I can with all honesty and good conscious say that I never did a "gamer moment". Back when I still was in a phase where that was tempting, I didn't have the money for games which would allow such actions.
2:53 killing medics (the class in TF2, that is) is not a warcrime, as they are armed, therefore are active combatants. 3:24 No Russian is a crime against humanity, not a warcrime, as it happens outside of a conflict. 4:00 the highway of death was not a warcrime, as there were active combatants in the convoy. a retreating enemy is still a valid target, and he does not stop being one even if he surrounds himself with civilians. This is done to prevent un-scrupulous parties from using civilians as human shields. of course, the arguement about what level of "collateral damage" is acceptable will likely continue until the end of time.
Disappears for two years, no explanation for the absence, drops a banger and topical video, still refuses to elaborate for the absence. Undiagnosed autistic king shit, right here.
Not me watching this at my local coffee shop red face in public. Davo with the epic shout out ❤🎉 And of course another banger video from the woop man. I apologize for the wooper genocide I performed trying to shiny hunt in Scarlett 😢
LITERALLY MADE ME THE JOKERRR 😈 love how you spun this into a lesson of how easy it is to fall into inhuman beliefs and acts simply because you get desensitized to them. It's the same root argument I have about how "jokes" about racism, antisemitism, etc lead to real world beliefs. Fake it til you make it is real, and it's not just about confidence. It applies to hateful rhetoric as well.
"So keep harvesting organs and commiting planetary genocide folks because, like I said at the start of the video, war crimes are very fun!" -davo nice to have you back dude
I think one of the best examples is MGS Phantom Pain. The enemies are humanised really well, and if you listen to what they say you'll hear them talking about you (and if they're scared of you) about their family and friends, dreams. I used to kill them for the sake of ease, but once I heard a Russian talking about how much he wants to go home to see his daughter I stopped and thought about my actions. Also, glad to see you back.
I always enjoyed planetary bomardment in star trek brith of the federation. that way you can just colonise empty planets after you have wiped out the locals.
For me it's always so boring to be sane and reasonable i wanna be evil and fucked up and line my own pockets with the souls of orphans also holy shit you're alive
I honestly see a bigger Problem when war crimes are depicted as clever Tactics in a Story And roleplaying as an Sarturday Morning Cartoon villian has its Benefit but rarely is fun for the Player For example a renegade Playthrougth in Mass effect is almost impossibel because how human the Charakters are
8:12 i feel like this could also be quite negative, like i think u should be confronted with these crimes against humanity through atleast flavour texts in events, maybe the community wouldnt be as terrible as it is if the game didnt ignore all these terrible things
I do understand your point, but I think that having the ability for the player to commit historical genocide just gives genuine scumbags the agency to do it, not to mention the fact that the game would get so much negative attention in the media/online for it. When it's something that happened in real life it hits a bit closer to home than a totally fictional genocide. Also a surefire way to have the game banned in Germany and probably Japan and Australia too lol
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH DAVO! I THOUGHT YOU DIED BUT I'M SO HAPPY MY FEAR DIDN'T MATERIALIZE. PLEASE DO NOT SCARE ME LIKE EVER AGAIN! WE HAVE SO MUCH TO CATCH UP ON. THIS IS NOT A PARASOCIAL RELATIONSHIP!
The real War Crime was not uploading in 2 years ahahahahahahah yeah sorry about that lol (davo dot com is so back though)
Getting back into youtube with a video the algorithm will certainly love
I got so excited when I saw you released a video
Happy to see you posting again!
@@funnydog7133Here's hoping! But more than anything I'm working on just being in love with making content again 🩵
Glad to have you back, wooper-man
Holy crap he’s alive.
Exactly the same reaction.
We are so back.
@@davo_ glad to hear it.
When you least expected the whooper came back
Wooper jumpscare
It's not a war crime if you have the biggest stick and say it's not a war crime.
The other day I was thinking about how much I missed watching your videos, glad you back buddy and I hope your doing well
Thank you very much, glad to be back and should have more to come!!!
Like why fifa 24 & 5 suck?
Calling Rimworld and Dwarf Fortress the Messi and Ronaldo of comitting war crimes is the most accurate way of describing them ive ever heard.
I can with all honesty and good conscious say that I never did a "gamer moment".
Back when I still was in a phase where that was tempting, I didn't have the money for games which would allow such actions.
"I was a good person due to lack of funding"
We missed you lilbro!!! Glad you're back. SIKE THAT'S THE WRONG EMOTION!!! Bro fumbled the 9 to 5 so badly had to start uploading again
They fired my ahh for playin Zulu Wars at work 😭😭😭😭
replace biters in factorio with people and it becomes a war crime sim
Omg I totally forgot abt your channel then i saw this notification and im so excited, 2 of my favorite youtubers coming back this year after a break
7:34 That haircut and goatee is a war crime
2:53

3:24
No Russian is a crime against humanity, not a warcrime, as it happens outside of a conflict.

Another Davo banger, happy to have you back
aayyyy at last, new video! missed ya man. glad to see you back!
Glad to be back 😎
Back from the grave? Forgot something? Nah, good to see you again lol. Missed your content
Disappears for two years, no explanation for the absence, drops a banger and topical video, still refuses to elaborate for the absence.
Undiagnosed autistic king shit, right here.
So true bestie 💪😤 I will make a vid explaining the absence somewhat eventially (probably xd)
@@davo_ You don't have to. Honestly, this is your channel, your life, you do you, you don't owe anything to anyone.
Nah I was planning to at some stage anyway, just to explain and clear up any misconceptions or whatever but the TL:DR is life just kinda got busy lol
@@davo_ Well. Hope you're doing well, regardless!
Hold on a minute, is the outro song a Chickens Invaders 2 soundtrack? Cuz this songs burned into my brain
Damn right it is, it's fire AF 🔥🔥
@davo_ ah a childhood classic!
Funny wooper man is back!
Funny wooper man: "Let's talk about war crimes."
Should have put Netanyahu on the thumbnail
Rent is so high bro decided to come back
So glad to see you back Davo_! Hope this is a permanent change rather than a flash in the pan!
I have missed your videos! He is back!!!
it is fucked up that you are not allowed to kill medics in wars. Everyone knows that you gotta kill the mage and healer first.
Can you do CP in video games next?
Yes!!! I love Cool People!!!
chris paul
Bro the Civil Protection is literally only in Half Life 2 would be such a short video
nah bro gotta pay respects to the og CTF first
Holy carp, Davo's back!
Holy cr*p Lois dis is freaky schweet
After 2 years of taking a hiatus, Davo has returned after realizing this world had a severe lack of Woopers.
Welcome back, you absolute legend.
HES BACK THE KING!!!
Did not expect this in my feed, welcome back!
Davo returns - welcome back, whooper king.
Not me watching this at my local coffee shop red face in public. Davo with the epic shout out ❤🎉
And of course another banger video from the woop man. I apologize for the wooper genocide I performed trying to shiny hunt in Scarlett 😢

Cannot believe my hero Shott1e literally committed crimes against Woopers 😭😭😭
I can't believe it ! Davo has returned!!!
Bro's finally back with the milk
I FORGOT THIS MAN EXISTED
Same tbh
Davo?!??! More like two years between uploads-o
So true Uncle Cletus, so true 🙏🌝
Hahaha, onlyfans coming soon???
Bro I would never do OnlyFans. LoyalFans has way better rates for creators catch my feet pics on there instead
I just recently remembered you disappeared for too long. Glad you're back.
Glad to be back 😤
This was a greatest video. Thank you for upload davido-
Was just talking about you a few days ago and was wondering where you were, welcome back lol
I almost thought they released Starbound 2 when I saw this.
That would be the most grievous War Crime ever comitted
Holy crap he is really alive. I'm shocked and happy!!!
welcome back :)
Grazie amico
I could swear davo was killed by the EA mob
Well, well, well... In the time you've been GONE I gained 10k subs. Now you return? To ruin my life with my addiction to Davo_ videos?
No way he is back!
Nice to see you again! Love the footage of the original Age of Empires III, though I'm wondering - why not the definitive edition?
Glad to be back! Also I'm pretty sure that footage was taken before the Definitive Edition came out
I mistly agree. Also welcome back
yo! welcome back!
another game that came to mind for me was democracy 4, i loved turning countries into brutal militaristic dictatorships
made a shitty game review video nearly 2 years ago because of this channel, glad to see you back
Releases constantly during trump admin, doesnt release during biden....trump is back...davo is back....hmmm
Trump first executive order as president: make davo_ great again
@@davo_ yeah yeah, jk whatever you want, we all Know you are Trump great grand-uncle
"So keep harvesting organs and commiting planetary genocide folks because, like I said at the start of the video, war crimes are very fun!" -davo
nice to have you back dude
Post this video when they least expect it.
Honestly forgot about this channel even existing for awhile - until this showed up out of the blue.
I have launched nukes in Little Big Planet 2 and blown up planets. My sackboy is a monster.
Ey welcome back chief
The king returns
I think one of the best examples is MGS Phantom Pain. The enemies are humanised really well, and if you listen to what they say you'll hear them talking about you (and if they're scared of you) about their family and friends, dreams.

Also, glad to see you back.
Ah! After ten thousand(ish) years he's free! It's time to conquer Earth!
Now hold on with the Stellaris footage, davo - It clearly states that those are *Human* Rights
I thought I just forgot about davo_'s uploads after the last one I saw but nah, bro was just gone for 2 years.
davo_ finally remembered his password
Welcome back king
glad to see the FIFA mercenaries haven't gotten you.
yet.
I was a war criminal way before I ever touched video games.
Yoooooo welcome back!
Thank you Señor Gurney 🫡
And remember he’s Australian, so he knows what he’s talking about.

For me it's always so boring to be sane and reasonable i wanna be evil and fucked up and line my own pockets with the souls of orphans
also holy shit you're alive
Great video, see you in another 2 years
Took you long enough, now where's the damned Witcher 3 video?!

Aww i missed you wooper boy.
i want to be obama so i can play call of doodyac130 mission irl
This is a great video, but I wonder if it is in itself a warcrime to not include Spec Ops: The Line when talking about video games about war crimes
HE LIVES
"Shoulda just played Rimworld, Obama"
Wow.
What's the game at 1:39? Looks really interesting.
That would be Going Medieval my friend
@@davo_ Thank you sir!
HE RETURNS, good to have you back!
