A YouTuber has had their channel wiped out of 190,000 subscribers after posting gameplay footage from the new horror game Hellraiser: Revival. YouTube handed down a lifetime ban despite the creator having blurred out nudity in the video. The creator said the decision cost them 10 years of work.
The ban seems connected to the game's extreme gore rather than nudity alone. Hellraiser: Revival has drawn attention for disturbing imagery that goes further than what YouTube's content policies allow, even when creators attempt to self-censor before uploading.
