Why do these people kept calling him Felix like they fucking knew the guy? He's not your friend! He doesn't give a shit about your unnecessary, undeserved white-knighting.
On the other hand, calling him by his real name is a way to indicate that we think that the man himself has problematic views rather than just the character "pewdiepie".Why do these people kept calling him Felix like they fucking knew the guy? He's not your friend! He doesn't give a shit about your unnecessary, undeserved white-knighting.
Memes, edgy commentary and jokes, rape jokes, etc. Early-mid 2000's kids and teens were obsessed with lolsorandom and edgy stuff and YouTube was the cutting edge for new, young, entertainers. That era of YouTube introduced all of us to Chocolate Rain, YouTube Poops and their anime community cousins AMV Hells, PewDiePie, Charlie the Unicorn, Retsupurae and sooo much more. I think people forget that many well established YouTubers have been around for 11+ years.I genuinely don't understand why he got so big in the first place. I mean yes, he is somewhat handsome in a generic way, but the tiny bits I've seen of his videos have always been extremely low quality.
What an absolute piece of shit.
Thanks for the explanation. I honestly know not a single one of the channels you mentioned above, it might just be somewhat of a generational thing...Memes, edgy commentary and jokes, rape jokes, etc. Early-mid 2000's kids and teens were obsessed with lolsorandom and edgy stuff and YouTube was the cutting edge for new, young, entertainers.

I think people forget that many well established YouTubers have been around for 11+ years.
Also, I specify rape jokes for one specific reason here too. Rapes jokes would be the first time he'd come under fire for something and he'd give out his very first apology for.
EDIT: And being around for so long, you'd think plenty of them would eventually learn about what power and influence they have over others.
Youtube should look into shutting down his channel, dude is basically spreading hate speech for 89million people, most of them are impressionable children. I hope huge companies pull their ads again due to this
I feel you. These people are around us, lurking and laughing while spewing some neo-nazi bullshit. It gives me the creeps that we're interacting with them in the regular basis.I knew ERA was full of scumbags, but fuck me, this thread is disgusting.
Ban me again, please. I want nothing more to do with this cesspit and it's Nazi Children's Entertainer apologists. There are far too many to call this a decent community. This is just purple GAF.
Let's face it, they're all alt burner accounts. The real users are still among us. And when active users are banned, they're usually just a couple of weeks or so. Compare it to console warring and/or regular gaming trolls, they could get permanently banned. It's ridiculous.
The fascists you are referring to aren't welcome in this community. They just show up like moles and end up banned like expected. They are annoying sure, but they don't represent the community.
I am glad place like Era exists.
I used to watch his videos daily until the n-word incident and the half ass apology from him.
Knowing damn well that your channel is mostly subscribed by child while being symbolized, supported and promoted by alt-right neo nazis but not actively denouncing them and instead linking a "meme" of a well known right wing nutjob is pretty telling of what kind of person pdp really is.

Wow, banning people for correctly stating that PewDiePie has nothing to do with this?
I know ResetERA has a left leaning bias, but that's why I liked coming here: some different perspectives from the usual YouTube-comments and other social utterences.
This is just authoritarian BS.
If you ACTUALLY believe this is Felix' fault, you're delusional and I don't know what to tell you.
Bye ResetERA, it's been fun while it lasted.
I believe when Pewdiepie (in his twitter response) says that he is "absolutely sickened having (his) name uttered by this person", it is directly showing that he completely denounces this extremist behaviour and shows quite clearly that he could never support actions like this from his fans. Words like this go without saying mostly, although it would be helpful if he were to say the words straight out so that there is little scepticism of his beliefs.
-Completely in my opinion
Banning people for holding a non-threatening stance on something, even if you vehemently disagree with it, is pretty weak in my opinion.
It really doesnt matter, though.The second bolded parted... you believe PDP actually support mass murder and terrorist attacks?
I understand that he caters and like the alt-right crowd and is an idiot AND enables this type of mindset, but straight up supporting these sort of violence is a stretch.
The only weak thing here is those people's cowardly stances.Banning people for holding a non-threatening stance on something, even if you vehemently disagree with it, is pretty weak in my opinion.
Most left leaning reddit subs?(I know the site itself is a shithole but those specific subs are more progressive than Era) Era has a lot of actually left leaning people but the site itself is not nearly as progressive as you think. Lots of republican and cop apologists here, same for war criminal defenders(check the bush thread).Please tell me a more progressive and left leaning gaming (or normal) site...
Also way too many dog whistling pieces of shits that often get away with 3 day to 2 week bans. If you actually engage in an argument you kind of lose even on here.The only weak thing here is those people's cowardly stances.

Doesn't mean it's still not the best left leaning gaming website, but nowhere as near as people present it to be.

They're shitposting and you shouldn't be taking them seriously, it's obvious bait.Genuinely confused by the people denouncing ERA for being a alt-right haven that lets hate speech slide.
Big gaming youtubers: My videos are free marketing they influence the people to buy games. That's why I deserve early access and not having my videos blocked by companies. It's cause I get people to buy the games I cover.
Also big gaming youtubers: I actually have no influence and thus responsibility over what people do out of their own "free will".
So which is it.
If you believe the former that you can influence people to buy things then you have to accept the concept of influencing people into doing things. Simple as that dumbass dipshits.

Exactly like you said "if he were to say the words straight out so that there is little scepticism of his beliefs."
Until he said so in such manner and consistently (which i don't think he will do), i believe he deserves all this criticism.
I still hope that we all wrong and pdp is just a moron who does not understand the extend of his influence on millions of people. I did enjoy his content for a while and i am still hoping and praying that one day he is willing to use his influence to make this world a better place instead.
And for those who thinks Era is on the wrong stance or too "authoritarian" on your view, there are plenty other sites which i know supports your view like those chan sites. Perhaps you lot would fit better there.
(I'm liking that your response is less of a personal attack unlike many others on this platform i've seen)
I don't think PDP has done enough to control what some of his fans have done. Just last week the words "sub to pewdiepie" were carved onto a war memorial by some so called "fans". Unlike in this case PDP properly called out what these kids have done and accurately showed that he couldn't tolerate their behaviour.
What happened in Christchurch was an awful part of pushing an agenda of hate and conflict, but in no means was this pewdiepie's agenda.
(also i dare not go over to 4chan, it's not exactly a place i want to go)(I'm more-so on this site to have a proper debate, like this)
As I have said, we all start somewhere.you're all arguing with a 3 post dog whistling burner account even if not the difference is like the difference being a racist as a meme and being racist.
He is disgusted by somebody that murdered 49 people. The brave man, really denouncing White Supremacy there. Next you'll tell me he doesn't approve of crime.I believe when Pewdiepie (in his twitter response) says that he is "absolutely sickened having (his) name uttered by this person", it is directly showing that he completely denounces this extremist behaviour and shows quite clearly that he could never support actions like this from his fans.

I have to say here, i am defeated, I can't think of much of an argument to that....PDP has paid people to hold a sign saying 'death to all Jews'.
He definitely does contribute to "pushing an agenda of hate and conflict."
And your argument is?He is disgusted by somebody that murdered 49 people. The brave man, really denouncing White Supremacy there. Next you'll tell me he doesn't approve of crime.

edit: should probably clarify; i want to either debunk this or at least have something to say in response to it because
1) finding the manifesto at all to even see if there's a source to this claim is hard
2) it is complete nonsense. the problem is it is an easy way to reframe the entire pewdiepie argument as something that the terrorist wants and thats bad
3) even if it was completely true, pewdiepie should still be held somewhat responsible as he never bothered to distance himself away from the alt-right
the argument is the PDP can and should do much more if he really was affected by this tragedy.
You think he's sincere because he came out and said he was disgusted. No shit, a man killed 49 people. That you find anything of value from that statement is ridiculous. He doesn't address the bigger issue here of his cult White Supremacy following that he has cultivated. He's disgusted by mass murder. Wow. What a guy!
Rjinaz is saying it doesn't take effort to disapprove of mass slaughter. Disapproving of killers is simply base level humanity. It's easy. What would be more impressive and actually go toward ridding himself of the supremacists that flock to him would be flatly decrying white supremacy and bigotry. Not just from the bigots who kill but also the bigots who don't. This statement is no different from republican politicians sending their prayers when a gun massacre happens but not saying anything about the NRA or gun culture or white nationalism because they know inherently that their power, money and status is founded on those very institutions and cultures that propagate the violence. PDP supports white supremacist thought leaders like Stephan Moleneux and Ben Shapiro. If he was actually interested in changing the culture that produces the very bigots that commit acts like this, he would unequivocally renounce such people. It wouldn't even have to be a question. Yet here we are.
Can you explain where this "white supremacist following" is exactly? I watch his videos casually and barely take to twitter, so maybe I'm not quite as read-up on that. I genuinely want an explanation.You think he's sincere because he came out and said he was disgusted. No shit, a man killed 49 people.
