Extreme Series | Hiroyuki Terada "These videos are EXTREMELY GRAPHIC by nature and show the dispatching of living creatures or may show some skills Chef Hiro does, which we DO NOT recommend by anyone." "We hope you enjoy them all..."

Dear YouTube,

I'll do this in point form because I'm too angry with you to write a proper letter:

• What is this kind of RUBBISH doing on your platform in the year 2021?
• https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLw4w6pxDkwuY19AA30--T67M3K-WGriC8
• It's clearly animal abuse.
• Since when is eating live animals okay Youtube? Since when?
• This sort of rubbish belongs in Japan, not the West. Don't even try to normalise it here. It doesn't belong. We're not interested in seeing this, not now and not ever.
• If it was a cow or a sheep or a pig or a chicken you wouldn't allow it to stand. Eating animal while it looks on, helpless... just the thought of it alone is disturbing enough.
• Why the double-standard when it comes to crustaceans and amphibians?
• Violent or gory content intended to shock or disgust viewers are not allowed on YouTube.
• Do you have a policy against intentionally shocking or graphic videos or don't you?
• This bears repeating. Do you have a policy against intentionally shocking or graphic videos, or don't you? Well?
  
• Hiroyuki Terada himself admits that it is extremely graphic. Look at the thumbnail! What does it say? It says "EXTREMELY GRAPHIC". Are you blind or what?

• If you're going to be all "politically correct" and ban and censor conservative people left right and center from merely speaking about the problem of islamic extremism (for example), then why do you allow extremely graphic "content" your platform? One is mere speech, the other is a cruel act. What is worse?

• So it's either going to be one or the other. If you want a "politically correct" platform, then I'm sorry but videos like these MUST be removed too. You either have a "politically correct" platform or you don't. There's no inbetween.

• There is no "skill" in serving up live animals to be eaten. There is no "skill" is torturing animals. Certainly no skill in broadcasting that.
• Lastly I wanted to add that I don't think Hiroyuki Terada would have been even HALF as "successful" without these sort of hideously graphic videos.I know this because 14M people have watched one video and yet he only has 1.8M subscribers. Not the best ratio, is it?
• He built his following up by posting graphic animal abuse videos. What kind of message does this send to youngsters?
• The worst part is this arsehole is getting paid by you to produce extremely graphic videos (on purpose). It breaks even your own lousy community guidelines but it seems you make exceptions for Hiroyuki Terada because he has millions of followers. Why? Are you scared to censor his extremely graphic playlist? Are you scared he scream "racism" or what?
• Do what needs to be done and get rid of it.
