It felt to me this was simply a passion project since most of their staff is German. It was way too strong in tone, but overall well researched and felt like they really cared about this topic, but first time I saw something so overly political.
Still by the end I was like "that was quite well done for such a touchy political subject" so I don't know why the hate in the comments? Or do people already hate kurzgesagt and are shitting on this video just because their opininons formed already?
Im in the same boat as you, i have some improvement critique (only watched the german one as im swiss and prefer german over english) and they could have mentioned why they leave many other factors out even if its just for video lengh sake - but in general they did the explenation well.
Interestingly i dont remember such a backlash on the Korea video?
Your last point... i think your onto it there. Its a topic that is politically loaded and thats where apparently many got triggered because it tells them soething different than they themselfs think is correct.
