A YouTuber has been stripped of their whole channel of 190,000 subscribers after posting gameplay footage from the new horror game Hellraiser: Revival. YouTube enforced a permanent account ban despite the creator having blurred out nudity in the video. The creator said the decision wiped out a decade of content.
The ban seems connected to the game's extreme gore rather than nudity alone. Hellraiser: Revival has drawn attention for graphic violence that goes beyond what YouTube's content policies allow, even when creators attempt to self-censor before uploading.
