What is the correct discussion and non-emotional response to the death of 40 people with a guy spewing a Nationalist hate speech manifesto and topping it off with a PDP meme just before he opens fire?
What's your role in this? The question wasn't aimed at you.
This is a great tragedy, but blaming someone or something apart from the shooter, is like blaming the whole islam for some sick freak that kills people "in the name of Allah".
cute to throw around "correlation doesn't equal causation" with one giant fucking false equivalency
Responses are emotionally charged because many people on this board are either Jewish, Muslim or fall into one of the many categories the people (and their allies) who worship him love to hate and belittle and, as we've seen, even kill. It's emotionally charged because there are lives at stake and people are actually fearing for the lives of themselves and people they know. Seeing the umpteenth mass shooting against minorities or the general disenfranchised puts people on edge. There are many people on this board who are in the crosshairs of the very violent bigots who feed off of the rhetoric that people just like PDP put out into the world. This isn't an argument about taxes or fuel or land rights. It's about peoples lives and the lives of those they love.

You're right, we should forgive the shooter and those who informed his ideology. It was just a heated streamer moment /s
Fucked up how we want to find people responsible for influencing someone who just murdered 40 people. We are truly children. A smart adult would simply say "that's sad" and turn the other way
Yeah, seems weird that people have to constantly clarify that they don't like him when defending him? Almost as if there's a reason not to associate yourself with him?
Probably just a coincidence
I like how we're at the point of conversation where I'm seeing the same arguments that every third Gamergater spouted at me being posted verbatim.
Agreed. I've never glorified celebrities, but it's especially cringy to me when those celebrities are despicable people and I see people flock to them. All the PewDiePie supporters are shocking to me. It's just a gargantuan following.
Google will just make him the official mascot of their upcoming console.

1. lol no it's not
2. Please read the other posts in this thread (threadmarks too)
3. once you've read them, reflect
4. you're welcome to not post.
LMAO spoken like a true person who's never been in our shoes. Yeah, it definitely doesn't come from all the islamphobia perpetuated by the fucked up politicians in this country and the racist fucks giving them power.
Just getting caught up with this. This is fucked up. RIP to the innocent murdered. This whole thing reeks of "gamer alt-right" bullshit, from his live stream to the manifesto. These are NZ guys going on about the second amendment? Is that right?
The fucking internet was a mistake. This shit is going international now because of forum culture I think that's pretty clear. I remember the shooting in Germany smelled similar a while back. I would like a profile on these guys but I thinks it's safe to assume they are trenchcoat people. It's really fucking sad.

I was wondering how long it'd take for someone to make this fuckin dumb comparison.
It's like living back 4 years ago...god we've been dealing with this shit for 4 and a half years (longer if you remember the protean eras like the Dragon Age 2 writer scandal). God fucking damnit it is tiring..
You don't just wake up one day and go out and shoot a gruop of people out of nowhere.
There had always been some kind of influence, some kind of propaganda
It's just weird how these "sick people" with "sick jokes" always manage to be connected to PDP in some way
Dude... it's not too hard to understand. No one is saying pdp should be blamed FOR THE ACTUAL ACT. People are saying he should take responsibility for unabashedly promoting the hateful rethoric that culminates in this acts.
People have been pointing out his dog whistles could lead to incentivize violence for a long time. Here we are. YouTube needs to act now. Basta.
No, that would be like blaming everyone who posts on youtube for this. You're thinking of Wahhabism and similar extremist ideologies.
I hope you enjoyed the day you got to spend on this site
Imagine being PDP right now. Imagine being a greedy piece of shit leech who's claim to fame is profiting and building an empire off the back of other people's work. Imagine you become so successful that you feel like you can say and do whatever you want. And then you wake up to the horrific realisation that the people you encourage and endorse are the kind of people capable of mass murder. He may not be responsible, but he is complicit and if he has even the slightest shred of human decency this should haunt him to his grave. If i was PDP right now (which is so alien a concept as to be laughable but hey) i would scrub my accounts of every last bit of shitty "content" and disappear forever. We can but dream.
Pewdiepie fans have been making this exact comparison on Twitter since it happened
The responses to that tweet are fucking insane. "It's not your fault PDP!" and "I'm sorry these bad things keep happening to you, such bad luck!" It's like some cult shit.
It's like PDP is fucking Donald Duck with his bad luck. Strange that it's some racist bad luck that keeps happening tho.
I can't possibly imagine how anyone would connect PDP and his fanbase with anti-Muslim sentiment then /s
I don't know where the servers from 8chan are located, but it's quite difficult. Some governments in the EU clearly support anti-Semitism and racism, like Hungary.
Same kinda shit people pulled when Leaving Neverland came out. These people worship the ground their celebrity walks on. It's fucking creepy.
"I don't like PDP but... people do shit randomly and for no reason and what about muslims? PDP didn't invent mass shootings!" /s
I'm being sarcastic but the people that actually say this aren't and you should feel stupid as fuck if you nod your head wanting to say something similar.

Man, it makes me wish for the time when PDP was just some really popular screaming schmuck instead of this "Secret" Alt-right Propaganda tool he has become.
It pains me that this dipshit has so much influence over so many children.

Before the NZ mass shooting, the shooter said "Subscribe to Pewdiepie"
Great idea there champ. Why think about how we could prevent this acts and what causes them at all? Right?
Let's not point away the people inciting this hate.
And yeah, if there is an instance where emotion is warranted it's 40 people getting shot. Go away.
I blame PDP for his contribution here for the same reasons Jim Jones is responsible for what happened at Jonestown, even though his followers "chose" to do what they did.
There's directed, intentional influence along the exact lines of the resulting action, right down to being flippant about mass ethnic killings; PDP is a figure who relishes in his influence over these audiences, and the cult-like following is obvious in any setting where people are critical of him.

I feel kind of sick to my stomach and just done with the gaming community in general. From gamergate all the way up to this, this is the kind of shit we placate and indirectly support. Fuck that.
No, but you could say he perfected spewing hateful alt-right propaganda to children. F*** off.
That post was sarcasm based on people coming in to defend PDP.
