I think what is so great is how respectable Wolfey's approach to his audience can be. He's explicitly stated before that he avoids cursing on stream and the like to make it more child-friendly, especially considering the original targeted age demographic of pokemon as a game, yet he never downplays his audience as children but rather expects a high degree of maturity and intelligence from his community. People find appealing to both kids and adults as hard because they think that you have to either baby kids or talk and joke about illicit or edgy topics with adults whereas there really isn't a huge line between the two. Big props to Wolfey as always for his ability to simply provide universally acceptable entertainment and allow everyone to just have a good time.
I totally agree. And the youtuber/streamer's personality gets reflected in the chat. Asshole streamers or trolls will have a lot of troll chat and haters, whereas genuinely nice streamers usually have nice wholesome chats.
I think the thing you are pointing out actually makes more sense for the older generations. If we think about it, the people growing up in the early 90s to 2004 watched/played shows animes whatever which would be considered "not good" for children today. But they were actually really the opposite. They were healthy for them. These times children werent thought of as stupid and retarded, no they knew kids were smart and could understand harder concepts (obviously dumbing it down a bit). Today they treat the kids like idiots, which is seen all over the media. One prominent example would be the new star wars movies (8,9 especially) and also the animes created today, where short term laughs are traded for long term charakter development.
I love how Wolfey is running calcs to see if a level 65 Sceptile can one-shot a level 50 Quagsire with a special grass move like it doesn't do a minimum 200% to Quag
The absolute min roll (with -spatk /+spdef natures, 0 spatk IV/ 31 spdef IV and a minroll of 85%) places itself (with the given levels of 65 and 50) at 285,367% of a quagsire's health with perfect hp IVs. So saying atleast 300% is probably fair.
wolfe's speech on how marginalised communities face a lot of nasty stuff from online communities really warmed my heart. a bunch of content creators tend to have a rather "i support you :) but also i dont wanna get opinionated in case i lose subscriber" way of doing things, and to be honest its incredibly refreshing to see someone being so understanding and sensitive to serious issues. i look up to wideo man as a funny, creative, and inspiring guy, and when he goes beyond that and uses his platform to talk about serious stuff like this, it makes me feel proud to be a part of this community. keep up the great content mr world champ, and im super grateful that he, and his community, are so accepting and supportive!
not based in reality at all, just making assumptions that if you're not white or a man you will ALWAYS face discrimination and if you're a white male you are the one contributing to that discrimination its an incredibly cynical and damaging world view.
@@TGOOO6 well it is no assumption, it is true that if you are not a white male you will face discrimmination, even if you are a white male you can face discrimmination. If you think that is not true you either don't know what discrimmination means or you are very delusional
And remember kids, status moves are literally useless, always. Just hit things. No strategy. Only hit.

Honestly Wolfey thank you so much for addressing those comments. It says a lot about who you are and I am very happy to subscribe to someone who makes great content and also seems like a really good dude
Hearing Wolfey go on a diatribe about inequality in gaming/streaming is such a breath of fresh air. I'm beyond tired of the legions of terrible, bigoted people who are involved in those scenes & the figures who enable them, and those people need to be forced to face themselves. As a trans girl myself, I receive some of that hate bc I beat some doofus at yugioh or on the showdown ladder. Everyone should heed Wolfey's words. Love u Wolfey. Thank you.
I was listening to Distance before clicking on this video only for intro Wolfey to be like, "Naruto?!" Edit: Between that wonderful speech and Feebas' evolution, this is easily my fave episode so far as I'm not even halfway through.
Wolfie talking about marginalized communities was so appreciated. This and Jan on PCDaily today actually going into trans rights as more than a meme made my day. Nice to see people who care and aren't too afraid of the backlash to talk about it.
What backlash? Supporting marginalized groups is safer than speaking against them. I mean I glad he supports them but this isn’t some bold statement this is the norm now (as it should be).
@@isStock Totally true, but what's safest, and far more common is to say nothing, or speak in a tokenizing matter. ie virtue signaling. Going out on a limb and detailing an issue, and taking time to explain it is a risk, and will likely cost him some support.
Wolfe, you are incredible. Not only are you a vibrant personality, not only are you a great Pokemon player, but you use your platform to speak out about real issues. You make a genuine effort to promote inclusivity and to challenge the toxic preconceptions rampant across so many online communities. Mindfully addressing these things is much more difficult than emptily stating that you "support marginalized groups" without actually doing anything to combat their oppressors. Thank you so much for being a positive influence.

@@asepsisaficionado7376 Except they Are real and true issues that go beyond any political alignment. It's just being a decent person when you acknowledge the issues people have to face in any space and try to make a more open and loving community.
@@asepsisaficionado7376 So do you believe all people in Western society are treated equally? If so, please give any statistics representing that or supporting that because there is zero evidence. Why do you think any social movements have had to occur before any marginalized peoples came to be treated as equals legally? And just because that happened do you believe all poverty, social issues, class issues, etc. were magically cured and went away???
@@asepsisaficionado7376 Can you quantify the oppression that you as a straight white man are facing due to an increase acceptance and support of marginalized communities? Because it's very easy to quantify the socioeconomic conditions that track along racial and sexual lines which result in marginalized communities being disadvantaged. There are aspects of our society that oppress all groups including white people due to our capitalist organization of the economy, but there is no way you will ever convince anyone that straight white men are being adversely effected by an increase in acceptance and opportunity for other groups.
@@kasch3288 Are you okay man? You hold a lot of anger over the word 'based' and assume it's turned into a reddit thing? It's probably cause Wolfey shares a lot of audience with Jan (Pokemon Challenges) who says based a lot
hearing the explicit discussion wolfey had about privilege in online spaces and especially those surrounding/influenced by gaming is so nice to hear especially because so many content creators just are not explicit about stuff like that .. it’s really uplifting and nice to hear support like that especially when you have such a big audience. keep up the good work!!! quick edit too but i’m also really glad it wasn’t like, a brief ‘i support everyone’ statement because like bigotry and discrimination need more than just blanket statements meant to pacify and the acknowledgment of the fact that there are problems in these spaces makes me really happy to hear :)
@@kasch3288 So it being marxist, with the now acceptance of gay marriage when gay people weren't even accepted is that not right? How about black people having equal rights after the civil rights movement? How about women having equal rights now when they didn't used to? At what point has any movement of equality and acceptance lead to a worse world or been incorrect in treating people equal? Or do you want humans to regress back to caveman standards?
@@kasch3288 if you think that the acceptance of more groups of people into a community is a bad thing then maybe you should reevaluate your own opinions. also if you think that’s what marxism means then y i k e s
@@KayOScode If you're making an ironic joke then ignore this, but if you genuinely missed the point he was making, it's not simping. It's just being an openly decent person talking about real stuff -- girl in chat or not. Pretty sure Wolfe has a number of them and other people in minorities in his audience, and if they were watching then they probably felt seen. It's really nice that he's building that kind of environment on stream so that everyone feels welcome; I don't think he has any ulterior motive here.
@@poou4460 yeah, it was a joke, but even still, I dont necessarily agree with wolfey. Making the community more welcoming is great, but theres scientific backing for why women dont perform as well at video games. They dont think the brain of a woman works the same way as the brain of a man. Strength, bone density, and reaction time, are not the only differences. Men are more competitive in nature, and that explains half the gap. A random source I found via a google search in next comment because I bet youtube will delete a comment with a link in it. Edit: i was right, the comment with my source was instantly deleted. Please search about competitiveness in men and women, there are many papers
@@KayOScode The point is that even if there are biological differences between men and women, women still face the issues wolfey mentioned. I know a girl who is friends with some people I play with online. She can’t use a mic outside of the group of people that she knows or else random players will say things like, “go back to the kitchen,” or, “shut up bitch” when she just talks. That has nothing to do with brain structure. It’s just straight up male toxicity, and it is absolutely a barrier to girls playing video games competitively.
@@anothermilkshake It feels like we finally have momentum to get past it, but there's still a lot of ambient sexism and other bigotries around gaming communities. I'm hopeful that with people like Wolfey and Jan fostering a welcoming and more aware environment, that progress can continue and heal our communities much faster
come for the funny talented wideo man with the consistently stellar pokémon content, stay for the genuinely good guy who (unlike many cishet white male content creators) doesn't shy away from discussing real issues in fear of alienating his sub base, and actively makes a point to tell it how it is, acknowledge his own position of privilege and uplift marginalised content creators. especially with some of the stuff that's happened in the pokétube community both over the years and in recent times, it's an incredibly refreshing (and important) change. you constantly prove why you're my favourite pokémon youtubist. keep it up wolfey !!
For real. It's a surprising highlight of this series for me. I want more serious talks with the champ. Addendum: Wolfe is an entertainer first and foremost, so I doubt serious talks will come up often organically and that's fine. I'm so here for them when they do tho
I already had a decent amount of respect for Wolfey but the fact that he felt it necessary to talk about marganlized groups has made me respect him even more. Keep up the good work man.
Wolfey talking about marginalized groups in vgc makes me want to derust in the doubles format and try to do vgc again. I would love to compete if more people were like him.
Okay Wolfey, I watch a lot of your videos but never subscribed. I just don't do that normally. But that serious talk made me appreciate you much much more. Thank you for speaking up about that stuff, you've earned a subscriber, truly.
i appreciate wolfeys discussion in the early part of this episode,, super important for people to understand the inequality that our creators in marginalized spaces have to deal with every day. thank you for speaking out !
I've been a fan of your stuff for a while now, watching on occasion to enjoy the pokemon content. But my respect for you is huge to use your platform to stand up for equality. Have a sub sir. Not that you said this for the sub, but because, you've gained my respect.
@@kasch3288 Step back for a second and question why Wolfies comments triggered you so much. You've responded to so many comments on here basically saying the same thing over and over. You've shown yourself to be homophobic in some of them. Life is different for different people, accept that you don't know anything about this topic or leave, clearly this community doesn't want people with those views here.
Thank you for the real talk. It's sad that people are mistreated for simply being themselves being their gender, skin color, sexuality... I believe that one day things will be better, we will get to a point where everyone will just be able to be in their own selves with no worry. And people like Wolfey are the people that helps that coming true. Thank you Wolfey for not being afraid to put your voice out, you're truly wonderful :3
im almost more happy about the positivity in the comments about the "serious talk" than i am about the serious talk itself. as someone who's part of a lot of marginalized communities, its lovely to hear my favorite youtubist stick up for us and its even lovelier to scroll down to the comments and not see toxicity. i guess, as many people have joked already, that's the world champ difference baybeeeeeeeeee
I have tried to openly support the female competitors in any Pokemon tournament. I have faced several who are easily better than I am and can beat me. I have never seen the harassment or overt racism in person (i.e. not by Internet randos), but I am certain it exists and I just feel bad for them.
💚 unfortunately internet randos can really get under your skin, especially if you have legions of people relentlessly demeaning and reducing you. With randos I guess there isn’t much to do, but if you’re able to have a constructive conversation about why their actions are harmful, it can go a long way
The thing about racism and bigotry too though is that it doesn't always happen overtly and will, more often than not, occur in subtle, "behind the scenes" ways where the offenders have plausible deniability. Like, the magnitude of people saying horrible crap on the internet is definitely higher, but if someone is saying horrible crap on the internet you know that it's because they can get away with it. There's always someone behind a computer screen, and in real life, they probably think some of those things, but act on it on different, more subtle ways. That's why you don't see as much overt harassment in person. People know how to hide their hatred in this day and age. Or they will deny, gaslight, blame other people for their actions. That's why it's so important to openly support marginalized communities & also openly speak out against harassment, bigotry, etc. consistently. Anyways, not trying to go on a tangent here, but yeah, I work in education, so you wouldn't believe how many people will claim that something is not a problem and/or be dismissive of it just because they don't "see it", or, rather, will not do anything until it becomes a big enough issue to draw attention. OR they'll pretend that what they are doing isn't bad because "they said so". It becomes frustrating when people will only speak out when it becomes convenient for them. But yeah, props to you for openly supporting other people. So many people will demand "proof" or convincing that bigotry & discrimination are persistent and pervasive issues before raising a finger, which is equally as frustrating and annoying on so many levels.
@@AuraComedy I agree! The scientific method and requiring proof to believe something is only in the way of true justice! Why use proof in the court-system at all? Why trying to prove anything at all? It is not like our civilisation has any technological benefit and standing from the scientific method at all... Are you really that dumb or are you trolling?
I appreciate Wolfe for being able to talk about racism and discrimination and also address the pervasive and problematic notions of: "oh well I don't believe racism exists anymore". Like, I can say personally that hearing stuff like that is one of the most frustrating things to hear, so I am glad to hear a content creator actually address it. Racism (and other forms of discrimination) are literally life and death issues (because yes, allowing bigotry to go unchecked in any form usually leads to violence) for the people affected by them. Just because someone does not hear about it does not mean that it "does not exist", only that you are privileged and/or fortunate enough to not have been victimized or targeted by bigotry. It's 99% of the time marginalized communities who are speaking out about these issues, so when somebody chooses NOT to believe them, then of course they are not going to hear about it. I can say, from personal experience as an Asian American, this was, and still is, continuing to happen in the US. Hate crimes against Asian Americans only got media attention in March after the mass shootings in Atlanta, but I can remember hearing about dozens of incidents of hate crimes and harassment happening months prior to March 2021. I can also say that it was very frustrating to see all the awareness and attention around anti-Asian discrimination essentially evaporate a few weeks after the attack in March. Because yes, absolutely hate crimes are still occurring everyday, and, yes, people have died too. I can also say that anti-Asian racism has a history in the US (only speaking on the US because I live there) and existed far before the year 2020 (IE: the murder of Vincent Chin, suicide of Danny Chen, mass incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII, etc.). If someone is not personally a target of the racism they are speaking on, and isn't listening to the people who ARE personally affected by racism, then of course they are not going to understand, nor understand the gravity of the issue. I imagine this is the case for other marginalized communities too. And to bring the point home: what benefit is there to the denial of racism in the first place? It's my firm belief that every human being deserves to feel safe and treated with respect and dignity and that we all have the responsibility to help each other out in need. In my opinion, someone who wants to deny that other human beings are suffering and being treated unfairly, is either doing so because they are either the perpetrators themselves, or because they are trying to skimp out on their responsibility to their fellow human beings. We've all got a role to play in making the world a better place IMO, and people denying that is unfathomable to me. As Wolfe said what really is the worse case scenario? What downside is there to really trying to make the spaces & communities people are apart of feel safer and more comfortable? There really isn't any, except for the people out there who believe they are entitled to harm others, and I personally WOULD NOT want to share a space with someone like that.
hi, I agree 100% with what you meant by this comment and don't want this to be read as a criticism of you (because it's not), but as a trans woman I've got a couple of tips about how to make your language more inclusive "trans" is an adjective not a noun and, when people call us "trans" as a noun rather than "trans people" or "trans women", "trans men" etcetera, it can sound dehumanising (in the same way it sounds dehumanising when someone refers to black people as "blacks") another small thing is that, by listing trans people as a separate category to women, it sounds like you're implying that trans women aren't 'real' women - I'm sure this wasn't your intention, as your comment was clearly kind and supportive of anti-discrimination, but a better way of phrasing that would be something along the lines of "where women and other marginalised genders feel less welcomed" again, I'd like to repeat that I do not say this to criticise you but to help you learn about inclusive language - you clearly care about trans rights among other social justice issues, so I want to help you express that in the most inclusive possible way 😁 thank you for reading if you got this far, I hope you have a nice rest of your day!
@@emmamorris6577 Im probably trans myself, but i am still learning. For me personally doesnt do much, but then again i have no issues with people refering to me as whites or as trans. or blacks as blacks In the end their just words, and i am of the personal oppinion that people should look at the usage of words with less hostility. People these days feel very quickly attacked for no reason just because people say things wrongly which makes me personally sad. I do fully agree with you that trans woman are just woman and trans man are just man. But sadly the mayority of the population of the world doesnt see it like that. But i personally also feel that Transpeople should try to be open and welcoming towards the ignorant because alot of people do not understand the way we think or feel. On top of this english language is not my native langauge And in the netherlands we can make about every word a noun and every noun in to a verb so our langauge is very open and because of that i do the same in english. Just saying trans is just faster then saying transpeople as long as the person itself is aware of the meaning it should be fine right?
@@Princess_Narii ah I didn't realise about the language barrier sorry, your English is very good! I think that words have a lot more power than most give credit for and that there's no harm in reflecting on how we can best use them to avoid hurting anyone no matter, I hope this thread is useful to someone and I wish you all the best on your own journey of self-discovery!
@@kasch3288 ???i mean i couldve used woke or something else but i think it fits the context? im just super happy whenever influential content creators use their platforms to advocate inclusion and the destruction of systemic barriers in (or out) of the gaming community!
Thank you for using your platform to talk about the issues marginalized groups face, especially as such a big voice in the Pokemon community. It really makes a huge difference, and shows just how incredible a person you are Wolfe. ❤❤❤

"Maybe because you've made it miserable for anyone to be around you" is such a killer line. It's really nice to see someone as high-profile and talented as Wolfey stick up for the people who need it. I'm trans and have always felt very unwelcome in competitive spaces, so it's quite reassuring to see that opinions are changing (and it seems most of the comments echo this so good work youtubist enthusiasts)
As of very recently, a lot of very accepting streamers have been getting popular, and that’s super pog. I really like Wolfe’s content and his ideals of respecting his audience. Great to have a home on the internet.
I remember this stream, some seemingly offhand comment from someone in chat turning into (some much needed) real talk. It's great to hear a content creator I like openly speaking out about these things, instead of "I support you but don't say anything because I don't want to lose followers". If I recall correctly and I'm not mixing up my streamers, there's also a talk about drugs/addiction in a later stream. I came for the pokemon, but I stayed for Wolfe because he's not only entertaining, but also seems to be a great human being. Also, great intro. I rate it Wolfe/10
Gosh darn it, I liked and subscribed with your quick and super effective CTA, have seen a couple dozen of videos before, ngl, but your real man talk made wanna sub harder. Woke Wolfey is even better Wolfey.
This run is seriously impressive. I’m really interested to see how far you make it. All you need is a really strong normal type (kanga or tauros would be great) and I think this run has potential to make it all the way.
As a trans person it always feels like a 50/50 about whether a streamer I’m watching wants me to exist or not, so hearing wolfey specifically say “non-binary” during the discussion on privilege filled me with incredible joy
Me, Wolfey and most likely everyone else in this comment section are complete strangers to you. With that in mind, trust me when I'm saying that neither of us cares about how you like to dress or who you like to f**k equally as much as you should not care about what we do. Do not get fooled by the collectivists and embrace individualism! Everything will make more sense then.
Hey editors, glad you left in Wolfeys woke talk in the early part of the video. I feel most of this community gets it but it is set up early enough in the video that hopefully it helps reach more people
Hey Wolfey. Have you made an analysis video of the most successful held items in vgc? If not, I would be very interested in watching that :) Also, I enjoyed your views on discrimination, and thank you for keeping them in the TH-cam video!
I just wanted to come here and say I really appreciate seeing someone with a sane point of view. Just one more tidbit if you're one who doesn't believe these people are being discriminated against: idk one thing that was hammered into my head in elementary was treating folks the way you want to be treated. So I believe everyone should treat eachother with respect at face value, just two people not knowing how each other are. Obviously that situation gets a little dicey when you factor in criminals and whatever, but for the most part, just be kind, or indifferent, I suppose that's alright too. I see so many arguments in TH-cam comments sections immediately resort to insults on the first response, before either person gets even a small taste of eachother (don't take that the wrong way). All this is what's made me so sensitive to what I say or do, I'll often apologize for little things, even the most tiny miniscule things, all because people will generalize you and treat you a certain way if they believe you align a certain way. That being said, sorry for the wall of text, I just wanted to say tl;dr be kind
(🎵Someone Like You) Queen Blep, you were such a mon, you were mega pog but now you’re gone. Wolfey thought that his dreams came true when he noticed you had water absorb.

SHE IS NOW IN THE DEAD BOX WITH BEEB! DON’T FORGET HER I BEG! WE REMEMBER QUEEN BLEP! SOMETIMES WE STREPTOBELIEVE BUT SOMETIMES IT HURTS INSTEAD!
I’m really really thankful for what you said around 3:30 . I had a friend recently say she thinks women are inherently weaker than men and it makes sense why queer people are bashed and it absolutely stunned me. It was shocking and disturbing that she believed a philosophy that disempowered her, and justified the violence that me and many other queer people face. Tbh I’m still processing, so I want you to know how much it means to me to hear you speak against that 💚
I love the pause to talk serious. Wolf, you are amazing. Thank you for speaking out on this stuff. Oh, and thank you too editor! Sorry, forgot to include that. Wonderful editing skills friend.❤️

Thank you for taking being such a solid voice of reason and using your voice to address touchy subjects in the gaming community that need extreme help. I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said about barriers facing women and POC and this kind of stuff makes me want to tune and support and spread your content even more. Well done sir!
I’m definitely not in any marginalized group, but it’s still great to see Wolfey being so inclusive and thoughtful. Thanks for creating a safe and welcoming space in your community!

LOOK AT WOLFEY RESPECTING EVERYONE WE LOVE TO SEE IT
Damn right! What an absolutely wholesome person I love him so much!
Honestly Wolfey thank you so much for addressing those comments. It says a lot about who you are and I am very happy to subscribe to someone who makes great content and also seems like a really good dude
Hearing Wolfey go on a diatribe about inequality in gaming/streaming is such a breath of fresh air. I'm beyond tired of the legions of terrible, bigoted people who are involved in those scenes & the figures who enable them, and those people need to be forced to face themselves. As a trans girl myself, I receive some of that hate bc I beat some doofus at yugioh or on the showdown ladder. Everyone should heed Wolfey's words.
Love u Wolfey. Thank you.

Wolfie talking about marginalized communities was so appreciated. This and Jan on PCDaily today actually going into trans rights as more than a meme made my day. Nice to see people who care and aren't too afraid of the backlash to talk about it.
Ikr! It made me so happy to hear as a black trans fan of both of them! Fucking Super based
@@Elias-py4mz damn, you're eating good as a fan today! Awesome to have validating and aware creators you can back
What backlash? Supporting marginalized groups is safer than speaking against them. I mean I glad he supports them but this isn’t some bold statement this is the norm now (as it should be).
@@isStock Totally true, but what's safest, and far more common is to say nothing, or speak in a tokenizing matter. ie virtue signaling. Going out on a limb and detailing an issue, and taking time to explain it is a risk, and will likely cost him some support.
Minority doesnt equal marginalized.
Wolfe, you are incredible. Not only are you a vibrant personality, not only are you a great Pokemon player, but you use your platform to speak out about real issues. You make a genuine effort to promote inclusivity and to challenge the toxic preconceptions rampant across so many online communities.
Mindfully addressing these things is much more difficult than emptily stating that you "support marginalized groups" without actually doing anything to combat their oppressors. Thank you so much for being a positive influence.

@@asepsisaficionado7376 that’s correlation. Not causation
@@asepsisaficionado7376 So do you believe all people in Western society are treated equally? If so, please give any statistics representing that or supporting that because there is zero evidence. Why do you think any social movements have had to occur before any marginalized peoples came to be treated as equals legally? And just because that happened do you believe all poverty, social issues, class issues, etc. were magically cured and went away???
@@asepsisaficionado7376 Can you quantify the oppression that you as a straight white man are facing due to an increase acceptance and support of marginalized communities? Because it's very easy to quantify the socioeconomic conditions that track along racial and sexual lines which result in marginalized communities being disadvantaged. There are aspects of our society that oppress all groups including white people due to our capitalist organization of the economy, but there is no way you will ever convince anyone that straight white men are being adversely effected by an increase in acceptance and opportunity for other groups.

WOLFEY RESPECTS WOMEN LET'S GOOOOOOO
He brought out his inner simp. I wonder of a girl was in chat 😂
@@KayOScode If you're making an ironic joke then ignore this, but if you genuinely missed the point he was making, it's not simping. It's just being an openly decent person talking about real stuff -- girl in chat or not. Pretty sure Wolfe has a number of them and other people in minorities in his audience, and if they were watching then they probably felt seen. It's really nice that he's building that kind of environment on stream so that everyone feels welcome; I don't think he has any ulterior motive here.
@@KayOScode Did you listen to a single word he said
@@poou4460 yeah, it was a joke, but even still, I dont necessarily agree with wolfey. Making the community more welcoming is great, but theres scientific backing for why women dont perform as well at video games. They dont think the brain of a woman works the same way as the brain of a man. Strength, bone density, and reaction time, are not the only differences. Men are more competitive in nature, and that explains half the gap.
A random source I found via a google search in next comment because I bet youtube will delete a comment with a link in it.
Edit: i was right, the comment with my source was instantly deleted. Please search about competitiveness in men and women, there are many papers
@@KayOScode The point is that even if there are biological differences between men and women, women still face the issues wolfey mentioned. I know a girl who is friends with some people I play with online. She can’t use a mic outside of the group of people that she knows or else random players will say things like, “go back to the kitchen,” or, “shut up bitch” when she just talks. That has nothing to do with brain structure. It’s just straight up male toxicity, and it is absolutely a barrier to girls playing video games competitively.

come for the funny talented wideo man with the consistently stellar pokémon content, stay for the genuinely good guy who (unlike many cishet white male content creators) doesn't shy away from discussing real issues in fear of alienating his sub base, and actively makes a point to tell it how it is, acknowledge his own position of privilege and uplift marginalised content creators. especially with some of the stuff that's happened in the pokétube community both over the years and in recent times, it's an incredibly refreshing (and important) change. you constantly prove why you're my favourite pokémon youtubist. keep it up wolfey !!
I liked the real talk moment.
For real. It's a surprising highlight of this series for me. I want more serious talks with the champ.
Addendum: Wolfe is an entertainer first and foremost, so I doubt serious talks will come up often organically and that's fine. I'm so here for them when they do tho
I already had a decent amount of respect for Wolfey but the fact that he felt it necessary to talk about marganlized groups has made me respect him even more. Keep up the good work man.
Wolfey talking about marginalized groups in vgc makes me want to derust in the doubles format and try to do vgc again. I would love to compete if more people were like him.
Okay Wolfey, I watch a lot of your videos but never subscribed. I just don't do that normally. But that serious talk made me appreciate you much much more. Thank you for speaking up about that stuff, you've earned a subscriber, truly.

this video is 100% proof that wolfey is the best youtubist and streamer as he takes time to stand up for what is right !
True and real
I have tried to openly support the female competitors in any Pokemon tournament. I have faced several who are easily better than I am and can beat me. I have never seen the harassment or overt racism in person (i.e. not by Internet randos), but I am certain it exists and I just feel bad for them.
💚 unfortunately internet randos can really get under your skin, especially if you have legions of people relentlessly demeaning and reducing you. With randos I guess there isn’t much to do, but if you’re able to have a constructive conversation about why their actions are harmful, it can go a long way
The thing about racism and bigotry too though is that it doesn't always happen overtly and will, more often than not, occur in subtle, "behind the scenes" ways where the offenders have plausible deniability. Like, the magnitude of people saying horrible crap on the internet is definitely higher, but if someone is saying horrible crap on the internet you know that it's because they can get away with it. There's always someone behind a computer screen, and in real life, they probably think some of those things, but act on it on different, more subtle ways. That's why you don't see as much overt harassment in person.
People know how to hide their hatred in this day and age. Or they will deny, gaslight, blame other people for their actions. That's why it's so important to openly support marginalized communities & also openly speak out against harassment, bigotry, etc. consistently. Anyways, not trying to go on a tangent here, but yeah, I work in education, so you wouldn't believe how many people will claim that something is not a problem and/or be dismissive of it just because they don't "see it", or, rather, will not do anything until it becomes a big enough issue to draw attention. OR they'll pretend that what they are doing isn't bad because "they said so". It becomes frustrating when people will only speak out when it becomes convenient for them.
But yeah, props to you for openly supporting other people. So many people will demand "proof" or convincing that bigotry & discrimination are persistent and pervasive issues before raising a finger, which is equally as frustrating and annoying on so many levels.
@@kasch3288 Sounds like you're the one who wants to be a victim, not them.
@@AuraComedy I agree! The scientific method and requiring proof to believe something is only in the way of true justice! Why use proof in the court-system at all? Why trying to prove anything at all? It is not like our civilisation has any technological benefit and standing from the scientific method at all... Are you really that dumb or are you trolling?
@@kasch3288 Or sexism.
And yes, exactly. People tend to assume that racism and sexism are out of control today simply because people tell them so.
I appreciate Wolfe for being able to talk about racism and discrimination and also address the pervasive and problematic notions of: "oh well I don't believe racism exists anymore". Like, I can say personally that hearing stuff like that is one of the most frustrating things to hear, so I am glad to hear a content creator actually address it. Racism (and other forms of discrimination) are literally life and death issues (because yes, allowing bigotry to go unchecked in any form usually leads to violence) for the people affected by them.
Just because someone does not hear about it does not mean that it "does not exist", only that you are privileged and/or fortunate enough to not have been victimized or targeted by bigotry. It's 99% of the time marginalized communities who are speaking out about these issues, so when somebody chooses NOT to believe them, then of course they are not going to hear about it. I can say, from personal experience as an Asian American, this was, and still is, continuing to happen in the US. Hate crimes against Asian Americans only got media attention in March after the mass shootings in Atlanta, but I can remember hearing about dozens of incidents of hate crimes and harassment happening months prior to March 2021.
I can also say that it was very frustrating to see all the awareness and attention around anti-Asian discrimination essentially evaporate a few weeks after the attack in March. Because yes, absolutely hate crimes are still occurring everyday, and, yes, people have died too. I can also say that anti-Asian racism has a history in the US (only speaking on the US because I live there) and existed far before the year 2020 (IE: the murder of Vincent Chin, suicide of Danny Chen, mass incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII, etc.). If someone is not personally a target of the racism they are speaking on, and isn't listening to the people who ARE personally affected by racism, then of course they are not going to understand, nor understand the gravity of the issue. I imagine this is the case for other marginalized communities too.
And to bring the point home: what benefit is there to the denial of racism in the first place? It's my firm belief that every human being deserves to feel safe and treated with respect and dignity and that we all have the responsibility to help each other out in need. In my opinion, someone who wants to deny that other human beings are suffering and being treated unfairly, is either doing so because they are either the perpetrators themselves, or because they are trying to skimp out on their responsibility to their fellow human beings. We've all got a role to play in making the world a better place IMO, and people denying that is unfathomable to me.
As Wolfe said what really is the worse case scenario? What downside is there to really trying to make the spaces & communities people are apart of feel safer and more comfortable? There really isn't any, except for the people out there who believe they are entitled to harm others, and I personally WOULD NOT want to share a space with someone like that.
Little bit of wholesome praising
hi, I agree 100% with what you meant by this comment and don't want this to be read as a criticism of you (because it's not), but as a trans woman I've got a couple of tips about how to make your language more inclusive
"trans" is an adjective not a noun and, when people call us "trans" as a noun rather than "trans people" or "trans women", "trans men" etcetera, it can sound dehumanising (in the same way it sounds dehumanising when someone refers to black people as "blacks")
another small thing is that, by listing trans people as a separate category to women, it sounds like you're implying that trans women aren't 'real' women - I'm sure this wasn't your intention, as your comment was clearly kind and supportive of anti-discrimination, but a better way of phrasing that would be something along the lines of "where women and other marginalised genders feel less welcomed"
again, I'd like to repeat that I do not say this to criticise you but to help you learn about inclusive language - you clearly care about trans rights among other social justice issues, so I want to help you express that in the most inclusive possible way 😁 thank you for reading if you got this far, I hope you have a nice rest of your day!
@@emmamorris6577
Im probably trans myself, but i am still learning.
For me personally doesnt do much, but then again i have no issues with people refering to me as whites or as trans. or blacks as blacks
In the end their just words, and i am of the personal oppinion that people should look at the usage of words with less hostility.
People these days feel very quickly attacked for no reason just because people say things wrongly which makes me personally sad.
I do fully agree with you that trans woman are just woman and trans man are just man. But sadly the mayority of the population of the world doesnt see it like that.
But i personally also feel that Transpeople should try to be open and welcoming towards the ignorant because alot of people do not understand the way we think or feel.
On top of this english language is not my native langauge
And in the netherlands we can make about every word a noun and every noun in to a verb so our langauge is very open and because of that i do the same in english.
Just saying trans is just faster then saying transpeople as long as the person itself is aware of the meaning it should be fine right?
@@Princess_Narii ah I didn't realise about the language barrier sorry, your English is very good! I think that words have a lot more power than most give credit for and that there's no harm in reflecting on how we can best use them to avoid hurting anyone
no matter, I hope this thread is useful to someone and I wish you all the best on your own journey of self-discovery!

watching this on 2x is so funny, it just looks like youre panicking the whole time.
I remember this stream, some seemingly offhand comment from someone in chat turning into (some much needed) real talk. It's great to hear a content creator I like openly speaking out about these things, instead of "I support you but don't say anything because I don't want to lose followers". If I recall correctly and I'm not mixing up my streamers, there's also a talk about drugs/addiction in a later stream. I came for the pokemon, but I stayed for Wolfe because he's not only entertaining, but also seems to be a great human being.

I just wanted to come here and say I really appreciate seeing someone with a sane point of view.
Just one more tidbit if you're one who doesn't believe these people are being discriminated against:
idk
one thing that was hammered into my head in elementary was treating folks the way you want to be treated. So I believe everyone should treat eachother with respect at face value, just two people not knowing how each other are. Obviously that situation gets a little dicey when you factor in criminals and whatever, but for the most part, just be kind, or indifferent, I suppose that's alright too.
I see so many arguments in TH-cam comments sections immediately resort to insults on the first response, before either person gets even a small taste of eachother (don't take that the wrong way).
All this is what's made me so sensitive to what I say or do, I'll often apologize for little things, even the most tiny miniscule things, all because people will generalize you and treat you a certain way if they believe you align a certain way.
That being said, sorry for the wall of text, I just wanted to say
