After a lot of soul searching, I decided to be the asshole this time. YouTube film community has such a big rage bait problem, it's only fair and necessary to say something.

Anyway, once again please do not harass anyone you think this video applies to. The criticism applies to everyone to a degree, including to myself. Know that no one is perfect. Use these tips as a way to improve your writing.

Thank you all for the support!

Nailed it, and taking the approach of highlighting examples of critique done well was exactly the right course. Making it aspirational. (Besides, naming all the dudes whose entire schtick is "girl heroes bad" would have taken your entire runtime... and then three or four more videos' worth of runtime on top of that.)
