I feel like I'm like Arin in a lot of ways and I totally agree with how he explains it. Masculinity/femininity doesn't define your gender identity and it's pointless acting like it does.
Exactly, but the funny thing is the poster child for those kind of statements seems to be tumblr (usually it's taken negatively though because tumblr is usually excessive and forceful when it comes to sharing opinions) so having tumblr contradict itself yet again brings a bit of laughter to the situation.
The thing is, Tumblr isn't a collective entity so of course different users will contradict each other :p But I agree, a lot of them do go overboard on the gender roles stuff
Yeah, exactly. That's why gender fluidity doesn't make any sense. Maybe I do wanna wear a hoodie and play video games, today. It doesn't mean I'm not a girl.
I never understood in the slightest why/how 'I identify as [insert extreme and unrealistic concept here]' jokes were funny or entertaining in the slightest. I've never seen anyone laugh at them or compliment them.
I'm honestly worried about this TH-cam demonitorization hoopla. Especially with channels like Game Grumps, Arin's all about his Poopy Ass Dicks, and Dan can NEVER talk about his awesome past again. Arin tweeted saying he's not worried about it, but this 'advertiser friendly' system is just waiting to be exploited.
Arin is right. It is super messed up to label someone's gender identity based on them liking "girly" things. Actions and interests aren't gendered, and it would be pointless to assign them to a certain gender. Unless, or course, you were super insecure of your own and needed a harsh guideline in order to put your gender identity and that of the people around you into a manageable box to have control of your life, but who on Earth would EVER need that?
Not really. I mean, sure, but not just Tumblr. People identify as all sorts of different genders because society seems to not be able to let go of the idea of gender roles at all, for anything. Clothes, activities, behaviors, pretty much everything ends up as either "feminine" or "masculine", and you're very often forced into one of the two when you'd actually prefer both, or none. It's pretty sad to try to make up specific labels for every different type of person but that's just how some people learn to deal with their own identities when it strays too far from what others expect. So its something like this: Until the day everybody is able to accept that gender roles are harmful, and in fact extinguish them, those people will create new labels that actually make sense for them. I don't fully agree either but it'd be nice if you could see that they're just struggling with a bad set of rules.
this is why im not ok with "bs genders" Tumblr has made up.. they say its to break the gender bigotry but, ironically it is based of of the very thing they are trying to break... why just be yourself, whatever the fuck you like there are no need for these things to exists... its just bullshit they are creating labels about things they dont want to be labled as! its doesnt make sense!
FrenchFryFucker They simply want something that will make them the most special snowflake there is. Gender roles hold no power, and the sooner people realize this, the sooner they can grow the fuck up.
how would that make another 125 episodes? when they can simply play on the superior system known as the Wii U and they can play levels on that just like they could on 3DS, so whats the point of doing another series on 3DS?
Not to refute Dan's point about beauty, but physical attraction is one of the biggest factors when choosing a mate for life. It's not the only factor, but it's just as important as mental stability.
+ocarinaplaya I agree. "Beuty" is always subjective but when it comes to physical attractiveness, i want a beutiful (to me) wife, along with other qualities of course. Call me shallow, but i dont wanna invest my love into someone i dont like looking at
I think the issue is, what is attractive? Dan said that true attraction is that light inside you, and I agree. He doesn't mean date only woofers, but you could have the hottest chick and she might make you miserable.
+Shorewall That is exactly Dan's point. My two cents was about finding a girl who has that inner light but isn't bad looking either. This applies to guys too.
as a fellow trans person I can relate a lot. sometimes tumblr people are too stuck up on their social justice warrior road and make a big fuss about actually small things.
***** They can mutter conspiracy theories and "but *I* don't agree with it" to themselves all they like. So fed up with other people telling me their opinions on me for one thing that doesn't define my personality at all, though I do have to say it's turned me into a huge cynic that doesn't take any bullshit. I feel more English than ever.
Arin's parent's raised an AWESOME young man. Same goes for Danny. I know they have their slip ups but they really are some of the most open minded and coolest people I've witnessed in my life!
It's fine that Arin is gender nonconforming. The whole goal of all of our civil and human rights movements are to get our society to a point where it doesn't matter. If we could all leave each other alone to figure it out it be cool.
I love this episode of Deep Grumps. I really what Dan said about beauty because I've always been self-aware of how I may look to other people since I weigh about 100 pounds more than the average girl my height. There is more to beauty than just looks and what society tells us, and Dan is totally right. I need to just forget about my inhibitions and be confident in who I am as a person and what I believe in. Thanks, Dan :)
Honestly hearing Dan and Arin talk abt what it really means to be beautiful and how people spend their whole lives obsessing over looks made me realize how pathetic it was that I had someone but was pushing them away because of being scared of commitment and wanting to be with hot girls when there was something internally beautiful right in front of me. Thanks Game Grumps for making me realize how sad that was at the perfect time in my life for such advice.
I'm a straight male and I completely understand connecting with females more than males. In games where I have an option to play as a female character I always do. Maybe I just like heroine. I mean heroines.
I have to say that as a trans girl, watching game grumps while I was still closeted (even to myself) helped me a lot with feeling okay with being a "boy" just because of how much I empathized with Arin, and loved Danny, so I am very thankful that you two are doing this and being you. It is kinda creepy how... people make theories about other people's gender and sexuality like. Back Off.
i like how dan and arin talked about beauty this episode. I believe that beauty is whats beautiful to you so long as no one influences you to believe otherwise. Whether that be skin deep or much more. Since everyone has their own general criteria for what is and isnt beautiful its harder to pin down what specific traits could be considered beautiful. So i just choose to acknowledge things i see as beautiful as just that and how funny arin and dan are is beautiful thing to me
I think you're technically right. But charisma can be misconstrued to be a few things and it could also mean someone is charming without having a "light".
I love you guys I really mean it. Rewatching this playthrough has been an emotional experience I can't believe how much you guys have said that i took to heart and didn't even remember which series it was from haha
Okay the whole conversation about beauty got me really fucked up. Like, I understand in full what they mean. I see beauty in the way people are the most comfortable carrying themselves. Beauty to me is seeing someone who looks human and who looks lived in and isn't scared to look "ugly" or send me ugly pictures of themselves. I'm the exact same way. Honestly, I never like taking intentionally good pictures because the process of taking them is uncomfortable. I will only take selfies if I think that look fine without any special preparation or filters (or if I'm lookin ugly f to make people laugh). Like, all my friends prepare for selfies and it's one of the most ridiculous things to me. All that being said, the reason I'm fucked up over what they said, is because these guys are like, adults. They've had experience and have been able to see themselves change, but I'm literally 16.
I probably sound like a whiny little turd, but this episode actually made me cry. Danny & Arin said such amazing things and I just felt all of it. I have serious problems with stuff like what they were talking about, so I really love hearing people talking about it and saying such wise things. I know I'm not the only one, so on behalf of all of us. Thank you so much for everything you do, Grumps.
I like playing as female characters because it helps me to deal with the massive amounts of violence I dish out. Like, I may be a mass murderer, but I didn't mean it! XD
Yeah, that's always been my thing too. I like to make the "ME" character, if I'm only given one choice. My friend likes to make characters, so he usually choses females and makes up a character, rather than it being himself. I'll go for that if a game lets me make a ton of characters (like Soul Caliber's character creator).
This was such a happy episode of GG. I loved hearing Danny talk about how Arin helped him grow and what public image means to Arin. Also that perfect score was just triumphant. So many happy feelings :)
Wow. Now whenever I have to defend my definition of "what makes beauty", I can just say "The GGs agree." It's how you carry yourself, your posture and your expressing.
DIVAD291 Even if my brain simultaneously goes "Oh, pretty" and "thanks but I'll pass"? Because there's "I like to look at" and "I want to get with" and they're not remotely linked by definition.
I'm gonna say this as a transgender person myself: I don't understand why people would think Arin is a transwoman. I mean, I'm a transman, and I'm about as feminine as Arin is, just because I'm naturally a more feminine guy. I mean, I can sort of understand the whole idea of playing as a female maybe being a sign of being trans, but that's probably because I figured out I was trans because I realized I only felt comfortable playing as a guy. It annoys me when people use being trans as a way to enforce gender roles, like, no, excuse me, I am the manliest man even if I like dresses and pastels. Arin is manly as fuck because he is a man, and therefore everything he does is manly. I am manly even when I wear dresses, because I am a man, and therefore I am doing a manly thing. You go, Arin, smash those gender roles! Destroy them!
beauty is in the eye of the viewer as we say in french, meaning each person have their personal think of what beauty is... don't know if it's a saying in english...
I am watching this right after I got my first actual “girlfriend”. I think the conversation in this episode may change the way I’m going to approach the girl I might want to spend my life with. Thank you for taking some time away from the goofs and gaffs to teach me a thing or two about life :)
I love that arin started talking about dominion tank police, that was one of the first animes my dad showed me when I was young. I always wished I had my own little Bonaparte
Oh hell yeah, my wife and I bought it straightaway back when we bought this game. I'm still listening to a large majority of the soundtrack. Just a ton of great stuff, and awesome remixes of older Katamari music.
This is the most warming Game Grumps episode I've ever heard. And they say I don't learn anything from watching games. Loot at me now, Mom and Dad! I learned to love myself!
"I like a lot of feminine things, I like girly stuff." "Just because I like girly things it means I'm a girl?" "Why are things inherently girly?" Why do you keep calling them girly, Arin?
Cuz it's a handful to say "objects with perceived feminine traits/intended for female audiences" every time you wanna talk about it. Most people here know what "girly" refers to right now, but that doesn't mean the word's gonna mean the same thing or still be relevant in the future. Who knows.
Quite possibly one of my favourite episodes of game grumps, this is why I love these guys. They can be fucking hilarious and inappropriate at times and then suddenly give out advice and information that so many people need, these sorts of mind sets would save our fucked up society. Keep up the fucking awesome job guys. You're advice is probably helping thousands of people with their lives and you're certainly helping one ;w;b
Arin: "I've always identified more with womanhood and femininity than men" also Arin, 5 minutes later: "lmao I don't get why people think I'm a closeted trans girl"
Those are just your natural instincts trying to keep your inferior DNA from infiltrating the gene pool, so listen to your instincts and don't reproduce.
Dude, I'm unattractive and more than a little awkward, and my fiancée thinks that's adorable. She's got shit taste in men, but hey- everyone's got a type and there's no accounting for taste.
Bofa D. Snutts Yeah (congrats on your fiancee!) it's just hard to talk to people, like I cfind that really difficult cause of anxiety and omg so fladoodling awakward
I usually play as a guy in games, because it's supposed to be immersion, so obviously I'd play as a guy because I am a cis guy. I usually only play as a girl after I've played a game so many times that all sense of immersion has faded away. Old Pokemon games are a good example. Fun fact: I cringed a bit at myself by using "cis" unironically!
that is a way of playing, but not the only way. Foe me at least, playing video games bring me to another state of mind and reality, where I can choose a character of my own imagination/art/creativity. For example, for mmorpgs, i start with a male character with different traits, and possibly a female if i want to try another account.
I guess that's also an interesting argument for being able to select gender in games. Whenever I have the chance, I will play as a woman for the same reason of immersion. However when a game forces me to be a guy (with no gender choice), I just go with it.
I don't know this episode really made me smile, it made me feel better about my self I just love Arin and Danny because they can be funny and serious and heartwarming at the same time
I love thoughtful episodes like this. Dan and Arin just get so deep into the conversation and it helps me out in life, like, it's almost reassuring. Keep it up, guys. :)
these days i'm feeling a little depressed because i feel ugly and whatever, it's a phase that comes and goes and, thanks to you, it went away in no time, thanks for making my day easier to go through
This is honestly, really good dating advice. Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. I just went through a breakup and this actually made me reflect on it a lot, in a good way.
For some reason, I thought it was weird that Arin and Suzy got married at their age but now I think it's really sweet and that you guys must really love each other a lot.
I love how they got deep and existential about love in THE EXACT SAME LEVEL they had the "D-Club" discussion some time ago... (Also, I never tought Arin would ever address the multiple-chin running gag) This was indeed a memorable episode
I think Katamari is where Game Grumps gives pretty much the wisest advice possible.
Yeah, I really enjoyed the things they said today. It was just what I needed.
yup
Except for the times they gives out blatantly wrong information.
i learned the most about life from when they played kirbys epic yarn
+Aquaczaz or extremely wrong aka kirbys extra yarn
I love how theyre talking about arin being feminine on a remake of the exact same level that the D club conversation happened 2 years ago XD
The D-Club conversation happened during a completely different game.
I believe it was called "Ninjabread Man"
that's where the first d-club conversation happened, but there was a second one in the first katamari game
Wasn't that Ninja Bread Man?
I knew this was the deliberate level, I just knew it
Katamary Damacy - Serious Penile Conversation
I feel like I'm like Arin in a lot of ways and I totally agree with how he explains it. Masculinity/femininity doesn't define your gender identity and it's pointless acting like it does.
Exactly, but the funny thing is the poster child for those kind of statements seems to be tumblr (usually it's taken negatively though because tumblr is usually excessive and forceful when it comes to sharing opinions) so having tumblr contradict itself yet again brings a bit of laughter to the situation.

I never understood in the slightest why/how 'I identify as [insert extreme and unrealistic concept here]' jokes were funny or entertaining in the slightest. I've never seen anyone laugh at them or compliment them.
I dunno. I thought they were funny maybe the first 2 or 3 times I heard them. But they're really played out now. And not that creative.
The more I hear Dan confess his love to Arin, the more I believe he truly, deeply means it.
Yea. I'm pretty sure Suzy's always liked Barry anyways.
+The_SSJ2_ Hokage what about polyamory?
Of course he means it. But that doesn't mean it's romantic
Shut up. They're straight and we all know it.
Him being gay is a joke on the show, but I think you know that.Cory the Compton Crip
Yeah Dan, you aren't the only one who forgot Metroid. *stares angrily at Nintendo*
I'm honestly worried about this TH-cam demonitorization hoopla. Especially with channels like Game Grumps, Arin's all about his Poopy Ass Dicks, and Dan can NEVER talk about his awesome past again. Arin tweeted saying he's not worried about it, but this 'advertiser friendly' system is just waiting to be exploited.
I agree....
What about the before the Grumps podcast?
Gettit together Game Grumps
11 seconds in and an F-bomb is dropped. No money for these guys, terrible non-advertizer-friendly content am I right? Jesus Christ...
Didn't think about that. Jesus, this new rule is fucking terrifying.
MAN, mad props to Arin in this episode! I genuinely wasn't expecting thoughtful gender commentary but here we are and my heart is singing
Arin is right. It is super messed up to label someone's gender identity based on them liking "girly" things. Actions and interests aren't gendered, and it would be pointless to assign them to a certain gender. Unless, or course, you were super insecure of your own and needed a harsh guideline in order to put your gender identity and that of the people around you into a manageable box to have control of your life, but who on Earth would EVER need that?
Basically the entirety of Tumblr
lol, basically
Not really. I mean, sure, but not just Tumblr. People identify as all sorts of different genders because society seems to not be able to let go of the idea of gender roles at all, for anything.

this is why im not ok with "bs genders" Tumblr has made up.. they say its to break the gender bigotry but, ironically it is based of of the very thing they are trying to break... why just be yourself, whatever the fuck you like
there are no need for these things to exists... its just bullshit
they are creating labels about things they dont want to be labled as! its doesnt make sense!
FrenchFryFucker They simply want something that will make them the most special snowflake there is. Gender roles hold no power, and the sooner people realize this, the sooner they can grow the fuck up.
Danny: Just be yourself.
TH-cam: We don't allow that on here anymore.
I love how sweet and warm of a person Dan is, he seems so accepting of everyone. Never stop being you Dan!
just realised
all the game grumps episodes are gonna be about rolling today
But not at the speed of sound :(
+CJ Skittlez
Sorry, but I've got places to go.
they're gonna keep rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling WHAT?!
+TeckGeck Dude you gotta follow my rainbow
CookiesAndMil_
I'm afraid can't stick around, have to keep moving on.
I want more Katamari games to exist almost solely for the fact that I could hear more philosophical grump conversations.
I love this stuff!
Nintendo just announced Mario Maker for 3DS. Looks like we have another 125+ episodes to go!!
Noooooooo!!
how would that make another 125 episodes? when they can simply play on the superior system known as the Wii U and they can play levels on that just like they could on 3DS, so whats the point of doing another series on 3DS?
+Andrew Charlie maybe some fans have it for 3ds and don't have a Wii U
Not necessarily.
You can't share levels online
+Jman if you make a level on 3ds it will be playable on wiiu
Not to refute Dan's point about beauty, but physical attraction is one of the biggest factors when choosing a mate for life. It's not the only factor, but it's just as important as mental stability.
Also having an attractive mate is seen as a status symbol in most cultures. Male or female.
+ocarinaplaya I agree. "Beuty" is always subjective but when it comes to physical attractiveness, i want a beutiful (to me) wife, along with other qualities of course. Call me shallow, but i dont wanna invest my love into someone i dont like looking at
I think the issue is, what is attractive? Dan said that true attraction is that light inside you, and I agree. He doesn't mean date only woofers, but you could have the hottest chick and she might make you miserable.
+Shorewall
That is exactly Dan's point. My two cents was about finding a girl who has that inner light but isn't bad looking either. This applies to guys too.
Tumblr needs to learn the difference between gender identity, gender expression, and general likes/dislikes.
- A trans*man who's over this shit.
as a fellow trans person I can relate a lot. sometimes tumblr people are too stuck up on their social justice warrior road and make a big fuss about actually small things.
I feel the exact same way, it feels like a mockery at this point. I'm a transman too.
Don't expect that to happen any time soon. I gave up on Tumblr long ago.
A bunch of trans people gathered around a comment, i'm timing to see how many minutes it takes before the hatesquad arrives on the premises.
***** They can mutter conspiracy theories and "but *I* don't agree with it" to themselves all they like. So fed up with other people telling me their opinions on me for one thing that doesn't define my personality at all, though I do have to say it's turned me into a huge cynic that doesn't take any bullshit. I feel more English than ever.
I come back to this video every now and then because it’s so encouraging and inspiring and I am thankful that they shared this conversation with us.
I do that too dude, this video is the first video i put on my watch later
Am I the only one that likes emotional grumps more than funny grumps
You mean Deep Grumps?
+Rachies x3 no he meant emotional you clod don't assume his words!
Emotional and deep are different.... You are assuming that pigman used the correct wording... So that makes you a clod as well.
+evan mann assuming that emotional and deep are different also makes you a clod...clod
I wish you were. This shit is torturous to listen to.
I like how Dan was excited by the word "entropy" in the last two episodes, and then the king used it at the end of the episode
There's the reminder on why I love this channel. It's because of the eye-opening episodes like this
I dig that is basically a Grump Podcast. I fucking love you guys.
Arin's parent's raised an AWESOME young man. Same goes for Danny. I know they have their slip ups but they really are some of the most open minded and coolest people I've witnessed in my life!
This has got to be one of the best episodes. Wonderful commentary and awesome results. You two are such amazing shakes. I wish I could hug you!
It's fine that Arin is gender nonconforming. The whole goal of all of our civil and human rights movements are to get our society to a point where it doesn't matter. If we could all leave each other alone to figure it out it be cool.
I thought it was to horribly insult and degrade people who didn't agree with you.
so what Dan is trying to say is beauty is in the eye of the beholder
"Hey welcome back, I'm playing as a robo tits and here we are!!"
The single greatest thing to hear first thing in the morning.
in todays episode of game grumps Danny and Arin shall be discussing the philosophy of Arin's Chins and the impact it has had on the community.
I don't always tell dad jokes,
But when I do, he laughs.
I love when these sorta topics are brought up in Game Grumps episodes, they're really comforting and make you love yourself more :D
One of the best GG Katamari eps. And there's a lot of good ones.
I love this episode of Deep Grumps. I really what Dan said about beauty because I've always been self-aware of how I may look to other people since I weigh about 100 pounds more than the average girl my height. There is more to beauty than just looks and what society tells us, and Dan is totally right. I need to just forget about my inhibitions and be confident in who I am as a person and what I believe in. Thanks, Dan :)
Love how Arin has never ONCE used the jump function in this game XD.
IK I forgot about that
You can jump in this game? O_o
Yeah, it teaches you in the tutorial. It's the R2 button IIRC.
if you look back at the first few episodes, he's stated a bunch of times that that function doesn't work for him.
Ah, I must have missed that. Weird that it doesn't work for him.
Honestly hearing Dan and Arin talk abt what it really means to be beautiful and how people spend their whole lives obsessing over looks made me realize how pathetic it was that I had someone but was pushing them away because of being scared of commitment and wanting to be with hot girls when there was something internally beautiful right in front of me. Thanks Game Grumps for making me realize how sad that was at the perfect time in my life for such advice.
"I forgot about Metroid."
Don't worry Dan, so did Nintendo.
I love how real these guys get. I feel like we really get to know them.
I'm a straight male and I completely understand connecting with females more than males. In games where I have an option to play as a female character I always do. Maybe I just like heroine. I mean heroines.
I love it when they katamari the conversations just seem to flow with this deep thought and its not just comedy.
I have to say that as a trans girl, watching game grumps while I was still closeted (even to myself) helped me a lot with feeling okay with being a "boy" just because of how much I empathized with Arin, and loved Danny, so I am very thankful that you two are doing this and being you.

So i just choose to acknowledge things i see as beautiful as just that and how funny arin and dan are is beautiful thing to me
Your talking about Charisma Dan, you can just say you find charisma beautiful.
I think you're technically right. But charisma can be misconstrued to be a few things and it could also mean someone is charming without having a "light".
I really love how deep the Katamari sessions get. I feel like I've learned something.
I didn't realize GG had so many fans that were trans women. Everyone is saying they related to arin then ended up being trans
I love you guys I really mean it. Rewatching this playthrough has been an emotional experience I can't believe how much you guys have said that i took to heart and didn't even remember which series it was from haha
This was the same stage with the d club!
Nice
Arin talked about the D-Club in that gingerbread ninja game though, didn't he? o:
yeah that was ninja breadman
+emoji ghost yeah he did but in an older ep of katamari he talked about the d club.
***** oh cool i didn't know that, i was just tellin' not tyler what the game was called ^ ,^
its episodes like these that remind me why i love game grumps so much.
Does Arin Hanson is girl?
The Rumour Come Out
Does Arin Hanson is girl is most discussed in the media in the few years ago, even in a person of his grumps.
Danny has such beautiful sentiments! I love the katamari series's because they do this all the time during them
Okay the whole conversation about beauty got me really fucked up. Like, I understand in full what they mean. I see beauty in the way people are the most comfortable carrying themselves. Beauty to me is seeing someone who looks human and who looks lived in and isn't scared to look "ugly" or send me ugly pictures of themselves. I'm the exact same way. Honestly, I never like taking intentionally good pictures because the process of taking them is uncomfortable. I will only take selfies if I think that look fine without any special preparation or filters (or if I'm lookin ugly f to make people laugh). Like, all my friends prepare for selfies and it's one of the most ridiculous things to me. All that being said, the reason I'm fucked up over what they said, is because these guys are like, adults. They've had experience and have been able to see themselves change, but I'm literally 16.
Preparing for a selfie is one of the most ridiculous things to you? Your profile picture seems to disagree with that.
Now *this* is a classic Katamari Grumps episode~
Thanks for this, you beautiful Grumps, this is a godsend when you're bedridden in the hospital.
Long Grumps :)
Long, Deep Grumps.
It is beautiful, but sounds so fuckin' dirty.
And that is not, by the way, a bad thing.
just the way i like it ;-;
nah man, i'm shorting grumps at least until Q4
Hugh Mungus
I love how deep these series are. It makes me feel just at peace 😊
6:50
Get that Purple Stuff! Get that Purple Stuff!! Get that Fucking Purple Stuff!!!
FUCK sunny d
Yeah both plays of this level he's avoided it completely! So frustrating!
12:52 he got it.
+jekblom123 Yeah I know. But he was such a tease about it until then. Lol
jekblom123 Nope, that's a different one. I'm talking about the one in the alleyway right at the start.
I probably sound like a whiny little turd, but this episode actually made me cry. Danny & Arin said such amazing things and I just felt all of it. I have serious problems with stuff like what they were talking about, so I really love hearing people talking about it and saying such wise things. I know I'm not the only one, so on behalf of all of us. Thank you so much for everything you do, Grumps.
I like playing as male characters because they are easier for me to identify with and role play.
I like playing as female characters because it helps me to deal with the massive amounts of violence I dish out. Like, I may be a mass murderer, but I didn't mean it! XD
I'll go with whichever one is nicer to look at. In most cases it tends to be women, but there are exceptions.
Yeah, that's always been my thing too. I like to make the "ME" character, if I'm only given one choice. My friend likes to make characters, so he usually choses females and makes up a character, rather than it being himself. I'll go for that if a game lets me make a ton of characters (like Soul Caliber's character creator).
hey um, I can't help but notice your name is Eric now
This is probably one of my favorite episodes. I love you guys so damn much.
This episode totally confirms that Arin is the straight version of me (or I'm the gay version of Arin either way)
This was such a happy episode of GG. I loved hearing Danny talk about how Arin helped him grow and what public image means to Arin. Also that perfect score was just triumphant. So many happy feelings :)
Wow. Now whenever I have to defend my definition of "what makes beauty", I can just say "The GGs agree."
It's how you carry yourself, your posture and your expressing.
if you want an accurate definition of beauty just say "its whatever my brain unconsciously considers to be optimal for reproduction"
I must carry myself like a gremlin...
DIVAD291
Even if my brain simultaneously goes "Oh, pretty" and "thanks but I'll pass"?
Because there's "I like to look at" and "I want to get with" and they're not remotely linked by definition.
My favorite opening episode was Legend of Zelda Wind Waker Episode 19. Thank you for that episode guys
Remember kids: Beauty is only skin deep but ugly goes down to the fucking bone.
I love levels like this, where you start SO TINY and get ENORMOUS
This episode made me feel good about myself :)
I'm gonna say this as a transgender person myself: I don't understand why people would think Arin is a transwoman. I mean, I'm a transman, and I'm about as feminine as Arin is, just because I'm naturally a more feminine guy. I mean, I can sort of understand the whole idea of playing as a female maybe being a sign of being trans, but that's probably because I figured out I was trans because I realized I only felt comfortable playing as a guy. It annoys me when people use being trans as a way to enforce gender roles, like, no, excuse me, I am the manliest man even if I like dresses and pastels. Arin is manly as fuck because he is a man, and therefore everything he does is manly. I am manly even when I wear dresses, because I am a man, and therefore I am doing a manly thing. You go, Arin, smash those gender roles! Destroy them!
"What was their evidence?" Come on Dan, Tumblr doesn't need evidence, logic, or a reasonable train of thought.
beauty is in the eye of the viewer as we say in french, meaning each person have their personal think of what beauty is... don't know if it's a saying in english...
It is! In English, the phrase is, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder," which means the same exact thing. Hopefully that helped! ❤️
Welcome to Hydraulic Press Channel...
Today We Will Press _Batteries_
Wrong youtuber
_But that's the point_
+Ian Helm that's genuinely the unfunniest thing I've ever read
Ahem, I believe it's the hoo-draulic press channel.
Excactly.
I was going to comment something funny, but it was only relevant on the 5 PM EST vid.
I am watching this right after I got my first actual “girlfriend”. I think the conversation in this episode may change the way I’m going to approach the girl I might want to spend my life with. Thank you for taking some time away from the goofs and gaffs to teach me a thing or two about life :)
Arin's weak chin has boosted my confidence as I have one too.
Arin supports his weak chin with a series of more chins.
+noisyturtle It's like a fractal, but chins. Also love the Buu Boo profile pic.
His chinfrastructure
I love that arin started talking about dominion tank police, that was one of the first animes my dad showed me when I was young. I always wished I had my own little Bonaparte
Have you guys listened to the games soundtrack!? It's fuckin' AWESOME! I'm actually going to buy it!
Siivagunner's done some high-quality rips from the Katamari series that are well worth checking out. I especially recommend Katamari On The Rocks.
Oh hell yeah, my wife and I bought it straightaway back when we bought this game. I'm still listening to a large majority of the soundtrack. Just a ton of great stuff, and awesome remixes of older Katamari music.
This is the most warming Game Grumps episode I've ever heard.
And they say I don't learn anything from watching games.
Loot at me now, Mom and Dad! I learned to love myself!
"I like a lot of feminine things, I like girly stuff." "Just because I like girly things it means I'm a girl?" "Why are things inherently girly?"
Why do you keep calling them girly, Arin?
Cuz it's a handful to say "objects with perceived feminine traits/intended for female audiences" every time you wanna talk about it.
Most people here know what "girly" refers to right now, but that doesn't mean the word's gonna mean the same thing or still be relevant in the future. Who knows.
tkmry158 Why does Arin call it girly and then question why people call it girly though?
He knows the answer to it! His own reason behind doing it.
He's one of those people that are part of his own problem
Bluemanzee ^^
Quite possibly one of my favourite episodes of game grumps, this is why I love these guys. They can be fucking hilarious and inappropriate at times and then suddenly give out advice and information that so many people need, these sorts of mind sets would save our fucked up society. Keep up the fucking awesome job guys. You're advice is probably helping thousands of people with their lives and you're certainly helping one ;w;b
Settle down there, Arin Sarkeesian.
Ironic how her last name instantly triggers me now.
Nice bait.
I fail to see how Arin talking about how he has a feminine personality makes him even come close to the deranged ramblings of third wave feminists.

i like the GG episodes that sometimes get deep and make you realize that these people have lives and their not just internet celeberties.
"But my brother can't do me"
Well duh, it's called 'Incest'
finally Nate made it in the show as Guest Grump! feels like we were waiting forever for this to happen!
7:46 I could totally picture Suzy saying "The scruff is mine! I want it! I want the scruff" in the "I want the money" voice
Arin: "I've always identified more with womanhood and femininity than men"
also Arin, 5 minutes later: "lmao I don't get why people think I'm a closeted trans girl"
I like it when the Grumps get real on the show. It can be a nice shift from the usual silliness (Not that I don't love the silliness!).
What happens if you're unattractive *and* super awkward?
Those are just your natural instincts trying to keep your inferior DNA from infiltrating the gene pool, so listen to your instincts and don't reproduce.
caleb root haha hey awkward friend
caleb root True true, personally I think it's adorable. But nearly impossible to talk to people sometimes
Dude, I'm unattractive and more than a little awkward, and my fiancée thinks that's adorable. She's got shit taste in men, but hey- everyone's got a type and there's no accounting for taste.
Bofa D. Snutts Yeah (congrats on your fiancee!) it's just hard to talk to people, like I cfind that really difficult cause of anxiety and omg so fladoodling awakward
Pleasant episode! I like it when they get chill like this. I suppose it makes sense that Katamari facilitates this sort of mood.
I usually play as a guy in games, because it's supposed to be immersion, so obviously I'd play as a guy because I am a cis guy. I usually only play as a girl after I've played a game so many times that all sense of immersion has faded away. Old Pokemon games are a good example.
Fun fact: I cringed a bit at myself by using "cis" unironically!
that is a way of playing, but not the only way.
Foe me at least, playing video games bring me to another state of mind and reality, where I can choose a character of my own imagination/art/creativity.
For example, for mmorpgs, i start with a male character with different traits, and possibly a female if i want to try another account.
I guess that's also an interesting argument for being able to select gender in games. Whenever I have the chance, I will play as a woman for the same reason of immersion. However when a game forces me to be a guy (with no gender choice), I just go with it.
I don't know this episode really made me smile, it made me feel better about my self I just love Arin and Danny because they can be funny and serious and heartwarming at the same time
Wait a sec! This map is from an old Katamari level, where they talked about the D-Club and the Korean Spa!
7:50 Exactly why the grump avatar should be updated.
13:48 Exactly.
18:00 Oh wow I was not expecting 100 there.
I love thoughtful episodes like this. Dan and Arin just get so deep into the conversation and it helps me out in life, like, it's almost reassuring. Keep it up, guys. :)
I hope this play through never ends this game is so satisfying
these days i'm feeling a little depressed because i feel ugly and whatever, it's a phase that comes and goes and, thanks to you, it went away in no time, thanks for making my day easier to go through
I saw this title and all I thought was, "Rolling around at the speed of town!" Sonic is a part of my life now...
I just love how Danny prounces younger like "Yunner". Adorable
Your discussion on looks and looking like a normal human being really hit home for me. So much respect
This is honestly, really good dating advice. Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. I just went through a breakup and this actually made me reflect on it a lot, in a good way.
I love how at 18:24 the robo king is like "Doesn't anyone care about entropy?" AND THEY MISSED IT.
I went awwwww when Danny said "the light that shines from within"
Katamari seems to always become the deepest of grumps, I fucking love it
For some reason, I thought it was weird that Arin and Suzy got married at their age but now I think it's really sweet and that you guys must really love each other a lot.
17:41 THAT SOUND THAT ARIN MAKES OML I'M LAUGHING WAY TOO HARD RN
Game grumps always pumping out the most sage advice and outlooks on life
Love you guys! Keep doing everything you do!
I just love listing to these guys talk
like I almost forget I don't actually know them.
I love how they got deep and existential about love in THE EXACT SAME LEVEL they had the "D-Club" discussion some time ago... (Also, I never tought Arin would ever address the multiple-chin running gag) This was indeed a memorable episode
