To be honest, I kind of forget what the video was really about, but I definitely should have read the meme before judging it like I did (though of course, I disagree with the imagery used). Recommending others to steer clear of the channel because of that racist depiction was an instinctive reaction from me (I personally do not feel comfortable with the channel because of that, but others might be able to look past that).

    I understand your reaction. As i said, i deeply dislike that they used that image. But it is one brief moment in an otherwise good video. I think that you should give the channel another chance and hear out a few more of their videos so that you can form a more complete opinion. If you still feel iffy about them then it's absolutely your prerogative to say that you are uncomfortable with them as a source. But i think that they at least deserve a fair chance.

    Got it. I think my reaction just comes from me seeing a weird amount of racist stuff (I swear I was not trying to look for them) in pieces of media that I randomly come across (and I am just a sensitive person in general to many things people find normal).
