remorse is not something i associate with this man
Did he delete this tweet?
If someone says your name just before doing an unforgivable act that they want everybody in the world talking about, yeah, I think you had something to do with it.

That guy is REALLY deplorable and it seems he's trying to appeal to pewdiepies fan base , trying to get a couple new followers by tweeting that. Fucking GROSS. He really needs to be de-platformed too.
I really don't like this logic. It the same logic people use when someone commits terrorist attack in the name of religion and others come and commending all those that fellow that religion and tell them they must take responsibility for it.

He might have, I'm pretty sure I saw it when I was looking at his actual timeline at the time though.
Look again, I missed the best one and had to edit it in.
Whether or not the shooter was an actual fan of Pewdiepie or was just trying to start shit is irrelevant compared to the larger point that Pewdiepie has given zero shits about pushing alt-right ideologies onto his fanbase; some of which are kids who don't know any better. And this shooting, in addition to many other recent shootings and bomb threats, have come because the alt-right have become emboldened.
He needs to condemn the alt-right, condemn bigotry, and stop pushing assholes like Shapiro on his videos. Otherwise he hasn't learned shit from this.

No this isn't what the thread is about. He just needed to address more about it than giving a basic response and that's it.
These people really make it too damn easy to parse apart the dog whistles.
PDP could do a lot by condemning the hateful thoughts behind these actions, not just the actions themselves. Especially since he has a younger audience that looks up to him.
I'm sure a lot of people will outwardly (and rightfully ofc) condemn these killings. But I know there are people who condemn the killings who also think shit like Muslims are trying to invade countries. The thoughts need to be called out as well.

User Banned (2 Weeks): trolling in a sensitive thread
Man, it's really interesting when ResetEra emulates the Twitch Chat. The whole forum becomes almost an entity that has a single opinion.
Could this not be the start of his road to redemption. Yes I know I'm being naïve and his not going to change but I gotta believe people can change.
The very least this multimillionaire shithead could do is donate to the families of those affected.
Thoughts and prayers, y'all.

Fucking christ, did he seriously tweet that?just going to keep on posting this

Go on? Elaborate.
So are you just gonna buzz around like an annoying fly? Or say something of actual substance?
It's weird because you can clearly tell he's not being serious when he says Spyro 3 taught him about ethno-nationalism so I do think there is some intentional misdirection in the manifesto here, but where exactly I'm not sure. And like you said, that account is likely cherry picking stuff so the right looks better. That being said, I do believe PDP and other right wing outlets foster hate and need to realize or start caring that their words and actions embolden racists and nationalists.
You're probably right about this but I'm going to give him a day or two to collect his thoughts before passing my final judgment. I know I'd want at least that much time to collect myself if I was in that position. If he posts anything besides a heartfelt introspection and a promise to do better than I'm officially on the hate train.
I posted a little about what PewDiePie's done here:
And I don't even really follow the guy. I inevitably only hear about something stupid he's done, which leads people to tell me about a bunch of other stupid things he's done in the meantime that I've missed.
After all of that and refusing the learn, why would he learn now? What's special about this case? It's not even the first case of violence linked to white supremacy he's talked about; he basically went "oh no i didn't know nazis were real" following the Charlesville riots.
Hilariously trying to make him a victim. I'm not surprised but disgusted all the same.

Fair enough, I just believe in these situation that the killer bears all the blame. Obviously there are precipitating factors but the blame is 100% on the preparator. But that's just my opinion.
I'm obviously not in their position, but if I was either a friend or family member of the victims effected by this shooting I wouldn't want a damn cent of PDP's blood money. It'd be like getting bought off.
Then fucking say it instead of beating around the bush with passive aggressive nonsense.
I think his kind are physically incapable of that. Or anything else requiring a spine.
He'll get banned, post a pic on whatever trashy backwater corner of the internet he wants to impress, and then be forgotten by both us and the people he's so desperate to get approval from.
You can't distance yourself from something you helped normalized and even had some "lolz" with. Fuck you, Pewdieshits.
Nahh, you said plenty. But you're more than welcome to elaborate, or are you one of those people who think if they said what they really meant they'd be banned?
No, shit like this comes from broken systematic bullshit. The killers are not the only ones at fault here - it goes all the way up the chain of everyone who enables right-wing, white supremacy radicalization and pushes that fucked up ideology, and that includes this shitty Youtuber who openly courts alt-right nazi fuckstains. None of this is in a vacuum.
