I believe those suggestions were offered as critiques based on prior experience with Fro's work (and worldview as expressed in his art). I don't think they were demanding any changes, just pointing out that the impression of 'where he's coming from' in the video was different than they had previously experienced in his other posts. Why jump to the worst possible conclusion first? Of course I could be completely wrong but I give folks the benefit of the doubt first.
