the personality of the creator also made me want to hammer nails into my eyes and ears... Had to turn it off after the 2 minute mark, too painful to watch.

Because that's how the developers wanted them to look, the end. I believe this is also the guy who claimed Pokemon Gen 7 would be the last gen or some such nonsense.

Calling the work of a content creator that you have no personal stake in bad makes me a dick?

I mean I thought his take was interesting. I thought it was going to be one of those videos that really reach for an answer where there isn't really one, and yet he actually came up with a pretty decent game theory. I get why some people don't care, but a lot of people on the internet find it fun to speculate about the lore of video games. Splatoon's lore is surprisingly deep but also a little half-assed, probably because Nintendo refuses to take lore seriously, even in series where large portions of the fans demand it like the Zelda fanbase. And he was right that Pokemon was doing a reboot, it was just more of a soft reboot than a hard one. I for one think it would have been awesome if Pokemon had done a proper reboot, and given that Let's Go tells the Gen 1 story over again but different, it's not too late for the next mainline games to be a reboot of sorts. We'll see what they do. Let's just hope they don't include too much from the Let's Go games like the removal of wild Pokemon battles or dumbing down of the mechanics.

I think he's mad because he wanted to have a fun discussion with people who found the video interesting, and you went a little beyond showing disinterest and said it in a way that felt like you were just taking a dump on everyone's fun.

"Pfft we all know the REAL reason.....

To fuel the Rule 34 train"

Sounds about right, this is clearly what the creators wanted to see.

Self awareness is not one of your strong suits, huh? 

Probably, that's not really an excuse though. Others seem to agree as well. I assumed the OP wouldn't care since this site isn't really an echo chamber, it allows for a lot of opinions and such. It's obvious I meant no offense, and he shouldn't have taken issue with the comment anyways. 

I mean Ganon thought the creator was obnoxious, but that's not the same as being vitriolic about the very idea of discussing lore or "game theories". You didn't just insult the creator, you insulted everyone who finds his work interesting or worthwhile by calling it a stupid and declaring that "no one" asked it or wanted it. Here's an alternate way you could have phrased it that would get your disdain across without being antagonistic.

"Questions like these are just so pointless. Why do people feel the need to waste time trying to find an in-universe explanation for simple aesthetic design choices that the creators probably made thoughtlessly?"

Equally skeptical of the point of the discussion, still essentially the same opinion, would probably be equally depressing to anyone who wanted to have a serious discussion about the topic, but no one could really argue that it was rude. Other people agree with you, but they weren't rude about it. Even Ganon kept it to the personality of the creator, and could legitimately claim your earlier argument that it was just about a "content creator you have no personal stake in". 

Yeah, no I didn't. The topic creator is known for overreacting, it's his main characteristic (I mean his sig literally explains it). Trying to jump to the defense that I was greatly insulting the fanbase is just silly, honestly, because I wasn't. I don't care if someone finds something rude that wasn't intended to be rude unless I can genuinely understand and sympathize with the perspective. I can't in this scenario, ideally nobody should be offended over such a trivial comment, so I don't really care. 

By the way, Gnoggin does the same thing on Twitter: 

Man, remember when matpats videos were all or mostly original? Seems like there hasn't been a single original idea from Film Theory yet... https://t.co/m0W8GpUqIk

I was just really surprised that he managed to tie in squid biology, the lore, AND actual evidence that the philosophy of the game's designers actually favored females. I'm still skeptical that the creators truly wanted to make females canonically stronger, but the way they designed the game and the lore, based on his points here, makes a pretty good case that that's exactly what they effectively did. Most of his "Is there an actual reason for a non-human character to have breasts?" videos don't amount to much in my opinion, but this one actually had a strong argument to make because it had evidence that the connection between the biology and lore was at least somewhat purposeful by the game designers.
