Armchair Historian got over 1,000,000 views so far for this "Vietnamese Perspective" of the Vietnam War. But is it really true to the Vietnamese perspective?...
Ok, sure. But if you don't like people telling you how to run your channel, as he evidently seems to be very upset about, just tell them to go pound sand. Like having a non-eurocentric take every so often is great and all, but if this is the result, you don't get to shift the blame onto the whiny viewers for the quality of the content.
Youtube has plenty of non-European channels one can access for a more direct and nuanced take on history outside of the West, like Luna is very clearly doing. You've got Yugopnik, Hakim, and many others. If you need someone that doesn't belong to the Core to give a good historical take, those channels are available. What comrades in the core should do, is elevate those voices by pointing to them and saying, "don't take it from me or this other western dipshit, these folks here know better than either of us possibly could".
