I'm fairly certain Felix has the same political views as Petterson and Shapiro. He's clearly on the right/conservatism side. People got fooled because he's funny, has that cool attitude and all, but he clearly is. I'm shocked people realized this now or need to search on his twitter to see who he does or doesn't follow. Pewdiepie is the embodiement of what an human 4chan would talk and think like. 4chan is funny, hard to recommand, borderline, controversial and clearly on the right side of the political spectrum. Pewdiepie is exactly that. Yes, Pewdiepie is more on the right and conservatism spectrum of political ideas. It's like some people tried to believe otherwise because they wanted him to be left, just so they could feel better at watching his content.
Does being a right/consevatist make him a white suprematist ? Nope, not even close.
Does being a right/conservatist make him accountable for what a 28 year old deranged adult did in NZ ? Certainly not, even if the killer was making references of Pewdiepie.
There are a lot of fucked-up people in the world. You can never be certain a jackass on pills will not do something awful and despicable in your name. When hardcore salafist kill innocents people in Syria or Irak, they do it in the name of Islam or to defend what they - wrongly - think to be muslim values. Should all muslim or the Quran be accountable for all those deaths ? No, certainly not. All those innocent killings by salafists are the awful deeds of crazy and bloodlusted people.
When someone deranged scream he's killing innocent people in the name of Pewdiepie or uses his meme or anything, should Pewdiepie be held accountable for it ? Certainly not because there are no double standard to have.
It smells a lot like people in this thread just hated him prior this event and just use this event to hate him even more. It's fine, but trying to paint him as a white suprematist because he said the N-word once or because he's inviting Ben Shapiro on his shows is just being dumb and very obtuse. Trying to held him accountable for the NZ killing because some want to believe hard he's a white supermatist is even dumber and pretty transparent. You don't have to find yourself dumb excuses to hate Pewdiepie.
A) It's already been discussed that this isn't about just PDP
B) There's a difference between being conservative and being someone who feeds into the ideals of white supremacy and minority oppression. The evidence has been provided why PDP following and sharing the beliefs of people like Lauren Southern and Ben Shapiro isn't harmless. These are people who breed bigots and normalize the bigotry that reinforces the mentality of bigots both violent and non-violent
C) This isn't about sentencing PDP to jail for a killing he didn't do. In order to create less and less violent bigots, people with large platforms need to change how they speak. PDP by making light of things like the genocide of Jews not only is harmful to Jewish individuals but reinforces within bigots that the death of people they deem undesirable shouldn't be taken seriously.
D) People aren't painting him as a white supremacist sympathizer just because he hangs with Ben Shapiro or just because he says the N-word but because he doubles down when pepole tell him why such behavior isn't ok
E) You're free to believe that literally everyone making this case is just jealous of PDP if that makes you feel better but it doesn't change the fact that the reason we are in this state today is because people like PDP and yourself make excuses for not listening when minorities and disenfranchised people tell you exactly why violent bigots continue to feel emboldened
