He's nearing self-combustible gay...and teetering on the line of shemale.
Self-combusting? Yeah, that's the point...there's an underlying frustration to a lot of his videos. Shemale? Who cares? There's nothing wrong with that, if that is what he feel he needs to do. Most women posting comments on his work are saying they would kill for his eyes, makeup and hair. heh. So he knows what he's doing, apparently.
I think, if you take the time to read the article I posted earlier, you'd see that he's really a profile...and an icon, for gay teenage outsiders everywhere. His acting out is really just another, rather dramatic, form of teenage rebellion. He just happens to be gay, in a VERY judgmental rural town...so his excessive flamboyant nature is born out of that environment.
I always enjoy watching potential cultural shifts taking place. I can't guarantee that this kid is doing that...but he's certainly a lot closer to the front lines than you or I, and I respect that (even if I don't find everything he does to be entertaining, or refined enough as I would like.)
The fact the some idiot put that on video and then posted it on the internet just lowers the IQ of the net as a whole.
There were idiots before the internet, and there'll be idiots long after it's gone. Either way...I don't see this kid in the same light at 99.999% of the useless "commentary" videos on Youtube. The unique dynamic between him and his Grandma alone is fascinating enough to separate his work out from the rest. BTW, he states that she is in complete denial about his homosexuality, and if you watch the videos she appears in...you can see that she never reciprocates him on any comment that references his gayness.
And you wonder why he's nearly "self-combusting"? Jesus, the person whom loves him the most, and whom he seems to care a great deal for, can't even acknowledge a very important part of him. I can't imagine how frustrating that must be.
