I've had people insist that I'm gay because (a few years ago) I disagreed with them when they said that gay people shouldn't be allowed to marry. Apparently in their twisted world, you can't believe in treating people who are different from you as an equal without being gay. They said I was gay and made fun of me for it all because I didn't share their penchant for looking down on people for not being the same as me. Fun times.

And now he's got the most beautiful girl on all of Youtube as his girlfriend

There are too many people who care way too much about other people's sexualities.

[prterrell]

Elliot's is one of those rare straight dudes who is flaming.

[tylerlatham]

I'm legit lost. I've never assumed his sexual orientation.

[ShowJumper]

I want Elliott to write an autobiography called Elliott just to epitomize his narcissism.

This video was awesome! Drives me nuts when people assume a person is gay but their mannerism, fashion etc. People like to assume because it makes it easier for them to go about their lives ha!

I see it myself when conversations on sex and sexuality come up in conversation, I'm a straight white girl and I find sexuality fascinating and know quite a lot about it. Although I identify as 'straight', on the spectrum I wouldn't say I was dead on 'heterosexual' I'm a little open. If this comes up in conversation people look at me confused like 'but she's not gay' or 'she doesn't look bisexual'. People need to educate themselves and ignore the stereotypes!

Yet another example of why you are absolutely amazing. I can so highly relate to this and thank you for voicing it!

[ShartimusPrime]

If it helps any, I'm from San Francisco and when I saw the thumbnail I literally said out loud, "He's not gay." So at least one of us out here knew you were straight and didnt just think it.

[boland]

Nice to see you've come back to us here on your YouTube channel...

[RolyWestYT]

People always think I'm male and that's fine but when I tell them I don't identify as one the look of confusion is well out of this world

[psdirewolf]

im glad that elliott is making videos again

[denizaltintas]

I've missed you Elliott. I'm glad you're back :)

[grindlemarka]

I love it when people think that they are positive they know something...and they are proven wrong. Good job!!!

Being autistic, my answer to all of the questions at the end is a resounding, "Yes, of course, and I didn't know it was because I'm autistic until recently." Which, I might add, makes for a VERY roller coaster-esque life where you ONLY make sense to 'typical' people when you go out of your way to observe what 'typical' looks like to them and try to replicate that; behaviour, appearance, minor motor movements, speech patterns, tone usage patterns, how peoples social roles shift in mindbogglingly weird ways with every shifting context, the absurd things that people actually clump together to categorize as a 'context', etc.

My life is basically an open world RPG game on ultra hard difficulty settings, without much of anything in the way of good manuals, internet access, walkthroughs, etc. Just a lot of trial and error and constant, conscious, artificial character engineering and role playing/acting. And it's really, really easy to... forget lines, make role selection mistakes, tone, speech, behaviour mistakes, actual muscle/motor coordination mistakes, etc. Nuthin' comes naturally, except lookin' weird af to other people when I'm not putting all of my energy into portraying a specific role with every fibre of my being.

I started watching this channel when he was trying drinks and figuring out what the set would be like. way to go. seems like you got in your groove Elliott.

I am a gay woman and I've definitely felt a little paranoid about the assumptions people make about me because of my sexuality. I dont present myself based on who I'm in a relationship with- and i consider myself fairly feminine- and it's always bothered me that at times, disclosing my sexuality becomes a fun gotcha moment for the person I've shared that information with. "Oh, I knew it I had a feeling!" never sat right as a response because not really, you didn't know. You assumed. My personality is not based on my sexuality. And if I explore a "masculine" hobby or fashion choice I can't help but notice people saying "oh of COURSE she does she's a lesbian after all!" but that part of my life has little to no bearing on what I enjoy doing with my time. I've always felt, like most people who don't immediately line up with neat social catagories, that I walk a some what thin line between how I see myself and the expectations and assumptions other people have for me based on something as private and trivial as who I'm attracted to.

[DaltonGoesSlow]

Hahaha I have the same issue >:) oh well. I'm glad you're back because you left sourcefed right when I found you, the shortly after you left YouTube! But now I have you again and I'm pleased!

[samcollins]
