The video is funny, and makes some good points, but often misses details (but then that is the nature of humor---it is built around exaggeration, etc). Also that channel often deliberately gets things wrong for humor and to antagonize fans so they respond (the guy who does it has said as much). I don't take issue with any of that though because the purpose of the channel is to get people to laugh and to troll fans a little (but in good fun, not to sneer at people). But serious criticisms should be more nuanced, and should allow for differences of opinions around conclusions as well as underlying assumptions. But a lot of what I am seeing looks more like religion than criticism to me. The problem I have is it comes off as this list of beliefs that, if you haven't encountered them, you are painted as a rube (i.e. the lit 1 comment), and if you encounter them but disagree (even if it is just with some of the points) you are painted as immoral or supporting immorality----I keep getting told that I am bad and wrong because stated their arguments, linked to things, and yet I persist in disagreeing with them: no one has to agree with you; we are all allowed to have our own ideas and thoughts and to encounter arguments but find them unpersuasive. Thinking someone is evil, bad, immoral or deeply flawed because you told them something and they still don't agree with you about it, is religious thinking.</p></blockquote><p></p>
