PewDiePie attempts to distance himself from Christchurch Mosque shooter who pledged support (READ THREADMARKS)
- Thread starter Sinder
- Start date
PDP has continued posting about his subscription battle like nothing happened.
If he actually cared and didn't condone the horrible things people are doing and saying alongside "Subscribe to Pewdiepie" he'd just end it. Let there be no confusion, PDP does not care about the awful things being said and done, he just wants more subscribers. Even if he wasn't a white supremacist (he is) the fact that he clearly doesn't care what people are doing and saying alongside telling people to subscribe says a lot about his character.

Is he going to learn "the hard way"? He just keeps getting more subscribers.
Basically an idiot complaining he was banned and that people where being impolite to PDP with screenshots.
The usual stuffs.
If this keeps gaining publicity and his name is associated with the kinds of people praising him, I believe so.
Seems like PDP has one more thing he can continue to cowardly tip toe around; his fans making Ransomware (Link to EtcetEra topic):
Ben Walker of Dualshockers: "What a ridiculous thread of people. Ashamed to be verified on their platform."
They were banned for this.
Also seems they got extended to a permaban. I'm gonna take a wild guess it had to do with that tweet of his.
Oh I knew about that, was just curious what the tweet was. Thanks anyway,
Just saw this on reddit. Wonder if the kid is one of Pewdiepie's fans who think that sharing the footage with Muslims will help "lighten up their mood a bit".

Uh, I think we have enough confirmed issues with PewDiePie and his fans that we don't need to be taking random images related to the shooting or trauma it's causing people and claiming it's all PewDiePie, tbh.
Bumping this thread again.
PewDiePie uploaded a new video talking about how people/media has been talking about him being racist and how he isn't one.
While he doesn't talk about the Christchurch Mosque shooting, he does talk about almost all other things he's been called and provides a defence for himself.
Check it out.

Haven't watched it yet but I can take a wild stab at "It was just a joke brah" and probably be hitting the mark
To be fair I don't think he's ever forgiven except by people who didn't care in the first place
It's really not an apology video it's just him saying he did some shitty stuff in the past and disagreeing with how he's characterized in general.
Remember how it was immediately followed by him saying "fucking nibber" a dozen times?
I think there should be a rule that it can't be called an apology video if you blame the media for you getting in trouble.
He says in the video "I support getting white supremacy off the platform" and yet people continuously parrot the idea that he will not "take a side"
He said multiple times in the past to "Please don't do anything illegal when it comes to the Subscribe to Pewdipie meme" and yet people in the thread act like he"cowardly tiptoes around things his fans do" (lol) Remember when one of his gazillion fans defaced a memorial and Pewdipie immediately called it out and then donated to the memorial?
He calls himself out numerous times in the video for the terrible edgy jokes that he made 6 years ago. He's addressed these NUMEROUS times as him being in the wrong. People still act like he says "its just a joke bro" which he has never said. He's addressed these complaints multiple times admitting he is wrong.

It's so depressing that the internet is this wonderful place where great creativity can shine from unusual places and this racist, misogynistic, virtue signalling twat is the poster boy of it all.
The fact that he's "friendly" with so many YouTubers always made me think it's a case of keeping your enemies closer cause he can't deal with a big YouTuber calling him out, especially with how much the audience loves the drama and mud slinging. So even YouTubers I like shout him out because they don't want him or his fanbase to turn on them.
I want a amateur video maker to be the number 1 YouTuber but I don't want it to be this asshole.

I think it's an okay video. I still don't like PewDiePie, but he acknowledges he did things wrong.
david duke says those things too.
denouncing racism is something racists do all the time, it's not enough. he needs to be actively and openly anti-racist, which he won't do because he's racist.
Rings a bit hollow when he follows dozens of them on Twitter and invites them for a friendly chat.
Thats literally actively and openly anti-racists. I tried looking up your claim that David Duke says this, and I couldn't find it anywhere. People continuously move the goal post for pewdipie.
First he needs to take responsibility for his actions (which he immediately does and admits when he does wrong)
Then its He needs to take responsibility for the bad things his fans do (which he has done numerous times to the point of even paying out of pocket to fix the terrible things a single fan does like the war memorial incident)
Then he needs to take a stand on white supremacy and tell people the channel is not for them (Which he then does and says fuck racists and fuck white supremacists)
Pewdipie is certainly not a perfect dude. But hes not a white supremacists nor does he advocate for it. He does the exact opposite.
What's your point here?
You appear to be trying to use a video that is several minutes old to negate previous deserved criticism made - and have been making - long before the video.
People used to "continuously parrot" the idea that he wouldn't take a side because for actual years he followed and enabled white supremacists. He only stopped following a bunch of them when people start circulating a picture of his Twitter follow list filled with human garbage. If he took a serious stance against white supremacists in this video, then that is absolutely a new development. Yet you appear to want people to react instantly to this new development?
If Pewdiepie wants the world to accept that he's not a supporter of white supremacist views, then he needs to accept that his reputation is stained with so much shit that there isn't a one-video fix for that. It will be a slow, gradual process that lasts for years, and that's entirely his fault.
Oh yeah, I should post PewDiePie's twitter likes here too, right?
Trash stay trash.
if he's not a white supremacist he's very comfortable around them.
someone with that many nazi fans should be making every effort to drive them away. that he's not doing that speaks volumes to me.
and you can't say i'm moving the goalposts, i've been consistent that simple denunciations of whatever bad thing are totally empty and meaningless. sorry that i feel standards should be quite high for one of the richest and most powerful media figures in the world who happens to have a massive youth audience.
Following white supremacists on Twitter, using racist language and anti Semitic "memes" is not the opposite of advocating white supremacists.
Tell me, considering he has given a platform to the likes of Ben Shapiro, could you point to videos or articles where he has promoted anti racism campaigners?
As aeolist & Stop It said above, there's a big gulf between saying something is wrong and actually acting like it's wrong. People are on PDP's ass because he continues to act in a way counter to what he says. If he actually believed his genocide and N-word "jokes" were wrong it would bring about change. But as pointed out earlier in the thread as well as just above this post, PDP continued to follow and support some of the most influential contemporary bigots around today. The very people who spread the ideology of hate that galvanizes racists, violent and otherwise. It's easy to say shit. It costs nothing to actually say you have principles. It's much harder to live like you do.
He's made numerous videos on this subject over and over again, which people who don't like him don't even bother to watch because they claim all he will say is "its just a joke bro" which he never does. This has got to be at least the fifth video he's done mentioning hes not a white supremacists because people keeping bringing up 5 years old gaffes that hes admitted were wrong of him.
This is another example of hearing what you want to hear. He's making the effort RIGHT NOW. This is prob the 5th video by him addressing his claims and him denying white supremacy. But it doesn't matter because thats not what you want to hear.
Another reason that him saying white supremacists are bad doesn't wash his hands of all of his criticism is that white supremacy is just the tip of the Kjellberg with this guy. Let's look at his history with misogyny:

Again the proof is in the pudding (don't know if I'm using that right :/ ). I'm more than happy to support PDP if he actually changes but making videos saying the right thing costs him nothing. His actions and reactions in the future will be the actual evidence.

He cannot do these videos in the style of his internet persona. It just comes across as insincere and childish.
Why not just sit down and have an adult conversation with someone who can put forth the criticism in a balanced and constructive way? And then try to talk about the bigger picture, which he so far seem to have a hard time grasping.
