I thought the same thing she explains perfectly how people sometimes rationalize completely unacceptable behavior and are not even aware of it000dia000 wrote:I've been watching Dodie for a while but did not know about this, apparently she stated something about a bad relationship before so it's casual news but I don't think anybody knew it was to this extreme It was brave of her to make a video like this, people sometimes don't realize they were in a bad situation until a long time after leaving it and refuse to look at the signs, I'm glad she made it because there's bound to be many viewers who benefit from it
He said he's had girlfriends and boyfriends in the past trying to figure himself out. I wish more people talked about uncertainty and being somewhat confused when it comes to their sexuality and navigating labels etc. Especially people in their 20s. I don't know, I just found it interesting. It's like the next 'wave' of coming out videos are getting more lowkey and casual (like Noodlerella's and Alexis G Zall and to a lesser extent Blackery I suppose), pretty cool.I don't want to date anyone, I don't want love, I don't want sex, I don't want to kiss anyone, I don't want to be with anyone. I just don't have that drive. It's so hard to understand because it's so not the norm.
Adding on: This could very well change in a couple years. I may fall in love with someone and this could all change. This is just how I feel in this moment of my life and this is the best way I can express it. Yes, I may talk or act a certain way, but that doesn't accumulate to my sexuality. I am just me.
I just kindly ask for you guys to stop leaving comments like, 'wow he acts like this, he must be blank.' Regardless of whether it's about me or anybody else in the world. It's so disrespectful and rude to assume certain things of people and it's rude to try and out someone, it's not your place to out them.
Nothing turns me on. I wondered about it for years and I never knew what it meant, I thought I was just messed up. The closest term I have found is asexual, but I don't even want to label myself as that. I don't like labels on me.
If I was any specific sexuality, I would have come out a long time ago.
Wow that's very interesting. It sounds like a well worded video. I never really cared for him much, didn't dislike him or anything, just he never interested me. I'm sure that was a difficult vid to make. Still not too interested in him, but I now have much more respect for him. Coming out as asexual seems like it would be harder than anything else. It is something that is never really talked about much and so few people can wrap their tiny little brains around the idea of it. So much of everyday life and culture revolves around sex. I hope his friends and family are supportive and don't treat him as though he is broken or something. I have only met one openly asexual person irl and she said that was the worst part. That and everyone saying "she'll meet the right guy (never girl) and it will all change". She was in her 30's and had absolutely no sex drive, she knew what she was, it was just a lot of the people in her life couldn't handle it. She was completely fine with it. Happy with it tbh. She said from what she could see sex screwed everything up anyway, so her life was perfect and drama free. I hope Ricky, if he is indeed asexual embraces it, and doesn't let society or people in his life push him to do things he isn't comfortable with.fancybum wrote:Interesting, Ricky Dillon kind of just came out as uncertainly asexual:

Interesting vid. I'm glad that someone is finally making an Asexual coming out video. That being said this video makes me sad in a number of ways.fancybum wrote:Interesting, Ricky Dillon kind of just came out as uncertainly asexual:

He made a follow-up Q&A video that actually addressed that! He took it down because it got flagged/age-restricted (since it had 'masturbate' in the title?) but he apologised for saying that and said some things along the lines of 'there's nothing wrong with the things that make up who you are' etc. That line of thinking comes from the same one that made him believe he needed to have a girlfriend and all of that to 'be normal', he even clarified that he meant to touch on 'social constructs' in the original video. It was actually a good video, I wish he had kept it up even if it was age-restricted. To answer the biggest question most people seem to have had: he said he doesn't masturbate and never has. Honestly that blows my mind, but it's interesting to hear about.spaceguitar wrote: Interesting vid. I'm glad that someone is finally making an Asexual coming out video.

1. First of all, a number of times in the video Ricky says that there must be something wrong with him (b/c of his asexuality). He doesn't seem to have a problem with thinking like that, but for me, an aro-ace person that's hurtful to hear. The #1 thing that aro/ace people often need to be told when entering the community is that they aren't broken- there's nothing wrong with them. It seems like Ricky doesn't embrace this mentality.
Ok that's good to know. Yeah I never really thought he had ill intent, just that he was undereducated on the topic.fancybum wrote:He made a follow-up Q&A video that actually addressed that!

Does anybody watch any videos from Amanda? I thought she was a new YouTuber at first because she's young, only like 18/19 but she's been making videos since 2006
I kind of thirst followed her at first but I absolutely love her energy with her videos, for some reason she's the only youtuber who's clickbait I trust because whatever's in the video title actually happens, I'm not joking.
wow thanks! I had never even heard of her (which is kinda crazy since she has more than 4million subs)! I subscribed, she is great.mio wrote:Anybody here watch Liza Koshy?
I thought she was another one of these teenage musically girls but I saw that she won a streamy award and checked her yt channel. She's actually quite funny and talented
Nobody knows. Ben posted this on Instagram:pearshaped34 wrote:Not sure if this is the appropriate place for this question but does anyone know what happened to series two of Becoming Youtube?
I don't really follow Ben Cook at all but I've just watched Dan and Louise's prank call video from May 2014 where he calls Ben and asks him to edit him out of series two and the prank video and realised here we are in October 2016 and yet the series itself has never materialized. Was it scrapped for some reason?

Ohh I recognize Ryland, he works for ClevverTV. Shane has been in some videos with them before. In a recent video that featured both Shane and Ryland they did Couples Yoga with Lily and Joslyn (two other Clevver hosts) but I never would've thought that Shane and Ryland were dating :O Shane teamed up with Lily in the video so they didn't interact that much of course but I'm gonna rewatch and look for clues now lol.fancybum wrote:Shane made it official that he's got a boyfriend.

As Catallena said, he's with ClevverTV, so I always assumed they met through Lily. They (Shane/Lily) just started making videos together in Feb (on their own channels and ClevverTV channels) and Ryland popped up on his instagram like 6 months ago? ish? Probably a safe guess, but I haven't heard any specifics so don't quote meblueapple_x wrote: I'm out of the loop. Do we know how they met?
They went to London/Paris together like two months ago! They've gone to Vegas together to see Britney Spears TWICE in the past few months. Most of that needs to be gleaned from stalking their instagrams/snapchats though. Oh man, I used to love his actual vlogs (where he acted relatively normal and calm, not the OTT video persona), so I was kind of bummed he didn't really vlog/anything (not even snaps) the Londonetc. trip. That would've been interesting since he's said he hates travelling, so to see how he dealt with it would have been fun. Also that kind of a trip seems like a Big Deal for him, so the fact that he went with Ryland was basically confirmation enough to me that they were a thing. Like, he wouldn't just up and go to Paris with Drew or somebody lol.Catallena wrote: Ohh I recognize Ryland, he works for ClevverTV. Shane has been in some videos with them before.

I would have never thought they would be a couple, but they look so cute together. Especially with the height difference. I call BS on the "i'm not gonna exploit our relationship for views" part, he's been a youtuber for his whole adult life, exploiting his personal life is what he does. I hope he doesn't, though, I want them to last.sweetmm wrote:It has been quite obvious from Ryland's instagram (thanks manged for the heads up) that they were an item. I guess Shane wanted to be certain before he makes it public, does not want a hangrid situation.
]I think they do have lots of fun together
