Oh wow, I didn't realize that Shirrako was a shithead. Had watched his FromSoft videos many times.
Enjoy your YT ban. You earned it.

Sorry, but it's ok to be mad at people blaming you for shit you didnt do. I wouldn't begrudge anyone that.Why act this bothered by it? This forum doesn't impact jackshit, and never will, so why do you care about it? It's like you secretly think it's okay to be an asshole.
I'm male, white, and I don't care if someone says "White men are the worst,", I don't see me there, and it can be funny. Unless you're guilty of something, there's no reason to be this upset haha.
Can't agree with this at all. Him posting it on YouTube with that title shows his agenda. The actual act in the game means nothing because it's not real.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.
It's a game where you can literally kill everything that walks or crawls, I don't see your point.
Attracting the attention of the law in a Rockstar game is not necessarily a downside. Fighting off the law is a fun part of the gameplay, so killing a feminist NPC results in making the game more fun at certain times. Playing the role of a 'rough and tough' cowboy is attractive to many people too, many will play RDR2 to kill and rob indiscreetly and some indiscriminately as well. Sure you could argue the moral implications based on the game mechanics, but as explained those implications in actual gameplay range from a minor annoyance to entertaining.Generally I would agree, but the character is pretty accurate to suffragists of the time. The only way they could get their voice heard was by shouting loud enough. If you kill her you get a rather large amount of negative honor, your wanted level is put at maximum and you gain a pretty significant bounty. So sure, you could kill her, but the downsides of doing so are pretty major.
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

While playing this game, Ive actually done the opposite of what I would do just to see how it plays out. All it says about me is I was curious about the result.
Shirrakos channel is gone? Good. He was one of the worst for spoilery thumbnails and YouTube promoted his shit everywhere.
I'm surprised many people here don't understand that he got banned because he was promoting misoginy and hatred against women.
He deserves that ban. Well done YouTube.
How hard is it to read an OP? Genuinely how hard is it?
First of all no you can't, there are several npcs where the game automatically restarts if you attempt to kill them. Second of all learn to read an OP.It's a game where you can literally kill everything that walks or crawls, I don't see your point.
Huh, I kind of expect better of Kotaku than that.That article calls NPR elitist media and basically is the writing equivalent of putting your head in the sand, we literally know gaming is a recruiting tool, literally some of the main alt-right figures emerged from gamergate
Pewdie is literally introducing children to Ben fucking Shapiro.
Why should we be tolerant with the intolerant? Fuck off with that noise.Sure, I see that.
Deleting someone's entire channel because of it though? No, that's ridiculous.
What makes you think they don't understand?I'm surprised many people here don't understand that he got banned because he was promoting misoginy and hatred against women.

Context, its specifically targeting a npc because of what they represent and fostering feelings of aggression towards them because of their ideology that can be taken into the real world. It serves no other purpose, if you want to do that on your own time, whatever, Youtube shouldnt be complicit in the proliferation of that and they did the right thing by banning them
Sure, I see that.

lmfao people really mad at me for acknowledging the fact that men are so fucked up. We benefit from generations of power + control and we have little fucking incels and meninists running around? And somehow, I'm supposed to be banned for simply stating men are trash? Why do other dudes get so offended by the fact that we ain't shit? Men get away with so much foul shit simply because we are dudes. Saying men are trash isn't offensive, it's truth.
For context, Shirrako had around 500k subs. Here's how he decided to respond once his channel was terminated.
Why should we be tolerant with the intolerant? Fuck off with that noise.
How is this allowed?
The post was trash and males from US does not represent an entire species.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)_/¯
Will be funny if Jim makes a video about this calling him an idiot.

You could also punch women in RDR1, but there's a clear difference in intent between punching random NPCs and specifically targeting certain NPCs because you're a horrible person. Cry me a river, Shirrako.
Really now? This is some race realism-tier stuff. Let's just not make generalizations like these.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)_/¯
use video blocker chrome extensionFinally, 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.
One hyperbolic post and now the thread is basically all #notallmen. So surprising. Some of you so badly want to say "you fucking SJW's!" lol
Yeah bro not all men right? This post is super cringy. Guess he hit a nerve, I wonder why.You made an inflammatory post. Most men are not trash. Saying so just makes you seem like some girl who got out of a bad relationship and swears all men are just like their shitty boyfriend. Men are a diverse bunch. It's an ignorant and inflammatory post that seems to reflect some self loathing.
