The Backrooms (A Sociological Take)
The Backrooms (A Sociological Take) OR The Sociology of The Backrooms! #thebackrooms #glitchinthematrix #uncannyvalley #sociology
In this video, we discuss the origins of The Backrooms, where they came from, and why this concept is so terrifying. We then dive deeper into some sociological theories such as hyperreality, glitch in the matrix, and the uncanny valley. Enjoy! :)

In My Vlogging Era - Easygoing Escapades
If gender is a social construct, then how can people have gender dysphoria? That would mean that gender exists in the brain. Seems like it is contradiction.
That's a great question! Social constructs exist - humans co-create knowledge to help understand the world and such views are imposed on us/we grow up to understand the world with these. As such, we use these views to view ourselves and others. I don't think there's a straightforward answer to this one. But, the concept of gender as a social construct doesn't contradict the experience of gender dysphoria. It can help us understand how deeply both social and personal identities are (e.g., how others perceive us and how we perceive ourselves). Gender dysphoria is the distress someone feels when their internal sense of gender (which can be understood as part of their identity and how they experience themselves) doesn't align with the gender roles or expectations imposed by society i/e., they don't fit typical man/woman gender roles. The fact that people experience gender dysphoria is a reflection of the tension between societal norms and personal identity, not a contradiction. I would also say that gender exists in the mind too - as it's both about internal and external experience of gender - how one feels and identifies.
@@asheycakes911 Perhaps gender is an archetype and not a social construct at all.
Hey some added context on the Imane drama... She was disqualified by a Russian led panel of judges who refused to provide the test results that led to the disqualification, this resulted in a Russian boxer's (that she had just beaten) 'unbeaten record' being restored. Since then the IBA has had recognition revoked due to among other things, corruption. From wikipedia, it lists the sources if anyone is curious
Thank you! Yes, I found out about that specific "political" corruption after I filmed this video. Very interesting indeed. I'm waiting for more updates regarding the lawsuit too but I think it will be a while before we hear anything.
Former student of yours: You did a great job as a tutor. I did not think your soft-spoke-ness held you back from eloquently conveying complex ideas. Unfortunate that you get some hate for this topic from people who do not understand nuance I hope they at least watch the video before leaving those comments.
Thank you so much, Hanay! It's lovely to hear from you, and I'm glad you enjoyed my classes and the video - always a great chat after classes with you. I hope you are doing well in NZ land! 🥰
Hello sir, Your videos are great! I can optimize your content for better search visibility. Let's discuss how to rank higher on TH-cam. I’m waiting for your reply.
I get called a kiwi quite a bit over here. Also a Pom. And that’s weird pineapple rings I only know them as pineapple fritters. I am a Queenslander. So it’s Ice blocks. I love Melbournes humidity but then again I’m a Queenslander so it’s refreshing. Also Fish and Chips you are gonna cop that over Australia. But people write me off about my accent. You know, Shrimp on the Barbie and stuff like that. Oh and my kids are half kiwi! I’ve never married an Australian in my life! There’s some random stuff about me!
Thank you for sharing your experiences and facts about you - love to hear them! Different cultures are very interesting and how people in certain places perceive people. I just found it interesting, and I can definitely relate to the accent (as seen in the video). Aww cute! Hope you guys are enjoying your travels right now :)
Great tour!
Thank you so much! :)
Loved the vlog 😍
Thank you 😊
That’s great that you have degrees in sociology… but sex is the domain of biology and it very much is binary by definition as there are two reproductive roles in anisogamy.
Not sure where you got this idea of more than two sexes… that’s not supported by any literature. You misunderstand intersex, let alone the fact that intersex is not a sex. You misunderstand the nature of the surgeries, you think that it is sex reassignment, and your claim about intersex rates is completely wrong. I really think you should do some reading in intersex conditions as you believe they are neither sex or some other sex. Also not sure why you keep saying western society when this is agreed upon by biologists across the planet. Not sure you know what a spectrum is… two is not a spectrum. A spectrum would be infinite sexes
@@DerpMcDerp-gb3ss yes exactly, she's pretty thick.
AGREED! ❤❤❤❤
It is binary. Stop ruining the world, perverts.
I think you mean the people who mutilate intersex babies. How do you explain intersex people with a binary system?
Great video
Thank you! :)
Yes it is. Social constructionism is code for "anything I say is true is automatically true". Your thesis sounds like a complete waste of time and resources. Would you get excited at the prospect of fighting in a war? Yeah, didn't think so. The time for this kind of fad is ending, no one will be saying these arguments in a couple years, you'll be embarrassed you ever wrote a whole thesis on it. Mark my words.
Did you even watch the video? Or did you just see the title, get triggered and leave a comment because it didn't fit your world view?
@@king_baallzz Obviously I watched the video, even though it's 100% predictable what she's about to say (and very hard to get through as it sounds like she's on the verge of crying the whole time, very revealing), and that's precisely what my comment is clearly responding to. "World view" is a phrase that applies to you and her, as it's a specific ideological perspective on reality, rather than just assessing reality itself.
@xarastewartmusic there's no need to be nasty. Just asking a question
@@king_baallzz You're the one who's not trying to be nasty? Lol sure
@xarastewartmusic I don't know I think making a judgement about her based on tone of voice seems pretty nasty to me. If you can point out my nastiness, I'll happily take it back. If not, I suggest you think about judging the arguments put forward rather than the person. Have a good day
We have the same last name except mine doesnt have an E. Great video !

Wow. Such deep dive discussion on your video. Cool.
Thank you so much! :)
this is awesome work Ash!
Thank you so much! xx
Interesting! I did not know this was a thing. Thanks for the deep dive.
Thanks so much for watching! :)
I have been wanting someone with actual credentials to talk about the topic of rage bait, so keen to keep watching xD
@user-ny6kj6nm8v oh my gosh, thank you so much! I always feel bad talking about my education because I don't wanna sound pretentious. Maybe one day I'll go back and do a PhD but I really enjoy discussing topics like this. I hope you enjoyed the video 🥰
@@asheycakes911 Makes sense why you would be worried about that ! And Im sure theres people out there who will disagree with me but sharing the knowledge you have on a public platform is one of the least pretentious thing you could do. Especially because in general university and higher education can be very exclusive and classist, to me its more commendable than only talking abt it with the people who have also completed the same studies as you. Im super interested in sociology & psychology but holding off on formal education until my adhd is medicated, to give me a better shot at succeeding. so youtube is where I can engage with these topics that make my brain tick without the insane price tag. I enjoyed the video and what you had to say 😁 And then I subbed once you started talking about gender, it is so refreshing to see a straight person talk about the deconstruction of the gender binary. I am an agender lesbian and that instantly made me feel comfortable to support your channel even if I'm not really a vlog watcher 🖤 Keep up the great work !!
@@alxxblu3 I absolutely agree, often universities (or the people at them) can often be quite elitist and classist but thankfully there are also a lot of people there who are also all about open education (i.e., free access to education/information), which is really important. I definitely want to keep sharing my knowledge with the world, so if this is a space I can do so, then I'm excited! I hope one day you can study psychology and sociology but I want to say I'm proud of you for putting your mental health first (something I should have done a long time ago). I did both of those in undergrad but was a lot better at sociology (psych had sooo much maths that I just couldn't deal with) hence why I continued with sociology into postgrad. And yep, I have heaps of student loans, it should be cheaper or scholarships more widely available OR free education for all. Thank you so much, I'm so glad I've created a safe space for you to share that with me (I will do more sociology topics soon I promise but I do enjoy the vlogs too). If you're interested in reading, my blog www.asheycakes.com has a lot more heavy academic stuff (and some fun stuff too). But it just goes to show how the gender binary is super problematic because of what people actually are. Naww thank you!
this seems more of an emotion regulation problem and anti social behavior, mixed in with heavy doses of despair. socializing with a variety of people daily, atleast, gives you some form of comparison.
❤❤❤❤❤
❤ thanks for watching! :)
Honestly it’s sad the internet is so argumentative these days you need to say “I believe there’s more than two sexes” like there isn’t scientifically more than two sexes by every definition, if we only count primary sex characteristics there’s more than two due to several forms of intersex such as internal testes, for chromosomes there’s a lot more than two and for hormones I don’t need to explain how they can differ. Weird that people react so violently to people who don’t fit the norm like Serena Williams who gets SEVERAL times more drugs tests since she looks vaguely masculine :/
Absolutely agree and it sucks that other sex/genders like "intersex" aren't shown more in the media. This is exactly why I dislike the binary systems and how people are lumped into "two" categories of male/female and women/men, it really sucks because there's a lot more out there - it's a spectrum more than a binary. Sports is an interesting topic because it's something that will most likely never not have a binary system and perpetuates issues such as someone getting tested more for being "vaguely more masculine-looking". It's frustrating for sure. Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
Great video! I have watched some of this but am very interested in watching the rest later on. I definitely rage when I see content like that! ANY publicity for them is good publicity in their eyes
Thank you so much! Me too (I can't get over the bathroom cooking like it's so icky) - absolutely agree. Looking forward to the rest of your thoughts when you come back later on :)
@@asheycakes911you did an excellent job on this video! I have to agree with many points you made. I don't understand the tradwife trend. I personally enjoy making food from scratch occasionally but it is not in my daily routine and it's not so I can play into the gender role of it. It's almost like I wonder if they're doing it only for the views, I genuinely wonder if their lives are actually like this. The paper from scratch was cool but yes very unnecessary. It also didn't look practical? Like the kids were scribbling 😂😂 would have been a little more interesting if random items were brought together to show the children they could create something really cool with items laying around or items outside to glue together into a pattern.
@@KBTV444 Thank you so much! Me neither, I feel like my brain is WAYY too overactive to be someone who is submissive. I do also like making things from scratch like baking and making home cooked meals etc. but definitely wouldn't want to do it every single day and honestly, who has time? Rich people hahah. And I definitely don't think things like that should be gendered either. I agree, they're definitely doing it for the views because more engagement is good for them - i.e., more ways for monetisation, brand deals etc. That's a really good point you make about the paper, I didn't think of it at the time but it would be good to help with their development to do more making things themselves - or even if their mum taught them how to do it. I'm not a parent myself so I don't like to judge how someone parents their children, but I think it's okay to analyse and understand the why behind it (I hope this makes sense - it kinda just ended up being a brain dump in response to your comment).
