Crash Course (web video)/YMMV
- Fan Dumb: John goes out of his way to point out how historical bias and Eurocentrism has altered how many people view history and therefore other cultures, with episodes dedicated to cultures and eras that have either been ignored or misunderstood mostly because they didn't affect Europe. Many fans have appreciated learning about these new peoples ... except for the few who think that the show is 'anti-European' and 'unfair' and 'always criticizes Europe'. Because trying to counter centuries of historical bias with some friendly ribbing is just being mean.
- Crashcourse has also covered world religions, but only in a factual historical context that examines that religion's affect on culture and history, not if that religion is actually true or not (as John says, this is history, not theology). Still doesn't stop endless youtube comments fighting over religion.
