That's what I thought from the tweet then saw all his videos. Dude is a total idiot, why act like that when it's clear you have plenty of videos with that shit.

Wow, really? If he did the same to a thousand other npcs male and female in this game, nobody would bat an eye.
But in this special case game bloggers have to make a big fuss and this hivemind forum jumps on it for the bait it is.

Is this dream team bigger than the 92 us basketball team?
I mean have you looked at the titles of the videos, or his response since his banning
Dude has a hard on for killing feminists in increasingly fucked up ways
This gamer:

In a thread of gamers falling over each other to excuse creeping on women. Not sure why you're surprised we have such people in the forum, it's not exactly a new issue.
This thread is another example of terrible gamertakes, but that's expected, since feminism is involved tangentially, and many male gamers have blatant issues with the concept of women with agency.

So you're just going to ignore all the images and the article posted in the OP?
Dude was making money off uploading videos of owning le annoying feminist xDdDdD by hogtying them, parading them around town, feeding them to pigs and alligators and YT's trashy algorithm was promoting this rubbish.
lmfao people really mad at me for acknowledging the fact that men are so fucked up. We benefit from generations of power + control and we have little fucking incels and meninists running around? And somehow, I'm supposed to be banned for simply stating men are trash? Why do other dudes get so offended by the fact that we ain't shit? Men get away with so much foul shit simply because we are dudes. Saying men are trash isn't offensive, it's truth.
You thinking this is gamers is a mistake. This is...much much worse than that. This is just a person trying to stir a pot and a horrible pot at that. I'd believe he was being censored if his videos werent basically virtual snuff films and titled as such.
...
I feel worse for women the last two years than I have my whole life, speaking as an American male in his 30s. How are we going backwards soooooo much right now, but only in the bad, racist, homophobic, misogynistic ways? It feels like reality falling apart.
He didn't call them NPCs. He called them feminist. You're being purposely obtuse just to promote an angle.
This isn't just a random npc. He directly promoted violence against a movement composed by women that preachs for their rights to he respected, and he shows pleasure by doing so with the thumbnails and titles, over and over again. YouTube is filled with alt-right edgelords, they love it and he knows. Now just make a video about "Killing all white people in RDR2." The salt will be off the charts.
This shit can't be tolerated. He got fucked just alright.
Also, RDR2 is one hell of progressive game, the irony.

Killing virtual women to own the libs.
Glad to see that channel gone. Good riddance. Unfortunately there's still a lot of other channels like that uploading similar garbage.

I mean, some women are trash too? Be more specific if you want to be understood. Not ALL men are trash, just like not all women are. Stop generalizing and you're message may be comprehended better next time.
My problem with this situation is that Youtube is always reactive and not proactive. There are quite a few channels that engage in much worse shit and Youtube does not give a fuck. Lauren Southern, the brown people hunter, is a major YT star and that's just sad...
I've had these videos floating in and out of my recommends for a while now due to looking at some Red Dead coverage, glad to see he got banned and hopefully it's permanent.
Yeah I saw this video earlier today, this guy is 100% an incel.
What I find weird about it from YT is that this quickly got banned despite years of much worse channels and videos regarding misogyny, racism, etc. I just don't understand the thought process of the people are making these decisions to suspend channels on YouTube.

You either havent read the OP or there is a problem in your reading comprehension. :/

love how he @'s boogie, h3h3 and keemstar
LOL, suspended!
guessing it wasn't good?
Guy just said he was going to dress up as Hitler while doing it now.
This ain't somebody to defend, bruv.
Rather than focus on what you're actually trying to say, I imagine it's easier for people to attempt to call you out so as to absolve them of their own complicity in what's been going on. There's a lot of shit to call out in this thread but your post was not one of them. You'd have to be trying to be obtuse not to see that.
This NPC made me feel uncomfortable because I felt she was purposefully put into the world to illicit these responses.
Profiting off violence against feminists and women is terrible, it is great this guy lost his channel. I support the notion of this being a 'sandbox' game allowing players to behave in whichever way they choose, but when some of those behaviors can be used to promote violence against women in real life scenarios I begin to think what could have been done differently to prevent this.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Peddling disinformation and history of community generalizations
That doesnt answer my question. Offcourse there are sexists in gaming, as they are in most wakes of life.
The youtuber was a piece of trash going by those titles. He earned the ban.
But where has anyone said sexism isnt a problem in gaming?
Im getting tired of this "gamerz" boogeyman this forum has created for target practice. Get fucking real. Youre on a gaming forum . Stop trying act above others because you devote yourself to saying nice thinga on the internet. Didnt end up meaning shit on the old site when it burned down and it doesn't here.
Terrible people deserve the worst. End of story. But with how encouraging the mods are with these garbage generalizations(starts with gamers , goes to white men and ends up with all males being called a mistake for this asshole that has nothing to do with anyone else) to straight up preaching racial racial genocide i really wonder what kind of impact they think this forum is actually making.
This stance is even more hilarious if you consider the past week of gaming news.
I see what you did there.
Why act this bothered by it? This forum doesn't impact jackshit, and never will, so why do you care about it? It's like you secretly think it's okay to be an asshole.
I'm male, white, and I don't care if someone says "White men are the worst,", I don't see me there, and it can be funny. Unless you're guilty of something, there's no reason to be this upset haha.
I don't even remember looking atany RDR content and Youtube still reccomended this asshole's nonsense to me. Good to see he got sweeped out, but Youtube only bothered because he was small enough to feel expendable.
Given the current climate, i have plenty of reasons. Thats offcourse only until i stop taking any of this seriously seeing no point tp it. (At which point i expect to be attacked for not taking a stance)
If I had to guess, those videos got viral thanks to how easy is to mock him for making not one, but 4 videos (and maybe more) where he takes the time to murder a feminist in the most convulted and cartoonish way possible, to the point that the creator really has a lot of issues/is a mysoginist
Milo was banned from Twitter years ago, this is just a running gag.
(And it's still funny every time)
Generally I would agree, but the character is pretty accurate to suffragists of the time. The only way they could get their voice heard was by shouting loud enough. If you kill her you get a rather large amount of negative honor, your wanted level is put at maximum and you gain a pretty significant bounty. So sure, you could kill her, but the downsides of doing so are pretty major.
