Every time I see this video I get angrier and angrier. Oh yeah, and there's a sequel that I shall not track down because of how infuriating it is.

The sound of futility is getting louder and louder... No one cares, hun. If feathered dinosaurs are stupid, then by that logic, so are lions and bears and every other fluffy predator.

I just watched it, and... "When I was a kid, dinosaurs were still cool." (They still are...?) "It's horrible how facts are ruining drama." (You don't have to be factually accurate at all... See exhibit A, the Jurassic Park movies.) "Any dino monster-movie now would be a comedy, and that is sad!" (Give the dinosaurs the intelligence of a crow. That would be terrifying.)
This is so unscientific and awful. She says being eaten by a T-Rex "that looks like a giant macaw" (which they obviously do not look like) is "a ridiculous way to die" despite praising terror birds the moment before...

(Give the dinosaurs the intelligence of a crow. That would be terrifying.) NOT TO DERAIL BUT in my fanfiction I may or may not have an accurate Velociraptor named Blue and the only way she's not accurate is that she has the intelligence of a raven (for "we couldn't figure out how to do the thing" reasons not "let's just make her smart for the lolz" reasons) and she's fucking terrifying okay
like
SPOILER ALERT
she knows who is the enemy and who's not and so she at one point just fucking leaps through the air from a staircase and rips apart Umbridge's face and honestly it's one of my favorite things I've ever written
TL;DR feathers do NOT make her less scary. She's just now a very fluffy ball of terror and death.

I feel like selectively breeding cassowaries as war beasts for this type of person.

See, this kind of ad hominem subjective argument containing loopholes is generally only used by someone who is very, very wrong. Like the one letter complaining about climate scientists as activists I once read. This all kind of reminds me over what went down with squigglesquo, honestly.

Oh squigglesquo. How much do I not miss you?
Infinitely. Infinitely much.

That video was seriously painful to watch, like it made me almost physically sick. Pardon my language but who the fuck cares if dinosaurs don't look as ~cool~ as they did in Jurassic Park? They were feathered. It's a fact. Deal with it. Appreciate the creatures of the Jurassic Park franchise for what they were, dinosaurs spliced with frog DNA made to please an audience, but ma'am please keep your petty awesomebro opinions away from actual science.

I... I have no words. That was honestly very painful to watch, jfc! Honestly, pardon my language here for a minute, but who the hell cares if dinosaurs aren't as 'cool' as they were in Jurassic Park and back before we discovered dinos to have feathers? We know now that they have feathers, and it's all scientific fact! You can appreciate how the dinosaurs were in Jurassic Park and also appreciate how dinosaurs actually looked when they were alive! Just... keep your opinions away from actual, proven science, please, and just quit being all pissy about it! Dinosaurs are still cool, and they had feathers, deal with it.

Clearly a woman who has never accidentally strayed near a blue jay's nest and been attacked by the angry parents.

Science does not ruin things. Dinosaurs still existed, regardless if they had feathers (WHICH THEY DID THANKS MUCH) or not. Pluto continues to exist, regardless of its planetary status. People such as this woman have no idea how science actually works. Ah, but that's a rant for another time.

And birds don't mess around when they attack either, just like dinosaurs most likely would have. I imagine this lady has never been pecked and attacked by a chicken either.
