Stepping in to say that November is absolutely the Glutton month. December is Greed. January is Sloth. February is Lust. July is Wrath. Unfortunately the Council is still trying to figure out when Envy Month should be, as we seem to be unable to reach a collective decision on this.
August should be Envy mouth because it's the hottest month and everyone's at the beach and I am envious of all the hot people who are confident enough to where swimsuits in public.
I'm thinking October for envy month. Envy does often lead to gluttony and greed, which tracks somehow in my head. Also that way if you are green with envy it's just a costume accessory.
October tracks for envy cus' there are enough people who are envious during Halloween, either cus' they couldn't participate, their costumes aren't as cool-looking as others or work won't give them the night off.

Keep sticking with that hope sauce. I've been homeless and had some pretty rotten things coincide with that struggle - I had to make safety contracts more than once due a not great situation and seriously compassionless people. *However* I'm telling you this so that you know I really *do* understand and I'm not just throwing platitudes at you. Firstly, you're already doing one of the most important things - and that's self care. If a TH-cam video of funny memes makes you feel good, gives you a laugh, or is just a little reminder that there are other people out there who not only are like you but understand and accept you - then that video is *not* time wasted. It could be one of the most important things you do all day. (And ignore any idiot who might say otherwise). I certainly could say more, but I don't want to seem like I'm monologuing at you (and this comment is already quite long). I'd be honored if you want to talk. In the meantime, stay safe and know that there *is* someone who cares.
I love how OT just reads out loud, without reading ahead, and is actively processing what he reads at the same time, and just steamrolls right into something extremely lewd and has a mental shutdown. That is extremely entertaining
I feel like aces and bisexuals vibe on the same wavelength but sexuality-wize they are completely different. Like both bisexuals and aces: always do the poses with their hands, always tuck their shirts, have way to many stickers, succulents, c a t s and way more
I mean, the funniest part is that aces were called bisexuals in the early history of LGBT+, because they were attracted to both sexes in the same amount (ignoring that it was 0) xd
I remember going through the whole bi erasure thing in my twenties. It was so bad that I let myself think "Yeah, I'm just a straight girl that wants a special label" for years. Eventually I found a better group of people to be around and came out again. I struggled with coming to terms with being non-binary, but I remembered my experiences from my twenties and went "Y'know what? Screw that!" and I was happy. It saddens me to think that we're in 2022 and some people still have that kind of attitude about bisexuals. But I'm hoping there's more support now than ever, and everyone can find a community that will build them up. Take a tip from a 40+ bi person: you are what you say you are. Don't spend years hurting yourself because you don't meet someone else's criteria.
This was literally me for 7 years. I was just like “screw it! I’m bi! It’s amazing, idc how uncomfortable you are with me existing.” I recently discovered I’m pan. But I would use pan and bi interchangeably
@@check2765 Once I learned of pansexuality I started to use that, and now I use both. Which one I use depends on who I'm talking to, because some define each one pretty rigidly. Language can evolve pretty quickly, so I don't mind editing my language as time goes on. I'm also fully in support of phases and changing sexuality, and as few/many labels as a person wants because honestly it's not hard to accept that some people just want that for themselves.
Thank you to the people in the comments who made me realise that: I end up calling myself gay/on the verge of being a lesbian just so people know that I really am queer and not just doing it for male attention. I always subconsciously think that I'm not a "good bisexual" whenever i'm attracted to guys.
I mean, you'd be a horrible lesbian, if you occasionally (or often, doesn't matter) were attracted to men, but you're doing bi perfectly right with that. ^^ I grew up being a bi woman (never confused about the bi part) and then figured out that I am in fact a man. Still just as bi, of course. Now people who tried to invalidate my sexuality, because I'm married to a man and "must be straight and just wanting to be sPeCiAl" are a bit... confused, since my straight relationship now is pretty gay. xD
"Lingerie under oversized hoodies" One of my favourite fictional characters literally has this as her entire wardrobe. Usually the removal of the latter has been compared to a trans-girl coming out of the closet, but I have also headcanoned her as bi, so it still works.

It took me 6 years to find out and this channel helped me realize I’m bi. And I was so hateful of the lgbtq 6 years ago fully knowing I had a crush on Chris evans.

Lol, once upon a time it was socially recommended to avoid certain topics in social circumstances...sex, politics, religion, within one's personal preferences/proclivities/positions. Dang, seems to me our society as a whole has decided collectively to come out of the proverbial closet. I think it began with organized sports, team preferences and just blew up across the spectrum of human behavior since.
I call myself a lesbian because my fear of guys generally outweighs what little sexual attraction (and almost complete lack of romantic attraction) I have for them. But watching bi memes always reminds me just how bi I am 😅
16:23-16:55 I have a friend (they/she) who is pansexual, and has mostly LGBTQ+ friends. They starting dating a guy, and all of their friend group made fun of her for it. When they dated girls or enbies, their friends were happy for them, but whenever they had a boyfriend, their whole friend group was mad about it. That was coming from *other bisexual people.* It’s hypocritical for us to say “love is love” and “gender doesn’t matter” and then get upset when a bisexual person dates someone of the opposite gender (or anyone regardless of sexuality or gender.)
Damn. I think, and hope, that generally, people will get better at understanding things over the years. Maybe people will be more open to learning new things as time goes on, people get more access to information they didn't know before, people become more self-aware, people live long enough to not care enough anymore, and/or we just all learn when to leave people be. Both people who are and are not a part of the community.
I recently made a pride themed art piece with some of the flags, and now i was remembered why i chose the bi, pan and ace flag all together. Since there's still so much erasure going on with these especially, i wanted to show the people in my school who would potentially see it that all of these identities are valid and that there are people who accept them. pansexuality and bisexuality often get confused and said to be the same thing, so by using both i wanted to clear that up. Thanks for reading, have a very gay day💖
!!!! I had the book that the "what a beauty" square is from (at 13:05) as my "we don't want to have the sex talk with you, so there's a book on your bed" from my parents at age 11. In retrospect- much better than getting the talk from my homophobic dad and clueless mum 😅
4:45 - “are these real?” No, unfortunately. Hard Drive is the gaming-focused equivalent of the Onion. All their articles are satire. Also, it’d totally be Luigi who would be a “little bit gay”.
Bierasia is so real ☹️ I told my husband once that I was a type of minority due to me being bisexual and a witch and he looked at me incredulously "you aren't a minority you're white"... Idk if he knows what discrimination I have to face, he has seen some of it from his own mom since I'm a witch. But he doesn't understand how hard it is. Example, my grandmother called my friend sexually confused, because he is a trans man dating a trans man with a kid. And I cut her off and told her then I'm sexually confused. And she responded "no you aren't, you're a girl and married to a man" and ouch.. why did that hurt. And so I said "being married to a man doesn't change the fact I still like girls". She is so anti LGBTQ it hurts. She doesn't realize I am not the only LGBTQ member of the family 👀. And yet she is so hateful. On a better note I crochet and she bought my bisexual dinosaur 😂 not knowing I sell other things too 😂 and tbh, IDC how much she denied her dinosaur being gay or "how do you know a dino likes a certain gender?!" (Psst pride flag colors duh, it's colored bisexual colors 😂) and now A piece of gay lives in her home. Passive aggressiveness go 😂
Me: chilling watching older OT vids *sees a new one uploaded* Me: instantly clicks it to help drown sadness of transphobic family Anywayssss, nice work!

2:20 Lust-February Gluttony- November Greed- December Envy- March (a bit of a stretch) Sloth and Wrath are the only ones that I'm drawing a complete blank on a direct connection. I was thinking June for June gloom but Pride's already called dibs so 🤷♀️
August - Sloth September could be Wrath but only if you're still in school. October could also be a good case for Wrath but only because it's spoopytime.

Can we make lust may? So pride and lust go with one another? And make greed July? If we're going to be stereotyped as prideful greedy prevs might as well check all the boxes 3 months in a row.
Yup. Legit. I realized I was not straight in my mid-20s. Also, I like flowers...alliums, hydrangeas, lilacs smell incredible (come to Spokane, WA in springtime, srsli, they're everywhere!), peonies...there are more but sadly, I forget flower names, which makes it frustrating when I'm searching for flower stuff.
That biphobia within the community thing really sucks. As a nonbinary person, I have seen transphobia within the trans community and if I see it, I can't not confront it.

Keep sticking with that hope sauce. I've been homeless and had some pretty rotten things coincide with that struggle - I had to make safety contracts more than once due a not great situation and seriously compassionless people. *However* I'm telling you this so that you know I really *do* understand and I'm not just throwing platitudes at you.
Firstly, you're already doing one of the most important things - and that's self care. If a TH-cam video of funny memes makes you feel good, gives you a laugh, or is just a little reminder that there are other people out there who not only are like you but understand and accept you - then that video is *not* time wasted. It could be one of the most important things you do all day. (And ignore any idiot who might say otherwise).
I certainly could say more, but I don't want to seem like I'm monologuing at you (and this comment is already quite long).
I'd be honored if you want to talk. In the meantime, stay safe and know that there *is* someone who cares.
Please accept some mama hugs, from a fellow queer person who's currently homeless. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
It sucks, but we'll get through this.
I love how OT just reads out loud, without reading ahead, and is actively processing what he reads at the same time, and just steamrolls right into something extremely lewd and has a mental shutdown.
That is extremely entertaining
11:25 OH MY GOD. Thank you, you just explained my bisexuality.
Me too!
Those new flags with the swapped purples both work so much better.
I feel like aces and bisexuals vibe on the same wavelength but sexuality-wize they are completely different. Like both bisexuals and aces: always do the poses with their hands, always tuck their shirts, have way to many stickers, succulents, c a t s and way more
I mean, the funniest part is that aces were called bisexuals in the early history of LGBT+, because they were attracted to both sexes in the same amount (ignoring that it was 0) xd
Aces and Bis are like false twins: they look a lot alike, but its not the same genetic, just brotherhood at is finest
Hey, hey! Don't call me out like this!
I just discovered tha maybe I'm doing ace wrong.
@@bluester7177 impossible, you cannot do ace wrong. Everybody has their own way of being ace.
I remember going through the whole bi erasure thing in my twenties. It was so bad that I let myself think "Yeah, I'm just a straight girl that wants a special label" for years. Eventually I found a better group of people to be around and came out again. I struggled with coming to terms with being non-binary, but I remembered my experiences from my twenties and went "Y'know what? Screw that!" and I was happy.
It saddens me to think that we're in 2022 and some people still have that kind of attitude about bisexuals. But I'm hoping there's more support now than ever, and everyone can find a community that will build them up. Take a tip from a 40+ bi person: you are what you say you are. Don't spend years hurting yourself because you don't meet someone else's criteria.
This is sweet but sad
Me too, Tully, Comp-Cis-het is a bitch
This was literally me for 7 years. I was just like “screw it! I’m bi! It’s amazing, idc how uncomfortable you are with me existing.” I recently discovered I’m pan. But I would use pan and bi interchangeably
@@check2765 Once I learned of pansexuality I started to use that, and now I use both. Which one I use depends on who I'm talking to, because some define each one pretty rigidly. Language can evolve pretty quickly, so I don't mind editing my language as time goes on. I'm also fully in support of phases and changing sexuality, and as few/many labels as a person wants because honestly it's not hard to accept that some people just want that for themselves.
@@tully6648 Very true. I alternate between pan and bi. Its very situational with how you want to present yourself.
as a pan trans woman who grew up loving stickers and now collects enamel pins I feel a little attacked by that meme.
So...did my disdain for stickers leading into an enthusiasm for conventional pins....presage my trans lesbianism?
Thank you to the people in the comments who made me realise that:
I end up calling myself gay/on the verge of being a lesbian just so people know that I really am queer and not just doing it for male attention. I always subconsciously think that I'm not a "good bisexual" whenever i'm attracted to guys.
I mean, you'd be a horrible lesbian, if you occasionally (or often, doesn't matter) were attracted to men, but you're doing bi perfectly right with that. ^^
I grew up being a bi woman (never confused about the bi part) and then figured out that I am in fact a man. Still just as bi, of course.
Now people who tried to invalidate my sexuality, because I'm married to a man and "must be straight and just wanting to be sPeCiAl" are a bit... confused, since my straight relationship now is pretty gay. xD
@@lethfuil thank you, this comment means a lot, wishing you well with your marriage
The four horsemen of the bisexual apocalypse. I feel so called out.
"Lingerie under oversized hoodies"
One of my favourite fictional characters literally has this as her entire wardrobe. Usually the removal of the latter has been compared to a trans-girl coming out of the closet, but I have also headcanoned her as bi, so it still works.
Since OT is almost always wearing hoodies … I now have a new head-cannon.
Oooooo who?
@@polasamierwahsh421 She's technically a spoiler, but she's from Xenoblade Chronicles 2. It shouldn't be too hard to tell which one it is, especially after the reveal.
@@angeldude101 considering I haven't heard of that game before I would like u to elaborate
@@polasamierwahsh421 Nintendo Switch JRPG with massive open areas and MMO-like combat. "Sequel" (in like a Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest sense) to Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii, which was recently remade for the Switch. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is coming out by the end of this month and is shaping up to be _awesome!_
New theory: my highschool sweetheart and I were a power couple of nearly 4 years because we had unspoken solidarity as being a closeted bi and a closeted ace. 10/10 would recommend ace and bi partners in crime
Okay so two things:
One, as an Asexual Biromantic person I love the fact that the ace and bi community are coming together and the flag purple swap would be awesome.
Two, OT KNOWS HEARTSTOPPER THIS IS THE BEST BAY OF MY LIFE.
Do you mean Day, not to be an ass, I just don’t like typos
@@lc5719no. They were talking about OT making a fishing bay
as a bi/pan/whatever person, I apreciate this video. it is unsarcasticly heartwarming.
Bisexual culture: having a preference for big wamen and smol femboys, but ending up surrounded by bears who dont even want to have adult fun time with you, anyway.
Or maybe its just me.
I'm bi and realises when I was 12 but didn't come out till I was 24 because of the bi prejudice. this video makes me happy I hope we can learn to love whoever. last lovers should not affect future ones. love you OT thanks for covering this hope to see more LGBTQ in future 💛🖤
It took me 6 years to find out and this channel helped me realize I’m bi.
And I was so hateful of the lgbtq 6 years ago fully knowing I had a crush on Chris evans.
It took me 10 years to figure out I was nonbinary and I have people I never plan to tell. I've known I was gay for about 11 years and I still haven't told my dad and never plan to because he doesn't deserve to know that about me. Whatever is right for you is what's important.
I'm bi and realized it, in the comments of one of these videos, in October 2020, just before my 49th birthday. 🤷
We're all valid.
Mama hugs all around!
💗💜💙 ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
@@IsThatAShortJoke aww live your best enby lifestyle friends xx I love this channel because it helps lots of people feel supported who might not in their life xx
@@missnaomi613 hugs. You are never too old to discover your truth 🏳️🌈. Honestly I think OT is so helpful because he talks about things without judgement.
I'm bi & ace and those memes TARGETED ME SO HARD, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE.
I’m right there with you lol
Lust got February. Gluttony got November and has December with greed.
5:46 YES the colours.
It's nice to know that some parts of the internet being BI is accepted with open arms because it helps me cope with still being in the closet in the real world
💗💜💙 me too
Same ❤️❤️💜💙💙
14:47 “I’ve never seen an ugly bisexual”
So _that’s_ what they meant by bisexual invisibility!
Ayy one topic! I recently came out as trans and love your videos, especially trans memes. Also my family and friends were supportive!
Edit: ty to all people in replies who are nice!
that's great!!! i'm really happy for you❤
@@SkwithOv ty
I’m glad they were supportive 💕
I also recently came out as trans
So great you have supportive family members!
*Heavy steals spy’s disguise kit*”yes, it is I, the scout…”
I don’t get why people are hating on bi people. Like wasn’t part of being gay “this is who we are, love is love,” just let them love who they love. Some people can be so extra. Good luck out there y’all, I wish you a happy time out there in this crazy backwards world
6:31 - 6:50
As a pansexual, I also concur as this is also a way to ask people if they are LGBT.
same here.
as an omnisexual I also concur
As an asexual, pls do this more often ;)
I'm a bi oriented aroace, so while I'm not exactly bisexual or biromantic, I do still identify with the label of bi and these videos make me feel so much better about myself. Thank you.
I’ve been binging your aromantic and asexual videos and it helped me come to terms with being aromantic. So thank you, OT!
Welcome to the club!!! I’m aroace💚🖤💜
@@queen_of_aces1563 That’s so cool! Aroace arrow ace! I love the colour of your flag :3

I am pansexual I am used to being considered a disappointment so that's why I decided to team up with Chick-fil-A

@@JoshuOfficial yes
Sorry, is the joke here that Chick-fil-A is disappointing because it's homophobic? I'm not American, so that is literally all I know about it. And that it's some sort of fast food chain or something.
@@ninawth yes Chick-fil-A is a homophobic fast food chain

I make hand movements and use big hoodies and i am nerd. I am certified bi.
Lust, Greed, Wrath all have a month. Lust is February because Valentines, Greed is December because Christmas, and Wrath is October because Halloween. You could also say Glutton shares October with Wrath if you want
12:40 "are any of us okay?"
No OT. No we are not.
I’ve always thought the “I watch it for the plot” and “The plot” posts were hilarious. As an ace, if I’m watching something, it IS for the plot.
Lol, once upon a time it was socially recommended to avoid certain topics in social circumstances...sex, politics, religion, within one's personal preferences/proclivities/positions. Dang, seems to me our society as a whole has decided collectively to come out of the proverbial closet. I think it began with organized sports, team preferences and just blew up across the spectrum of human behavior since.
I call myself a lesbian because my fear of guys generally outweighs what little sexual attraction (and almost complete lack of romantic attraction) I have for them. But watching bi memes always reminds me just how bi I am 😅
The shirt tucking meme played when I was struggling to tuck in my shirt
I would just like to say, I love the intro and just being able to scream "MEMES" Love the vids OT
9:19 As a HUGE TF2 fan i'd like to tell you that your impression of the Scout was actually the Heavy's voice and NOT the Scout.
i was looking for this comment 😭😭😭
16:23-16:55
I have a friend (they/she) who is pansexual, and has mostly LGBTQ+ friends. They starting dating a guy, and all of their friend group made fun of her for it. When they dated girls or enbies, their friends were happy for them, but whenever they had a boyfriend, their whole friend group was mad about it. That was coming from *other bisexual people.*
It’s hypocritical for us to say “love is love” and “gender doesn’t matter” and then get upset when a bisexual person dates someone of the opposite gender (or anyone regardless of sexuality or gender.)
Damn. I think, and hope, that generally, people will get better at understanding things over the years. Maybe people will be more open to learning new things as time goes on, people get more access to information they didn't know before, people become more self-aware, people live long enough to not care enough anymore, and/or we just all learn when to leave people be. Both people who are and are not a part of the community.
A bi guy and a bi girl dating each other is the strongest wlw mlm solidarity there is, and I will stand by this belief.
"It''s times like this when I thank God for making me Bisexual" - Billzo playing a dating simulator
I recently made a pride themed art piece with some of the flags, and now i was remembered why i chose the bi, pan and ace flag all together. Since there's still so much erasure going on with these especially, i wanted to show the people in my school who would potentially see it that all of these identities are valid and that there are people who accept them. pansexuality and bisexuality often get confused and said to be the same thing, so by using both i wanted to clear that up. Thanks for reading, have a very gay day💖
!!!! I had the book that the "what a beauty" square is from (at 13:05) as my "we don't want to have the sex talk with you, so there's a book on your bed" from my parents at age 11. In retrospect- much better than getting the talk from my homophobic dad and clueless mum 😅
4:45 - “are these real?” No, unfortunately. Hard Drive is the gaming-focused equivalent of the Onion. All their articles are satire.
Also, it’d totally be Luigi who would be a “little bit gay”.
Bierasia is so real ☹️ I told my husband once that I was a type of minority due to me being bisexual and a witch and he looked at me incredulously "you aren't a minority you're white"... Idk if he knows what discrimination I have to face, he has seen some of it from his own mom since I'm a witch. But he doesn't understand how hard it is. Example, my grandmother called my friend sexually confused, because he is a trans man dating a trans man with a kid. And I cut her off and told her then I'm sexually confused. And she responded "no you aren't, you're a girl and married to a man" and ouch.. why did that hurt. And so I said "being married to a man doesn't change the fact I still like girls". She is so anti LGBTQ it hurts. She doesn't realize I am not the only LGBTQ member of the family 👀. And yet she is so hateful. On a better note I crochet and she bought my bisexual dinosaur 😂 not knowing I sell other things too 😂 and tbh, IDC how much she denied her dinosaur being gay or "how do you know a dino likes a certain gender?!" (Psst pride flag colors duh, it's colored bisexual colors 😂) and now A piece of gay lives in her home. Passive aggressiveness go 😂
""you aren't a minority you're white"" Your husband is a racist.
9:24 had to stop myself from cursing at the video. Great work OT.

I got the bi/ace purple swap on my dash and I absolutely loved it. The de-saturated bi flag purple fits well, or at least better, with the grey of the ace flag. As someone with a dual-citizenship I vote to keep this change.
4:15 Should we tell him?
Don't you dare
9:05
my first thought:
Luz Noceda
Okay but like girl did pretty well for herself, shes just a bit of a silly goob
Bi, the way. The name of the exact color of purple in the bi-flag is “Smokey purple”
The similarities between Bi and Ace culture is so uncanny, it's like, Ace has Garlic bread and Denmark added to it, but that's about it
OT, here’s your friendly reminder that you are a lovely person and your channel is a lovely place where people can learn and also just enjoy a good time. :)

Lust-February
Gluttony- November
Greed- December
Envy- March (a bit of a stretch)
Sloth and Wrath are the only ones that I'm drawing a complete blank on a direct connection. I was thinking June for June gloom but Pride's already called dibs so 🤷♀️
August has no holidays, it can be sloth.
Plus, August is usually so hot you don't want to do anything, at least where I live
September for wrath because everyone tries to advertise all the fall holidays at once because capitalism.
August - Sloth
September could be Wrath but only if you're still in school. October could also be a good case for Wrath but only because it's spoopytime.
I like this one. Alright, so we have:
February - Lust
March - Envy
June - Pride
August - Sloth
September - Wrath
November - Gluttony
December - Greed
Any improvements or arguments?
OMG I thought I was the only one who noticed the mismatched purple! Looks sooooomuch better with those purples swapped! Perfection.

I love your content so much, it's always so uplifting to just relax and listen- especially after tougher days
