If they fear speaking up, then they need to grow a backbone as an adult. While there are some very vocal people who frown on criticisms of the game, most are adults that don't have a problem with opposing opinions.

No one should let those who are intolerant live rent free in their head.

Your response displays a complete lack of empathy. Not everyone is an alpha type that can withstand an angry mob of players ready to crucify anyone daring to criticize the game.

Zepla's video gave these people a voice and showed them they were not alone in how they felt about the game.

It's not a lack of empathy. I was them in the past.

Fortunately, I had someone that showed me that there was nothing to fear if I stood up for myself and my opinions. That we do have ways to deal with those who get enraged by those that express a dissenting opinion. That they aren't worth the headspace that could be used for better purposes than worrying about what a waste of human being is going to say.

I appreciated the blunt honestly. It might have been a difficult road at first but it was far better for me than those who would pat me on the head and sugarcoat things while doing nothing to support me in improving my circumstances.

No one should fear expressing their opinion whether popular or unpopular.

You may not feel this way or be aware of that, but that is the way your post came across.

In principle, I do agree with your statement, I think everyone should build the courage to stand up for themselves, voice their opinions, and have the resilience to do so in a potentially hostile environment that the mob mentality undoubtedly is. And in a perfect world, they would.

However, that is not the reality. It's against human nature to dive head-first into a conflict where you know upfront you will be outnumbered, outyelled, and likely personally attacked for having what you think is an unpopular opinion. So people don't. It's an unrealistic expectation for the general population to do so.
