DWQA QuestionsCategory: QuestionsAm I responsible for others seeing inappropriate content in a game I promote?
Sayed Mohammad Ali Mosavi asked 5 months ago

I have a YouTube channel where I publish videos of digital games, and my focus is only on gameplay and in-game challenges, without showing inappropriate content.
There is a specific game that I intend to make a video about. The gameplay itself does not include inappropriate characters or unethical content, and I have decided to completely remove and not show any promotional pages or images that include female characters with insufficient covering in my video.
However, the game itself (outside of my video) has a loading screen image in which female characters are shown with hair visible, although there is no kind of sexual or explicit display in it.
People who become interested in the game after watching my video may see this image when they run the game themselves.
My question is this:
If I deliberately and carefully remove these images from my content, will there still be any religious responsibility (sin) on me for indirectly encouraging others to try this game, knowing that they might later see such images themselves? Or is my responsibility limited only to what I intentionally show and choose to present?
