Don't bother Felix, you said a bad word that one time and resetera will never forget. We sure forget about other bad stuff very quickly though, I wonder why.
This is a good thing, not matter how you look at it.
Mr. Kjellberg is not your friend.

if you think ADL is a good cause, then pewdiepie getting "canceled" (???) led to him donating a large sum to a good cause. what's the harm in being skeptical when he shows almost no change?ADL is literally an anti-bigotry league. Him donating to them indicates he is willing to use his "brand" to stand against bigotry, no matter what he did in the past.
People on Era need to learn that a person is not worth one act, and one act alone. PDP is a shithead, and has acted like one in the past. That doesn't mean he can't try to change, or that he can't put himself on a path to redemption. He can, and hopefully he goes through with it. We should be hoping for that, for him as a person to be redeemed, and him as a public figure to be making a stand for the right thing, rather than continuing to treat him with suspicion when he is literally putting his money where his mouth is for the right thing. I understand being wary, so am I. But don't be so quick to dismiss the possibility of someone growing and getting better with time. Too many people on Era, most people on Era, fail to account for that, in their haste to "cancel".
Of course people will still complain.....
It's money for a good cause. How much have you donated this year? Doesn't matter if he's a dick or how much of his networth that is
Excellent takedown. Let's see now how many will try to address this instead of just dismiss it because it doesn't fit the narrative they're trying to push.Exactly.
Doesn't mention his racist comments.
Doesn't mention his racist actions.
Doesn't bring up the fact he was following nearly every alt right/IDW shit on twitter until he stopped following everyone one day after being called out on it.
Doesn't acknowledge that his actions have helped lead fans down the road to radicalisation by normalising bigotry and promoting bigots.
No, instead it's apparently all about the media who manipulated the truth to twist it into something it isnt.
Fuck PDP and anyone who comes out defending him because a multimillionaire gave away $50k is a fool.
"oh but the bigots are angry with him now"
For every person pissed off at him for thinking he has forsaken the cause, another will think he is just playing the game and hiding his power level from normies.
Again, we've done this song and dance before.Excellent takedown. Let's see now how many will try to address this instead of just dismiss it because it doesn't fit the narrative they're trying to push.
This ain't about one act. He's constantly showed us who he is.ADL is literally an anti-bigotry league. Him donating to them indicates he is willing to use his "brand" to stand against bigotry, no matter what he did in the past.

...they probably forgot.Please, take this to its logical conclusion. What other bad stuff does "the resetera collective" forget very quickly and why?
stop idolizing a stranger on the internet.Don't bother Felix, you said a bad word that one time and resetera will never forget. We sure forget about other bad stuff very quickly though, I wonder why.
This is a good thing, not matter how you look at it.
I will preface this - idgaf about pewdiepie, this is more about the idea of people changing.
Do you think it is not possible for people to change how they act or react, how they perceive a situation, person, class of people, etc?
Possible yea, but..
I don't see any apology here. Just whining about the MSM and trying to paint himself as forgiving people who wronged him.
Seriously. I don't watch this channel and don't see a reason why I ever would, but what I see here is a young man trying to learn and grow as humans do in a strange new environment that still does not have any clear definition on what it is or what it should be. Youtube and social media didn't even exist when I was 29.I learned from resetera that if you done anything bad in your life it's impossible to redeem yourself.
Don't worry, instead people will attack me for not allowing people to change.Excellent takedown. Let's see now how many will try to address this instead of just dismiss it because it doesn't fit the narrative they're trying to push.
what evidence do you see of an attempt to learn or grow?Seriously. I don't watch this channel and don't see a reason why I ever would, but what I see here is a young man trying to learn and grow as humans do in a strange new environment that still does not have any clear definition on what it is or what it should be.

I'm not debating semantics with Resetera today, sorry. Take my opinion or leave it.
bro he donated money, the most excruciable thing you can do in our times.
coward.I'm not debating semantics with Resetera today, sorry. Take my opinion or leave it.
Both are trash, even by him doing this it doesn't redeem him. He is absolutely guilty at some of the things he has done and what he's associated himself with.
Well that does show you don't know what your talking about.I'm not debating semantics with Resetera today, sorry. Take my opinion or leave it.
he actually donated money to an anti-biggotry foundarion? does that count for nothing?
With all the other stuff he's done yeah it barely counts.he actually donated money to an anti-biggotry foundarion? does that count for nothing?
Precisely the reasons I'm not willing to waste my time. There is no reason to be so insulting. I can only presume you too are learning and growing.
not for muchhe actually donated money to an anti-biggotry foundarion? does that count for nothing?

What would make it count?
It's literally in the subject line.If you're not going to provide any backup to your statement then it is effectively worth nothing. You have not posted in this thread.
Harvey Weinstein donated more money. Donald Trump donates money.
If you think not donating money makes someone bad and donating good, than psychopaths have a bridge to sell to you.
So for you opening your wallet is really THAT significant?I don't mind people saying they can change but we're at attempt #23231 of PDP making public excuses.
We've done that song and dance before, the one difference is that he's open his wallet now.
stopping with the "MSM HATES ME AAAAAAHHHHH" conspiracy would be a start.
Agreed.I'm honestly tired of this "donate and make up for your fuck ups without having to change" mentality. That said, at least he donated to a cause that his followers hate.
Now, PDP should, you know, actually change. I would love if YouTubers like MatPat actually held him accountable for his actions instead of crying conspiracy when the "MSM" reports on him.

Well when you don't have reasons and want to defend someone like pewdiepie than that says all i need to knowPrecisely the reasons I'm not willing to waste my time. There is no reason to be so insulting. I can only presume you too are learning and growing.
addressing all of this
Exactly.

Using his massive bully pulpit to actively fight/speak out against racism, sexism, homophobia, and antisemitism would definitely count.
