In this article we describe the narratives of two characters who in the last decade published videos about their most intimate secrets, usually love affairs and everyday life that have gained worldwide repercussion, through the space offered by Youtube. We propose to analyze the channels Ary Régis Lima and Raymundinho Furacão. For this, we selected four videos produced for entertainment, but in which the characters portray the violence experienced by them, through their sexual orientation. Although the narratives are full of satires, humor and exhibitionism, Baia Bahia and Raymundinho Furação militate while presenting moments of danger and distress.
