Motherboard: RDR2 Players Are Excited to Attack and Kill Feminists in the Game [update: re-instated]
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
It is super weird. Apparently that I'm a criminal and cold killer is fine, it only becomes an issue if I kill a feminist or a KKK member?
The controversy and shit surrounding this game is so strange. I don't get it.
Oh wow, I remember seeing that video on YouTube and honestly being shocked. Shirrako, from what I've seen tends to not be very political. His videos are inoffensive and also quite popular because he doesn't talk over his playthroughs of games. Not sure what the hell he was thinking with this.
Having said that, banning his account for killing someone in a video game is a bit extreme. I see plenty of people spitting disgusting views and rhetoric in both YouTube videos and comments without any kind of reprimand. Crazy.
Edit: Forget that, those video titles are so inflammatory. He knew what he was doing. Shit.

Shirrakos channel is gone? Good. He was one of the worst for spoilery thumbnails and YouTube promoted his shit everywhere.
He can do what he wants inside red dead, it's his fault for making that title so hateful people can enjoy it. he didn't have to name it killing annoying feminist or what ever cause that way his spreading hate as evidence in the YouTube comment section you see them enjoying that his killing feminist. He could have just name that video beating random people and I bet 99% of people won't bat an eye but he just had to make a cash grab title now his channel is gone don't feel bad for him.

ban this guy please. sick of reading this crap on this forum.
If you want me to list reasons why people can get upset over political debates in the current climate you can keep waiting.
Finally, my recommended feed will be free of this dipshit. Listened to 1 Bloodborne track years ago and have had his videos recommended to me ever since, he spoiled quite a few games for me.
Yeah, I remember the interaction is fairly brief. She asks if you think women should be allowed to vote. Arthur says, "sure, if women want to waste time like everyone else voting, go for it." She calls him a fool. Then goes back to campaigning.
END
That is all that you can do with her and I dont remember once thinking she was annoying. If anything, I was upset that the game had Arthur have that be the positive choice because I agreed with her.
That's what bugged me about seeing Shirrako's first video on it in my recommends because I thought Rockstar were going to try "both sides"-ing feminism. Then, when I saw he'dcmade three more videos, all calling her "Annoying Feminist", I decided I dont want this guy in my recommends.
Oh, man. I remember this asshole now. He was the dickhead who kept posting God of War spoilers with clickbait screenshots of all the big moments. This is literally a "Nothing of value was lost" moment.
How can someone enjoy killing NPCs (even random, not enemies) in a game? I feel so bad even when i kill an animal in this game.
It's a game where you can literally kill everything that walks or crawls, I don't see your point.
The same people going "lol SJW" about this are probably butthurt that the game lets you murder KKK members without negative consequences
To all the people in this thread who are apparently offended by this (admittedly oddly written) post - consider that 74% of crimes committed in the US are committed by men including 89% of the murders committed and 99.1% of rapes committed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You sound like an horrible fuckin person, and you should definitely get banned. Doubt it will happen around here though.
Yeah, this shit is pathetic on all fronts. There's a myriad of real problems in the games industry to get angry over.
Good for youtube to end this mad man's channel.
I really can not comprehend any sane reason for men to feel this way towards women.

But he's using the game to promote violence against certain groups.
"She was just annoying"
You make a habit of feeding every single annoying NPC to alligators and uploading separate videos for them?
So fucking transparent. Can't even be honest after the banning. Fuck this guy.

OK, ignore the fact that this was done in RDR2 for a second. If he had modeled and animated the characters from scratch, he would still have made a bunch of videos glorifying killing suffragettes. Youtube isn't Newgrounds.
I only saw the video where he feeds her to an alligator after dragging her there with a rope, didn't know he had more videos of this, just based off that video I knew this guy has some fucked up views towards women. Any way good riddance, if one goes out of their way to make videos about killing feminists in a game then that is promoting violence, so his stupid argument about "you kill men all the time in RDR" is stupid.
And there's people defending this, probably share the same thoughts too.

Jesus fucking christ. The amount of people ITT who won't even read the fucking OP+article and just rush to post
"bUt iTS jUSt aN eN pEE cEe!11"
is disappointing. There's more to it but you're being ignorant of shit that's right in front of you.

He was banned for being a hateful dipshit about it. If he had uploaded those videos without those baity titles he would've been fine, but I guess that's the point.
Someone did some dumb shit in a videogame. That should not warrant someone's entire channel getting shut down.
I am sure he will find plenty of nazi suckers for his patreon now. These type of shitbags usually do.
I remember having to defend the protesting women. I thought it was cool Arthur seemed to be so accepting with them and others.
I always go out if my way to eliminate Klan and Confederate gang every chance I get. Even if I fail a mission.
I agree with the ban. You have to be responisble and conscious of what content you upload. Spreading /playing into hate or violence of innocent groups is not something that should be accepted.

It's like someone making several videos about killing prostitutes in a GTA game, or a bunch of videos where you keep killing the one gay character in a game in different ways. It's virtual violence, but it's still targeted and glorifies killing a specific group of people. At least, that's my interpretation.
Literally, just scroll up this page to see why he was banned.

I wish more gamers realized that the things they do in video games are contextualized narratively. Killing a character who is meant to represent the suffrage movement (which the game sets up as noble and the main character in support of) who faces adversity at the hands of male detractors is a different gesture than killing an NPC with no backstory or killing a villainous character like a Klan member or a rival gang member. This is a narrative-heavy game in particular where your behavior has meaning and is supposed to mean something to you.
The decisions you make have meaning. They reflect on Arthur as a character. They reflect on you as a player. Even if you pump games directly in to your brain hole without giving any thought to what it says or what you're doing, that doesn't stop other people from judging you based on the decisions you made and the behavior you exemplify.
You can try to distance yourself from your actions in video games all you want, but you were the person who decided to do that. I think it's realistic for people to give you grief over those decisions when morality is at play.
Because yes the game allows you to punch or wrangle or kill every NPC. But there are NPCs you're not supposed to want to do that too. The decision to do so is on you. That's your decision-making process at work. Just because you say your actions in a video game don't have any meaning to you doesn't mean your actions in a video game don't have meaning.

Sure, I see that.
Deleting someone's entire channel because of it though? No, that's ridiculous.
He made misogynistic fantasy videos about murdering feminists for the lulz
He's specifically made videos about killing feminists/women in the game (and just look at those video titles), I wonder why he isn't make elaborate videos about killing others? He is promoting violence under the guise of "it's just a game bro". Yeah RDR2's systems allow you to do things like tie a person to your horse and drag them, specifically seeking out feminists/women to torture/murder elaborately for videos with explicit titles about him acting out his incel rage is transparent a fuck - promoting violence.
The dude clearly has issues and his shit should have been removed.
But again the media swings and misses with an extremely overblown headline. It's the same shit Cecilia D'Anastasio was reporting on yesterday about that NPR story reporting games are turning kids into Nazis. It does nothing but play into the insane "parental fear-mongering as journalism" mantra that seems to be all the craze these days. https://kotaku.com/npr-is-very-worried-that-gaming-is-going-to-turn-kids-i-1830251817

Lmao at the people he tweeted.
Dude is a shit stain who posted trashed and got punished for it because YouTube displayed some spine for once. Good fucking riddance.

Why do you think banning a channel for promoting hate-crimes against women is beyond the pale?
