Almost like a... NPC
The right is literally a projector.
You know as well as everyone else that he most likely only set up a secondary Twitter for following his friends.
It's way too easy of a solution for him
Good video just dropped from Peter Coffin where he outlines things we've tied to get across here. That this isn't just about PDP but about everyone with a platform and even those without. That this is about a system that we either can work to change or not:
Having never seen his content (his online name made him an instant ignore), it's always fascinating to me to see threads about him balloon to many thousands of posts.
I can only take it to mean that many Era posters grew up on his content or some such.

There's actually a lot of posters on here playing defense for PDP that at least claim they don't watch or don't like him.
No way. Every person defending PDP in this thread has started with the words "I am not a fan of PDP but..."
They wouldnt just lie.
PDP and various other crap that younger generations are into actively make people stupider.
YouTube and social media bullshit is terrible for impressionable youth. Glad I wasn't growing up in a time like this.
I think parents should really monitor what their kids watch to make sure they're not under the influence of complete dipshits like PDP and Logan Paul.

Don't expect much, they were pretty happy to forget about how TQHN promoted a terrorist recruitment site.
one would think that making that statement would be a piece of cake. but here we are.
even if he did it, people will still claim it isnt enough.
i mean he clearly knows what base he is courting, he is not an idiot. maybe he doesnt subscribe to those ideologies (and this is being generous) but he knows his base.
if he happen to apologize a very chunk of his following will probably be offended that he betrayed them or that he broke down.
honestly he cant win right now, there is no way the doesnt receives a big fucking backslash, let it come from the right or the left.
but i think, the for his own sake and integrity, he needs to offer an apology.
At this point, he has no one to blame but himself.
He courted that viewership and was sufficiently warned about it.
He's in the position he is by his own choosing.
yep
if i was him i would apologize and dissapear into the mountains with marzia never to return again
To be fair if we were him we wouldn't have courted nazis with our platform to begin with.
This. I actually decided to unsub to H3H3 before the Shooting because of his "subscribe to PDP for vengeance" video that became so poorly timed. When I did I also looked at his twitter and saw that the fan-base he cultivated was mad at him from saying MJ is a pedo. Its clear the kind of people stuck with him.
the worst thing about all this, isnt that him promotes all these ideas and stuff,
it is that he is the average dude.
he is really the average dude, almost all of them think like this, it's not that they are bad people per se or at least they dont see themselves as bad people, but they really dont realize how harmful their views are.
and im talking about the average dude, not neo nazi alt right scum.
They even called up MATPAT, one of the PDP apologists who thinks he's persecuted by the mainstream media.
Fuck that guy.
Where do you think neonazi alt right scum come from?
They're average dudes who fall down the rabid hole.
People who join cults, whether your average doomsday cult or ISIS or alt rights are just deluded shitheads who don't think too much about who they are hurting and when confronted with the horrible stuffs they do WILL absolutely try to skirt consequences.
That's why I don't care about their contrition, they just want out of the responsibility their actions will bring them.
Well they're too stupid to pull a Sackler and just sell death while avoiding all media contact.
Honestly, the greatest defenders of bigotry are probably not the ones that are frothing at the mouth with hatred of others, but people who are so selfish, apathetic, and petty that they can be fully aware that others are being thrown under the bus for their benefit and don't actively give a shit.
Him and his Third Reich pals clearly forgot that screen captures are a thing.
The thing that worries me the most about the Stadia announcement is that it really enables a person like PDP to engage even more with his fans, get them more invested in him as a person, and grow his brand.
I was holding my breath worried that Google would bring him on stage or show him in a video to promote it. They are still giving him a platform after all this time with no one really holding him accountable to the things he says or puts out into the world. To give a person like that even more ability to grow their platform and solidify their cult of personality only makes them more untouchable, which is troublesome.

I expect a "I did what they wanted and they're still mad at me"-respond from him to paint anyone against him as evil. his fanbase will do the rest...
Yup, this is what really scares me about it.
Trying to "connect" fans with streamers even more, without any acknowledgement of how they need to be more accountable for who's building an audience on their platform, or of the issues around gaming on YouTube in general.
That assist feature feels like yet another thing that will algorithimically direct people to watch initially fine seeming but actually vile YouTubers.
Not only that, but with influencer culture growing in it's role in the industry (I could just look at Epic with their store and Fortnite as well as with EA and Apex Legends), you are giving an influential gamer like PDP even more money and power with even less accountability, because as it is now, a publisher doesn't take responsibility for the views of a person playing their game, nor does a streamer endorse everything involving a game that they play, whether there was money exchanged for the person to play their game or not. Giving someone like PDP and even more pivotal role in this new gaming shift means he's not just fading away any time soon. He's solidifying his spot because YouTube and Google is giving him more tools to do so.
The media doesn't care about white supremacy and even when they do mention it, they are very soft handed with them. The media struggles to accept that a white person can be a terrorist but are quick to assign that label had the person not been white.
So, Pewdiepie's subreddit just banned hate speech (Yes, hate speech was allowed on the sub prior to the terrorist attack).
The reactions to it were interesting, to say the least.

Maybe it's just what they attract? It's really hard to tell, in the end the tragedy remains the same.
A charitable reading could be that in a way he's acknowledging that his content can have negative influences on people, so he's removing it.
If I was a creator and anything like that happened, I'd definitely delete everything, EXPECIALLY I felt innocent.
It's great to have a place where these cunts all congregate.So, Pewdiepie's subreddit just banned hate speech (Yes, hate speech was allowed on the sub prior to the terrorist attack).

He's a coward, it has nothing to do with innocence or denouncing his old beliefs. He's afraid.
I have no doubt that a large chunk of first time 4chan visitors are just weebs following anime boobs to their source.
But they are just harmless jokes! Lighten up! Clearly no one is being hurt here!
