Actually I missed this one, I just knew notch was a piece of shit. Had to google "j-woke", what in the actual f is happening in this world.
lolol
You're right, but he has endorsed Stefan Molyneux in the past.
I mean, on its own perhaps it isn't, but given the fact he's following basically the entire rogues gallery of alt-right and anti-SJW figureheads, and ALSO shares and endorses their content, and ALSO collaborates with them on videos, and ALSO keeps making racist 'jokes'.
When are the hints enough, exactly?
if literal white supremacists are in the "i dont agree with them, but i follow them to see their ideas" category for you there might be some things you want to rethink.
I brought up how Pewdiepie has been covered in the news the past years about how he continue to radicalize people regarding the terrorism and my friends went full defensive for Pewdiepie, wtf??? This shit absolutely sucks, fuck Pewdiepie and fuck everything

Without going into the fact that PDP also endorses people like Jordan Peterson, the situation is not absent from context. PDP follows these people AND he also thinks making fun of the genocide of Jews is a clever joke. PDP follows these people AND disregards the arguments of marginalized people and doubles down on his stance that the media is attacking him for no reason. PDP both follows these people AND behaves in the exact ways they both teach to others and act like themselves.

She basically made a 180 and began preaching Men's Rights Activist rhetoric. Along with trading in the language of and rubbing elbows with alt-right and MRA leaders:
The Establishment
Medium

LMFAO
PDP follows practically the entire white Supremacy squad, but we're supposed to believe he holds none of their ideals
Do people not know what dog whistles are?
She used to be a progressive feminist, but a few years back, she made a complete turn-around and became an extremely vile alt-right supporter (she said herself she "red-pilled"), and also has done some pretty transphobic shit.
To all the people trying to use Joker, Rick and Morty, Fight Club or even violent video games as a scapegoat for why PewdiePie isn't responsible for the message of his content like me just add this
Those are fictional characters with no real agency or agenda that they push daily.
Felix is a real person. With agency and free will who has cultivated his fan base FOR YEARS.

Wait... Is that new? Is that real? Is he literally in a mass shooter disguise ONE FUCKING DAY after someone supported him and then killed more than 40 people?it's just ebic memes bro
reminder this is now deleted
Hard to think how much I watch his gameplay videos of him many years ago, especially him playing horror games.
The higher the level of celebrity and influence, the higher the burden of responsibility and awareness of that influence should be, it should increase even more depending on the age of the audience.
Imagine this peepee guy would be the figurehead of Islamic terrorist instead of Christian, he would be put in Guantanamo immediately, without any trial and especially without any outcries on the net about being too harsh and radical on this poor, poor hatemonger.
My favourite about this is that when it's a (assumed) muslim terror attack, the right wingers are crying for details on the shooter, and spin conspiracy theories as to why the police hasn't released a list of suspects yet, claiming they're protecting the muslim shooter or whatever.
But now that it's a clear white supremacist terror attack, they react with "Don't say his name, don't show his face, don't share his manifesto" - because that would mean their ideology and hatemongering would get exposed to be what drove this attack.
Here, have a slightly more comprehensive list, put together by yours truly:
and there it is.
Not to defend pewdiepie but I was surprised to see the above statement in the OP while no other news outlet reported on it as such, so I took the effort to verify it. There is no such statement in the manifesto, pewdiepie is not even mentioned, Candace Owens is, but he did not took inspiration from her but claims she radicalised him. He truly took inspiration from Breivik.
Posted in the Etcetera thread is an interesting opinion piece about the above (although personally I could not care less why these sick individuals did this): https://www.bellingcat.com/news/res...rrorism-and-the-christchurch-mosque-massacre/
Edit: To make clear I am not interested in the motives of these individuals to do this, but I understand the importance of knowing it, and in a broader sense the environment that causes these thoughts to thrive and being a feeding ground for these believes. For example some of the people in power elected by millions using fear against immigration and people of a particular believe could strengthen these extremists in their believes and see it as truth.

Top to bottom the alt-right is filled to the brim with the least self-aware and most delusional people to walk the planet. Contrapoints actually had a video on Pronouns that featured a "debate" between Blaire and Shapiro.
Mmm yeah, so Collin is truly a piece of shit. They all pretend we're overreacting while the libertarians, Republicans, alt right, far right, every manner of anti-mulicultural trash fly a Trump banner uniting to defend sick behavior and now even terrorism. Their ALL the problem.
How come the white supremacy hand gesture still isn't an indictable offence? Just look at this mass murderer, showing to whom he belongs...

He was mosaic 'ed into the collective face of white indifference, his strongest supporter.
More likely the very kids that follow him have simply emigrated to such places, replacing the previous users as they, well, grow up.
It fucks me off how many gaming youtubers buddy up with him like he did nothing...guess it doesn't matter to them that he's responsible for harassment being targeted towards women. You even had one of the guys from Limited Run tweeting sympathetically at Zoe Quinn regarding the shit she's received over the years...while still continuing to reply to AOS on friendly terms.
Put me off HappyConsoleGamer too, well that and tweets he liked of political correctness complaints appearing in my feed

I don't know how fast they can connect alts to main accounts, but I'm looking forward to 5K+ post accounts getting banned and imagining the tears from these idiots thinking their burners would shield them.
Oh is it that small, terrorist?How come the white supremacy hand gesture still isn't an indictable offence? Just look at this mass murderer, showing to whom he belongs...
If it's any consolation, Alphaomegasin hasn't posted a video in a year and a half. He used to upoad that shit daily! Hopefully he's done for good. He's still prolific on Twitter, though.
Aye! Did notice, which is nice. Of course plenty of high profile folks still happy to chat with him on Twitter...
Still, it seems he took down his embarrassing Cuphead video, I guess the jackass who talks big and moans of others being easily slighted got too flustered by Shaun's response :D
Laci has been horrible for a long time now, made a few trans phobic remarks over the years.
Not new, the date it was uploaded was January 10th, though the comments urging him to take it down were more recent.
I've ended up having a chat with some of my group of friends on League of Legends about it and I was of the agreement that regardless of whether PewDiePie intentionally believes in these controversial subjects or just using it to pander to his audience, I think what PewDiePie have fostered in his fanbase for the past several years is extremely toxic.
However this is one of those subjects I can't really bring up without breaking friendships. Already the subject of such a thing brought instant disagreements such as "He did it for the memes" and "Parents should be controlling what the kids are watching. He shouldn't be a role model".
It's like should I just shut up about it and be silently compliant for the sake of friendship or do I fight back against it and bring to myself stress and anxiety as I fight back against those ideals?
It constantly feels like that for me in any gaming community I'm a part of.

If they won't listen to reason then it sounds like you need some new friends.
Quick litmus test for following media personalities: if they ever use "feminism" as a slur (even as a joke unless the joke is that they are idiots for doing so), bail the fuck out.
For me, friendship is blind. Outside of that, I think they are good people, but then again...
If I don't address it or keep quiet, I would be silently complicit and therefore part of the problem.
I don't think you have to keep your mouth shut over personal disagreements between you and your friends. You should be able to voice your opinions with one another, and if you disagreeing with them means you might lose them as friends, then I'd wager you were really only friends on a surface level. No reason for you to feel stressed over keeping your opinions or feelings to yourself.
Well it's easy then. Don't be complicit. Call out bullshit whenever you see it. If that upsets them enough to not be friends with you, then they're probably pretty awful people.
Don't be friends with the alt-right. Don't enable their shit.
So pewdiepie just uploaded a video without any mention of what happened, already laughing, making jokes etc.
The handwaving of issues that happens is really bad, this was a great opportunity for him to denounce this, do everything in his power to expose this evil that is being nurtured in his audience, and personally, if a terrorist namedropped my nickname or something like that, i would never use it again. It would be so traumatic that i don't think i would be able to come back even one year later still using the nickname and joking about it.
So yeah, just ignoring the whole thing is really bad and shows how much he cares
