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". 

Oh yeah, sorry just seen you mentioned me here was just going to say the topic at hand is a fairly odd one, I was interested to see what direction the video was going to go in but I don't think I have seen any other videos by that creator before, I just don't like that style of video, I'm sure the way youtube is now the core elements of his video will appear in another (20) video (s) by content creators that I find more watchable.

On topic though since I didn't mention my feelings in my first post in here, I think that the Waifu market possibly had a lot to do with it, if the characters looked less anthropomorphic then the fandom would have been more limited, I think marketing definitely had a larger part to play in the addition of breasts than the species of Squid which the characters are representing.

The answer to why they have breasts is likely the same as why they wear leather... or half a pants :o
