For those unaware, the shooter posted on 8chan before the shooting began. He livestreamed the shooting, and right before opening fire he encouraged viewers to subscribe to PewDiePie's channel.

YouTube's most popular user amplified anti-Semitic rhetoric. Again.
PewDiePie has 76 million followers — and a history of flirting with alt-right culture. The potential consequences are grave.

Just heard news of the devastating reports from New Zealand Christchurch. I feel absolutely sickened having my name uttered by this person. My heart and thoughts go out to the victims, families and everyone affected by this tragedy.

YouTube's most popular user is once again facing backlash — this time for promoting a highly anti-Semitic channel by recommending a video featuring a racial slur and a white supremacist conspiracy.
With 76 million subscribers, gaming vlogger PewDiePie, a.k.a. Felix Kjellberg, is the most popular individual on YouTube. In a since-edited video posted on December 9, he recommended several YouTube channels he said he'd been enjoying recently. One of those channels is called "E;R," and PewDiePie lauded its "great video essays," including "one on [the Netflix movie] Death Note which I really enjoyed." He also linked to the channel in his video description. (The recommendation has since been edited out of the video.)
