Nice cherry you picked there. If you would leave a meaningful comment, I would be happy to talk.

I stand by my words. Her videos are full of lies. They are on a Columbine or Jack Thomson level of "objectivity". Someone please prove me wrong about Hitman otherwise.

I watched her video that featured Hitman Absolution as well and I don't recall her saying "this is integral" to the game. It was one of many examples.

Also, to me that sounds like cherry picking -- out of literally dozens of games you are focusing on one example.

And that specific example is from a game that caused outrage before it was even released for their "sexy latex nun" trailer:

I don't know much about her videos but her description of Hitman left with a bad impression of her work.

It's objectively wrong. Wouldn't it be great if she just corrected it so as to not give her detractors more things to work with?

> If her videos were well researched and fair, maybe there would have never such a shitstorm.

This isn't about her videos. It is about the shitstorm (death threats!) you say is somehow partially her fault. Coming from the same person who said she was "bathing in the outrage". This is beyond criticism of her work, this is an attack.
