Hellraiser: Revival is not afraid to go there. Like the Clive Barker horror series its based on, the survival horror game has all manner of gore, violence, and sex. And now a YouTuber’s been banned over the gameplay they uploaded to their channel from it. The gameplay in question apparently even had black boxes covering up the actual NC-17 stuff.

French content creator J0nathan shared the ban notice from YouTube on X (via IGN). It stated that his channel was removed from the Google-owned platform for violating its policies against sex and nudity. “Explicit content that’s meant to be sexually gratifying isn’t allowed on YouTube,” the ban read.

Hellraiser features full nudity at points, including the beginning of the game, so you might think this is not surprising, but J0nathan told IGN that these parts of the video were censored with black bars. There was a “not for kids” label put on the video but it wasn’t age-gated.

Je vous interpelle une dernière fois concernant la suppression de ma chaîne de 190 000 abonnés pour un motif erroné. Il s'agissait d'un simple gameplay de jeu vidéo, et non d'un contenu destiné à la gratification sexuelle.

“Since the rest of the game was just a standard horror title like Resident Evil I figured it didn’t really require an age restriction, and that if anything, YouTube would just apply one later on like they always do,” he said.

The YouTuber’s channel had 190,000 subscribers built over over 10 years of content.
