5 Movies That Become Insane If You Swap Genders - YBOC (Titanic, Shape of Water, Back To The Future)

[Music] hey there nerds we're back to having our special appointments in an undisclosed secret location i'm dr jordan breeding but if anybody officially asks let's let's say joe dan brading anyway you're watching another episode of your brain on crack where again if anybody asks tell them it's called something like your dome on cocaine and it's the only show on cocaine where i'm dramatically altering my appearance week to week here's what i got middle aged man faux hawk good luck identifying me now pigs not as stupid as sheep mind you but pigs are definitely stupid anyway today i will semi-legally diagnose for most movies gender swapping the lead characters won't make any real difference i mean sure they steal jewelry in ocean's a instead of something real manly like crates of 100 beef hot dogs but fewer wieners isn't why ocean's eight is the worst oceans you thought we were just gonna steal one necklace what do you think we are a bunch of [ __ ] to really examine hollywood's weird gender standards let's take a few existing movies and do what i do in the operating room and just make some incisions move a few organs around it just kinda i'll see what happens do i really need to go over the plot of titanic all right fine uh in short guy and girl meet on big boat big boat sinks guy dies girl lives and we all end up learning how to play my heart will go on with the recorder in our elementary school music classes [Music] if the genders were reversed in titanic right away the power dynamic becomes super weird you have a spoiled dude from an upper upper-class family picking between a forced marriage to a rich girl and a hot teenage vagrant who impresses him with detailed sketches of penises [Music] imagine jack saying draw me like one of your french boys while he gently dangles the heart of the ocean jewel from his engorged dick put that [ __ ] in 3d tell me that wouldn't be more worth 25 for an imax ticket than avatar 17. this assuming of course theaters ever reopened it's been 84 years but anyway the scene really highlighting the uncomfortable underlying dynamic of the couple is when they're on the damn door originally jack lets rose have the floating door in the ocean because it's too small for both of them you know it's the gentlemanly thing to do she lives and later gets married and has kids with her unfrozen womb you actually think this is you nana it is me dear wasn't i a dish but if you swapped them some were forced to look at the uncomfortableness of their vastly different financial situations now it's this wealthy man taking over the door to save his life while his homeless mistress slowly freezes to death then once he sees that she's died while he's been chilling on his makeshift paddle board she gets slid into the ocean and he's like damn i quite like that peasant girl there's another one these are dead sir come to think of it everything about the well-off dude even accepting the poor woman selfless gesture makes him look like a monster no please mr rich white man go live your life of adventure travel in expensive hobbies i'll gladly sacrifice my poor worthless poor person life to make it possible man think of the thing pieces no and now i need to explain the plot of the spike lead joint inside man jesus watch a movie every once while huh anyway nypd detective denzel washington interrogates a bunch of people who are released from a kidnapping at a bank in order to determine which were hostages and which were the actual robbers because things got kind of confusing for a moment when they all dressed up the same and since the robbers kept the masks on the whole time the detectives only have one good lead to identify them well two good leads yeah i'm talking about boobs kids why do you remember great tits it turns out multiple witnesses confirmed one of the perpetrators was a dark-haired big busted woman the detectives quickly determined there are only two people from the bank who match that sensual physical description you want to take another picture so what does denzel do sexy talk the women in confessing no he just lets them go because one of the women got really uncomfortable and offended when the cops mentioned that uh she has a failing grade cup size so they just dropped the whole thing they couldn't possibly imagine being uncouth towards their sex even though this is easily their best lead and their best chance of solving the case so i violated section 34 double d that's weird and absurd in its own right but now imagine denzel washington interrogating a couple of big [ __ ] perpetrators in this new scenario a couple of wandering eyed hostages notice one of the thieves is either smuggling a pipe bomb or a thick meat tube and as soon as they're released they breathlessly describe what they'd seen to the cops this forces the authorities to thoroughly inspect each suspect's groin [Music] eventually they narrow their search down to two men with impressive donors the funny thing is the male cops are probably less likely to be embarrassed about getting personal with male suspects because nobody really cares if men's privacy is violated so they probably actually follow through on the lead eventually i'm picturing the case making it to actual court where the defendant's mom testifies that her boy was born with a micro penis and the prosecution brings out a penis expert to accurately define the characteristics of an above average crotch hog are you listening csi it's free money you can have it step on the paper strip just pretend she's an eight-year-old girl similarly imagine the infamous leg uncrossing scene in basic instinct reimagine with the suspect just whipping a snake out mid interrogation in front of a couple of female detectives like lyndon b johnson giving a press conference suddenly the vibe is less sensual misdirection and more sexually harassing power play the shape of water is an oscar certified best picture story about a mute woman who has an immediate connection with a mysterious fish creature held captive in a secret government science lab and when the military decides to kill the creature because michael shannon can't not be evil she takes it upon herself to save her species transcending soulmate and smuggle him out of the lab go empathy and and then she takes it home and just sit in the bathtub go empathy it's refreshing to see a movie that portrays female sexuality in a non-shameful or judgmental way but that said imagine this movie about a lonely male janitor who lives at home by himself and jerks off in the bathtub every morning he finally sees a sexy lady fish creature in a lab bonds with it over a mutual appreciation of hard-boiled eggs and decides to take it home and stick his very human penis in its very scaly wok uh wet ass cloaca wet ass cloaca suddenly this spiritual love connection between human and fishy or human becomes the story of a dude who just gets the oddest boner whenever you eat sushi also what would this guy's octavia spencer friend think i highly doubt they'd be like finally you found someone who understands you on a level that transcends language more likely it'd be holy sh did you bang that lab fish what is wrong with you also you might want to have your doctor just seal your dick off because uh whatever lobster gonorrhea you definitely acquired is gonna get in your brain any second you would understand couldn't understand that if you tried your whole life and when you swapped the genders suddenly all sorts of questions about consent bubble up can a non-human creature consent to sex we know it has some intelligence but what if it's barely smarter than a dog don't don't play with the kitties no no don't play with the kitties suddenly this doesn't scream best picture winner as much as it does the cops will be at your house in 10 minutes to confiscate your aquarium guillermo i'm not angry have you ever noticed that almost all movie love triangles are between two men and one woman there are very few examples of a man choosing between two mostly equal women if a man is choosing it's between his harpy evil girlfriend who is objectively hot but also like eats live iguanas and stabs children and the exciting manic pixie dream girl who's known about for years but never really noticed you know i thought you were chuck it's me yeah the thing is society tells us men are always the pursuers even in the scenario with two women fighting over one dude the male character still ends up pursuing that manic pixie in a traditional rom-com the female lead merely succumbs to the pursuits of one of the two men if we swapped the genders and had two women really pursuing a man it would just feel off-putting and shitty rather than romantic consider the notebook it's not going to be easy it's going to be really hard think how much you would hate rachel mcadam's character ally if she was a man flitting between two women even though al becomes engaged to a perfectly fine maybe even great woman a different woman has been obsessing over him and builds him an entire freaking house designed to his exact specifications in the hope it'd bring him back to her someday somehow and that's so exciting to al he lies to his fiancee and tricks her into letting him go on a pre-wedding trip to bone town with some weird clingy chick he hasn't seen in several years i can't play chopsticks with you doing that even though the man is essentially abandoning his fiancee i think a large section of society would be more pissed at the female equivalent of noah for being a home wrecker i don't have to take advantage of you actually there may be two issues at play because when female rachel mcadams abandons her would-be husband it's high-flying romantic but if al did it it's just gonna be seen as [ __ ] adultery society has created this impossible situation where men are supposed to pursue in a competitive scenario with comparable men but they're not allowed to succumb to the call of the whop the wet wet op wet ass p word look back to the future is already a strange enough movie in the way that making out with your mom is strange but the strangeness really becomes more pronounced if marty's a girl and that's without digging into a young woman sneaking out late at night to conduct experiments with an old man in his garage i'll stimulate the cloaca the real issues were once again in the notebook scenario nobody wants where two women female marty and her eventual mom are essentially fighting over one man her dad we're back to that what's worse we meet marty's mom and she sits in a tree with binoculars hoping to spot marty's dad's dick through a window and yes i get that that's problematic no matter the gender but what are the chances that she's really gonna spot anything worth ogling from that distance anyway i mean unobserved schrodinger dicks are rarely impressive creatures they tell me he's a peeping tom anyway marty gets hit by a car and awakens in her underwear with her young daddy staring lustfully at her the first thing her dad reveals is that he inspected her underwear very closely to the point he assumes her name must be victoria's secret and also can he sit inches from her nearly nude body please and possibly spend the night with her the florence nightingale effect is no longer kind of sweet it's kind of rapey from there marty must constantly rebuff her father's incredibly forward advances while attempting to foist him off onto her awkward mom who's just really into sci-fi books this eventually culminates in a plan whereby marty agrees to hook up with her dad but does so in such an aggressive and borderline abusive way that marty's mom has to drag marty out of the car and save marty's dad from this strange sexually aggressive woman help me you know now that i've said it all out loud this is kind of a movie i want to see i mean it's borderline becoming a coked out kill bill-esque sexual power play revenge fantasy an injured woman who was taken advantage of by a creepy man concocts a plan to use her sexuality to manipulate him and drive him to the arms of a woman who literally stalks men for voyeuristic and maybe murderous plunger well somebody should call tarantino do you have his number oh yeah i'll give it to you fantastic wow you must be rich hey look i'm a girl i'd recap what we discussed but i'm pretty sure everybody's alexis have already put me on some sort of watch list so i guess that's it but how's this for disguise eh look now i'm a baby and i'm asking you to like

That was an interesting watch and I will certainly try to remember those examples for future reference.

However, I feel we must be careful not to confuse a comedy video aimed at a young male audience with fair and balanced media/cultural analysis. There is a lot of nuance and depth lacking here which could lead a lot of boys down the "men have it way worse" or "women are evil" routes.

For instance:
Why is the lack of professionalism from the witnesses and detectives in Inside Man significant?
How does Inside Man pander to its male target audience?
Would it be different if the women had a less "desirable" trait - small breasts, large nose, lazy eye?
Why is Jack dying for Rose significant within the time period the movie is set?
Is it fair to judge a 1985 movie (BTTF) by modern social standards?
Is Marty's mother's sexual aggression unforgivable, or rather a reflection of inexperience being the "chaser"?
How is the fact that women are encouraged to be romantically passive important in The Notebook?
How is the concept of "slut shaming" relevant to the romantic genre?
Is the "leg uncrossing scene" in Basic Instinct a bad reflection on women, or on the male writer and director who made it a reality?
Are there any other movies that would provide counterpoint to the movies analysed here?

I feel like this video not only swapped the genders, but also changed the characters' personalities. They didn't simply change the pronouns, but they reworded the plots to make the reverse sound worse.

If we were to only change the genders as in, gender bending, there wouldn't be much difference in the narrative, but there would be a difference in how the audience sees your characters, especially in today's world. I bet a lot of people would laugh at "Draw me like one of your french boys" but would think "Draw me like one of your french girls" is seductive.

Honestly for me, I used to think this too. But then I started really thinkijg about role reversed situations and the more I think about them, the more they feel completely normal. Like let's say a boy had a name traditionally associated with girls, like say, "Patricia" at first people would think it's weird, but after a while of knowing him and saying his name a couple more times, it starts to feel normal.

I feel like that's how it is with gender norms, we don't see the reverse often enough to think it's normal and so a lot of people's reactions are often disgust, laughter, confusion, etc.

Like for example, the whole "It's rapey when the genders are reversed" is pretty stupid in my opinion. The reason female on male sexual harassment in movies can get romanticized so much is because of framing, attitude and context.

Think of it this way: In a lot of movies where a woman is making inappropriate advances on a man, usually his reaction is discomfort but we still get the feeling the woman is a docile creature who can't do any harm anyway. Instead of portraying her as aggressive in a harmful way.

Of course, the reverse wouldn't depict the man in a docile way, instead he would usually be portrayed as more aggressive and dominant and even if he was docile, the audiende would view him as a "simp" who also happens to be a sexual harasser. And then this is when it looks really bad.

Now think of it in this other way. In some movies, they portray men enjoying the harassment when it is done by an attractive woman. But if she's ugly, they portray his assault like a joke. Now in movies where they portray sexual harassment against women, usually, she never smiles or shows physical enjoyment. Of course you shouldn't portray people enjoying sexual harassment because that could lead people to believe that it's an okay thing to do.

Which is why men enjoying sexual harassment in movies is quite bad. It is almost never portrayed as scary or an uncomfortable experience that stays with them, just a little something that's kind of annoying and then completely forget about it.

That's just my two cents, feel free to add anything.
