I used to really like his content when he was on Kindafunny and before on IGN. But it's become clearer and clearer that he either purposely defends people like pewdiepie, Ben Shapiro, Paul Ryan because he agrees with their viewpoints. Or he's a moron who doesn't understand that the shit that they say influences a shit ton of people. I don't remember him always being a shit lord but maybe he was always this way and I never noticed.

PewDiePie does not realize that his infinite platform gives him a moral responsibility to use his power wisely. That, or he doesn't care.

Always been a shit stain. I think he was being protected by IGN's corporate image, but his personality has always been irredeemable.

Man, it's really interesting when ResetEra emulates the Twitch Chat. The whole forum becomes almost an entity that has a single opinion.

So you're one of those people who desperately want to stand out by having an different opinion and thus would even go so far as to support people like Pewdiepie who seem to struggle to denounce nazis and white supremecist, but has no problems at all to support their "jokes" and memes huh?

Get the fuck outta here with that trash attitude, come back after growing up

And he didn't feel "absolutely sickened" when people told him he was linking white nationalists, instead he rolled with the narrative of overreaction.

This guy is just way too toxic and he thrives because of it. He's not going to change and I doubt he'll condemn any of the ideological problems involved here. I hope his channel dies soon.

God Felix and Colin are garbage people.

I am not gonna check but I imagine known ant enthusiast and disgraced game journalist Ian Miles Cheong has probably come to Pewds defense.

Oh he's always been that way. I used to watch him on Kinda Funny, never on ign, but on Kinda Funny he always held some highly unintelligent opinions regarding quite a few subjects. He's the type of person that always flaunted his history focused education and convinced his followers he knew what he was talking about but I always saw right through him. Just like pewdiepie, he's garnered and groomed some truly alt right shit bags as followers. I was SO glad when Greg Miller ,and whoever else made the call , kicked his ass out of their show and separated themselves from him.

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.
A did say there were precipitating factors, Upbringing, environment, whether someone was abused etc. I acknowledge it's everything doesn't happen in a vacuum. I'm just wondering do you accept that the same logic can be used when the preparator is a religious zealot for example.

You spend years catering to these people and cultivating their interest in your channel, and when one of these psychos goes and does what they always say they're gonna do, you try to wash your hands clean of this?

Fuck off, Felix. Along with everyone who's trying to rationalize, defend and normalize this shit.

What about these other, unrelated things, though?

God, that point just makes me sad. Folk like PewDiePie will never grow up, meanwhile Ian Miles Cheong proves you can certainly grow down.

There are too many influencers out there who have forgotten the definition of that word. I sincerely hope Felix has learned the power of his words and his actions.

Lots of fucking alt right cowards in this thread defending their shit infested court jester. You all ain't slick coming out of the wood work trying to act like you have something insightful and eloquent to say about human behavior and societal expectations/conditioning.

Fucking pathetic.

So now we have shootings streamed online?

PDP is a piece of shit of our own creation. We, as a society, have given him the platform and freedom to spread his poison.
We have made football players into millionaires and we can't accept they haved raped.
Pedophile singers with huge fan bases who deny the truth because they grew up with his songs.
Video game streamers spreading nazism as their political opinions matter...


I'll leave here my worthless advice:
Stop making entertainers your heroes.

I'd also remind that PewDiePie already learned the consequences of his words when he got called out for rape jokes in, what, 2012?

This ain't his first rodeo.

You can't see how someone logic can be turned against them. Please follow the chain of the conversation back. You will see that I'm uncomfortable with this train of thought precisely because of the example I stated.

Watch everyone around him act all confused and beleaguered when yet another round of advertising drops off YouTube.
