From reading their reaction online, the author is certainly not concerned with some people feeling hurt by the example video. Rather amused, it seems to me in fact.

Another concern for him is the controversy it generates.

When hiring for a job or a project, managers are going to search for Sam Lavigne and see this. Although depending on the business and project, that might be good or bad.

I am sure the author wanted to make a specific demographic uncomfortable. If someone feels uncomfortable, maybe they could use different tools.

Or do a bit more thinking about why they're uncomfortable.

The ability to introspect is something they still need to master.
