This video is completely valid and highly useful information.

It's weird that people online hate on characters for being arrogant and cocky (even when their arrogance is a clearly defined flaw that has genuine consequences in the story not played for cheap laughs), purely because those characters happen to be female (and particularly if they're tomboyish-looking or especially if they're visibly non-White), while such characters wouldn't get nearly as much hatred if they were White, more feminine-looking or if they were just male characters instead.

Also, most tsundere characters in anime/manga (and anime-style video games) somehow escape criticism, even when they're far more noxious and commit far more reprehensible acts than most "girlboss" characters in Western fictional media without facing any real repercussions for their actions, purely because they're cute-/attractive-looking, because they have that softer side to them, because people are weebs, because minority characters in anime/manga often don't visibly look like minority groups to Westerners the same way such characters do in Western works, and because tsundere characters' actions are often played for cheap laughs.

And yeah, the infamous anti-woke grifters online only help accentuate this problem with online society even further.

If I like girlboss characters, can I disregard this video?

Nah, you should still watch it anyway.
