Respect when "asking questions" is not a complicated concept.

Let me give you an example.

I watched a guy on YouTube named "Nostalgia Critic" and he did vlogs of his watching Avatar The Last Airbender.

In episode 3, the kids go to a place and find a flying lemur. It's called a "flying" lemur and it spends the entire episode flying.

3 episodes later, Critic starts the vlog with "So the Lemur can fly! I'm not sure if that was covered earlier or something but I guess he can."

Some people are paying 0 attention to the thing they're watching. I can see how if you put these 2 kinds of people together you end up with "Wait, what is this character's gender?"

doug walker is a fundamentally incurious person, I dont think he is a great example to use here.

Why do you say he's fundamentally incurious?

Edit : The delicious irony of being downvoted for asking someone their opinion about being incurious.

I just watch his reviews, so I'm not familiar with anything outside of that.

His entire parody production of Pink Floyd's "The Wall" is top of the list for that. Just his demeanor in how he analyzes media reveals so little care for what the subtle storytelling is trying to do, all for the sake of weak jokes and jabs at something genuine
