You really don't need to do that. Attempting to point out others' pettiness only emphasizes your own.
This is what it's like.
Fine, you're right. I guess that's what you wanted.
All anyone wants is to have a reasonable discussion with all participants demonstrating a willingness to support assertions they make if and when solicited. For example...
Can you provide anything that actually indicates this as YouTube's reasoning for the action they took?
I'll admit, I've not delved into this matter beyond this thread (my exposure to which has itself been limited by the considerable amount of nonsense coming from those on both sides of the issue and my disinterest in taking all of that in) and a smattering of profile posts that either appear to refer to it or explicitly do so, but I'm not aware that representatives of the service have come forward with justification for the decision to remove the user's content and revoke the user's ability to participate as they had previously been able.

Oh don't mind me now, just popping in to say that 213 messages, well 214 with this one I'm making now,
has been posted in the 1,505 minutes since the creation of this thread. 8 pages in total so far.
That is 0.14 posts per minute, or 0.0023698782 posts per second.
Jordan has been tagged four times, or once every 6.25 hours on average.
The word 'feminist' has been posted 40 times, or once every 37.625 minutes.
I ate cereal with raisins this morning and the demonym of a person living in Duluth, Minnesota
is Duluthian.
As you were..

It isnt even the content that got him. It is the specific titles he used as clickbait. It was encouraging a lot of hatefull comments on the videos. I saw the comments and was speechless on the amount of trolls. Even I found it funny, but he kept posting these titles to garner more views. In my opinion a he should have had a request to take them down before banning him.
Is he banned indefinately or just suspended for an amount of time?

If clickbait, trolling and hatespeech was a reason to take down videos, YT would be a lot smaller than it is now.

At this point in time, neither. Account is reinstated with supposed warnings about the video for users before hand, I believe. I have not checked, though.

Y'know, it seems to me that you simply want said user to have already come to a conclusion (and they may very well have done so, but it isn't represented in the oft-cited solicitation) so that you can continue to pick at it.
Let's have a look at the post again:
As I indicated, a conclusion can easily be interpreted in the opening remark, but thanks to the use of the "me" qualifier twice, that conclusion can only be attributed to the user making the remark.
The second sentence, while not specifically a question as it has been referred to, is most definitely a solicitation, and that conclusion is supported by the user opting to tag the individual they are soliciting. If the cited sentiment indeed a conclusion rather than a solicitation, it does not play into the user's hand to utilize the tag, as doing so more readily opens the user up to admonishment by the tagged individual if the solicitation is perceived as an answer being provided for them.

Imagine Postal 2 game released today...
You were pretty much able to piss off feminists, enviromentalists, terrorists, etc. And you can literally piss on everything (oh yes...zipper has even own key to show some helicoptering).
But on the other hand...game was only just violent as player wanted. You were able to complete game not hurting anyone.

People aren't blaming Rockstar for this,people are blaming Shirrako,it's not about the game.

I know, but my point is that in open world game, it's up to player, how dick you are.

The problem here is how Shirrako targeted a specific group through multiple videos with inflamatory titles and when he came back after the ban he doubled down on it.

Disagree. It seems to me the problem is people got upset because action was taken against an individual, presumably for behavior that they consider harmless, and others chimed in to defend the action as justified, presumably for behavior that they consider harmful, when that action needed no justification. The action was later reversed and the discussion degenerated into "who said what, I'm right and you're wrong".

Of course you’re responsible for your own actions. That includes when you encourage and reinforce people’s negative attitudes towards other people, and that makes you share part of the blame for their crimes. It’s naive to think that people are not formed by the culture around them.
Nobody got hurt IN the video, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t have other consequences.

People get offended over a gameplay video.

You’re patheticBut can’t say I’m surprised, this is a fairly typical behaviour for butthurt SJWs... I wouldn’t be surprised if you started mass reporting Shirrako on GTP now, and ask for a ban for him
But should we report him for the thumbnails or the contents of the videos?
My bottom isn't hurting but I do have a headache, does that count?

Well this is certainly a sound basis for a solid argument.

Actually the point of freedom of speech is that you can't be imprisoned for saying them. It doesn't guarantee you the use of a private company's platform to say them, and Youtube closing someone's account because they don't like the content they posted is not a free speech issue.
And thus:
The thread could have ended here. I'm very surprised that YouTube said this was an accident, they are well within their rights to close someone's account if they're proven to consistently target a specific group of people in an attempt to promote hate. Which they are. They're some of the worst content I've ever seen on the platform.
