On todays episode our hero reflects on their deepest memories that, for some reason, all have to do with gender bending episodes in cartoons. Looking at a variety of different shows from the late 1990s, to the early 2010s, our hero wants to get to the bottom of what makes a good gender bending episode, and why they remember these episodes so vividly. Using their invention that was made specifically to gauge the quality of an episode, they sat down and tirelessly (sometimes painstakingly) watched, reviewed, and analyzed the contents of 6 different episodes. But as always, our hero didn't do this act just for themselves, they hope to leave the viewer with a deeper understanding of just why these episodes were so formative in the minds of many.

  • i feel like a broken record at this point, but i really do appreciate everyone that's taken time to watch this video. i once again set my sights a little too low i guess, i was hoping for 1,000 views in a week and it's safe to say we're a little passed that. currently scripting a new video that'll release later in august so be on the lookout for that, and i'm pretty active on twitter if you want to stop by. final note just know that no, the algorithm was not targeting you that was me, i specifically sent this video to your home page in order to get you to click. thanks again :3
  • @MapleMilk
    "Yeah, you would" BRO I JUST GOT HERE
  • @zappyz_
    getting this in my recommendations felt like a personal attack
  • @gennabella
    "i don't control what's on tv i only watch it" rookie mindset tbh, start being the change you wanna see in the world
  • @BigBoss-qm1bq
    I love how you also went through the almost universal trans woman experience of picking the female protagonist in Pokémon as a child
  • @Jake-nh5th
    one cool part about fiona and cake is that everything that fiona says at the end of the episode is stuff that finn learns later in the series
  • @Suzaka
    "do not watch I Saw the TV Glow" is the funniest inside joke omg
  • @apollyon6855
    Damn, I almost feel dumb for not realizing earlier that gender bending episodes in cartoons would've help people be aware of their dysphoria at a young age, thanks for the enlightenment
  • @cosmic_fruit3712
    I wish more people would touch on how genderbending episodes impacted one as a kid growing up! This is so much fun and just brings back old memories! I personally loved Fionna and Cake, I even had the comicbook of them, it became tatered over time from how much I used to read it when i was little!
  • @goIdy
    goldy please close your dms my wife won't stop messaging you and i miss her
  • I was obsessed with Gender Bending as a kid. Along with body swaps, they were my favorite episodes to watch and draw for. I even made genderbent Miis of myself and my entire family, and tried online spells just to “see how it feels” So…I’m Agender-
  • @firelion3487
    Shezow seems like a wildly out of pocket concept for its time. A gender fluid main character in any media for the time is nuts, let alone for kids.
  • @PikaveeT
    i would like financial compensation for the unprovoked attack from the title
  • @NattiNekoMaid
    That fucking title and intro is a personal attack mister youtube ban this woman for harassment
  • damn, goldy really just went "hey remember the incredibly obvious signs you are trans back then?". I did not expect to be called out in the first 30 seconds of the video, chapeau good lady, chapeau
  • @tylertds
    ...Trans man named Brick here after the Rowdyruff Boy (Tyler is the more normal name I go by lol), I adored the Rowdyruff Boys as a kid, more so than the Powerpuff Girls, and every time they showed up in the show I was completely obsessed. I'm honestly glad you included the episode because it was absolutely one of the factors that helped realize my transness lol.
  • @SIGuess
    I'm not trans but I think these episodes introduced me to the concept of people being born in the wrong body most people used to think these episodes were transphobic and making fun of real world struggles but honestly they helped me be more considerate and thoughtful
  • @deli_9697
    Naming the video this and sending it out to YouTube feels like you threw a grenade blind and hit your target perfectly (we are all trans)
  • as a trans guy who went to an all girls school i can confirm the knd episode is exactly what it was like
  • Being a cisgender man who vaguely remembers that these kinds of episodes exist in shows that first aired during my childhood (even though I don't watching very much of these shows if at all) is proof that the whole moral panic over gender nonconformity, especially in family-friendly media, is bullshit.
