I wish I remembered the youtuber but it reminds me of his video about the "outrage" to the one doom sequel and it turns out all the outrage was one person with like 5 retweets mildly annoyed with something. It's what these outrage farmers do they just manufacture wholescale controversies real people don't give a shit about to sell bluechew advertisements.
Pretty sure that was Shaun. The thesis of his video IIRC was that, in the absence of evidence of people getting mad about video games, the post-gamergaters have simply invented a load of people in their heads.
Yup, beat me to it:
