On October 15, White apologized onTwitter, admitting she did not do "enough research" and took "rumors about her at face value", and deleted the video from her YouTube channel.[11]
In 2021, White said of theSuper Straight trend that "The fact that people are upset about this new sexuality being created is a little hypocritical coming from the folks who createdabrosexual,demisexual,gerontosexual,gynosexual,intrasexual, kalosexual,multisexual,pomosexual,sapiosexual, and literally hundreds more" and that "Even though super-straight is a joke, the irony is that it's a lot more valid than a lot of those I just listed. Actually, all of them."[12]
