If you want to tell jokes about killing jews do it in a comedy club or do it amongst friends in private. When Disney is paying you a fortune to market their shit to a wide audience maybe keep the "gas the kikes" jokes to yourself. His audience is fucking 12 year olds. If I go to a comedy club and see jokes about hitler I'm not going to complain but if my son's daycare is telling him oven jokes I'm going to be pissed. No matter which way you swing it you shouldn't be making these jokes to 12 year olds and anyone who does is slimy as fuck. They're not mature enough to differentiate what's appropriate.
He plays hyper violent video games. He got big doing a lot of horror games. Like extreme gore and nudity and profanity. If your kids is watching his channel, and this is how you find out there is mature themes on his channel, then you're a failure as a parent and it's way to late to be flipping about him being the problem.
we can at least agree that if you're being paid a lot of money by a company that is family-friendly and has apocryphal ties to Antisemitism, it's pretty goddamn stupid to make jew jokes
true, but that's only a concern if he's dead set on keeping his contract with disney.
if you watch the video he seems more concerned with the media slander than with him losing his ties with disney. I don't think he even mentions disney tbh.
I think he meant that the "Kill all the jews" joke was not the joke itself, but part of a video he made on some website where you pay people to say stuff, and the idea was "People will say anything for 5 dollars."
The idea itself was bad and got the guys who did it in trouble (they had no idea what they were saying.) he admitted it was bad, but the whole point was that it was something horrible to say and how dumb the website was.
this is just ignorance to the circumstances. Disney doesnt sponsor him, pewdiepie doesnt advertise their products. Disney owns maker studious, a studio partnered with multiple youtube stars including idubbbz, someone who has no issue saying nigger, faggot, cunt, etc. The only reason they dropped pewdiepie was pressure from the media. Nobody was outraged when the video came out
his audience also isnt 12 year olds that come for the family friendly content. His channel isn't a network for kids, that's obvious. He's made edgy and generally R rated jokes for years now. Do 12 year olds watch filthy frank and idubbbz? Probably. Should they start censoring themselves ? Nope
That dig on those "journalists" was pretty good. Imagine being at WSJ and your job is to wade through a Youtubers channel to find things to take out of context.
So he is actually a Nazi? I find that hard to believe. I also don't give a fuck, but the fact that WSJ did enough to make an article about it would be hilarious if it wasn't so pathetic.
He's not a nazi. Just your typical low effort edgy meme spouter. Given the scope and impact of his videos it doesn't seem pathetic to be covering them though I will admit I'd probably kill myself if I ever ended up in a career where watching tween YouTube was required.
If pewdiepie is edgy then that word has lost all meaning. Anthony Jeselnik is edgy, because his punch lines rely almost entirely on the fact that they're undeniably offensive and shocking. If you take away the edge they're literally no longer jokes. The youtube swede is just a guy who makes mediocre jokes, some of which happen to mention Hitler. In their proper context most of them are not even intended to be offensive or shocking.
The Nazi imagery was actually used to make fun of articles like that, in both the sense that he was using it to call them Nazis and poke fun at the fact that he had already been labeled a racist before. The kill all jews thing also included " subscribe to keemstar", which was making fun of the fact that keem had been caught saying some racist stuff on streams.
One day my mom was like, "You're on the internet. Who is this Pewdiepie? and I was like, "Fuck if know."
Didn't care then, don't care now. Dude cries about "main stream media" and is taking a cue from Donjald Trimp (alternative-Swedish for the word "President"). PDP also have stupid tattoos. I thought Swedes were good at design.
Yeah, there were people in KiA talking about how they are fans of his now. Between them and ghazi whoever manages to convince the other that breathing is SJW/Anti-SJW is going to win.
What a whiny bitch: "boo hoo, the media is mean to me, they only care about the money, they don't recognize me for my genius of being able to talk in an annoying voice and play vidya poorly at the same time!"
Not really sure what your point is? I didn't say you had to like what he did. Again, it's the same as people making toys for kids. They found a market, and are catering to it.
He knows he can get views if he acts like a fool and he takes advantage of that, and has managed to become one of the biggest internet personalities as a result.
He's happy making millions off his work, his audience is happy getting videos that they want, and for people that don't find his videos appealing, well, literally nothing is forcing them to watch his channel. I'm really not sure what the problem is.
Disney doesn't give a shit about idubbbz just yet because that dude is far smaller. Pewdiepie was heavily promoted, when he moved to 'edgier' material it was just a matter of time before he took some hits. (also... hasn't he faded a bit from his peak view numbers?)
This could just be an excuse to dump an expensive talent at an opportune moment
hey youre telling me the media is hilariously shit and makes shit up about people being nazis/sexist/racist/whatever for clickbait because they have no morals whatsoever?
people could have some real fun by turning pewds into a hate symbol like they did with ben garrison and pepe. you could essentially destroy his career with memes. he pretty looks like one of those people you see (totally not gay and brown) neo nazis posting for "white beauty" shit. some fake quotes and photoshop could go a long way.
"53 MILLION CHILDREN ARE WATCHING A NEO NAZI ON YOUTUBE??? WHY HAVEN'T I HEARD OF THIS???!?!?"
"I CAN'T BELIEVE LITTLE JIMMY IS WATCHING THIS"
"HOW COULD YOUTUBE ALLOW THIS???"
the best part would be that he would probably quit if it gets bad enough. he's already starting to buckle under this pressure and i couldn't see him lasting under that shitstorm. or, hell, he could lose his fucking mind and play along with it. either way the resulting events would be very entertaining.
I actually still don't know now. The comments were sometimes off putting. Like if there's drama on a subreddit I go to the comments are just saying everyone there is an overweight unfunny white child. And they're right.
Let me first start off by saying I see myself a liberal. I supported Clinton this past election. I knew the left was bad, but I thought you guys were so much worse. After Trump won, I saw how my fellow lefties act. I saw them verbally attack a Hispanic friend of mine who supports Trump, I saw them riot and lift the taboo on political violence. These people will not change. The smears on Pewdiepie was the last straw. These people are authoritarian. I may disagree with you all on many issues, but these people MUST lose. You've got my support.
Who are "these people"? I swear to god i am getting tired of people talking about liberals (and conservatives) like they are some hive-mind entity and everyone is responsible for everyone's actions. Just stick to your own beliefs

Funny how people always try to demean what Pewdiepie and other similar personalities do. I wonder what it is. Jealousy? Ignorance?
Yes, he does stupid shit. And he became very successful catering to his particular audience. It's stupid to think that he has no talent.
