Oh yeah totally man that's completely accurate and not at all a total distortion of reality.
"Be nice to nazi sympathizers pls."
How about no, we've had enough.
Been here 18 months and you don't know how a fucking forum works?
Just as a followup to my last post, I think this particular response by Felix is good and thoughtful. Focuses on the actual victims of the attack. I hope it sticks and that he abstains from making any "the mainstream media is attacking me over NZ shooting" videos.
User Banned (1 Month): Downplaying Hate Speech; History of Trolling Sensitive Discussions
What involvement? Tell me how he planned this.
Look. He's just asking questions.
How about you learn to read.
Are you being deliberately dense?
Involed as in directly cited by the killer and by feeding far right rhetoric and their agendas on multiple occasions.
His actions, like many far right provocateurs have contributed to the radicalisation of people, to the point of killing like we've seen today.
That's irresponsible at best and downright complicit at worst.
You are so woke.
You realize you can do both correct? You can wonder why a shooter would invoke the name of Pewdiepie before a mass killing and condemn the shooter for the killings as well. I mean I realize its a hard concept to grasp for someone such as yourself but you can do it if you try really hard.
When a group of people (wtf) have just murdered around 50 innocent people, have livestreamed the whole thing and have said on camera "subscribe to this guy", it's time that you (him) take a good hard look on how your actions might have affected people.
So sad to see his name trending on twitter and all it is is his rabid fanbase screaming he did nothing wrong. One of the most famous "gamers" on the planet has a history of bigoted rhetoric and now got a shout out from a mass murder. The industry is such a fucked up place atm.
We're long overdue holding the media responsible for its perpetuation of white supremacism, both directly and by dog whistles. I hope it doesn't take another right wing terrorist attack for those with power to do something about it.
PewDiePie is part of that media, and his crocodile tears do nothing to change my view on that. He is complicit in spreading this hatred to the young, and at a minimum he needs to be completely banned from all mainstream platforms instantly. Even if this was never his intent, he has fed a monster for his own personal enrichment, and now 49 innocent people are dead.

Of course he says that, Boogie, the saint and the nice guy to the rescue.
Edit: someone who has Twitter tell him to fuck off
PDP follows people like Ben Shaphiro, who has videos explaining 'the myth of the Islamic radicalized minority'. He gleefully basks in the adoration these people have for him, he's been an attacker of the 'traditional media' aligning himself with any kind of crazies that believe in outlandish conspiracy theories.
He tiptoes or downright normalizes hateful behavior, he dances around political issues because 'it just a prank, bro'.
If serial killers admires what you stand for,your actions and how you look at life and world issues... You have a problem. You have a problem in what kind of message your content sends and what kind of people it emphatizes with.
You can't not claim when shit hits the fan that you abhorres what happened without making a huge introspection of why that person called you off, why before murdering 40 people he mentioned your name cheerfully. You just can't.

I don't listen to the guy, don't think it's his fault. But dude sure as shit should ask himself why people like and alt right peeps seem to like him so much.
Yes, lets consider the Pewdiepie's feelings and not the the families who his fan murdered. These people are so backwards mentally its astonishing.
Most of the mainstream gamer YouTubers are fucking idiots but Boogie is a downright spineless cunt. Slimy fucker.
Hey, admins! Here's a request for a new sitewide rule:
Post a Boogie meme (no matter the context) = Automatic instant perma ban.
Let's stop showing his face, and promoting his bullshit.
I'm only looking at Boogie's stupid ass because you posted it. Was that really necessary? Is this telling us something we don't already know?
Boogie the fatso treating Pewdiepie like a victim haha.
I still can't believe people liked Boogie 5 years ago or whenever he was. He's deplorable.

The horrible pain that PDP is feeling is the real issue here, guys.
He is so paralyzed by anguish that he posts pictures of himself with a gun prop and ski mask on Instagram.
Well yeah, I know the stupid subscribe 2 PDP is a meme. But having it one your head while killing multiple people is not normal.
Don't think I will add much to this thread but there are several ways he can/should do to make his "followers" understand that his is not right (not right is a understatement), he has to draw a fucking line and change.
I just don't think he is doing this things deliberately (or maybe he is? by the videos he posts it doesn't seem so), he's just a fucking ass with too much power.
It seems so weird & abstract to read the words "I cant imagine the pain you are feeling" regarding a devastating mass shooting with no acknowledgement or reference whatsoever towards the actual victims of the shooting or even their families or loved ones.

Of course there is a fucking tweet like this...
Fuck Boogie, to think i used to actually respect and admire him at one point. Im just glad i got out once he defended Jontron which was probably the first big thing that made people start turning on him.
Also fuck Colin too, just a bunch of arseholes who go around defending other arseholes because they need as many allies as possible.
Right, and if he didn't have a history of saying and supporting really shitty things this would be a reasonable response. No one blames Jodie Foster for John Hinkley, but if she had been associating herself with radicals and "making oopsies" (I think this is the phrase his supporters use for "hilarious mistakes" like using the N word and linking to white supremacist channels) like PDP has, if she had actively engaged with anti-government extremists, maybe we would at leas t question what she's doing.
edit: I fixed the wording on the last sentence to make it clearer what I meant
No shit he's into these things. You can always tell someone's either an alt righter or a white supporter when they can't even flat out say that nazi are wrong and will always be wrong, they'll always go into "both sides" mode. It's not hard to be against nazis.
In another thread I unequivocally stated that Pewdiepie's tweet where he said he's sickened by the news is good enough to condemn the violence.
After reading through ShironRedshift's post above I understand more where the thread is coming from. But I'm somewhere between ShironRedshift and Voxl. Leaning much closer to Voxl's viewpoint, admittedly. But I'm glad I read through the threadmarks, and I'm especially glad I read ShironRedshift's post.
The hold these influencers have over some people is incredibly frightening. Today we have a situation with dozens of dead, children losing their parents and communities across the world fearing for their lives and of all possible causes to summon the motivation and energy for they would use it to protect the integrity of a youtuber as if he is the greatest victim in all this. Unbelievable.
The reality is he was celebrated by a mass murder and one of the most evil people we'll witness in our lifetimes. Felix gave a home and comfort within an online community to people like that and if there's any shred of humanity within him that'll haunt his conscience for the rest of his life.

Let's not forget the *real* victims here, namely the dude who makes antisemitic "jokes" and calls people the n-word, and the dude who thinks that Nazis and Non Nazis should "meet somewhere in the middle", ie thinks that everyone should be at least half Nazi.
Give it a day or two and it won't be about a terrorist attack anymore but how "SJWs attack poor PDP". :"")
Having just read through the entirety of this thread, I want to thank the mods for staying vigilant and doing what needs to be done.
