This channel is basically a convoluted plot to trick my friends into listening to me talking about a niche interest of mine for 25 minutes.
How queer friendly are Pokémon Tournaments?
Did you know that Pokémon VGC events are extremely queer-friendly? It might not appear so if you are watching at home, but queer competitors guarantee - these are safe, welcoming and unapologetically queer spaces. I spoke to only a few competitors who will be battling for the title of World Champion this weekend at #PokemonWorlds 2024, but I'm sure that getting to know them will make you enjoy this celebration of everything Pokémon has to offer even more!

Why do queer people love Pokémon?
Переглядів 36 тис.2 місяці тому
In one of my last videos, I asked: "Why do queer people love Pokémon?" and a LOT of you replied with your own takes. To commemorate pride month, I chose a few comments that picked my attention to discuss in our collective investigation to find out if Pokémon is, after all, a queer series, and to understand why so many members of the LGBTQ community feel such a strong connection to this series. ...

Ongoing Corrections: Akuma uses they/them pronouns, and it was my mistake not to double-check when interviewing them. I also got the Nagasaki bombing date wrong, and that is a bit embarrassing. When talking about the move being learned at level 89, that is a possible reference to August 9, 1945, and not September 8. PokéRogue is a new and popular roguelike Pokémon fangame.

It's just the most pleasant surprise when a popular youtuber makes a comment supporting trans people, especially when their channel is nothing to do with it :D
Sleep clause was only ever something in fan formats.
Nice vídeo! você é brasileira? (are you brazilian?)
sim rs
3 months to get from 500 subs to 12k is crazy work good job
Terraria reference spoted. How do I subscribe twice on this channel?
Just asking are you Brazilian?
Pokémon just popular and welcoming for all people!, its like hearth of mother has space for everyone
1:36 ish Iirc a lot of the most popular formats in pokemon showdown have sleep clauses, thats probably where the misconception comes from
Wow, genuinely iconic. 🏳️⚧️🍄
Shiny Sylveon :)
such an insporetion
Quaxly is the gayest pokemon ever made and it is a starter so definitely the franchise is lgbt friendly now
On you person reading this if you know any cut pokemon please let me tell me because I'm making a video about pokemon and I need some cute pokemon thank you for reading
My headphones ran out of battery just before I was about to click on your shiny hung stream

When I was little I thought that the people who said: "being trans is a mental illness" meant: "they where born the wrong gender, so we (the government with our taxes money) have to support them, giving them access all medical infrastructure, psychological, hormonal, cirurgians, or to anything public institutions can do, so they can be happy " Oh sweet summer child
This video was very endeaeing and I look forward to more ❤
Without the context of this story, Amoonguss is such a counterintuitive pokemon to use, since 1) It's a poison-type; 2) One of its core moves is Rage Powder; and 3) It's universally considered to be annoying to play against. It seems like the kind of thing that an anti-trans person would happily agree to have as a trans representative, but it would be because it serves to reinforce negative stereotypes about trans people.
Amoongus approves this message.
ending of this video is something i always think about. i mean, ALL my queer friends like or play pokemon to some capacity. i really like the idea of confirmation bias, but regardless, it’s an interesting phenomenon and it brings me comfort to know someone else thinks the same
I made an entire other video on this channel about this question! You should check it out :)
BRAZIL MENTIONED
Hi, new subscriber here. I was just blown away by the quality of this video, and the Hoenn section had me hooked from start to finish. You're right, a lot of this information is unknown in the West, and I cannot imagine why (actually, I can). The whole premise of "X is not political" feels like a fever dream to me, so it's always nice to see it dismantled.
Rumors are rumors 🤷🏾♀️ i didn't even knew this event was happening
I am an autistic trans guy, and Pokémon is my main special interest, it's my DREAM to one day go to a future Worlds as a spectator (I don't play VGC but I know there's always tons of stuff to do at Worlds for spectators as well). Hearing how queer-friendly Pokémon events are makes me so happy, thank you for making this video.
the za stood for zero announcements ;-;
thank you cecilily, you inspire me to hopefully make my own videos one day
Go do them! My biggest regret is not having started earlier!
Chile world champion YAHOO!!!! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*.✧
Spiky eared Pichu chilling in Gen 4, safe from transfer (sadly). Would love more representation! Love that mon

Genuinely cannot believe we didn't get z-a news
I'm actually kind of happy they didn't give us anything. If they wanna go the Zelda franchise's route of taking their sweet time to give us something amazing then so be it uwu

I fully expected to get bombarded with queerphobic experiences, but it is so beautiful that an esport place that is so dear to so many queer people is actually so welcoming of us. Literally teared up watching this. ❤
Assuming we get a flexible Pokemon Unity SDK, my FIRST order of business will be making a VR prototype.
Also Diego Ferreira, he thanked his boyfriend after his 2nd live-streamed win I think day 2 ❤
Yes and I went CRAZY for it! There was a livestream here on the channel! <3

This title...this way of thinking... No just no. Pokemon is everyone yes but like thats all there needs to be. No need to add more stuff to it like this.
great video! just subscribed. lots of love from brazil
As a trans women playing vgc ranked since I saw wolfe video about his 2022-2023 season, watching the worlds + your video really motivate me to go to IRL tournaments and try to qualify for the worlds. Thanks for your video ❤
Personally... I don't really see a connection between queerness and VGC, I mean you just come as you are and you play the game. I think the game is the main focus, and discrimination in general against people's differences should be frowned upon. So.... being queer-friendly or uniqueness in our differences shouldn't be an issue when the game is the main focus.
It's not a direct connection per se. What this video does is to praise Pokémon VGC for being a safe and welcoming place for queer players - something that is unfortunately not the rule in most e-sports spaces.
@@cecilily That is unfortunate if that's the case with other e-sports and just an L for the organization. Glad you were able to enjoy yourself at the Pokemon events
I always loved blazers, never wore one but I always thought they were really cool
Regarding the regis point, there is also the fact that all the regis (Before SwSh, that is), including Regigigas are weak to fighting, which is said to symbolizes the fear of war. However, from what I can find, Regice's cave is not Nagasaki, that is Slateport City. What is next to Slateport City? That's right, the chamber where you unlock the regis in the first place.
Coming from the TCG side of Pokemon, my ultimate goal in life is to be one of the first openly nonbinary people to place Top 10 at Worlds. Pokemon has always been a part of my life, and has been a source of comfort while I was accepting who I am. Seeing the amount of queer competitors in the VGC sphere gives me hope for the TCG. Now all I have to do is get my name changed legally, get used to playing against others in person, and convince my closest LGS to become an official Play Pokemon location. Wish me luck with that! 😅
I've never been a potted can but still any time I look at the films as I'm scrolling Amazon prime and I get this icky feeling hearing the name Harry not even Harry porterhouse the name Harry makes me feel sick and I think that says great lengths that it can have on the trans community. (I am trans btw)
Anyway what are you doing reading this the video hasn't even finished yet pay attention to this masterpiece of UA-cam content
