977 is also the same year the Save Our
- 3:14Speaker 1: Children Coalition was formed. Thanks to the efforts of Save
- 3:17Speaker 1: Our Children, laws protecting gay people from discrimination and protecting
- 3:20Speaker 1: their rights to housing and public services were stripped all
- 3:23Speaker 1: over the country in the late 70s. This exact thing
- 3:26Speaker 1: happened in Minnesota, and overnight... Gay people were allowed to
- 3:30Speaker 1: be rejected from job applications and housing applications just because
- 3:34Speaker 1: they were gay.
- 3:35Speaker 2: Yes, that all sucks. It was not very fun to
- 3:37Speaker 2: be a gay person before like the year 2000. Interesting
- 3:40Speaker 2: that he shows a clip of Joe Biden here, a
- 3:43Speaker 2: man who has opposed gay rights for most of his
- 3:45Speaker 2: political career.
- 3:46Speaker 3: The Defense of Marriage Act, where we've all voted, not
- 3:48Speaker 3: where I voted and others said, look, marriage is between
- 3:51Speaker 3: a man and a woman. and states must respect that.
- 3:54Speaker 2: That was from 2006. I actually can't find any evidence
- 3:57Speaker 2: that him or Obama supported gay marriage until their second term.
- 4:01Speaker 2: They definitely didn't support it when they took office, and
- 4:04Speaker 2: they only flipped in support of it when it was
- 4:05Speaker 2: politically convenient.
- 4:07Speaker 4: Very brave.
- 4:08Speaker 2: But I'm not sure how Ethan's history lesson is relevant
- 4:10Speaker 2: at all. Are gay people being denied housing in the
- 4:13Speaker 2: current year? No? Then this point is irrelevant, and it's
- 4:16Speaker 2: not what conservatives and non-woke people are talking about. No
- 4:19Speaker 2: one is trying to stop gay people from buying a
- 4:21Speaker 2: house in the current year. How about talking about what
- 4:24Speaker 2: people actually have a problem with, which is children being
- 4:26Speaker 2: exposed to sexualized content? No? Instead, he says this.
- 4:31Speaker 1: In 2023, any fucking freak bozo, no matter who they are,
- 4:35Speaker 1: can pop up on your YouTube screen and talk about
- 4:37Speaker 1: how fucking trans people are bad, and buy my t-shirt
- 4:40Speaker 1: that says trans people are bad, and now we can
- 4:43Speaker 1: start talking about really creepy shit about children now, because
- 4:47Speaker 1: we're talking about trans people. Conservatives just, you know, they
- 4:49Speaker 1: have children on their mind all the time. You can't
- 4:51Speaker 1: blame them for wanting to talk about children every chance
- 4:53Speaker 1: they get.
- 4:53Speaker 2: God, this guy is insufferable. You know what he's like?
- 4:56Speaker 2: He's like if the average viewer in Hasan's Twitch chat
- 4:59Speaker 2: made a YouTube channel and it got a decent amount
- 5:01Speaker 2: of subs. The typical Hasan strategy of deflecting and dodging
- 5:04Speaker 2: the actual issues while calling your opponent's stupid pedos is
- 5:08Speaker 2: very present in Ethan's videos. But let's get to the
- 5:11Speaker 2: part where he destroys the conservatives, Ben Shapiro style.
- 5:14Speaker 1: The groomer narrative is a weapon, and it's propagated by
- 5:17Speaker 1: grifters and useful idiots from all over media. And while
- 5:20Speaker 1: the groomer narrative may be powerful as a propaganda tool,
- 5:23Speaker 1: it's not very sound. But yeah, sure, let's say that
- 5:26Speaker 1: there is any sort of legitimacy behind the idea that
- 5:30Speaker 1: gay people are grooming kids. Not that there's any fucking
- 5:33Speaker 1: study to support that ever, but, you know, if that's
- 5:35Speaker 1: the narrative we're going with, We're gonna have to talk
- 5:37Speaker 1: some facts and logic. So, if you're a conservative watching,
- 5:40Speaker 1: this is the part where you're gonna turn off the video.
- 5:42Speaker 1: I know you guys aren't really huge on facts and logic, so.
- 5:44Speaker 2: Alright, Ethan. I'm ready for it. Give me the facts
- 5:47Speaker 2: and logic. Own those Daily Wire subscribers with your research skills.
- 5:50Speaker 1: A source that I found on this is a UCLA
- 5:53Speaker 1: Williams Institute study on demographics of people in sex offender
- 5:56Speaker 1: registries all across the United States. So, right from the top. Basics.
- 6:00Speaker 1: 80% of the people in this registry are straight. I
- 6:03Speaker 1: think we're done.
- 6:03Speaker 2: Got him, buddy. 80% of the people on the sex
- 6:06Speaker 2: offender registry are straight. Overall, straight people commit more sex
- 6:10Speaker 2: crimes than LGBT people. The cons got owned hard here.
- 6:13Speaker 2: Thanks Ethan for your wit. We can all go home now.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Or so you would think if you didn't actually read
- 6:18Speaker 2: the study. Good God, why don't these people read the
- 6:21Speaker 2: studies that they use? Well, outside of the fact that
- 6:24Speaker 2: the whole reason he brought this study up is pure whataboutism,
- 6:27Speaker 2: let me remind you that he's not actually responding to
- 6:30Speaker 2: any of the points that conservatives and anti-woke people are
- 6:33Speaker 2: making on this issue. But don't worry, Ethan, because I
- 6:37Speaker 2: read the study for you. So we look at this table,
- 6:39Speaker 2: and we can see that 80% of the people on
- 6:41Speaker 2: the registry from the study are straight, and 20% of
- 6:45Speaker 2: them are LGBT. Does anyone see an issue with those numbers?
- 6:48Speaker 2: I feel like any person with more than 5 seconds
- 6:51Speaker 2: of research experience would be able to point out that
- 6:53Speaker 2: there isn't a 50-50 split between LGBT people and straight
- 6:57Speaker 2: people in America. Gay people are a minority, and people
- 7:00Speaker 2: like Ethan should know that, because they never stop mentioning it.
- 7:03Speaker 2: Current day estimates on the high end put LGBT people
- 7:06Speaker 2: at 7% of America, which means that according to this study,
- 7:10Speaker 2: LGBT people commit sex crimes at roughly three times the
- 7:13Speaker 2: rate of straight people. Great job, Ethan! With friends like
- 7:16Speaker 2: you helping out the LGBT crowd, who needs enemies? Now
- 7:20Speaker 2: his interpretation could have been a simple mistake, so let's
- 7:22Speaker 2: say Ethan is not very good at math, which might
- 7:25Speaker 2: make you question where he gets the audacity to quote research.
- 7:28Speaker 2: But let's say he can't do math. Even if that's
- 7:30Speaker 2: the case, in one of the paragraphs directly above the
- 7:34Speaker 2: table that he read off of, it says, The proportion
- 7:37Speaker 2: of LGBT people in our sample is almost four times
- 7:40Speaker 2: that of a recent national estimate of LGBT identification among
- 7:44Speaker 2: adults in the United States. To be clear, the percent
- 7:47Speaker 2: identification at the time of the study was 5.6%. But
- 7:51Speaker 2: they straight up give him the answer, and he still
- 7:53Speaker 2: screws up.
- 7:54Speaker 3: There is.
- 7:55Speaker 1: No evidence that queer people are grooming kids into becoming gay.
- 7:59Speaker 1: Or really are harming children at a disproportional rate at all.
- 8:03Speaker 1: It's just not there.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no evidence of LGBT people harming children at
- 8:07Speaker 2: a disproportional rate, except for the research that you just showed.
- 8:11Speaker 2: I mean, I haven't seen a fumble this bad with
- 8:13Speaker 2: research since I did the video on Noah Sampson where
- 8:15Speaker 2: he cited a bunch of studies that you could easily
- 8:17Speaker 2: see were arguing against the points he was making if
- 8:20Speaker 2: you just read more than one sentence outside of the abstract.
- 8:23Speaker 2: And then he tried to cover that up in a
- 8:25Speaker 2: follow-up video after I pointed out how bad at research
- 8:28Speaker 2: he was.
- 8:28Speaker 1: Noah Sampson, Noah Sampson, friend of the show, good buddy
- 8:31Speaker 1: of mine. Yeah, he has a good mustache.
- 8:33Speaker 2: Of course they're friends. Birds of a feather flock together.
- 8:36Speaker 2: Ethan also is or was best friends with NickIsNotGreen and
- 8:40Speaker 2: participated in the false allegations and slander of SuperMega. I'm
- 8:44Speaker 2: not going to explain that whole thing, but if you
- 8:46Speaker 2: are aware of the drama, then it's very telling of
- 8:48Speaker 2: what kind of person Ethan is. Though if you do
- 8:50Speaker 2: want the full context, then Turkey Tom did a video
- 8:53Speaker 2: on the whole situation. Not to mention that Ethan will
- 8:56Speaker 2: flip out if people criticize the fat acceptance movement and
- 8:58Speaker 2: call people bigots for telling others to take care of
- 9:01Speaker 2: their health. So he gets offended when people point out
- 9:03Speaker 2: that obesity is a thing that people can control. Yet
- 9:06Speaker 2: Ethan thinks it's perfectly fine to make fun of multiple
- 9:08Speaker 2: creators who are bald or balding, which really can't be controlled.
- 9:12Speaker 1: His hairline. Also, if he takes his beanie off, too,
- 9:15Speaker 1: he has to take his beanie off. If I described
- 9:17Speaker 1: to you a balding white man with a podcast who
- 9:19Speaker 1: peaked in high school, you'd probably be able to perfectly
- 9:22Speaker 1: capture exactly what this man looks like.
- 9:24Speaker 2: That's really funny when it comes from a guy who
- 9:26Speaker 2: obviously doesn't take care of his health, a guy who
- 9:29Speaker 2: dresses like he still lives with his parents, and a
- 9:31Speaker 2: guy who constantly brags about smoking weed, despite having asthma.
- 9:35Speaker 1: Also, I have asthma, and a lot of, like, heavier
- 9:37Speaker 1: people do as well.
- 9:38Speaker 2: Maybe put that vape pen down for a minute and
- 9:40Speaker 2: give your lungs a break. Certainly nobody should be listening
- 9:43Speaker 2: to this guy on any topics that involve health, nor
- 9:45Speaker 2: should they be listening to him on topics that require research,
- 9:48Speaker 2: because that error that I talked about isn't the only
- 9:50Speaker 2: fumble that Ethan made. Now I will apologize that you'll
- 9:53Speaker 2: have to pay close attention, because he goes through these
- 9:56Speaker 2: next couple of things quickly, and it's easy to miss
- 9:58Speaker 2: what he's saying.
- 9:59Speaker 1: Queer people are more likely to be incarcerated. 84% of
- 10:02Speaker 1: queer sex offenders have been to prison or jail.
- 10:05Speaker 2: He says that LGBT people are more likely to be incarcerated,
- 10:08Speaker 2: because he added up the values in the prison and
- 10:10Speaker 2: jail-only columns, and the LGBT numbers were higher than the
- 10:14Speaker 2: numbers for straight people. So his narrative is that LGBT
- 10:17Speaker 2: people are experiencing unfair discrimination because they go to jail
- 10:21Speaker 2: more often for sex crimes and serve longer sentences, which
- 10:25Speaker 2: means they're being oppressed. Unfortunately, Ethan, you can't determine that
- 10:29Speaker 2: by just looking at the numbers, because LGBT people might
- 10:33Speaker 2: be going to jail or prison more often because they
- 10:35Speaker 2: commit more crimes or more severe crimes. People don't always
- 10:39Speaker 2: go to jail on their first offense. Where is your
- 10:41Speaker 2: evidence that these LGBT sex offenders are being unjustly incarcerated
- 10:45Speaker 2: by a more biased court system? because personally, I don't
- 10:48Speaker 2: see any. Ethan is just seeing a disparity and assuming
- 10:52Speaker 2: it's because of oppression. Now if only this study included
- 10:55Speaker 2: some sort of information about the crimes being committed that
- 10:58Speaker 2: would let us know if oppression was actually occurring. Oh wait,
- 11:02Speaker 2: it does. It turns out that LGBT people go to
- 11:05Speaker 2: prison more often because they abuse more people. There's more
- 11:08Speaker 2: numbers that he gave on prison statistics, but the disparities
- 11:11Speaker 2: aren't that big and they can easily be explained away
- 11:14Speaker 2: when you account for the number of crimes committed. But wow,
- 11:17Speaker 2: it's this kind of lazy research that makes titles like
- 11:19Speaker 2: Lazy Content is Radicalizing People extremely ironic. Yes, when you're
- 11:24Speaker 2: too lazy to actually look at the numbers and use
- 11:27Speaker 2: critical thinking skills, you will radicalize people into believing there's
- 11:30Speaker 2: unfair discrimination when there's actually not. What a crowd of
- 11:34Speaker 2: people to run the oppression narrative on, by the way.
- 11:36Speaker 2: A bunch of child abusers. Most of these crimes, LGBT
- 11:39Speaker 2: or straight, are sex crimes against minors. But we aren't done.
- 11:43Speaker 2: We have one more galaxy brain take from Ethan here
- 11:46Speaker 2: on this study.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Keep in mind, these straight people that are getting shorter
- 11:49Speaker 1: sentences or sometimes not seeing jail at all are doing
- 11:52Speaker 1: more sexual assault of minors, indecent exposure, more molestation, more
- 11:57Speaker 1: illegal recording, and more solicitation, which would cover grooming.
- 12:01Speaker 2: Holy crap, I can't believe there's someone who is worse
- 12:03Speaker 2: at research than Noah Sampson. He's like, straight people have
- 12:07Speaker 2: a higher percentage of solicitation than gay people. The numbers
- 12:10Speaker 2: are 8% and 7.8%. Are you kidding? Do you guys
- 12:14Speaker 2: remember when Noah Sampson tried to gaslight everyone when I
- 12:17Speaker 2: pointed out that men play video games 20% more than
- 12:19Speaker 2: women do? And he's like, 20% more is not even
- 12:23Speaker 2: that big of a deal. It's just 15 minutes a day.
- 12:26Speaker 2: If that's true, then women making 20% less money in
- 12:28Speaker 2: the workplace than men shouldn't be that big of a deal, right? Anyway,
- 12:33Speaker 2: Noah's friend here is talking about a 2.5% difference and
- 12:36Speaker 2: trying to make it look like the Grand Canyon. Yes,
- 12:39Speaker 2: the math is correct on that. It's a 2.5% difference
- 12:42Speaker 2: between 8 and 7.8. Considering that only 1,000 people were
- 12:46Speaker 2: studied here, with a difference that small, you could have
- 12:48Speaker 2: easily closed the gap by surveying more people, or by
- 12:51Speaker 2: surveying a different group of people. I'm going to throw
- 12:54Speaker 2: out the data point on voyeurism because it doesn't happen
- 12:56Speaker 2: that often on either end, but look at these categories.
- 12:59Speaker 2: Almost the same number in every one, and if we're
- 13:02Speaker 2: adjusting for population size, you have to note that LGBT
- 13:05Speaker 2: people are committing these crimes at almost four times the rate.
- 13:09Speaker 2: Interesting that Ethan said nothing about the category that LGBT
- 13:12Speaker 2: people were higher in, which was owning, manufacturing, or distributing
- 13:16Speaker 2: sexually explicit material of minors. He couldn't have missed it.
- 13:19Speaker 2: It's the first category on the list. Why make this
- 13:22Speaker 2: big deal about how conservatives don't like to look at
- 13:24Speaker 2: facts and data, and then leave out the biggest percentage
- 13:27Speaker 2: gap on the charts? This guy was making a mountain
- 13:29Speaker 2: out of a 0.2% difference when there's a 6% difference
- 13:31Speaker 2: on the first data point. I mean, this makes you
- 13:35Speaker 2: look really dishonest and really unwilling to levy any nuance
- 13:39Speaker 2: or information that makes your side look bad. Stuff like
- 13:41Speaker 2: that is what radicalizes people. Now surely he doesn't mess
- 13:45Speaker 2: up more, right? Actually, he does.
- 13:48Speaker 1: Let's talk about John Roach. John Roach was a Catholic
- 13:51Speaker 1: archbishop in the Twin Cities from the 70s until the 90s. Listen,
- 13:54Speaker 1: I know I said Catholic, and yes, it's exactly what
- 13:56Speaker 1: you think. It is pretty extensively documented how much of
- 14:00Speaker 1: a pedophile defender Archbishop John Roach was. It's no news
- 14:03Speaker 1: that the Catholic Church is full of creepy freaks. We
- 14:06Speaker 1: already know. Everyone knows. But all these conservatives... all say
- 14:10Speaker 1: the same shit about gay people. And listen, if you're
- 14:11Speaker 1: friends with pedophiles, and you say the same stuff as pedophiles,
- 14:14Speaker 1: I don't know if you're all that good of a guy,
- 14:16Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 14:17Speaker 2: This one's going to be embarrassing. Ethan throws a lot
- 14:19Speaker 2: of shade at the Catholic Church for sex scandals in
- 14:22Speaker 2: the past. Rightfully so, because some of the people in
- 14:24Speaker 2: the Catholic Church have committed some disgusting behavior. Here's where
- 14:28Speaker 2: it gets good. Ethan uses that creepy Catholic Church argument
- 14:31Speaker 2: to suggest that conservatives are a bunch of child abusers.
- 14:35Speaker 2: So I did some research and found that according to
- 14:37Speaker 2: Pew data, Half of all Catholics are Democrat. Here's an
- 14:40Speaker 2: older study from 2014, where it shows that more Catholics
- 14:44Speaker 2: identify as Democrat than they identify as Republican.
- 14:47Speaker 1: All he had to do was a single Google search
- 14:49Speaker 1: with some relevant terms to find this survey.
- 14:51Speaker 4: It took me 10 seconds. It's really not that much work,
- 14:54Speaker 4: but he didn't do it.
- 14:55Speaker 2: It literally only took me a minute of research to
- 14:57Speaker 2: find this data. I mean, it's fine to be bad
- 14:59Speaker 2: at research, but if you're going to fail this hard,
- 15:01Speaker 2: then being less arrogant would be a much better decision
- 15:04Speaker 2: when it comes to optics.
- 15:05Speaker 1: Why are all the pedophiles hiding with the conservatives?
- 15:07Speaker 2: I'll just leave this Jeffrey Epstein article here. Also, since
- 15:11Speaker 2: he made such a sweeping statement, all I have to
- 15:13Speaker 2: do is find a single example to disprove him. His
- 15:16Speaker 2: name is Jerry, and he got a 12-year sentence for
- 15:19Speaker 2: soliciting photos from minors and sexual assault. Actually, considering that
- 15:23Speaker 2: he used one example from 30 years ago of one
- 15:26Speaker 2: person being protected by the Catholic Church, and I technically
- 15:29Speaker 2: provided two examples, in an Ethan-like fashion, I'm going to
- 15:33Speaker 2: declare myself as the winner. At least my examples were
- 15:36Speaker 2: recent and not like, In 1872, a possible Republican abused
- 15:40Speaker 2: a child, therefore all Republicans are child abusers. On top
- 15:44Speaker 2: of that, he actually gave more examples of children at
- 15:47Speaker 2: drag shows than he gave of possible conservatives being child abusers.
- 15:52Speaker 2: I've never seen a content creator take so many L's
- 15:54Speaker 2: in my life. Let's go over one last thing.
- 15:56Speaker 1: Even though there's no evidence to support that you can
- 15:59Speaker 1: turn someone else gay, much less a child. But yeah, sure,
- 16:02Speaker 1: let's say that there is any sort of legitimacy behind
- 16:06Speaker 1: the idea that gay people are grooming kids. Not that
- 16:09Speaker 1: there's any fucking study to support that ever, but, you know.
- 16:12Speaker 2: Considering that you're terrible at research, I have to ask,
- 16:15Speaker 2: is there no evidence? Or are you unwilling to accept
- 16:18Speaker 2: any evidence that you could be wrong? Obviously this is
- 16:21Speaker 2: not something that can be studied directly, Because when you
- 16:23Speaker 2: do research, you have an obligation to do no harm,
- 16:26Speaker 2: which means a direct study would be immoral, because it
- 16:29Speaker 2: would be child abuse to try and change a child's
- 16:31Speaker 2: orientation for science. So any evidence to prove that kids
- 16:34Speaker 2: can be groomed in this way would have to be indirect.
- 16:37Speaker 2: And when we talk about indirect evidence, there's actually a lot.
- 16:41Speaker 2: Here's an NBC News article titled, Percentage of LGBTQ adults
- 16:45Speaker 2: has doubled over the past decade. If younger Americans continue
- 16:48Speaker 2: to come out at increasing rates... The proportion of adults
- 16:51Speaker 2: who identify as LGBTQ will exceed 10% in the near future. Currently,
- 16:56Speaker 2: it's at 7%, which means 10 years ago, it was
- 16:58Speaker 2: roughly 3.5%. This article was written in 2022, and if
- 17:03Speaker 2: you were an adult from the years of 2012 to
- 17:05Speaker 2: 2022 like I was, then you might have noticed that
- 17:08Speaker 2: there was a heavy push towards marketing LGBT stuff towards kids.
- 17:12Speaker 2: You had genderless parenting, inappropriate books in school libraries. You
- 17:16Speaker 2: had the later seasons of Degrassi that made every main
- 17:19Speaker 2: character LGBT. Ethan was a teenager at this time, so
- 17:22Speaker 2: he probably doesn't know that there is a stark difference
- 17:24Speaker 2: between the time when I was a teenager and the 2000s,
- 17:27Speaker 2: when the mindset was, oh hey, there's a gay person, cool. Anyway,
- 17:31Speaker 2: to the 2010s when the narrative was, we need to
- 17:34Speaker 2: make sure that kids know that gay people exist every
- 17:36Speaker 2: second of the day. So after a decade of that,
- 17:39Speaker 2: what a surprise, there are more LGBT people. However, I'm
- 17:43Speaker 2: sure one of these people will say, yeah, but that's
- 17:45Speaker 2: just because everyone's more accepting now, so people feel more
- 17:48Speaker 2: comfortable coming out. All you have to do to disprove
- 17:51Speaker 2: that idea is to look at the Gallup poll that
- 17:53Speaker 2: NBC is referencing and notice that all the adults who
- 17:56Speaker 2: are now identifying as LGBT are like freshly 18 Gen Zers.
- 18:01Speaker 2: You don't see a massive increase in the percentages of
- 18:03Speaker 2: people identifying as LGBT past the millennial generation. Most notably,
- 18:08Speaker 2: Gallup said that the numbers went up from 5.6 to 7.1
- 18:10Speaker 2: during COVID between the years of 2020 and 2022 when
- 18:11Speaker 2: every blue-haired teacher was ratting themselves out on TikTok, telling
- 18:19Speaker 2: people how they were replacing the American flag with the
- 18:21Speaker 2: pride flag, and indoctrinating elementary school kids with gender theory
- 18:26Speaker 2: instead of teaching them useful stuff like math. Not to
- 18:28Speaker 2: mention that Pew came out with a study saying that
- 18:30Speaker 2: trans and non-binary identification is through the roof in young
- 18:34Speaker 2: adults from 18 to 29. Wasn't this like only 0.4%
- 18:38Speaker 2: of adults just a few years ago? How is it
- 18:40Speaker 2: like 10 times that now in younger people? So there
- 18:43Speaker 2: we have it. A leftist mainstream news outlet, Gallup and Pew,
- 18:47Speaker 2: are all saying that LGBT numbers are skyrocketing right around
- 18:51Speaker 2: the same time that there is constant promotion of it.
- 18:54Speaker 2: What a coincidence. Here's the part that's more worrying and
- 18:57Speaker 2: why I think that the groomer title is appropriate. While
- 19:00Speaker 2: I do think the born this way narrative is true
- 19:02Speaker 2: for the majority of the LGB crowd, I also think
- 19:05Speaker 2: that there is evidence that childhood trauma can change someone's
- 19:07Speaker 2: sexual orientation. This is something that Dr. Drew says a lot.
- 19:11Speaker 4: The clearest way I can sort of help you understand
- 19:13Speaker 4: it is this, and this is an important concept for
- 19:15Speaker 4: everyone to get in their head, is that when awful
- 19:18Speaker 4: things happen in childhood, when things that terrorize us in
- 19:21Speaker 4: childhood happen, physical abuse, sexual abuse, or sort of the
- 19:23Speaker 4: paradigms of abandonment, something about those experiences, and I'm going
- 19:28Speaker 4: to use a biological sort of way of describing it,
- 19:31Speaker 4: wires our brain in such a way as to, and
- 19:34Speaker 4: this is going to sound kooky, but it's simply how
- 19:36Speaker 4: humans work. Terror gets converted into attraction around the age
- 19:40Speaker 4: of puberty. So we start getting attracted to people and
- 19:44Speaker 4: circumstances that really reenact the traumas all over again.
- 19:48Speaker 2: That being said, I found this too study that says
- 19:51Speaker 2: that gay men and lesbian women were significantly more likely
- 19:54Speaker 2: to have experienced child sexual abuse. That's some evidence that
- 19:57Speaker 2: something's going on here. However, that's just what the abstract says,
- 20:01Speaker 2: so let's look further into the actual study. This study
- 20:04Speaker 2: surveyed about 1,000 people in a California college classroom and
- 20:08Speaker 2: at a Pride Parade booth. Here are all the questions
- 20:11Speaker 2: they asked. They also gave criteria for what was considered abuse.
- 20:14Speaker 2: The victim had to be 16 or under, with the
- 20:17Speaker 2: perpetrator at least 5 years older. The perpetrator also had
- 20:20Speaker 2: to be at least 16 years old. Honestly, I think
- 20:23Speaker 2: that criteria is a little light because it largely removes
- 20:26Speaker 2: child-on-child abuse, where a child who is usually a prior
- 20:29Speaker 2: victim will do something like abuse a 10-year-old when they're 11. Personally,
- 20:33Speaker 2: I would like to see a study on this topic
- 20:35Speaker 2: with adults who were victimized under the age of 13,
- 20:38Speaker 2: because trauma during pre-puberty is way more harmful than trauma post-puberty. Anyway,
- 20:44Speaker 2: here's the chart that we're looking for. It shows the
- 20:46Speaker 2: number of victims who identified as gay or lesbian after
- 20:48Speaker 2: the abuse, and it's about one-third of the victims for
- 20:51Speaker 2: each category. Also note that gay and lesbian identifying participants
- 20:55Speaker 2: were far more likely to have been abused by a
- 20:57Speaker 2: same-sex perpetrator. That's pretty decent evidence that you can change
- 21:01Speaker 2: someone's orientation with trauma. It's not 100%, but it does happen.
- 21:05Speaker 2: I think if you had more questioning like the specific
- 21:07Speaker 2: age of the first instance of abuse and a definition
- 21:10Speaker 2: of abuse that includes perpetrators who are under 16, you
- 21:13Speaker 2: would see more participants saying that their orientation changed after
- 21:16Speaker 2: the abuse. Moving on, let me ask, what do groomers do? Well,
- 21:21Speaker 2: they expose kids to adult material. That act typically precedes
- 21:25Speaker 2: getting physical. On that note, as far as I've found,
- 21:28Speaker 2: this book Genderqueer has been reported to have been used
- 21:30Speaker 2: in middle schools. I can't show it, but this book
- 21:33Speaker 2: contains full-on explicit content. You cannot show this stuff to kids.
- 21:37Speaker 2: Middle school in America is ages 11 to 13. This
- 21:41Speaker 2: is not appropriate for an 11-year-old, and it's probably not
- 21:44Speaker 2: really okay for a 13-year-old to see this, despite what
- 21:46Speaker 2: kids commonly see on the internet these days. Also, more recently,
- 21:50Speaker 2: there's this thing that happened here involving New York middle
- 21:53Speaker 2: schools which was weird as fuck. These people should be
- 21:55Speaker 2: in jail. But young kids who get exposed to adult
- 21:58Speaker 2: material pre-puberty often describe it as weird and a frightening experience.
- 22:03Speaker 2: They describe it as traumatic. Speaking of kids who are
- 22:05Speaker 2: younger than 11, and often a lot younger than 11,
- 22:08Speaker 2: despite how much channels like Ethan's or Noah's will gaslight
- 22:11Speaker 2: you about what goes on at pride parades, there are
- 22:13Speaker 2: tons of adults doing stuff in public, in front of children,
- 22:16Speaker 2: that is not okay.
- 22:17Speaker 1: I've never been like a Pride Month guy. I mean,
- 22:19Speaker 1: this is the first year I think I've ever remembered
- 22:22Speaker 1: that it's happening.
- 22:23Speaker 2: Yeah, man, like, I don't even care. First of all,
- 22:26Speaker 2: I don't believe anyone has forgotten what month Pride Month is,
- 22:29Speaker 2: because in June, every major business has rainbows and shit everywhere.
- 22:33Speaker 2: Nice lie. Second, if you really aren't an expert on
- 22:36Speaker 2: this stuff and haven't been involved with Pride, who are
- 22:38Speaker 2: you to suggest that weird stuff doesn't happen at Pride? Now,
- 22:41Speaker 2: as a person who actually has been to a Pride parade... Well,
- 22:44Speaker 2: as a person who stumbled upon a pride parade on
- 22:46Speaker 2: accident while he was in Austin, Texas a year and
- 22:48Speaker 2: a half ago for a different event, I will say
- 22:51Speaker 2: that it was not child-friendly. Last but not least on
- 22:54Speaker 2: the groomer front, people who run adult websites are actively
- 22:57Speaker 2: trying to get straight people to watch LGBT content, And
- 23:00Speaker 2: those sites want kids on them.
- 23:01Speaker 1: I was just thinking the same approach in that they're
- 23:03Speaker 1: the biggest, they're everywhere, so they need to appeal to
- 23:06Speaker 1: every single niche.
- 23:07Speaker 2: And I think.
- 23:09Speaker 4: They've done a lot to.
- 23:10Speaker 1: Explore kind of every mainstream thing.
- 23:12Speaker 4: So what they need to do now is they need
- 23:15Speaker 4: to try to push stuff that's more less accepted.
- 23:19Speaker 1: Like putting a trans male or trans female in a scene,
- 23:23Speaker 1: you wouldn't get that on a normal mainstream site.
- 23:27Speaker 2: So test it out.
- 23:28Speaker 4: See if you've got a bigger audience with it. See
- 23:29Speaker 4: if you can convert somebody, right? Yeah, I think so.
- 23:38Speaker 1: I mean, like, think about it. Let's say you're 12
- 23:45Speaker 1: years old.
- 23:46Speaker 4: You're still figuring out your sexuality, maybe even your gender.
- 23:51Speaker 4: Wouldn't it be helpful.
- 23:52Speaker 1: To see not a celebration.
- 23:55Speaker 4: But just, like, maybe a normalization of something that you
- 23:58Speaker 4: think is what.
- 24:00Speaker 1: You want, you know?
- 24:01Speaker 4: Probably helps a lot.
- 24:02Speaker 1: I think it, um.
- 24:10Speaker 1: The guy literally just admitted to child abuse and said
- 24:15Speaker 1: it was a good thing.
- 24:36Speaker 2: So even if you deny evidence that you can change
- 24:38Speaker 2: a child's sexual orientation, there are certainly people out there
- 24:41Speaker 2: who say they're trying. But speaking of my last video,
- 24:44Speaker 2: where I go into the problem of freely accessible adult
- 24:46Speaker 2: content with the age verification being, trust me bro, the
- 24:50Speaker 2: very real issue with all the LGBT propaganda, outside of
- 24:53Speaker 2: the fact that we are currently in a birthing crisis,
- 24:56Speaker 2: is that when young people are exposed to sexually explicit material,
- 24:59Speaker 2: particularly if it's before puberty, that material is traumatizing and
- 25:04Speaker 2: causes them to develop all kinds of pathological behaviors and
- 25:07Speaker 2: mental health issues by the time they become adults. And
- 25:10Speaker 2: the great thing about people with mental health issues is
- 25:12Speaker 2: that they are extremely easy to turn into useful idiots
- 25:15Speaker 2: who will parrot any political agenda that you tell them to,
- 25:18Speaker 2: which is why I think the powers that be spend
- 25:20Speaker 2: so much time flooding LGBT stuff towards kids and do
- 25:24Speaker 2: nothing to help prevent 8-year-olds from being exposed to adult
- 25:26Speaker 2: content like arresting people at Twitch for the artistic nudity
- 25:29Speaker 2: rule change. It's not about rights. In terms of the
- 25:33Speaker 2: LGBT crowd, they have had public acceptance for at least
- 25:36Speaker 2: 20 years now. Literally no one cares if you're gay.
- 25:39Speaker 2: And gay people have had all the rights of straight
- 25:41Speaker 2: people since 2015. Where's the discrimination? Now when they talk
- 25:45Speaker 2: about LGBT rights, They talk about the right to give
- 25:48Speaker 2: kids hormone replacement therapy.
- 25:50Speaker 1: No queer people are coming for any kids. Most queer
- 25:53Speaker 1: people I know don't even want anything to do with kids.
- 25:56Speaker 1: They don't even want anything to do with kids.
- 25:59Speaker 2: Oh wait, that doesn't happen.
- 26:01Speaker 1: The amount of minors that transition in this country is miniscule.
- 26:05Speaker 2: Oh wait, I guess it does happen, but it doesn't
- 26:08Speaker 2: happen that much, so we shouldn't worry about it? I mean,
- 26:11Speaker 2: there are plenty of things that happen to small amounts
- 26:13Speaker 2: of people that we should worry about, like school shootings.
- 26:15Speaker 2: The reason we don't let 12-year-olds make permanent, significant, life-altering
- 26:19Speaker 2: decisions is because a lot of people like this person
- 26:22Speaker 2: regret it when they turn 18. When you say, LGBT
- 26:25Speaker 2: kids are going to be harmed if we let the
- 26:27Speaker 2: conservatives get in the way, do you ever think about
- 26:29Speaker 2: the kids who got mastectomies or took hormones, only to
- 26:32Speaker 2: decide later after permanently damaging their body that they like
- 26:35Speaker 2: their biological gender? What about those kids? This all goes
- 26:39Speaker 2: back to the arrogant Hassan style of arguing of, Anyone
- 26:42Speaker 2: who's not on my side is evil. I mean, I
- 26:44Speaker 2: watched this guy Ethan have a melty because Charlie White,
- 26:47Speaker 2: a non-political streamer, effectively a normie, thought that leftist modern
- 26:51Speaker 2: art was stupid.
- 26:52Speaker 1: Fascist propaganda and gamer streamer should not be saying the
- 26:56Speaker 1: same things.
- 26:57Speaker 2: I'm sorry your favorite YouTuber doesn't like exactly everything you like.
- 27:01Speaker 2: This kind of mentality breeds a certain kind of narcissistic
- 27:03Speaker 2: person who is terrible at seeing the viewpoints of others
- 27:07Speaker 2: and never listens to feedback, so the points they make
- 27:09Speaker 2: are incredibly weak like trying to own your enemies with
- 27:12Speaker 2: a study that you found that actually makes you look
- 27:14Speaker 2: very bad. It's even worse when you realize that the
- 27:17Speaker 2: biggest mistake that he made could have been avoided if
- 27:19Speaker 2: he just read the two paragraphs that were directly above
- 27:22Speaker 2: the table that he showed. The point being that arrogance, narcissism,
- 27:26Speaker 2: and always believing that you're right is never a good
- 27:28Speaker 2: way to find the truth. And only looking at things
- 27:31Speaker 2: long enough for them to confirm your bias like Ethan
- 27:33Speaker 2: does is a very lazy way of thinking. The truth
- 27:36Speaker 2: requires you to say, maybe I'm wrong. Is this data right?
- 27:40Speaker 2: What are my opponents saying, and is there any validity
- 27:43Speaker 2: to it? If you want the truth or the closest
- 27:45Speaker 2: thing to it, then you should start with doubt and
- 27:47Speaker 2: disbelief and see if the information still holds up. Anyway,
- 27:51Speaker 2: thanks for watching, follow me on Twitter, and I'll see
- 27:53Speaker 2: you in the next video.
