Motherboard: RDR2 Players Are Excited to Attack and Kill Feminists in the Game [update: re-instated]

It's ridiculous. So one sided, I thought we moved away from that shit.
A controversy about multiple videos showing the gruesome deaths of feminists, titled to let potential viewers know that they can view said gruesome deaths of feminists, is dumb. But a post or two criticizing men qualifies as awful.
I use that but he'd still pop up in google results for basic questions and main page recommendations.
What's one sided? What do you want to move away from? What do you want to achieve?
Poor mens, it's hard for us out here. We mens gotta stick together.
I was waiting for this to make news. I have been seeing this guy's feminist videos in my recommended feed for a long time. The comments are truly disturbing.
I saw several of his videos in my recommended feed and wondered aloud how long it would take before his channel was terminated. Didn't take too long after all.
The subreddit for Rdr2 is (was) in a tizzy about it.

Ah yes, the common "I didn't read the OP and came here to defend to men" poster.
1) Learn to read before posting.
2) The term "sexism against men" is so fucking disingenuous that it makes me want to roll my eyeballs out of my skull. If you think one man calling men "trash" qualifies as "sexism", wait till you hear about the institutional sexism women face every fucking day of their lives. Get some goddamn empathy and have some modicum of self-awareness before going back to defend anime titty games from the scourge of "censorship".
I'm pretty sure he was the first on having The Old Hunters soundtrack on YouTube, I subscribed to his channel just for that but then found me clicking on his videos of other soundtracks and gameplays without commentary. It's sad that he's such a hateful person.
OP
OP
The mens hate is the real controversy, not the promotion of violence towards women from mens. This world is so messed up, will mens ever be safe? So sad.
lol
yes it is the men in here that are the victims of the sexism.
I really appreciate the lack of self-awareness on behalf of the people making these videos.
Reminds me of our good pal Herbert Moon

Hate to go against the grain here but... how does it violate YTs TOS? You can decapitate people in the game and blow their limbs off and slowly watch them bleed out and die? It's kind of hypocritical on YTs side TBH but I'm not defending this guy whatsoever. (He has multiple videos that go on for 10+ minutes of him just doing this) but YT can't be so one sided. This doesn't hurt anyone more than any other thing you can do in this game
I don't feel bad about this guy going away. Hated seeing his videos showing up on my recommended list.
On a slightly related note, I found an article about women's suffrage fighters teaching themselves martial arts to defend themselves against police and male attackers. Really cool read.

Word.
EDIT: I rather beat up this eugenics guy in Saint Denis, won't get a wanted level either from it.
It's funny to see how many people live for nothing more than to dive headfirst into the woodchipper
One of those things is cowboy fantasy and one is not that different than domestic or political violence done towards women every day just for trying to obtain rights.
Nice ad hominem. I'm probably the only one that actually read the article, and googled the offending video(its going viral now, good job Streisand effect). Now you and several other users are also dogpiling anyone who disagrees.
The video is ludicrously banal. He uses antagonize. The NPC quips back, so he punches her and gets a bounty. There are YT channels that are actually anti-feminist, and who (arguably) do more damage.
My 'awful sexism' against men comment is directly responding to the person posting made up statistics. Something that Era should not tolerate.
Don't quote me. Don't @ me. I'm not responding to the derail anymore.
Lets pretend the video was titled "Killing redneck southerners" and it was about indiscriminately murdering normal nonhostile NPCs around Rhodes and the other areas of Lemoyne. Would youtube have enacted the same punishment?
The ideology behind it. And the fact that it was, at least on the surface, saying to "kill feminists".
Falls under specifically targeting a group of people I'd guess. If it was just wanton killing and she happened to die it wouldn't be an issue.
Edit: Whelp, pardon the dogpile.
It's probably the fact that all of his video clips are intentionally targeting female NPCs that are feminists. That is the context here. I don't think anyone would give a damn if it's a random guy or a random girl dying on a train tracks, but he's specifically targeting a character that is fighting for feminism and killing them in numerous ways.
It is actually violating hate speech policy because it is actively promoting or ridiculing women's rights by humiliating a feminist NPC in numerous ways. While the person itself may have done it for laughs, the message it sends is harmful.
No one is saying that we cannot kill a female NPC at all. But when the entire message of the video is "How can we ridicule a feminist NPC in so many ways to piss off SJWs", it is bordering on hate speech.
You're condensing all the gratuitous violence in this game and amounting it all to just "cowboy fantasy". There's other ways to prove your point.
The problem was how it was targeted. It's not a good look and you can not really say it the same way. Now if it was "Killing redneck southerner men" and it was a women on stream I am sure a few eyebrows would be raised.
Dude has made a ton of videos about specifically killing/beating up feminists. He's fucking mental. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out shitbag.
Ever since I saw this thread pop up, I knew it'd devolve into a very specific conversation: Men are awful, men taking offense at the blanket statement, and then others complaining that men are taking offense.
This story is about one particular dirt bucket who uploaded multiple videos depicting violence against a female npc in RDR 2 and got banned from YouTube for it. I say, good. That YouTuber was a scumbag and the fact that he's surprised that YouTube acted the way he did is both horrible and hilarious at the same time. YouTube is a platform and they can do as they wish… he's entitled to nothing, and frankly, I believe he got what he deserved. Asking for help from Boogie2999 – who is actually looking into this now, it seems, so expect that guy to do another 'I'm going to toe the middle line' video – and Jim Sterling is… is just hilarious.
But of course – and it's sad that this even has to be said – the actions of that man does not reflect all men. For anyone to make that insinuation is ridiculous, the fact that others will take offense to that insinuation is reasonable, and dog piling on the ones who actually speak out against being called inherent abusers just because of their sex is disgustingly sexist behavior.
That's where we're at, eh? You can fall under the blanket of being a woman abuser because of what you have between your legs, and when you speak out against that you're laughed at and called a 'snowflake'?
Can't say I'm surprised that's where this conversation has steered.
News flash, sexism doesn't only mean it's man against woman. It can go either way.

YT was so kind to recommend me one of these vids too even though I didn't watch anything regarding feminism, criticism of feminism or even RDR 2 at that point. YT just decided it was a cool video to spread.
When I came across the mission in the game I already had a feeling a bunch of losers would jump on it.

Saw some of this shit on YT, fuck Shirrako.
To top it off he's one of those cunts who post spoilers, hated his like before. Even more so now.

Yep, minding my own business searching for RDR2 OSTs and I see his videos popping up.
Where does the TOS say that though? Sounds like you tubers have to start walking on eggshells to keep their channels intact
The hilarious thing is, if R* actually did do that these people would be crying bloody murder that "SJWs have forced R* to make EVIL FEMINAZIS literally invincible in my game!!! #historicalaccuracy"
With respect to your second point, the game reduces your honor when you kill random innocents for no reason and raises it when you kill robbers/highwaymen. Killing feminists reduces your honor, which is the game's way of saying "yo you're actually being a dick rn". While the game makes it possible to kill everyone, it clearly makes a distinction between a neutral/"good" kill and a shitty one and judges you accordingly. People pushing "but THE GAME lets you do it!" argument conveniently forget this.
