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

so instead we must let them spread their message unchallenged?
He's not being turned into a martyr, he just not being allowed to share his feminist murder fantasies that end up in everyone's algorithms and thus exposing his feminist murder fantasies to an even wider audience,
Excellent advice, but I'm not the one who needs it right now.
I'm not suggesting that at all, where did you pluck that from?
I just thought it's interesting how society changes a lot in some ways but not a lot in other ways, and how Rockstar was at the centre both times.
That's cool. Without spoiling anything specific I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the game when it comes to its handling of social issues. I have been and I know others have been as well. This isn't GTA.
I mean, your statement, whether you meant it this way or not, was that we should let such hateful videos go unhindered because to act or speak against them might rile them up to doing more.
Which, you know, is bad and wrong. It is badong.
No, report him, get his channel dropped. Don't get him even more publicity by making him a headline.
Aka the exact opposite of what Wambo was doing as he typed that post.
You are. My comment didn't deserve a more enhancing response, yet here you are, four posts later, still engaging, but still not saying shit.
Please show me where I said we just let hateful videos go unhindered or that we shouldn't speak against hate.... I'll wait.
I think the article did the opposite of hindering him. It made him a hate celebrity.
Jack Thompson argued that games made kids violent. This is some MRA asshole putting his toxic ideology into the game. Completely different.
Were those things part of a video series dedicated to targeting only a specific or particular group based on their gender and belief?
I mean, I also don't think it's wrong to point at his poor actions and say, "See this? This is bad. Don't do this. He was dumb for doing this and here's why," where then we can have a greater conversation about why he was wrong, why google was wrong for pushing his videos so hard, and why people shouldn't repeat his actions out of some weird spite-filled angle because they don't understand the concept of "hateful content".
Black People don't belong in America and should be exterminated - DIFFERENT OPINION
Equates Racist Murderers with Women fighting for Civil Rights
Wambo, are you stupid or evil? Which one?
Actually if you look above I did in fact elaborate
You never really explained why this is bad for feminism....
I smile everytime he dies during story mission.
Game was like: MISSION FAILED
I was like: No, let's just roll with it okay
i wish jack thompson hadn't completely poisoned the well wrt violence in video games, because i do feel that there's a very interesting discussion to be had about the glorification of violence in video games, as well as the fact that most games require you to be violent to proceed, and how games devs seem to struggle with coming up with ways to meaningful interact with game worlds that don't require you to destroy shit
of course Gamerz are completely allergic to any kind of nuanced criticism of video games so maybe even if jack thompson didn't exist they would still react poorly to discussion about violence in video games anyway

In that case sorry. So the MRA guys made a stupid name. Who woulda thunk it?
This is so arbitrary. There is nothing wrong with exposing and shaming this kind of garbage. It's just a lazy way of making this a both sides argument by being like yeah he did a bad thing but you're TALKING about it being bad, which is just as bad
I think there's disagreement about whether this actually breaks the TOS because, again, it's from a video game. I think that's the most important fact when looking at what happened, I don't think it should be discounted as some people are doing. I've only got the article to go off of since the video was removed, but it appears in-game he just kills people, and the titles are, while objectionable, just describing what he did. Not something like, "This is what you should do to feminists" which I do think would be promoting or condoning violence against real people, and would break TOS. But the question is, are video game characters protected groups? Personally, I don't think so, which is why I don't think the video strictly breaks the TOS. Maybe the guy made hateful comments in the video, or in the comments on the page, but I don't know that since it was removed.SO YEA ABOUT THAT POLICY
Thompson often argued that violent games were an outlet where kids could rehearse their existing violent fantasies, which is what you're accusing this guy of doing. And maybe he was, his titles certainly suggest it, but there is no study that shows real life violence linked to video game violence, so the point would be moot regardless of why he made the video.

To be fair though, I don't think game characters should get the right to vote. If that's what you are getting at.
I don;t think you make 10 videos or whatever where you meticulously play out your feminist murder fantasies and then post them with Alt-right clickbait monitzation titles just for fun. It's expressing hatred.
Ah, I subscribed to Shirrako's channel because the guy had all the Souls games soundtracks as well as other games'. Didn't know he was a GG piece of shit...
It's not one video it's at least 5 videos.
Come on man, this is in the OP.
This is the most insidious whataboutism I've seen on this forum.
Just because you think banning his channel is too harsh doesn't mean you have to defend his video.
Feel free to express how it's too much or too unprofessional to ban him but please don't start jutifying his content.

I'm not entertaining your "it's just pixels" bs sorrynotsorry.
You're not clever.
Sorry to derail just for a second, but this made me chuckle. I'm not that far in the game (after 30 hours only still chapter 2), but
dammit did I really just want to leave him in that jail cell, and holy crap I actually tried to shoot him while the mission was going on because I was like "Dammit! I did not want to get involved in all of this"
I wonder just how far the video poster is going to go with the "I'm the victim here" since he's been banned.
Did you just not walk away and just stay in her general vicinity or.....
