I guess it depends, where I work that's all I see...
Appart from the fact that they are not in fact roddents, both the german and norwegian names already make more sense than french. We call them "chauve-souris", so literally "bald mice".
I think that people like to imagine this opposite dangerous "extreme" to validate that they can have the right to hold their problematic values. But that other extreme is basically a boogeyman. I hear from frienda and family on every subject "oh but we should be careful to not go too far in the other extreme". As if it was a real threat. Not only because we are so closer to right wing extremism at the moment but also because how can caring about other people can be "too extreme".
I understand your point because often in a lot of hobbies, when you are a newbie, people can be very condescending to you. But I still think that it's abnormal the number of people that know nothing about cooking, since, contrary to most hobbies, it is essential for us to eat.
However I think that the real problem is that most people are so overworked and we have so much responsabilities, that it is almost a luxury to take the time to cook in our society. I am pretty sure there would be wayyy more people enjoying cooking if they could take their time doing it.

As you said, the guy has great concept ideas, but he doesn't know how to build on them. So many endings are so stupid and far fetched it would be comical if it were a Jojo's Bizarre Adventure episode...
Sorry for the bad news... still the meme was pretty funny.
I love that MIA song, but it is bittersweet listening to it now that she went full on reborn christian conspirationist MAGA...

There is a nuance between knowing that no revolution was made without arms and "loving guns"... If I ever have to use one, I know I won't love it.
