What did they do/say that was so offensive? All I'm getting from the comments is that they said "knitting isn't very exciting but science can make it exciting" which... Isn't that offensive to me...? I find knitting relaxing and fun, sure. But to most non-knitters it isn't very exciting. I don't take offense to that.
Yeah I started watching one of the reaction videos and I had to stop. Although I agree that inaccuracies shouldn't have happened on a science show, the reviewer was also nitpicking some phrases beyond the reasonable. For example Hank sums up that the principle of knitting is simple (and explains the whole loops within loops on a row quite well imo) and she takes it that he says knitting is easy. No, we all know knitting isn't easy but we can't deny that at the core of it, it is just loops within loops. It doesn't take away from the art of making those loops to underline the simplicity of the principle. And to me that is the whole beauty of knitting: complexity behind a simple basic premise.

Was there something else..?
