Asside from her good research, one of the coolest part of her videos is that she does actually touch on how these stereotypes affect expectations of men. For example in her video game series about the damsel in distress, she briefly discusses how violent revenge story male stereotypes can affect real men by narrowing the expectations of acceptable reactions for men when encountering death or tradgedy. I really appreciated hearing that extra bit of analysis. It helped me understand how misrepresentation affects us all.
The Chinese would know that an inferior navy overcoming a superior navy in deterioration works. It happened to them in the years after the Ming dynasty. They used to have a navy more massive than any in the world. Ultimately corruption in the government and fear of northern (land) invaders, lead them to let their navy deteriorate. The (comparatively) piddly European ships largely were able to sail in with their demands unchallenged.
