Ugh. I'm frustrated. I got into arguments with a group of friends about Pewds. I was the only one who thinks that he should just come out and say "I'm against this. I don't support it and if you're a viewer of mine who believe in that. Fuck off" to make sure people know he's truly against it. Cause as I said before, I believe he put himself in this fire because of the content he's posted over the past year or so.
Everyone else in a group chat kept saying "No he shouldn't have to apologize! He doesn't owe anyone anything!" "You're just blaming him for this! Why don't we ban video games and guns?!"
Apparently i was "crying about it" according to one of them. I think the worst part is I'm probably gonna end up apologizing to them soon just cause of how I am.
one would think that making that statement would be a piece of cake. but here we are.
even if he did it, people will still claim it isnt enough.
i mean he clearly knows what base he is courting, he is not an idiot. maybe he doesnt subscribe to those ideologies (and this is being generous) but he knows his base.
if he happen to apologize a very chunk of his following will probably be offended that he betrayed them or that he broke down.
honestly he cant win right now, there is no way the doesnt receives a big fucking backslash, let it come from the right or the left.
but i think, the for his own sake and integrity, he needs to offer an apology.
