Randbot played a video from one of the devs that worked on Fallout New Vegas (who was a literal homosexual) who complained that people in the gaming industry today are too risk averse and fragile. Cowboy summed it up well "guy that destroyed the old world upset at the state of the new world."
The team that made halo was comprised of mostly White nerds and dudebros, and a handful of Japanese guys. They weren't exactly the picture of masculinity but they weren't effete homosexuals either. In OP's video, the emasculated mystery-meat hapa that speaks in uptalk is a completely different animal from the creators of gold-tier vidya twenty years ago. Demographics are everything
