One thing I've realized over the past few years is that rules aren't for punishing rule-breakers, they are for punishing trouble-makers. This video was shown to be only for adults and is 100% fair use but it's trouble for YouTube because it shows that it can be a place for good animation and in opposition to established entertainment like nickelodeon. This is bad for Youtube so they get rid of the trouble-maker by accusing them of breaking rules that best case scenario are incredibly vague. I've seen plenty of videos calling out some of the most popular Youtube channels for things like click bait, content recycling, and even giving people watching advice to consume bleach. These aren't problems for Youtube because viewer satisfaction isn't what matters it's watch time, and if some people get poisoned they can just pull the old "we can't possibly expect to monitor the whole site" excuse despite the offending channel being like the 5th most subscribed on Youtube.
