I don't believe that part personally, it was a joke mentioned by Kojima that not everyone has recognised as a joke.

But he raises good points to counter their arguments. Like honestly, what a stupid idea to think that Punished Snake's eyepatch is a goddamn binocular?

I've seen the counter-analysis video and it just doesn't seem likely still. We clearly see BB in the hospital with a prosthetic limb and a bulge in his bandage, indicating that the debris is embedded there. If Gray Fox is Ishmael, why does he show up later as Snake with a prosthetic and the debris in his head? It doesn't seem likely he would just cut off his own arm and imbed debris in his head.

While on the topic of the eyepatch also, Yong clearly points out that underneath the eyepatch is literally nothing, just a gap between Snake's eyehole and the patch. Now we know MSF develops futuristic weaponry in Peace Walker, but honestly I don't consider most of that canon, it was just a fun feature Kojima included for players to be able to make railguns and stealth camo and what not. And just because Snake has that digital map thing, doesn't mean the possibilty of hiding a binocular system similar to the Solid Eye in that tiny eyepatch is possible. The three-strap thing is just ridiculous; there's no way it has anything to do with meaning it's a binocular. Yong pointed out that Snake probably needed another strap on his eyepatch to secure it tighter. Imagine if the eyepatch was loose and when the sandstorm started, it got sand underneath and in his eyehole. I can imagine that would be extremely painful.

And the ponytail. Apparently, since Big Boss never wore his hair that way, it makes it entirely impossible for Big Boss to ever wear his hair like that? That's just idiotic. Gray Fox's hair is always depicted as short, so he's never seen wearing his hair like that. Again, Yong makes a good point that Snake likely put his hair up because it was hot in Afghanistan.

And above all, why on Earth would BB need someone else to fill in for him? He is entirely capable, in fact I would say he is more capable than Gray Fox, of carrying out the mission. And he's already started fighting Cipher. By using Fox as a body double, he would just be risking Gray Fox's life in place of his own, and BB is not a coward. He would carry it out himself.

The guys raised some good points but when they made that counter-video, they just appeared to be little bitches, claiming they were "true analysts" and YongYea was just ignorant.

I'm sorry, but this theory is improbable.
