PewDiePie attempts to distance himself from Christchurch Mosque shooter who pledged support (READ THREADMARKS)

He's a dirtbag too. Not on the level of the others though.
Do you guys have examples? I watched H3H3 videos for years, along with Ethan And Hila videos. Never saw anything actually offensive or that could be conflated with alt-right or white supremacist ideologies.
The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is there is a video about a woman complaining about air conditioning (which might be what Quote is referring to) - but that's a funny video and isn't mean-spirited, or shitty, or alt-right, etc...
A lot of these people sit on these accounts for months.
If we're talking minimum post account, they'll just shit post or low effort post all over the site just to hit the minimum and that would actually be worse for the overall forum.
I haven't watched him in years but I do know he's had Jordan Peterson on his podcast a couple times.
There was the Wall Street Journal thing as well, where he stanchly became similar to PDP when it came to the "Media", and his podcast regularly having shitheels on as guests
it's over on the old forum, haven't kept up with this shit since then and don't plan to. i just know he always flirts with the alt-right
Not to split hairs, but I was told the heil salute was misrepresented and it was actually a picture of him pointing at something on his screen. Does anyone have a video of this?
Ethan is just a smarter, more popular version of Boogie
He's an opportunist to the alt-right scene, but doesn't usually make an ass of himself on social media like Boogie does
I remember back when Cracked had a forum they had a troll that created literally thousands of accounts in order to send the writers threats. Some people have incredible monomania.
'He's from sweden', hadn't heard that one in a while. Going back to the classics i see.
And bonus points for the ableism. Good show.
Read.the.threadmarks.
I like how in your attempt to calmly present us as the bad guys and PewDiePie as a poor fool, you still can't help but drop an ableist slur.
I think he meant: "In no way do I condone his actions"
It's like a bulleted list of people the alt-right report my tweets to.Here, have a slightly more comprehensive list, put together by yours truly:
Wish we could go back to the quality of trolls we had earlier in the thread. These new ones are giving up the game in the first sentence!
I only have 1 post on this forum whose rules I seem incredibly ignorant on and I may have never met PDP but I've watched a lot of his videos for a few years and I'm sure because he's funny and foreign that he can't be a bad person. You're all the bad people for not letting him whistle at dogs or laugh at memes!
'i've been watching him since 2012' and 'he doesn't at times know the consequences of his actions and words'
you think it's acceptable to not learn this very basic thing over the 7 years you've been watching him?
you want us to believe this? try harder.

Let me cast my leftist hatred and cultural marxism aside so we can engage in an intellectual debate about the positives of ethno-nationalism and why racist memes are the best thing since dogs learned to whistle!
I was debating with myself whether to ask you, but have you considered writing a thing about PewDiePie's history of association with white nationalists, normalization of their rhetoric, his misogynistic comments, and such? I feel like this the time to push for a conversation about these things, but I also understand that this is a hornet's nest.
I'll ask jschreier the same question as well.
Haha. Wow. I had glossed over that.
So many people tripping themselves up trying to defend PDP.
I don't even get the point. Once a thread hits double digit pages it isn't worth your time trying to derail the topic.
If you want white supremacy to spread you can only hope the sentiment is contained in here and doesn't hit reddit or twitter.
Going by your post history, you're Muslim? If that's the case, then you really remind me of this black kid defending Pewdiepie when he used the N word (starting @8:58):
oh man there are so many words that are Instant identifiers of people you need to ignore
SJW
Feminist
Socialist
marxist
cuck
globalist
chad/stacy
NPC
Regressive
safe space
snowflake
triggered
It's being considered. It's a bit of a tough thing with so many shitty people irons in the fire right now and GDC coming up, which means my entire week is booked, but it's a thing I'm thinking about. Sadly most of the audience just straight up doesn't consider "this person plays games and says or does bad things" to be relevant to gaming news.
That's the thing, these defenders seem to think (or pretend) that this clown deserves to get a free pass because he's just a foreign edgelord even though at, what, 29 years old & over a half decade of being "famous" he still needs to apologize every few months for doing something racist or bigoted or signal boosting a racist or a bigot. Then they pretend we're the irrational ones because we don't accept his numerous apologies when the issue is that he's had to apologize so often for this kind of shit.
Virtue signaling should be added to the list. The entire premise behind that as a pejorative is as mind boggling as SJW. Decrying the act of promoting virtues or justice...
People who attach an unhealthy amount of their personal identity to a celebrity, no matter the field or the size, will feel any attack on that celebrity as an attack on themselves.
The thing I never understand is, if you wanna talk about videogame AND also sympathize with the alt-right or hate women or whatever, why come here? Almost every other game forum has your back. Just stirring the pot I guess? But even then there are sites that are much easier to get on to haha
Makes sense, thanks for responding.
Just in you do end up going through with it, I'd like to remind you of his feud with Alinity, which seems like it contains the most damning evidence that he actually shares/utilizes beliefs with this sphere and doesn't just hang around with them for attention or for shits and giggles.
counterpoint: pdp is a racist and white supremacist and only doesn't go full 1488 because he wants to retain some amount of plausible deniability while he leads an entire generation of impressionable youth into full fascism
OP
OP
i keep seeing this reddit post pop up in "defense" of pewdiepie
like, its complete nonsense, right?
edit: should probably clarify; i want to either debunk this or at least have something to say in response to it because
1) finding the manifesto at all to even see if there's a source to this claim is hard
2) it is complete nonsense. the problem is it is an easy way to reframe the entire pewdiepie argument as something that the terrorist wants and thats bad
3) even if it was completely true, pewdiepie should still be held somewhat responsible as he never bothered to distance himself away from the alt-right
Fuck these stupid Reddit motherfuckers. He gives himself away putting "problematic" in quotes. As if it's a big conspiracy and PDP is actually a great person.
he is a cis white man on the internet with an audience
The same reason many straight white men enter panic mode once something is not entirely about them over everyone else. These losers could have 99% of the internet pandering exclusively to them but once a single site tries to be welcoming to everybody else as well as them they lose their shit and throw a hissy fit. They are literally selfish and ignorant children, many of them trapped in adult bodies.
The NYT has an article that was posted a day ago.

Yeah, that's a really good way of framing it. It's a space where marginalized folks are welcome so of course it gets lashed out at for the same reasons people are for just existing
All those pass racist mistakes were fake mistakes, they don't count. I'm willing to bet you PDP fans will give him a mulligan for his next "mistake" and the one after that, and even more after that.
