In this post, Gloom appears to do none of that: no fake tears, no vocal fry, no forced emotion. In my “How Reliable is My Coming Out Video”?” post, I talked about how YouTuber Bobby Burns described how YouTubers can emotionally manipulate their audience for views. There is no “gay test” that you have to pass. She’s saying that you don’t need to date a girl to know that you’re lesbian. What’s remarkable about her is that she has never dated a girl but regardless still knows who she is. Gloom is an out, proud, Asian pansexual who believes that your sexuality shouldn’t matter. I realize that I’ve had a “white gay male” bias on this blog and that ends now. To find her channel, I had to scroll down dozens of YouTube videos to find her. Gloom is a gaming YouTuber that, before this blog post, I had never heard of. The significance of this video is that she uses humor and hindsight to talk about a very hard topic. As opposed to the other creators on this blog, she is the first one to come out as pansexual. This archive post will cover Gloom’s coming out video posted on July 7, 2018.
