Part 3/9:
Suppression of Critical Content and Fair Use Concerns
Ryan mentions that his own YouTube channel was targeted after he posted a video discussing The Last of Us Part II, its leaks, and the involvement of figures like Anita Sarkeesian and Neil Druckmann. He claims that he received a copyright strike for showing images that are publicly available and meme-worthy, arguing this constitutes fair use, especially since he was providing commentary and context.
He also highlights that other content creators, such as Gaming with Geeks, have experienced similar takedowns, suggesting a coordinated effort by Naughty Dog to control the narrative. Ryan views these actions as attempts to bury critical discussions rather than address the community's concerns openly.
