By this point it becomes obvious that this guy knows fucking nothing about languages, be it conlangs or natural languages. Without any logic, the "universality" argument is used when referencing the grammar, ignoring the fact that when esperanto was created, most of the countries with "most commonly spoken languages" were barely known (plus, they are not commonly spoken because
they are universal, they simply have a large number of people speaking them, meaning creating a conlang that pleases everyone is impossible). But then, when adressing the male-female distinction, he completely ignores the aforementioned universality or that most universally spoken (especially european) languages work like this. Striving to achieve nothing seems to be the primary motivator here, hence why toki pona (aka the baby lang) is his favorite. What a joke.
