I'll admit aydin paladin videos are a bit long for my tastes and a bit dry but i did watch the amount Not Online said (1 hour and 9 mins onward) and i don't remember anything it said remotely saying "Girls Are Bad" so much as saying "Girls say they like the Girl boss character but really actually don't watch it as has been declared by multiple studies." Also the few studies that said otherwise were done by a person that was extremely new and often mis-represented things.
It's rather interesting a mod would character assassinate that badly but i'm used to that with the culture war these days and people in general.
No character assassination involved. I checked the link, which was to a 2 hour long video entitled 'No One Likes a Girl Boss', considered the fact that the grown woman and the two girls that I live with very much
do like a girl boss (as do I), and decided the video was unlikely to contain any useful information worth wasting that much time on.
And yes, I've seen various articles claiming that research supports the idea that people don't want women as movie or game leads as much as they say they do, in direct contradiction of the movie and game properties over the last several decades that have been massive while featuring a female lead, and can't help thinking that said studies are not capturing the whole picture in a society where a disproportionate number of decisions on what to watch or play are made by men. I strongly suspect that the research will look very different in another decade or so, when the generation of kids growing up now with more diverse representation are old enough to make their own viewing choices.

FPS games and cartoony graphics in games like Fortnite or the Fortnite/PUBG style battle royale games. .
I love
FPS games. But after checking it out a few years back, decided Fortnite was very much not my jam. The building just annoyed the hell out of me. It's a cool concept, but the ability to throw up structures almost instantaneously in the middle of a firefight is just ... no.
Although on the
FPS front, I also
really dislike games allowing you to jump around like a demented jackrabbit while actively shooting. There needs to be a massive hit to your accuracy while jumping, and there should be some sort of stamina level that puts a limit on how many times in a row you can jump six feet in the air while running about.
Although Destiny gets a pass on that front by turning the jumping into falling with style.
