What is being missed here is that the same standard isn't being applied to critiques of characters across the board because of the politics of the critic. In my admitted limited experience watching him, this is something that The Critical Drinker does frequently - he makes attacks on characters based on politics. As an example, in his reviews for Star Trek Discovery he refers to Michael Burnham as "diverse female space Jesus". I am the last person to defend Star Trek Discovery (I hate the show) and I think Michael Burnham has tons of problems as a character but none of them are because of her race or gender. In the few videos of his I have watched I never saw him apply a nickname to a male character that referenced his race and/or gender and said it was a part of the character's problem.</p></blockquote><p></p>
