The sarcasm will, from time to time, be lost in a sea of immense shit. /s will save you all.No, but you could say he perfected spewing hateful alt-right propaganda to children. F*** off.
Sorry. It's legit hard to tell from some real replies ITT.That post was sarcasm based on people coming in to defend PDP.
I feel /s diminishes the stupidity one might feel when they realize they are a piece of shit.The sarcasm will, from time to time, be lost in a sea of immense shit. /s will save you all.
Thank god a mod. Got real messy here the last hour or so
This place isnt for you... or maybe it's perfect for you. Either way i'm scared.
Sadly, agreed. Social media has a lot to answer for
This. And the people who want to say "why blame PDP tho" it's not just about PDP. This topic is about PDP but it could as much be about Sargon of Akkad or Baked Alaska or Alex Jones or Milo Y front or Donald Trump or Fox News or Tucker Carlson, etc. PDP is part of a wide reaching problem. He is one of the many thousands of people who put the nonsense slop into the gigantic trough that bigots from all over the world feed form. Some of those bigots spread the word, share it and the worst they do is give minorities dirty looks because of that rhetoric. And other eat the same fill and get it in their mind to use violence to rid the world of those Muslims or those Jews or those Blacks or those Women who are ruining our culture or whatever other nonsense. If you believe otherwise you might as well believe that shooters like this are simply birthed from the ground with gun in hand and with their ideals already set. They don't come from just nowhere and they don't just believe what they believe just because. They are fed shit and it festers and grows. When people like PDP or Milo or Trump etc. choose not to say squat in response, they perpetuate the growth and sustain it.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.
Read above.
Yeah I think that's a mistakeHey umm, am I the only one who thinks newmoneytrash was banned by mistake?
-> THREADMARKS
Corrected already thankfully.
I don't like PDP but... people do shit randomly and for no reason and what about muslims? PDP didn't invent mass shootings!
They've been unbanned. I reported the post to a mod that the ban seemed like a complete misread.Hey umm, am I the only one who thinks newmoneytrash was banned by mistake?
I think so. I just used the report feature to bring it to the mods attention so hopefully they fix it.Hey umm, am I the only one who thinks newmoneytrash was banned by mistake?
With the amount of people defending PDP sincerely I can see a lot of folks catching bans for being too subtle with their sarcasm.Hey umm, am I the only one who thinks newmoneytrash was banned by mistake?
Sickened isn't enough dickhead. How about you denounce people who would do this in your name, take a strong stance against anyone who harbours even the tiniest bit of prejudice and ask your fans to do the same.
That shitty reply makes me burn with rage.
True. Or at least make it super obvious.
Yeah the 8chan AMA really was particularly egregious. The 8chan expose by Dan Olson should be required reading not just for everyone but particularly for people who trade in nerd culture like ourselves who are more likely to visit such a site. The scarier thing is that there are many people who probably have read it and still don't care.I'm not as articulate as others in this thread, but I'll try and describe why normalization is dangerous relating to my own experience.
I grew up an only child with conservative parents who fought all the time. I'm 30 now, so this was in the early 00's. To try and ignore their shit, I turned to video games from a young age and just escaped that way. I was socially awkward and couldn't meet anyone at school who was into the same stuff, so eventually I found Penny Arcade because it seemed like a fun comic and eventually learned they had something called a "forum". I didn't know what that meant or what it was, but I clicked around on my own and discovered its a community to talk to other people about games. Perfect!
I basically lucked out that the community there happened to be liberal minded and not the lunatics I'd have found on 4chan. At that age I was highly impressionable and this community ended up being a factor in how I became a liberal, even though my parents are conservative. If I'd have latched onto 4chan instead? I'd probably be a completely different person today.
Trace back to how I found that site in the first place - because it was talked about and mentioned on the most mainstream of all sites relating to games like Gamespot, or talked about in my classes because people liked their comics. Now think about how popular PewDiePie is.
Even more dangerous IMO is what THQ Nordic did. They put 8chan into the headlines of the same major gaming outlets I would have been visiting when I was 10 or 11. Think about Notch, the creator of Minecraft. Imagine a young kid who loves Minecraft and goes snooping around on google to learn who made this wonderful game they play every day, and then finds the shit he posts on his Twitter TL.
Hope this is said sarcasm...... God I hope soooo hard.Hope Pewds takes the time to talk about it in his next video. Must be terrible for him as well
I thought I did, but considering some people in here it was obviously a bad idea! Sorry!
