Hes a scumbag but do people think he should be banned for his videos?
I for one think obviously not, there are worse videos allowed on youtube with violence in videogames...
Now, about what he posts in the comment section.... now thats another story
Never said it wasnt sick, just that isnt a reason to ban the channel.
If the game allows it, why it should be censored? Can you not also kill KKK? Can you not kill innocent people? Somone could say it sends the message that is OK to murder innocent people.... so no, I dont agree with that line of though.
Youtube comment section was ALWAYS always a dumpster fire place but I think they can find a reasoning to ban him again for his comments alone. (hopefully)
I know, its stick and revolting, and it shouldn't be banned IMHO since all hes doing is using the freedom thats allowed to the player on RDR2.
If you go that censorship route then one could way that the video below with that music, is making fun of murdering innocent people and his channel should be banned for it
Yes, he should absolutely be banned. The videos themselves are irrelevant. What matters is that he's clearly using them to spread hate. And that's unacceptable, shouldn't be tolerated, and absolutely should be grounds to ban him, like they originally did before YouTube caved.
Like, riddle me this if you still don't get it. Using your logic of "he's only using the freedom that's allowed to the player on RDR2" and focusing specifically on that, as if that should in any way be what matters here, but nonetheless going with that logic anyway here, imagine a scenario such as this:
A person uploads a video to YouTube entitled something to the effect of "Killing that goddamn N-Word" that's showing a player deliberately triggering one of the fail/death states for Miles Morales in the Spider-Man game for PS4.
Then this person uploads another video, titled something like "Showing that fucking N-Word Who's Boss Again" that's deliberately doing the same thing again, showing off another one of the fail/death states in one of the Miles sections of the game.
And then another one.
And then another.
And another.
Just uploading a bunch of videos, all entitled something to the effect of "Killing that goddamn N-word" showing off all the ways you can kill Miles in the game and just doing it in purpose, over and over again in each video.
Should something like that be allowed? Because under the logic you're using now, to defend this stuff, to argue that this person shouldn't be banned, you'd HAVE to say "yes" to be consistent. Because as you described these RDR2 videos, they might be "sick and revolting" but they're still nonetheless all about the player only "using the freedom allowed to the player by Insomniac's Spider-Man game for the PS4" so you'd HAVE to argue that stuff like that would be allowed as well, because it's only the freedom of the game that matters, and not the title of the game or the actual intent of the videos? Just whether the videos show something the game allows or not, that's all?
Of course, that's obviously, 100% nonsense, and I would you that you would agree with that. Regardless of whether the Spider-Man game would allow that stuff in my example, the intent of those videos in my example would be a 100% crystal clear attempt to spread racist hate and absolutely under no circumstances should be allowed and anyone who tries anything like that should indeed be kicked off YouTube ASAP and not be given any platform or ability to spread their hate, whatsoever.
And if you do indeed get that, that such a clearly racially charged set of videos should easily be enough to get people banned because of said intent despite it only using stock footage from the game to spread that message, if you get that, then you also understand the problem here with these Red Dead Redemption 2 videos, and it doesn't matter one iota whether it's just showing stuff you can do in the game or not. It's only using that footage to spread a message of misogyny and hate, and that should not be tolerated, and anyone doing something like that should absolutely 100% rightly be banned..
And if you don't, and would be fine with my hypothetical Miles Morales example as well, if someone making a series of videos all about killing him off on purpose and calling him the N-word in the title of each game is ALSO something you'd indeed be alright with, just because the videos using footage from a game to do that, as if that should matter at all, I just don't know what to say other than we're obviously at a complete impasse at that point because someone using video game footage to spread a message of hate shouldn't be a free pass to let that hate stay on YouTube. That shouldn't be tolerated, no matter what medium or means they're using to spread it. It should not be tolerated end of. So if you would indeed be fine with that, I don't know what to say at that point, but I hope you do and that that kind of example helps you understand what the problem is here and why this guy absolutely should be banned, end-of.
