What a nice comment

1. Do you love your girlfriend? 2. Why did you moved to a town if towns aren't the most accepting areas anyway? Or have you been living in rural areas for your whole life? 3. So, the area where you lived during that period of time is a very conservative town, am I right? If so, why? Please, explain your answer in detail. 4. Would you like to have a relationship with a guy like the guy you met? Or do you really love your girlfriend?

@@jmrabinez9254 1: I love my girlfriend and wouldn’t trade her for anything 2: I didn’t have a choice where I moved because I was still in high school and lived with my family. And no actually, I’ve generally lived in small townships most my life 3: yes it is a conservative area. As to why, that’s just how everyone there was raised? Idk I guess it is what it is 4: I’m bi and again, I love my girlfriend and wouldn’t trade anything for the relationship I have with her now. It’s just a guilty pleasure of mine to reflect on the past I suppose

​@@jmrabinez9254 obviously not the op, but the interviewing is kinda weird. Life isn't black and white

​​@@jmrabinez9254 1. Bisexual people exist. 2. Well, yeah, people in conservative areas hide, what did you expect? Not everyone has the capacity to move.

im confused, what other implication could there be?

no way to look like girl or boy though

​@@aWERFRGT6545BGFGfrom the child's perspective there definitely is a way to look like a girl. long hair+ maybe wearing a skirt or smth

​@@jamwithme173that's a learned distinction, depending on the environment/who raised them, a child might think the opposite. When I was a kid girls had pretty short hair.

Yeah! Just my interpretation, I had always thought of the song as being about two boys/men, but I also love if the animation can still come across as gender-open and trans inclusive!

That's a great interpretation! I definitely can see that

Or maybe the other boy is trans

@@charlesancer6101 enby non binary its not your genitalia make you who you are its you gender expression

i can do that and im a female so no homo

shouldve added black pepper

yes, this was always me too, growing up as a girl and realizing i was gay. it lead to a lot of gender dysphoria for me. for me the song is reversed: emily, i wish i was a boy so i could ask you out, etc...

I'm neurodivergent so attraction has always been confusing for me but subconsciously I knew that it was wrong to be anything other than straight...I don't even remember I specific point where I learned this..I guess I just subconsciously picked it up

YESS i feel like thats what most of these comments are misunderstanding. Yes, there is a childlike innocence with not even having the vocabularity to describe it and the short and simple musical structure-- YET what hits the hardest is those last few lines. "[..]but its just not the same, cuz you're a man, and so am I" is such a simple yet self-aware declaration, highlighting the dissonance of fantasy and brutal reality that he can't overcome his own internalized shame. he is aware of a theoretical possibility for a relationship, but whats stopping him is his own guilt of what HE could never be.

Maybe he just doesn't like the d ever consider that?

Exactly. The other comments are just ignoring this like that seems super important to me

Or just not instinctively attracted to men

I totally get what you are feeling. One of my art teachers said that her favorite kind of art is when the artist expresses something with the sensitivity of a child who saw the world for the first time but with the concepts and understanding of an adult. I feel the same way.

⁠@@nova.millerno lol, the original song is by of montreal & came out in 1997

poor guy needs it...

Do teachers suppose to teach it?

It is brainwashing. You can maintain the boundaries of brotherhood and be close friends affectionate to each other but nothing beyond that.

love as a construct is bullpoop. its origin is egoistic in nature. all love should be banned and prohibited, unnatural, which does not lead to procreation even more so. or maybe even less so if you consider procreation an act of evil, cause existence is suffering and poop. if you consider love's effect on mental health it's a lie every consumer tells himself. altruism is egoistic and vice versa. so just admit that your love for boys comes from sick affection as does every other feeling and stop romanticizing your dirty sinful existence as a human being that wants to put his stick in a hole and held safe under a protection of lesser minded or hold lesser minded under your control. admit you're evil and stop all this stupid bigotry vs bigotry war

It's a part of life, you're not always in control of what goes on inside someone else, especially not when it comes to romantic feelings. Just roll with it, accept it, and some day there will be someone there who's special and ready to make a commitment. By them this will just be a memory you can laugh about.

I'm so sorry, I hope when you are old enough to move out etc. you can pursue the life and gender presentation you want

Yes. In our country (im Brazilian too) transsexuals still a gigant taboo. Principally with these alt-right protestants getting this huge popularity, and the Bolsonaro’s alt-right still being present as a strong ideology, unfortunately, this happens to all the minor and poor LGBT+ community on the nation. All luck of the world for you, greetings from Bahia, and keep going.

Deep down, he seems to have always known that u were a girl, which is really beautiful, i hope u can transition soon, im on the wait for that too, even if im an adult already

Thanks to all of you. :) I was embarrassed to reply these days, but I managed to find the courage! Thank you! This is a very delicate subject, and yes, we're still together and happy. With a little money that I got as a gift at the end of the year from family members, I managed to buy a beautiful women's wig yesterday. Now I'm waiting for it to arrive to see how it looks on me. My boyfriend and I are looking forward to it. My mother doesn't know yet, and it's very likely that her reaction will be terrible, but not to the point of kicking me out of the house, because she said she'd never go that far. But anyway, I'll finally be able to be happy with the way I look. I really hope that I'll have more opportunities to be happy in the future. Thank you for supporting me! ^^ I really need people like this in my life!

@@LeoAzevedo-yb4qu Muito obrigado!! As coisas realmente são bem dificeis aqui em nosso país sobre esses assuntos. :( Mas sabe, estou vivendo em uma bolha de pessoas saudáveis por enquanto.

Im trans and im out of the closet with my close friends and online as well. And in those moments im like "hey yk life isnt so bad, theyre pretty accepting". And then i get slapped in the face with reality of people who weren't raised to be accepting and understanding and realize thats most of the world. T-T

Its not the worst thing ever, its just degenerate.

@@UnfriendlyGothGirlbasically explained how i also feel abt bein trans. my father was never supportive of me, and always called me mentally ill out of the blue whenever i felt safe in my own skin for once

@@UnfriendlyGothGirl I'm so sorry you have to deal with that. You deserve to be accepted and understood and loved. It's even worse when it's people that you care about that dont show that they care about you like they should, especially over something like that. And sometimes I feel like most of the people in the world are horrible people too, but you have to hold onto hope that people will try to better themselves. A lot of people have been coming around and trying to do better, but yeah, we still have a long way to go. Good luck with everything

@@lmaoeyisdead Same thing I told the other commenter, you should've never had to deal with that and you deserve way better. Sometimes people are just so afraid of change and are stuck in their ways that they can't see what's more important than tradition, which is their child. Most people just don't understand, but others are just so hateful about it and it's honestly really sad to see. That's why I'll never tell my parents that I'm bi, especially not my dad, because I just know he'd flip out and I don't feel safe telling him. Which I know is the reality for a lot of us, and it makes me mad that things are the way they are because they shouldn't be. But either way, I hope you get all the love and support that you need and that you might've missed out on before, and just know that you're not alone in your struggles. Much love 🤍

Thank you so much :D

im confused though, boys usually have their homies and are friends with boys.

@@penguin22penguin22not like girls do 😅 girls hold hands, embrace each other, cuddle, and are not considered, nor need to be lesbians. Two guys cuddling is automatically seen as gay.

@@PearlsAnneHeels Oh. i mean im a girl and i dont think i ever hugged a friend of mine unless it was a forcehug from when i was really young... But i dont have much friends so i guess i cant relate, but i guess i see what you mean, sadly people say that when it's boys and not girls, that's what you're saying right.? Ok.

I think that EMBEEAY's comment is the first top-level comment I have seen in this comment section that interprets the text in a way that is not obviously idiotic. That should not be a high bar, but apparently it is. So well done.

​@@PearlsAnneHeelsLol I am glad to be from a country where holding hands or cuddling by men is not considered as gay. It may be because we're conservative country and that gay relationships are as good as negligible

I’m the passenger princess

I think thats just ur homie group bro,,

Your Homie group sound sweet.

You’re such a sweet parent😭🫶

THAT'S SO CUTE

Exactly. And you know what? Both crushes are equally silly, elementary school stuff. I think it's great to let your kid grow up and be silly and do harmless stuff and not get mad because a book or your own parents taught you that one is right and one is wrong. AND also not to ascribe a label to any of it because kids are the definition of "still figuring it out". I think culture war has kinda ruined childhood whimsy on both sides. I think everyone should feel the need to "come out" to their parents. Straight, gay, mspec, ace, or anything. I think that ability to be curious is a person's greatest tool of self-invention and understanding of all the wacky systems in this universe. I even think people should kinda stop hardlining labels entirely, because, as Whitman so perfectly put it, "Do I contradict myself? / Very well then I contradict myself, / (I am large, I contain multitudes)". But that's enough of my meandering manifesto, buried in a comment section under a short animation of a song capturing a naive, but truly felt emotion. TL;DR: Good on'ya

Thank you

Ofcourse you have a Jojo profile

were you ever molested

Ah yes... that's such a good way to think about it, from the perspective of a trans person. It's quite shocking when you find out, later on in life, that you actually are a man heh.

the trans community makes little gay kids like the one in this song think that they’re born in the wrong body so no, i dont think that should be celebrated 🥰

Thank you... it is astonishing what responses I've gotten, yours included. The stories people have are so beautiful in a way, and terribly heartbreaking. if my silly animation can bring comfort to anyone it means so much to me. Thank you :]

Damn, your comment maks me emotional. Had a similar experience with a good friend where i confessed my love for him and he said yes. We was a couple for two months and then he said he is not ready for a relationship. It was painful for me but now we are good friends again. I had other crushes and relationships but i still have this feelings for him and its hurt.

I can relate. A few months ago, I had a crush on one of my friends, she's a girl. She is just so nice and friendly, you can be comfortable around her. We both take art class and she is always impressed by my work, and I'm always impressed by her work too. When you see her for the first time, I think you might be scared of her because she's an anime kid hahaha, but when you get to meet her she's just the most humble, funny, smart, talented, and sweet person you could meet. I started to question if I was straight a year ago quietly, and my feelings for her explained that I wasn't straight, I honestly never really felt straight ever. Still having a crush on her, I tried to come out to my parents. Obviously, they didn't accept me. They said "God made men and women for a reason." And "So you wanna have sex with a woman?" And "You're just confused. We won't accept lesbians here." (I'm not a lesbian mom, I'm Biromantic. I don't wanna have sex with anyone at this age.) After a few months, I tried to come out again to my parents to see if anything would change. To my surprise, they said the exact same thing. By this point, I was thinking if I should tell my crush my feelings since she was Bi too. Spoiler alert, I didn't. I got a friend to do it for me. Sadly, she said no. Honestly, I understand. Having a crush on your friend is weird, regardless of gender. Even though, my clingy self wouldn't let her go, until I finally understood she didn't like me anymore so I let her go. I'm a proud Biromantic person, but I still feel regret and sadness for having crushes on girls because I feel like a failure to my family sometimes; like if having these feelings are bad and for the confused. I wish they could just know that I can't do anything about it, I really can't. I still sort of wish my crush was born a boy so I can be accepted.

@@LadyVenus125 you are not a failure, you perfect as you are. And i hope you parents come to the Point, where they realize that have feelings for the same sax isn't bad or horrible.

Thank you this is an incredible comment and it warms my heart to read this. You're very right about the stream of consciousness thing. I had actually created this animation in only a few days, whilst I felt some strong emotional connection to that song, so to see that sort of "transferred" to you and others is astonishing!

and P.S. thank you for sharing your story, I know that it's extremely cheesy to say this, but the fact you have even realised you're gay and seemingly accepted it, within yourself at least, is so important.

To have more moms like yours would've made the world a better place

same. my mom raised me in a very accepting environment where being gay was normal and ok (my uncle is gay and he suffered a lot with the rest of our family so she wanted to make sure her kids didnt go through the same) and yet ive still struggled with internalized homophobia thru all of my life. Hell ive known i was trans since i was 11 and yet im still coming to terms with it. Thats not even talking about the fact that my first crush ever was with a girl and i had a whole crisis over it at the young age of 6 years old (which is why this song resonates w me so much). Its really tough out here anyway. But i love my mother for not making it tougher. Just wanted to share that bc it surprised me to find someone else with a very similar experience, sorry if im overstepping.
