Fan-made Splatoon short supposedly aimed at children hides suicide mention, gets called out by CBS News

GN Version 5.0

The above clip appeared in a video that targeted children through YouTube and YouTube Kids. The feature was being recommended in sidebar playlists for young children, and unfortunately it's anything but safe for kids.

The video includes Splatoon characters, but obviously wasn't created by Nintendo. One segment has Filthy Frank making a "joke" about suicide, and it seems the intention was to sneak this kind of messaging in front of children. Thankfully the video has since been removed, most likely prompted by a CBS News report.

Thanks to Andreslop24 for the heads up.
