For some background, back in November a game came out called Red Dead Redemption II where it's open-world in the early 20th century and you can beat/kill anyone. When it came out, someone posted a video showing him killing a suffragette woman by feeding her to an alligator and lots of people complained about it, that it was sexist/misogynistic even despite the fact is you can do the same to anyone else. Thing is, after the aforementioned video came out, due to all the backlash it got, lots of other people made videos killing the suffragette woman in many other ways.

Here is the original video:

Perhaps the someone is a misogynist, IDK, IDC. It's a fantasy game where you pretend kill pretend people. A persons reasons for this are their own.

In my years I have pretend killed a couple people in my head. I do think that is where shyte like this needs to stay, in your head or at most among close friend around the fire pit after a couple drinks.

Right. Sitting in front of a TV for hours is such a morally superior form of entertainment

Not so much misogynistic as sociopathic.
Whatever.

Seems misogynistic to single out a suffragette specifically, yeah. I would guess that the person in the video has a particular message they wanted to convey with that. Still, I don't know much of anything about the game other than the fact that it's fantasy and involves killing people.

Whether this is misogynistic or not, is about the last thing that bothers me about watching this video.
