She doesn't have to claim her videos are realistic for some people to misunderstand them as such. And honestly, it doesn't really matter; farming simulator games, for example, are very explicitly fake, and they still get criticized for romanticizing farming and small-town life. Because they do, and so do her videos. Like her video about wool is pretty mountains and quick shots of old-fashioned crafting and conspicuously placed cute baby sheep. It's not about the difficult work of raising animals or the enormous amount of time it takes to make all your clothes from scratch any more than Harvest Moon is going to have you experience total crop failure due to weather or make it hard for your character to fit into town as the newcomer.

And I don't think it's a bad thing to have these fantasies about living in the country and doing pretty crafts and raising your own food! It's normal to wish you had a different, ideal life, and people romanticize city living, too. But you can see why people who do have to live on farming margins, deal with the many hard and dirty jobs that get left out of pastoral fantasies, and have experienced the downsides of living in a small town might get miffed about seeing them over and over.

DA well, yeah, but that's a genre-wide problem.
