So there was an official Senran Kagura livestream happening earlier today on YouTube. The stream was supposed to be something of a progress report on upcoming Senran Kagura games and their development, but it was taken down by YouTube for "violating YouTube's policy on nudity and sexual content".
The thing is, you can visit the official Senran Kagura channel or any one of the series' many fan channels and all of their videos seem to be doing perfectly fine. Either the rules differ for livestreams or the livestream somehow crossed the line -- or YouTube just doesn't bother to keep its own rules consistent.
Knowing the platform, it's probably the latter.

Its the latter, lets be 100% honest.
Whoops!
YouTube being killjoys here
This will probably hurt future western localizations
Time to take a break from the internet. Cheers!
Rampant speculation is rampant.
youtube has gone to (fill in the blanks) ever since google and ads took it over.
even horror stuff gets demonitized,but hey atleast the disstracks and the fortnite dances are a true hit right?
sigh.
Youtube is a total joke these days. Whether people care for the content in these games or not, there's far worse that can be found by the kiddies on the internet, even right there on Youtube.
Throwing ping-pong balls at a model's cleavage is a bridge too far, I guess.
Whereas you can easily find actual, full on sex on youtube if you're looking for it.
Well, whatever. It's free advertising for a game like this.
Why do I feel this is the perfect excuse to well rant heavily on YouTube? If not the article then hehe the comments.
😂
Well surely YouTube is not a single entity or a sentient being. I'm not sure how the censorship works with massive services like YouTube but obviously there are people behind this. Either reporting the stream or actually pulling the plug.
Pretty sure there are worst things on YouTube than this, but whatever I guess.
The only thing this is going to do is help the game sell more. Free press...
@Splat
Honestly, if it helps the game sell more I'm all for it, simply because I know it will irk the hyper-sensitive loonies who get offended by this stuff.
So they found some Benny Hill DNA and spliced it into the genes of a bunch of Japanese game developers.
