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.

But due to the preasure of promoting "problematic ideas", as if there was a message in the first place, just a search "Gta IV : Hospital massacre" and tell me how that video promotes mass shotings

The game doesn't promote mass shootings, and neither does somebody filming the game footage. You're being disingenuous because you think you're making some grand point about hypocrisy in media when all you're doing is showing that you don't understand context one iota.

Therefore the video promotes violence against feminists as much as "GTA IV: hospital massacre" promotes mass shootings

You just ignored my point about context and re-asserted something you just said because you think I didn't read it. One video specifically mocks feminism and makes a point about assaulting them. The other promotes nothing.

And we see games like Wolfenstein promote political violence against nazis yet everyone seems to not have a problem with that but feminism, oh dear that's a no no. Again, don't take games seriously. Even if the video mocks feminism. Come back to reality.

Wow, this post is going in my YIKES folder. Nazis committed genocide. Feminists never have. Get your fucking priorities straight, mate.

Seems like you missed the point. You're the one bring up political violence and I bring a counter. Don't like me doing this? Then don't take games seriously.

The Nazis were genocidal murderers and they're used as villains because they represent the worst of humanity. They're fascists and want anybody to the left of them to die. Depicting them being killed in a game is nowhere akin to gloating about killing a suffragist.

You're speaking the obvious there captain. Problem is you continue to show how you cannot separate reality from fiction.
