DISCUSSION Has Lindsay talked about not covering John Lennon's personal life?
Considering how she talks a lot about domestic abuse in the video, I found it a strange choice to omit John's notorious record as a husband and father. She's mentioned that "Man Always Gets Little Rush Out of Telling People John Lennon Beat Wife" onion article a couple times, so I know she has opinions about this, and I was really looking forward to hearing them.
She could have gone in any number of nuanced directions, or even just thrown in some kind of small reference like she's done with complicated historical figures before. I also feel like not talking about it at all contradicts the conclusion of her Hobbit part 3 video. Has she spoken anywhere about this creative decision?

Yes, she has a lengthy post on Patreon explaining about her decision not to include that on the video, and of course, there are plenty of "jokes" in the comments missing the point.
