I'm just saying to believe you you need to provide evidence. I'm much less likely to believe a relatively low effort comment than a well produced video essay.

I did question the content of the video. I hadn't seen much the channel, so I was skeptical. But the examples they gave were convincing, the comments reaffirmed what was being said, and it lined up with what I remembered about the show. There are certainly sensational YouTube channels with click bate that thrive on controversy. But the tone of this channel seemed very different from those, very academic and professional.

Do you think I should just give the show the benefit of the doubt because it's on TV rather than YouTube? I don't.

    Why do you give youtube the benefit of the doubt? You believe youtube to be a reliable source of information?

    BBT is a popular TV show, I'm certain you are capable of finding it on a streaming service somewhere. If not there is the possibility of pirating it. You are capable of watching the show yourself to verify the claims coming from youtube. Or you could trust people who have seen enough episodes that tell you the youtbue video is false.

    Or you can go on being a "I did my own research on youtube" type of person. I'm not your mom, do what you want to do.

    I gave neither the benefit of the doubt. The argument won me over with convincing evidence from the show. I have absolutely no interest in watching sitcoms, especially probably one of the worst.

    Also, you admitted the first season was misogynistic. Even if the latter ones weren't as much, or even at all, wouldn't the warning against the show still be valid?
