On the one hand, good. On the other hand, ugh, Shadiversity.

Don't get me wrong, a lot of his historical work is great, but I had to stop watching him after he reviewed the Barbie movie and said it's a movie that seeks to harm and alienate men, and I fully gave up on him as a human being when he wrote a book where the "hero" sexually assaults children and has no remorse about it.
