So dumb that VAR can’t look at it because it’s a second yellow rather than a straight red. It’s still culminates in a dismissal so the theory should be the same.
It feels like the rules they’ve set up on what they can and can’t check are so arbitrary.
What is the point of VAR? It never seems to be used for the things it actually should be used for and there are still stupid mistakes being made in every game it seems.

They are arbitrary. It's decided certain decisions can be looked at. Others can't.
I suppose it could be argued that all yellow cards should be reviewed by VAR, but that would be extending the scope of re-refereeing quite a lot.

I didn’t suggest that. I suggested reviewing second yellow cards, as they result in a dismissal the same as a straight red.

I know. But yellow card decisions are decisions about whether or not a foul deserves a yellow. 1st or second, there's no difference qualitatively, or in criteria you use to judge it.
So really, I think you have to review none or all, to be fair to all players.

Trouble with that is
a) you end up re-reffing the game
b) it slows the game down further, which no one wants
Not overly fussed with a point
We didn’t show enough before the red which was disappointing
All those attacking players & none of them had a decent game
Game passed us by
