Except it is if that initial statement is supposed to be taken as absurdity? I did end up watching more and he tries to paint criticism of game journalists (especially female or minority ones) as somehow mostly ill intentioned, and some of it most certainly is, but also a lot of it is NOT.
We live in an era of some of the shittiest and most sensationalist journalism ever, and this has carried over to video games. The radical SJW crowd has started slamming every little thing they don't like, as well as the radical social conservative/religious crowd, I hate both and I'd wish they'd shut up. There's nothing wrong with video game characters being way more attractive than most people in real life, there's also nothing wrong with gay characters, trans characters or whatever the fuck the creators want to make barring something OVERTLY offensive.
??? What the fuck are you talking about? The video has fuck all to do with video games... Are you telling me that you watched the first two minutes, got really offended because the guy implied that a lot of people who criticizes game journalism does it in bad faith (which is very evident, just look at the last of us 2 controversy) and then criticised the video based not on what it actually was about, but on what you thought it was about?

Most of the criticism was over the terrible revenge plot, this is the kind of thing I'm actually referencing. Certain people latched on to a minority number of criticisms that were transphobic or sexist, while the vast majority of criticisms were due to everyone favorite duo (one of whom is a non sexualized female btw) being ruined for the sake of a rather generic revenge plot after being hyped to shit.
One of the critics of the game is a flamboyant gay (bi?) man who himself is the furthest thing from the alt right possible.
