Yeah, I'm not so sure you can just absolve yourself from legal consequences if you do that.
That's some weird stuff right there. I don't get the attraction to this dude that you need to become such a creeper over it.
Has he spoken out about this at all, or is this still too new of a development? This seems like a huge deal.
i wonder if they play star citizen too. Just completing the deathstar ya know?
It sucks because the printer thing was at least under the guise of letting people know their printers were insecure. This is just evil bullshit.
Guy's influence managed to get 50 innocent people killed. He's not going to jail over this, he's never going for jail over anything unless he's explicitly complicit.
Edit: Unless you were referring to his subhuman fanbase. Might've misread.
Why can't they spend their time doing something more productive like playing video games, reading comics, or fapping to anime girls?
It's like robbing a bank and then sending them a check the next day for what was stolen. These fucknuggets that Pewdieputz has cultivated are going to fuck with the wrong people and PDP won't be able to "oopsie" his way out of it.
Fucking white fragility at its finest.
Is Google/YouTube going to do anything or just continue to ignore this shit?

Jupp. The printer thing was at least a bit positive for informing people about the insecurity of their printers.
Whoever is behind this however just saw the recognition and wanted to be praised by Pewdiepie, no matter how malicious it is.
This is just sad.
exactly what i thought, pewds needs to step down from this fight and let corporations take over, it's not morally ok to keep doing this.
So malware + sharing images of mass shooting victims is the new hotness? 2019 got real weird.
I mean, I'm convinced that 99% of his fans are just normal people who like watching his videos, but he should try properly to address the stuff that the last couple of idiots does to distance himself from it more clearly.
Unfortunately, he's still showing problematic stuff in his videos from time to time. While he's getting better from what I can gather, it's still a bit much even showing stuff that is clearly offensive enough that he has had to censor it.
