Love how when someone on the internet in a position such as myself removes a video, bans a member, edits a post etc, and the "censorship" term gets thrown about, never mind the fact that a full explanation of the reasons for said editing were given.

The same YouTube channel also published fake screenshots of Shenmue III.
The cynical view is that they're just using the fanbase for clicks, and trying to create controversy for more views.
Quoted for the third time, for those who struggle to work it out.
The author in question already has pulled stunts like this in the past, and as with that video, this one makes no attempt to distinguish itself as a fan made parody. None at all. It's irrelevant that people cant, "work it out", we are supposed to be fans of the franchise, and Shenmue has a hard time enough as it is from the media. We not going to start promoting idiotic clickbait videos or attempts at Joe random out there to be hilarious and get a few more views on his channel. I would comfortably say the same would happen if such a video appeared at Team Yu or on 500k. We all collectively have the best interests of Shenmue at heart and will keep it that way, which is what a loyal fan base should do.
The video ShenGCH posted above has been put in spoiler tags for those who want to cry, "censorship". But it won't be posted around the Dojo for kicks.
