Youtuber Shirrako's account allegedly banned for killing a feminist NPC in RDR2 - Sensationalist Headlines

Well I can't begin to imagine why people don't feel especially defensive of the KKK. Gee golly.

Oh boy its worse than imagined...

If he posted a video on YouTube titled "Burning the KKK" then I can't imagine anyone would give a fuck because the KKK were scum, do the same for feminists though, why exactly? Oh right, to stir shit because you KNOW you're going to get a reaction out of people by killing feminists.

Yeah exactly, it was to get views. And apparently he did do a video where he killed some KKK members. Though I've never heard of the guy before so I can't confirm it.

Fucked up that anyone gives enough of a shit, it's videogame people not real people. When I was originally linked the video I just said "haha how stupid" and clicked off like a normal human being. Same thing with that one watch dogs video of a dude going around murdering anyone former criminal or etc. Fucked up idea? Yeah I guess. Worth any more thought than a scoff and walking away? Not really, no.

I'd probably find it amusing, but it's clearly meant to cause controversy and it's done just that.

So since this was disproven over an hour ago, can we maybe stop circlejerking the rageboners now?

Extra salty about this since his account had all the dark souls and bloodborne soundtracks.

If you make a video with a title like that it says a lot about what kind of person you are. In this case, pretty much every anti-feminist youtuber is a shithead , so if he puts out videos with anti-feminist content, videogame or not, he's probably also just as much of a shitty person.

The first video was pretty funny, but the joke got old really fast. Regardless, he doesn't deserve to have his channel banned for playing a video game the "wrong way"

FUCK IT HAD TOM H@CK FROM GRAN TURISMO 6 GOD FUCKING DAMN

Man now where am I going to get my dark souls and bloodborne soundtracks?

Maybe I'm a bit biased against this edgy "FEMINAZIS ARE CANCER" mentality but I really don't think that Youtube would ban a guy's channel ENTIRELY because of these videos, as obnoxious as they are.

Much like those people who made and burned that effigy of the Grenfell Tower, you have to wonder what’s going on in their heads even though it’s not real. Like, it’s pretty weird.

This is still up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3D46lxmODY

I feel like this is the third time this week someone on this forum has regurgitated this saying with not the slightest clue what it's supposed to mean.

Oh wow he killed a feminist in a video game and they banned him, better show them that one watch dogs video. You know the one I'm talking about.

Vid's unavailable in my country. I wonder what kind of content it has hmmmmm

eh, most of his music uploads were kinda low quality and a lot of his dark souls vids were missing second phases you can easily find better if its music you're after

Or maybe not everyone is an overly-political shithead and to him it's just not a video where, by uploading, he is being the wild horse punching back against the concept of feminism in his anti-feminist youtube account, but rather that's just you projecting your overly-romaticized interpretation of it onto him

But the thing is I doubt anyone cared that you posted that swastika

Why does it have to be literal? Why can't it just be dumb worthless shit posting that shouldn't be truly taken seriously?

Not to be the "slippery slope" guy, but if Youtube is enforcing moral values upon videos (because "this is offensive" is a moral call, don't pretend otherwise) I wouldn't want to be on Youtube as a creator. If people are OK with this sort of content being banned just because they disapprove of it, what's not to say that people will be disapproving of violence next? Or blood? Or dark humour in general? The criteria for "this is offensive" is too broad and undefined (specially at a global scale, in which youtube operates) to be used as a general rule, and while I think most people would agree that would be fair, I think some people in this thread are aggressively ignoring that because they happen to dislike the content itself. It's all too transparent though, the towering boxforts being built on the last page kinda serve as a testament of their hypocrisy.

"Without any shred of irony"? What more "irony" do you need in videos where you just kill the same NPC in different ways in a video game? I could make 5 GTA V videos where I spawn a bunch of jews and get them run over by a train and say it's the "train to Auschwitz ja, choo choo!" or dropping bomb from planes or whatever and it'd still just be shitposting There are videos that should be taken down for promoting hate speech, killing NPCs in video games do not enter that category. Ever.

KKK members and feminists are not comparable. One is a terrorist group and the other group campaigns for social justice. Not that I agree with youtube's decision but there's no comparison between these two groups

That was not his point and you know it.

Unless he actually directly advocates for doing this IRL, how is this any better or worse than posting in the OIFY https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/716/236ea046-b996-4930-8099-c10cafcb64f7/image.png https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/716/f0e361e6-9b31-4f11-8c0e-7afcdee96173/image.png https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/716/bd735569-958c-4b2b-ac3e-fdfe29718eda/image.png https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/716/98d65d8f-a14f-4c29-b1c3-ae0d0111f8dd/image.png

I feel like an old man out of touch here. Do people really care what other people do in video games? Do people really think that there's an issue with killing the feminists in RDR2? Because, like, to me there's literally no difference between what people are complaining about here, and killing prostitutes after using their services in GTA. Its tasteless, dark edgy humour and...that's the point. The only difference to me is that you get to laugh at people who see women rights activism in history and call it "annoying feminism." They're being childish and uninformed about history, isn't it enough to laugh at that? Do we have to assume he's got some serious obsessive problem because he finds entertainment in something we all basically do ourselves? Dude makes money off YouTube, yknow. He's not exactly encouraged to play the game as bog standard as you can.

I generally don't bat an eye at killing NPCs in video games but posting four videos about hurting a single one campaigning for women's suffrage is suspicious, to say the least. Nothing he could ever say on the matter will clean his hands of it, he firmly sits between exploiting anti-feminist hysteria and outing himself as a misogynist. Though I do wish YouTube would do more against all the legit propaganda channels they host and not completely ignore them while jumping at the chance to ban some edgy video game uploader.
