Insider Gaming • • technology
Key Points:
- YouTuber xj0nathan, with a decade-long presence and 190,000 subscribers, was permanently banned from YouTube after posting gameplay of Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival that included a blurred explicit scene.
- YouTube removed the video and subsequently deleted the entire channel, citing violations of its sex and nudity policy, despite the content being censored and part of a longer gameplay video.
- The creator highlighted inconsistencies, noting that similar content remains on other channels without censorship, and has unsuccessfully appealed YouTube’s decision multiple times.
- xj0nathan is now calling for a final review from YouTube and is considering legal action under the Digital Services Act (DSA) framework if the platform does not reconsider its decision.
