I thought Heartstopper was a show for kids, but apparently it is about getting drunk and having lots of sex! Here is a recording of me learning that this show is actually basically Skins!

This completes the trilogy of videos of me complaining about Heartstopper lmao! I did this just for fun, it's not a take down of Heartstopper or anything, just a laugh. And if you like it, maybe I can do more reaction videos? Enjoy!

"Pornography for people who don't like pornography"! Omg finally. I don't know if this term exists yet but I'd describe heartstopper as feminist titillation. Maybe people can enjoy this show guilt free, because watching it doesn't make them feel like creepy men. I'm gonna love this video.

I loved watching this because now I can comment the show with my friends who love the show without having to go through it. It also really showed it to me I am good having watched only season 1. The cutesy of it all doesn't really suit me.

Allanah Trice

would give my left tit for more reaction content if it's something you enjoy doing! this was hysterical, thank you so much! ❤️

Verity Ritchie

I did have fun, it was a nice lowkey video to make, so maybe I will do more! Thanks, Allanah!

LOLL i do enjoy seeing a sorta dressed-down version of the channel where i can hear your opinions in an easily digestible way. you voiced all of my thoughts about heartstopper, so i appreciated your critiques, and you're also about a thousand percent funnier than the heartstopper writers. hope to see more!!

More hooked by any interactions between you and your cat than any of the Heartstopper excerpts

And the Trans Braveheart lighting at 27:30 (has it been there the whole time? and I'm just noticing it now?) is the sacrament.

And I just generally love your Hatewatching Hearstopper vids because a friend of mine (who is also a verilybitchie patron) loves that show and I know they get annoyed every time and I think that's funny.

Verity Ritchie

Awww I tell them I'm sorrryyyyy! I don't wanna be annoying!

Vince Whitacre

It's ok I think there's just so little uncomplicated happy media they interact with that Hearstopper occupies a special place. I'm pretty sure they're ok with the fact that not everybody likes everything. 🙂

"I know writers who use subtext, and they're all cowards." Garth Marenghi It was fun seeing you continue the Heartstopper series! I have only watched Heartstopper through your eyes, but even just from the excerpts you quote it gives me weird vibes. Like around Isaac and the other guy: you've been saying mean things to each others for days, but he tells you he loves you and all is forgiven? If teens have this good of a temper these days good for them, but that doesn't resonate with me.

Deanna McMillan

As the aforementioned friend, I am very much in favor of letting people hate things lmfao <3

This was really good! Yes to more reaction content

I like that the gay show everyone loves is so averse to talking about anal sex that they couldn’t even have Charlie or Nick realise they’re a ‘side’ to dodge the issue, because that would require talking about tops and bottoms.

Alyssa Sembrat

The face you mare at 3:02 had me rotf 😂😂.

Jam Doe

I'm in fandom spaces and I've seen so much hate on Charlie for not acting the best when his ED gets worse, and I think it's because the show is so dedicated to modelling good behaviour by having its protagonists handhold the audience through it, that when Charlie starts acting outside of that it feels like whiplash (for people who can't handle even a hint of emotional complexity in fictional characters). Heartstopper comes off as inauthentic because it's basically a collection of where no resentment can be carried between protagonists.

i rlly enjoyed this as usually everyone’s so over the top about heartstopper and how it is soo amazing. but like watching it it’s wild to see even how the narrative is aphobic to isaac as he is constantly pushed and relegated to the side and also how meh nick & charlie are

Leland Culver

Can we talk about how Isaac the asexual aromantic is also the only one in the group who isn't buff or rail thin? It's desexualization of fatness all over again (even though he's like, barely fat, which almost makes it worse). Now, if the show did something interesting with his character this probably wouldn't bother me nearly as much, because then his agency or interesting dramatic story would be something to care about, but as long as they don't and as long as the show tries so hard to be perfectly anodyne the only thing I can say about Isaac is that he's actually running into a different harmful trope.

Karoliina Ollikainen

I’m a little too tired to fully express how much I loved this, but I loved this and am here for more reaction videos!

Niamh

Omg you are. the best. As delightful to watch as Heartstopper which I enjoy immensely lolll 😂 I watched the season a few days ago too and thought aw too bad Verity probably won't have the patience to do another video on this show, that would be great, and then you did! And it was even better than I expected! Echoing others, I would love more reaction videos.

"Pornography for people who don't like pornography" made me cackle. In fanfic reading/writing circles, we'd call that "fluff." Basically, cute/romantic content with no conflict or tension, designed to elicit warm fuzzy feelings in the viewer/reader. And, like Heartstopper, fluff usually gets boring VERY fast if you aren't shipping whatever relationship it's about.

blue blue moon

had to pause and have a full belly laugh at the 'what kind of porn is he looking at?' to eating disorder reveal. this is a delight.

Leland Culver

There's a moment in Tripping Over You (a different gay webcomic that iirc ALSO starts with its main couple meeting in sixth form) where the main couple is like "oh we want to have sex now," and they're in bed like getting down and then suddenly stop like "uhh how do people actually do anal?" And then they go over to the computer half-clothed to research and make this "huh, interesting" face at each other and are like trying to work it out together and it's so fucking funny. It's probably not realistic that they totally wouldn't know, but the vibe of that scene does such a good job of communicating the human awkwardness that is actually having sex with someone and I really love it for that. edit: here is the page: https://www.trippingoveryou.com/comic/not-how-i-envisioned Digging this up reminded me that Tripping Over You is kinda good actually. Even though it has a lot of fluff there's a real plot too, and it does kinda feel like an authentic portrayal of a queer relationship.

Ro

I really like this format, you’re very naturally entertaining :))

vicious panda

I really enjoyed this and would love more reaction videos. I’m pretty sure Alice Oseman put in drinking & sex in this season because of your previous review 🫢

Laura K. Watson

I do enjoy watching Heartstopper but also fully agree with everything said here. No one in the show is allowed to be messy or flawed. Characters are always having really healthy conversations with each other about how they feel and never respond in the wrong way and everyone's first sexual encounter is totally beautiful and not weird at all because that's true love!

allykitten87

The sex and drinking is in the books released long before.

The Urge

I honestly hate the way that heartstopper became the queer webcomic to get a fanbase when there's a different comic called autophobia which is a lot like Heartstopper but much better. It's messy and characters have reactions they shouldn't and mental health is explored deeper, and the couple has better chemistry, and the character drama is stronger. It arguably starts out worse than heartstopper in some ways because the art was so ugly then and the love interest was kind of creepy, but by the time the protagonist starts to return his feelings, it's immaculate. And despite the main characters currently being both virgins, they feel like two dumb teenage boys who mutually want to have sex with each other to the point that the writer has had to confirm after the fact that no they did not have sex between scene transitions they just got really hot and sweaty from how unbelievably horny they are, which to me honestly feels very accurate to how my teenage self would be acting in a relationship if I genuinely had one.

The Urge

But alas, if there actually was a live action show about a gay couple where our male protagonist stares at another boy while slowly putting a banana in his mouth, politicians would be throwing around the word pedophile like it's the worlds worst game of hot potato, and we'd never hear the end of the fucking discourse. And the fact that he digs his heel into his fat boyfriends big ass after ogling it, would lead to so many accusations of fetishization because to the mainstream you can't have normal attraction to fat people. I think heartstopper is so safe because unfortunately it has to be in an era where it's existence is already a controversy.

Verity Ritchie

To be fair though, there have been loads of dramas with gay teenagers over the last 25 years. And sure conservatives have complained, but its hardly as novel as people think it is. But I think the idea of Heartstopper's novelty is part of its brand. It doesn't have to be this way, it just sells well right now, because that's the vibe of the early 2020s.

The Urge

They didn’t complain then but we’re in a backlash era where these people have started to realize that gay cartoon characters exist, like they’d notice a show that is specifically a gay romance show with teenage characters acting like this. And the desexualization of fat people has always been a thing.

Verity Ritchie

I know people complained about the teenager in Queer as Folk in 1999 because I cited it in a video this year lol! I don't remember any era being okay with gay teens on tv.

zet

funniest video i've seen in weeks!!

Dora Mercedes

When teens say they like Heartstopper I'm like yeah. You should. It's for you. And when people my age (I'm 33) say they love it. I'm like wow. Mediocrity won you over? You're ok with that?

Oskarito

There is this expression in Polish "słodko-pierdzący" which translates to "farting sweetly" and refers to mostly couples who are so nice to each other and just say sweet things to the point of annoyance and I think it best describes this show. I did enjoy seasons 1 and 2 but was also tired with them, mostly because I can cry to a movie trailer if you put at least a little bit sad scene and some music in the background, so the series played to these sentiments. However, it felt more like eating crisps and that these emotional moments were kinda meh and by season 2 it really wore off.

Stephen Leach

Just became a member today and am working my way through your backlog; this video alone was worth it. Adding my voice to the call for more reaction videos!!

Verity Ritchie

Thank you for joining, Stephen! I will definitely do more, at least the upcoming heartstopper movie, I think!

deep red

just joined recently and getting to these now - why was this so funny, this almost brought me to tears. you are a natural. please do more of these if you were still thinking about doing so !

JoshuaMartian

Really enjoyed this! There's something cathartic and, dareisay, FUN about having a go at a show that's not very good but basically harmless. Nobody's actually mad about Heartstopper because that would require somebody to have a reaction beyond 'Aw! Good for them :)'

Hannah Grace

Schnappe’s cameo was more intriguing and interesting than everything I’ve seen of Heartstopper so far 🤭

Hannah Grace

Wait what do you mean? Americans are obsessed with British TV specifically, and K-dramas, and Chinese romances, and telenovelas, and… FWIW, these accents sound very strange to me too, and I have the middle of the road US Midwestern accent, lmao.
