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.

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.

Hot Take: Killing Nazis is somehow controversial and wrong.
