I would disagree as to it being a pointless thing to criticise, but I do admit that the response I gave in expressing my opinion was a little excessive. I just thought the opinion would be more universally accepted which is why I wasn't afraid to go a bit off the rails with it. :B

I don't intend to as I know literally nothing about this "GamerGate" thing, whatever it is/was, but I still intend to look up a couple things all the same just so I don't screw up my forward in the revised video.

My audience for ADG is 98% men, so... probably. :P

I almost didn't and spent nearly a half hour debating the decision while dealing with comments. I ultimately made my decision based on a simple factor: If I left the video up, it would be there FOREVER. Since 95% of the rest of the video was fine, and because I felt I could express the same opinion in a more calm and collected way without the rage, especially after I do some research on some of the things people we're bringing up which I had no clue about, I'd rather do that and have a thoughtful response on such a sensitive topic, rather than a sensational one, thus why I took the video down.

Unlike mrau, I totally understand what you mean by this. :B
