Shitty things have been done in these sorts of games for a long time. Worse if anything. Difference is that people like myself understand that this is fiction and losing your mind/calling something advocating X is retarded since those that do have lost touch with reality

Of course it's fiction, but when you use a work of fiction to push political messages and advocate for violence against real people, then you're taking a work of fiction and applying it to the real world. Fiction does not exist in a vacuum. It never has. Stop being naive.

I don't think i'm the one being naive here. I just have my priorities straightened out and know that crying about someone treating a fictional character badly for their fictional views is idiotic. Hopefully he gets his channel back. Youtube's decision is wrong.

Nobody is "crying about someone treating a fictional character badly". We're condemning a person for using a video game to promote violence against feminists (see the title of the original video and the comments) and how this is a much broader issue.

What's naive is doubling down on this uncritical insistence that because something is fiction, it can't be used in a damaging way. Would you extend that rationale to religious texts and the wars waged on the backs of them? If not, then you're being inconsistent.

The problem isn't the work of fiction itself, it's the person who is using that work of fiction to spread a particular message to an audience who are clearly stirred up by it. This is a condemnation of one person based on their actions. Not anything to do with gaming specifically

The people really "crying" is this guy for getting booted off of a platform for perpetuating what clearly violates YouTube's terms of service.

There are literally gta v montages of Narco songs honoring the life of drugdealers and murderers and youtube doesn't do anything about it, this video, as unpleseant as you may have found it, was NOT taken due the violation of YT terms

Then complain about it to YouTube instead of getting onto them for correctly flagging a video that does violate their terms of service. (P.S., honouring murderers or glourifying them isn't the same as advocating for political violence).

Violence be it political or otherwise is bad. No one's arguing this. Problem is you seem to think it's okay to take someone down over "political violence" yet we see genocide and mass killings often yet no one bats an eye.

I'd love it if the United States sanctioned Saudi Arabia for its genocide of Yemeni people, or if the Israeli apartheid were put an end to. Don't @ me like I'm inconsistent on my views when it comes to bad things. I'm not. You're just pointing out worse things as a diversion.

I'm pointing them out to show you how ridiculous you are over this.
