I actually had two customers come into my shop talking about this earlier today, saying how disgusting the videos are... thought I'd join in their conversation and joke about equality, if men can be beaten up in games, why not women too? One of them said "But nobody puts videos of beating men online"... yeah, I wasn't sure if they were serious so I just YouTubed a whole bunch of "funny" videos from GTA and Red Dead Redemption showing men also being killed in silly ways, then said once the online comes out they'll be able to create female avatars and go round beating men up if the videos upset them so much they really want revenge. One of them seemed okay with that, the other just seemed confused as to why people would do anything like that in games, it's as if this was the first ever video of its kind she'd seen...

It's nice to see Shirrako has his account back now, although he should never have been banned in the first place.

Hold on a minute...
Are you implying that people from outside the medium with certain vested political interests, who have little or no experience with the medium or understanding of the context, simply get a whiff of something they don't like and try to strong-arm consumers of that medium into bowing to their standards?

I must have misread your comment because that could never happen in 2018.
