The End of AreTheyGay?

Tomorrow I will be uploading this announcement video, in it I cover a few updates to the channel. I'm changing the name, and the content will stay similar but will evolve over time. I'm also announcing my album lol. If you want to presave it, click this link:

I attached the video to this post, so you guy...

Charging?

I'm charging for the newest video and putting your names in :D. Cards will be charged the end of the month, at which point I need to organize the card people... many didn't have addresses and didn't get back to me on the address! I want to send you stuff :)

Cheers!

BTS + Charging soon

I'll be charging for the next vid sometime in the next few days. In the meantime enjoy these BTS pics :-D

Updog? Name change? Gay People?

What's that?

Some updates for you...

I'm filming the next video tomorrow... the subject is going to be a little different than my usual, but still gay and still sociological. 

I might be changing the name of the channel in a few weeks 0_0... because I'm "done" with AreTheyGay. I haven't analyzed whether characters are in love with each other in about a year. Anything evidence to the contrary has just been incidental.

I might just be using my name as the channel......

working on an album...

i thought i'd share one song from it if you're interested :)

who knows when it'll be released -_-

Feed... back? Updates?

did yall like the new video? 

as you might be able to tell... this channel hasn't technically been "AreTheyGay" in a while... I always knew that I didn't want to be the "AreTheyGay" guy forever, and I'm slowly making the transition to the type of content I really like making. the ATG series is fun, but it's not as intellectually or creatively fulfilling as other things. I love sociology, I...

Charging....

it's time. 

CHARGING IN THE NEXT 48 HOURS!

I'm about to make a charged post so I can put your names in the video :) I promise it'll be a banger fr....

New video filmed

Just finished 99% of filming for the latest video... ON OFMD and Rainbow Capitalism. I think this one will be a banger and I appreciate your patience... I'm working hard to get it out ASAP!!! Definitely before June ends so I can get that gay algorithm boost 

Next video and life updates

Hi all… I’m currently working on the script for OFMD/A criticism of advanced capitalist societies, but please bear with me as I am going through final exams :-$ but trust that I have an ITCH to write this script. Sometimes it’s hard balancing what your heart wants to do and what you’re “supposed” to do (like school). but I have cute things planned for the next video. hopefully neither y’all nor the algorithm forget I exist :-) 

Cards sent!

Hi Patrons. #HowAreYou?

I've sent lots of cards in the past, including those who are owed ones from the Encanto (sent two days ago!). I'm curious, you've all been receiving them right?

Thanks,

ALEX!  

An idea…

Hi! ultra gays will be receiving letters soon!

anyways,

I had an idea… after receiving so many responses to the OFMD call for submissions, I thought… maybe we could expand this. maybe we could build an archive of our different experiences with media, an archive with stories of the special relationship queer people have with media. People documenting the different shows and movies they have become attatched to or disconnected with because of queerness… a...

A little side project.

Hello everyone! I've been working on a little side project that I hope to announce soon. It's the "AreTheyGay" curriculum. It's nothing new, but it just organizes my videos in a way that may help aspiring queer media analysts. It makes queer media analysis accessible and free!!!! You can access it here:

https://www.itsall.gay/learn

Hopefully this is helpful to some!

Hi Patrons old and new :-)

Thank you for becoming a patron!!!!!! Video is doing well, thank you all so much for that!!! I'm going to be gone for a week because of Spring Break :-0 but once I get back I'll send out letters and discord links and whatnot. How are y'all?

Hesitations and ultimately i don't care lol

... perhaps I deliver a take you disagree with. But it's good to disagree because it means you're thinking for yourself.

...it was difficult to edit and write this script because I kept feeling like I was saying something wrong, or wronging some community. But I'm just going to own it. I don't agree with the framing of either side of the TikTok discourse over Encanto nor do I hide be...

Now Charging.

Hellomosexuals,

the encanto video is virtually done. Now it is a matter of tying up loose ends and adding some based names...

there can very well be a video out this week :-)

thanks <3

Charging soon

New video soon... look out for a charge in 48 hours.,.... thanks fam.... <3

Speaking of Bruno...

New video is being EDITED! Hope the takes don't get too spicy this time around :)

We don’t talk about Bruno?!?

Hi gaytrons! Just some updates for you?!!!!

was working on my weird ass TikTok video but then I encountered some spicy gay encanto discourse and then I realized “hey I’m south American  and queer why dont I settle This” and so now I’m gonna write a semi short script on encanto + post structural discourse analysis anyways…..

hope y’all’s are doing well!!!! Did the ultra gays get their notes yet? I sent them out about a week ago so?? I would like to know if they�...

NOTES + UPDATE

Update on notes... I have a few notes ready to be mailed TOMORROW. But Note (haha): if you became a patron after Jan 17 2022 (the last charged post) you will not receive a note until the next charged post since your cards haven't been charged (and I therefore can't verify payments I think!). Hope this makes sense!!!!

Working on video now... will involve tiktok (hmmmm)... gays I suppose.... and some qualitative social science research.... stay tuned o,o :)

Thanks yall!!!...

Some milestones :D

Just reached 300,000 subscribers!!!!! WOW! Thank you!!!!! PLUS we reached 100 patrons :-D Thanks so much for supporting me these past years :)

Hi

Hi.

Glad to see some new faces and glad to see ppl still here! Hope you enjoyed the last video!!!!!!

Just started a new semester of school so I'm about to be busy ! But I will periodically work on the new video :-D. Next order of business is working on that... probably some long post-marxist analysis of tiktok conservatives, we'll see.

I'll also send the handwritten notes to people soon and the discord invites as well!!! Thank you so much for supporting the channel !!!!

It's barbie time.

The Barbie video is "done." Okay, well it's not done. I just need to add sound like music and stuff. But it's spiritually done. I just need to add the aforementioned sound and your beautiful names!

Charging soon

Hi! I’m charging for Barbie soon this weekend or next week. I’ve been ultra busy though so we’ll see how my video schedule is in the coming months…. I have school plus random internship applications plus an album I’m trying to work on???
so many things… wish I could just focus on one but things never go as you want them to,huh?

hope y’all are doing well!

Updates!

Hi friends, sorry for being inactive so long. Once finals hit I was a mess and I needed a little break after. But I did manage to write a Barbie script+film it. Expect a new video very soon. Thank you all for sticking around <3

NEW VIDEO IDEAS

Alright we have three potential ideas, let's narrow them down to 2 for a public vote :)

Charging for Gay Poets Society

New video... this FRIDAY!?

I need to charge?

HI!!!??? The video is DONE!?!?

I need to make a charged post to put your names in!!!!!!!!

It will go up tomorrow!

Thanks :) 

HI PATRONSS!!!! - update?

HI, school has been making me poop my PANTS! But I filmed the Dead Poets Society video and am in the process of editing it. Should be up sometime this month :-)

Hope y'all enjoy!!!

An executive decision - Dead Poets Society

Hey everyone. It seems everyone voted on Dead Poets Society while many wanted Barbie (it was REALLY close). Here's what I'm going to do. While I'm in the throws of the Fall Semester, it's going to get very difficult to complete a whole ATG video. That's why I planned before this semester started that my video will come out in November instead of October. 

Now, I really want to do the lesbian Barbie movies to put some wlw content on the channel. And I almost decided to do t...
