You didn't watch the video did you?
Pop Culture Detective is a channel with videos that take months for him to painstakingly write and produce. They are not lazy cherry picked videos for clicks and likes. He is a very intelligent, thoughtful, thought provoking, detailed, kind, and well read man who cares a lot about the way we portray many toxic attitudes in video media, and in particular, toxic masculinity.
The writing of BBT is far more lazy and unintelligent than the videos made by Pop Culture Detective. He cares about context, and he cares about accuracy.
Did you watch the entirety of BBT?
I'll watch your video after you've watch BBT an analyzed it yourself. Otherwise what's the point of discussing anything with you rather than whoever made the video you linked?
I haven't watched the entirely of BBT, but I've seen enough episodes to know the thesis of the video that you're repeating (without doing any verification yourself) is false.
Are you paid by the person that made the video? Why do you feel the need to defend something that's discussing something you're unfamiliar with? We aren't talking about some arcane secret scrolls that are locked away under guard that only a few are allowed to view. It's a popular TV show that you could watch yourself to check whether the video is correct. Why won't you do this? Why do you trust a random youtube video that has a profit motive in promoting a false narrative over people that have actually looked at the source material under discussion?
Because it's harmful. The whole question is whether you should watch it, and the answer seems to be no. Why would I dedicate tens of hours of my life just to be able to say with complete confidence that you shouldn't watch it? I'm okay only dedicating half an hour for medium confidence that you shouldn't watch it, or at least you should be careful about it's misogynistic messaging.
Why the fuck would I spend like a hundred hours to a show that I already know is objectively bad? I'm gonna actually die one day, I'm not wasting my life on a shitty show I already know I don't like based off the two episodes I have seen because someone on the internet is butthurt that people are pointing out their fav show is misogynistic, homophobic, and shitty.
You want to know who watched it in it's entirety though? Pop culture detective, 3 times.
