I've been getting those videos about the "sjw agenda" in Captain Marvel for a week :(
The hate Pew and his fans throw at T-series is so problematic. I'm curious if T-series does anything in return? All I've seen are videos of angry white people screaming fuck T-series at some concert, which looks more like a white nationalist rally. It's a bad look considering T-series is a channel that promotes Indian music and all the people who have come out to support Pew against losing the most subscribed channel are white YouTube celebrities.
It feels like a race war and it's sad, because I wouldn't put it past him and his subscribers.
No, yeah, I totally agree that the problem is structural and comes primarily from powerful people (of all varieties.) But I dont think we need the manifesto to point is to ben shapiro, the US republican party, ukip, morally bankrupt youtubers like pdp, etc.
The only reason why these youtubers are defending him is because their livelihoods could be affected by his actions. It's fucking gross.
Gotcha, thank you for answering.
In 2019 we light up and educate our ignorant friends and if that doesn't work stop being their friend!! They might learn something! It's not hard
I just noticed that something interesting happened.
https://www.reddit.com/r/PewdiepieSubmissions/
Pewdiepie shut down his own subreddit, temporarily I assume.
Says a lot about his rabid fanbase that even he himself couldn't trust them to not idolize the terrorist.

Wait, was that a serious question? What was the intent behind that?
If you couldn't already suss out the answer to "if you're a guy who willfully puts his hand in shit are you literally made out of shit?", then I have some follow-up questions.
Totally.
I'm exhausted. I've been reading about all this shit since it happened and my mind is not in a healthy place. At the very least we can express ourselves on era and it feels like a place devoid of blind pdp followers(for the most part). That's the only solace I've found when discussing any of this online.
Yeah, is like we are doing something awful in trying to be decent human beings. I can't even recall right now how many times I've been called out for pushing an "diversity/lgbt agenda", and I'm like "nah men, just trying to be a good person and accept everyone".
Same, no idea why and even got some thumbnails like "POLITICS FREE REVIEW".
Yeah, in indsight, this whole PDP vs T-Series war is ridiculous. It is painted as a fight of the "average Youtuber vs the Big corporations", all while ignoring that PewDiePie is the face of the Youtube corporation itself. This people are not supporting the poor content creator vs the big bad corporation. Felix does not need any kind of help promoting his channel, yet this people don't stop doing it (neither Felix told his rabbid fanbase to chill) and grew bigger than PDP itself. It is so sad to see unfold.

I doubt it was him. Seems like it was the mods trying to avoid even more bad press of idiots prioritizing Felix's image over the 49 dead people.
Remember that time he was on South Park? Like, not parody of him, but the actual, real, flesh & blood dude? Wonder if they're gonna pull that episode from circulation now like Simpsons did with the Michael Jackson episode.
It doesn't matter how many leftist videos I thumbs up, or Jordan Peterson/Ben Sharpiro/etc. videos I click Not Interested on. I am recommended something "anti-SJW", alt-right, misogynistic, or just generally fascist every single time I'm on YouTube. It's a fucking cancer. And the platform is unwilling to do anything about it.
They have directly enabled the radicalization of an entire generation of violent, hateful monsters, willing to kill and die for their heinous views.
Youtube/twitter/facebook
if these three platforms disappear , i guaran fucking tee you there will be a a lot less shitbags on the internet

Do we even know if they're eve going to take out their own MJ themed episodes?
Of course it wasn't the real MJ voicing the character (hell, one of the episodes was about MJ's ghost) but it's not like they condemned him as a pedophile, they joked about it but in the end their narrative was "he's a weird manchild product of the abuse he suffered in his childhood".
Thank you for compiling this, added to threadmarks. This is pretty blatantly damning.
Like if there's anyone still somehow thinking that he's just about "edgy jokes", well, try defending that shit.
Oh he does? In that case, I'd like to believe he told the mods or he himself shut it down to stop his rabid fanbase from being insensitive, but the cynic in me thinks he just wants to stop another potential source of bad press.
I wonder how all these fucks caping for PDP will react when yet another round of advertisers pull out from YouTube
It's infuriating but the same for me. At this point it just makes me mad that the only reaction I can have to a video is not interested.
I'm really feeling the need for a "FUCK OF RECOMMENDING ME ANTI SJW GARBAGE TRASHTUBE" or at least a ban channel from ever appearing in my discovery again.
Oh my god yes, the fucking YouTube algorithm keeps giving me that kind of shit.
"Oh, you're watching a video about 'Murder, She Wrote', why don't you take a look at this video by BELOVED RACIST GAMING ICON JONTRON?!" literally happened to me just last week.

This was in 2013 at Comic-Con San Diego. I was working photography and doing video interviews at a booth he was signing autographs at. I had no idea who he was at the time, I introduced myself and said my name, he didn't say his back (likely assumed I knew of him) and was just a smug asshole when I tried to talk to him. Just had this repellent superiority factor with the other people at the booth that of course goes away the moment a fan comes up to him. I've met dozens of people just like him and worse in LA, but its hilarious seeing how disingenuous his act is on Twitter and YouTube.
If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it's probably just a dumb, innocent manchild who doesn't know any better, guys. /rolls eyes
Honestly. And if you click on the video and downvote it, that still counts as engagement so they'll show you even more.
We should have backed fucking Vimeo.
this is me but ERA isn't helping either, lot of people here are just as dense
For way too long the right has been allowed to spew straight up lies and have spent decades radicalizing people on the right.
Hate speech is not free speech and cunts like shapiro, candace owen, etc should be stopped before more internet radicalized terrorists injure/kill innocent people.
Yep. The real scourge is the rise of anti-PC and anti-"SJW" communities. We're not more easily offended. We're just louder because we have the same tools that people who spread bigotry do. We have the opportunity to say the truth and the true nemesis of our progress isn't our anger or emotions or our lack of "civility" but apathy and the excusing or disguising of hate speech as some how reasonable.
It's a good opportunity to post this video again:
YT and so many tech companies hide behind the algorithm and the algorithm is boosting true vileness into ever computer screen, TV and phone across the world.
I fucking hate nazis and pewdiepie is a stupid internet personality, but blaming him for the other idiot that did the shooting is like saying that marilyn manson is responsible for columbine. Or saying that violent video games create mass shooters. I get it, everybody hates the guy, he did a lot of stupid shit, but turning this fucking tragedy into another circle-jerk about him is incredibly disrespectful towards the people that lost their lives today.
Really. Can't believe he has a "don't tread on me" avatar. For fuck sakes.

Actually, its incredibly disrespectful to not analyze where this shooting came from, and PDP is one of many ingredients that led to it. So take your "hopes and prayers"-equivalent bullshit to a different fucking forum that likes burying its head in the sand or outright lying about the alt-right.
I'm sorry :(
I hope you, at the very least , can express your thoughts through this discourse without feeling like you're falling on deaf ears. Even if I'm not responding to every comment I've read everything and agree with you. I believe a lot of era members are on the same side here.
This fucking guy. I don't really follow this guy or comment much if at all on PDP threads, but I'm just sick of seeing this guy's name now. Like first one of his fans defaces a WW2 memorial and now another one shoots up a Mosque.
If this guy was serious about being sorry, he should reflect and stop promoting far right individuals. Even if he's not a far right person, he should try to alienate these fans instead of exploiting them for monetary gain.

If only this had been addressed in the eighteen pages like thirty other times already...
I think I already wrote this three times on this thread but, this is not blaming PDP on what happened, and if you care about the other details, on EtcetERA you can find a general thread about the situation. What is being discussed here is how people like PewDiePie and the Alt-Right enables hate speech/white supremacy and his spreading while doing next to nothing about it, making all this stuff normalized under the "is just memes" banner.
But then other Silicon Valley platforms will rise up and take their place but won't want any accountability either. Just rely on our lord and saviour algorithm to save us from ourselves.
it's whatever man, the world is going to hell anyways
last 5+ years has been the rise of populism across the entire world, amplified by every dumb piece of shit having a voice on the internet and now here we are
really feels like the tipping point before we cross the point of no return
Literally NOBODY is blaming him for this, but the fact that the person who did this looks up to him and shouted him out before doing this should be MORE than enough for him to step back and realize the horrible influence he is on young people. What would be the harm in him taking a year or two break from the internet and kind of waiting until this cult of personality around him has died down? What would be so bad about that? Him continuing on with his Youtube channel after this is WAY more disrespectful to the victims than any kind of discussion about his influence will ever be.
If you think that this shooting came from some stupid thing that pewdiepie, that idiot, did, then i'm sorry, my friend, but you're wrong. Usually, these cases are much deeper than some stupid alt-right bullshit and have more to do with mental health and social issues. It's really easy to pin the blame on whatever the fuck is easiest in your little circle, though. And I'm not saying the guy isn't a problem, he did some horrendous shit in the last couple of years. And nationalism is this generation's worst sickness, but this thread won't fix that and I restate the fact that it's really disrespectful for everybody that died.
It's true. Don't know what country you reside in, I'm American, but it's fucked everywhere as far as I can tell. I don't even see a glimpse of it getting better before it gets even worse. I've felt especially helpless lately watching it all go to hell .

Read the fucking threadmarks and educate yourself. You fucking fools just love coming into a room without knowing a single fucking thing and just spouting off. You're not doing anything for the victims.
