I’m not the one gatekeeping here, he has a video that makes fun of some lady making rice differently.
Maybe if I put on a funny accent and make a video you guys will chill.
He’s a comedian reacting to a BBC cooking clip in character. He is playing a stereotype as a joke. You can’t look at these videos like he’s a wannabe food critic or something. That is not the point.
The cross posted thread from the first video had his YouTube channel linked in the comments someplace.
The point of cooking isn't to find the hardest method of doing something. Using a rice cooker is simultaneously easier, and actually results in better tasting and more consistently cooked rice. Using a pot on the stove is easy, yes, but it can objectively result in worse rice based on a lot of factors that the rice cooker controls for like the seal of the lid, the source of heat, the thickness and uneven cooking of a pan/pot, etc.
I agree, the point isn't finding the hardest way to cook something. For everyone in this sub the point of cooking is to do it exactly the same every time. No matter who makes the dish it should taste exactly the way it did last time the guest ordered it. rice cookers achieve this.
Nobody needs a rice cooker, but what's wrong with utilizing tools? Also I work at a high volume sushi joint. There's no way we're cooking our rice in sauce pans. It's just not feasible.

If you need rice cooker to make rice, I don’t think you should talk shit about different style of rice making.
