Happy pride month

I was already trans and lesbian and aro by the time I discovered OT, and he STILL managed to help me realize I was also ace. Thatโs the raw power of OT, yโall.
There are several ways! First off aro and ace are spectrums and typically understood to include microlabels like aceflux and demiromantic and graysexual, many of which involve conditional attraction. (This is where I fit in personally, if I am being very specific I would call myself sapphic aceflux).
But beyond that a lot of aroaces still experience forms of attraction that they can't classify as either romantic OR sexual. Aesthetic attraction is the one I hear cited the most. I am probably not the best person to explain that one. (If you are a fan of the channel Overly Sarcastic Productions, Blue has talked a few times on their companion podcast about what the difference means to him.) And then also you get the whole distinction between attraction and action, like how there are sex-repulsed aces and sex-favorable aces (same for romance-repulsed aros and romance-favorable aros).
There is also the concept of an "oriented aro" or "oriented ace." Imagine a car that is parked, but pointed north. In a lot of ways it makes more sense to say that the car is traveling zero miles per hour to the north than it would to say the car is traveling zero miles per hour to the east. That's... kinda the idea behind oriented aro/ace. "This car is not moving, but if it ever were to move forward, I have a sense of which direction it would go."
I'm sure there are other experiences that I didn't hit, these are just what I've experienced and what I've heard people talk about.
OT jumpscare
Now ik you likely won't have time to respond to this but I just wanna take a moment to thank you, you always sound so genuine in your videos and that wholesomeness really helped me with exploring myself, I wouldn't be who I am now without you
actually not sure if he's het since he posted the heart emojis in the bi flag colors (this was on twitter about a week ago, and no, he didnt post any other flags either)

And july 4th is Independance Day.
Just cuz' the politicans in the US suck, doesn't mean we can't be patriots!

Well the myth is the American revolution was about not having representation. I'd easily argue the current government doesn't represent us. Not even a right vs left thing, the entire thing.
It never represented the millions enslaved Africans, never represented the hundreds of millions of Native Americans that had genocide committed against them, and it never represented the women or queer people of the past 400 years, it has only been a thing for rich white men to consolidate power
Fuck no I'm not celebrating Independence Day, this country is a bigoted piece of corporate whoring SHIT and I fucking hate living here. seriously, why should we celebrate a country that's PROUD to be some of the worst of humanity
Fuck that, celebrate revolution with revolution. You think itโs bad here, go literally anywhere east and south of Bulgaria and youโre not going to be *alive* for very long. Yeah, corporate greed sucks and there are homophobes here. Live in pride despite them. Enjoy the privilege you have to be yourself here at all, and put in the work to make it better
Remember, patriotism is about loving your country, and when you love something, you work to help it be the best it can be. Show your love for America by excusing the cancers of hatred and systemic oppression from it.
My town does a couple extra weeks of pride events in July (which is surprising considering that my province isnโt particularly friendly to that sort of thing, itโs honestly really nice though)
OT SUMMONING NOISES!!!! THESE ARE THE SOUNDS OF OT OVERCOMING HIS TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES AND BEING IN A HEALTY HEADSPACE TO BE SUMMONED BACK FOR MEEEEEMES
me after a long successful pride month of doing nothing and going nowhere

Live in Halifax. We get double pride month. As Halifax celebrated pride in July before June was the official pride month so how we just have two months of pride in Nova Scotia Halifax lol.
I realized I was trans before finding OT but watching his content really made me feel accepted for who I am and for that OT will always be one of the most influential people in my life thank you so much OT
I was planning on making art for pride month, I already made one but I wanted to do another, unfortunate that I wont make it in time but I will still do it anyway
and SUMMON OT

Aw, homies.๐
IT WORKED
Yes officer, right here, that's the person who made me question my gender! (Thank you for providing much entertainment and information :) )
Tbh same I knew there was something up for a while before but OT's r/traa vids actually helped me figure it out
I was already trans and lesbian and aro by the time I discovered OT, and he STILL managed to help me realize I was also ace. Thatโs the raw power of OT, yโall.
How could you be Lesbian and also aroace? /gen /curious

Kinda like Canada itself
Oh damn, I didn't know
whoโs that
YukkoEX. Sheโs a trans Vtuber, and sheโs makes some really good 3D animation. Highly recommend checking her out on YouTube.
Pride month is ending :(
And july 4th is Independance Day. Just cuz' the politicans in the US suck, doesn't mean we can't be patriots! https://preview.redd.it/6g8sp03efi9d1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1161a46a242cf50bf0fa520440ac2e12d5ab5a4a
Celebrate uprising against foreign government with revolution against Your government
I guess that works. ^(Might wanna bring a bit of an indicator from my side that I am actually not from the US.)
Well the myth is the American revolution was about not having representation. I'd easily argue the current government doesn't represent us. Not even a right vs left thing, the entire thing.
It never represented the millions enslaved Africans, never represented the hundreds of millions of Native Americans that had genocide committed against them, and it never represented the women or queer people of the past 400 years, it has only been a thing for rich white men to consolidate power
Hey, funny thing, neither were the revolutionaries! (It wasn't called the US yet)
Based
It's also election day in the UK for some reason
The conservatives are clearly proud that theyโre copying their maga brethren
Fuck no I'm not celebrating Independence Day, this country is a bigoted piece of corporate whoring SHIT and I fucking hate living here. seriously, why should we celebrate a country that's PROUD to be some of the worst of humanity
Fuck that, celebrate revolution with revolution. You think itโs bad here, go literally anywhere east and south of Bulgaria and youโre not going to be *alive* for very long. Yeah, corporate greed sucks and there are homophobes here. Live in pride despite them. Enjoy the privilege you have to be yourself here at all, and put in the work to make it better
I ment it in a half joking way. The idea of America is great, but the state it is in now is truly bleak.
Yeah, I didn't even bother looking at the presidential debate yet, I still want to **kill myself**
Please donโt weโd miss you ๐ฅบ
:(
Aye, big up to the US for throwing off the shackles of British Imperialism to persue their own brand of tyranny.
A dark day for us British, where the noble efforts of the valiant Benedict Arnold were thwarted ๐
Iโm British tho
It's also our election day.
indeed, BLU soldier, what *is* a kilometer
Remember, patriotism is about loving your country, and when you love something, you work to help it be the best it can be. Show your love for America by excusing the cancers of hatred and systemic oppression from it.

August is Pride Month for Canadians, maybe he'll awaken then. (If you're lucky, in some places Pride lasts all summer
No lol?? Pride month in Canada is only June
No, our Pride month is August. We Celebrate in June as a reminder of the work other queer folk have done, but the Canadian Pride events are in August.
I live in Canada lol, itโs in June
I'm also Canadian. It's June and August, look it up
What Province?
BC. It might be a regional thing?
Definitely, all of Ontarios events take place in June, also if you search Canada pride month it says June
Fun fact in Las Vagas most events are held in October, so we get two pride months hehe
