Did you see Pewdiepie's video before making that judgement?
Yikes. Do you people read only headlines or something ? I don't really like PewDiePie but in this case I wouldn't be so sure to call that he is "teaching his audience that women are asking for it".
Pewdiepie's behavior is inexcusable and he should get called out for it as his behavior affects all women.
But can we not defend Alinity either. She has said the N word recently and has said that she makes money from copy striking people, certainly not a saint.
Seen all the videos about this incident and this article is blowing things way out of proportion and portraying things in a very misleading way.
But I guess some Era members jumping to conclusions just based on an article title is normal...

Now I don't want this to be a "hate on Pewdiepie" thread
I agree with this. Maybe shouldn't call them thots. But the revealing clothes some streamers wear while streaming is dumb. Should be able to get by with your personality and talking with your audience.

He kinda is doing that though since people have and still victim blame a lot of women by saying they deserve the abuse that gets hurled towards them because of how they dress. He isn't saying that she deseveres to get raped but he does indeed imply that his "thot's" rhetoric is deserved because of how she is dressed. Come on it's right there.
Yeah I should have put more info about what she has done too, because she isn't perfect, but I still feel we need to call behavior that focuses on slut shaming and harassing women streamers for just playing video games. What he did in the original video wasn't right and he's got a backlog of crap that he's never apologized for.
He should know better as a public figure.. I bet he will come with an "apology" soon.
I do agree on a critique he made, not the wording though. Girls should not be wearing revealing clothes, more often than that they're chasing this harassing user base, and for what : views.
I'm sure vice would be more scared if pdp knew the difference between slander and libel
Looks like you didn't watch his videos. He clearly showed that she is or seems racist atleast. She dropped n word on her stream and when someone told her no to do that she said "it's whatever i'm like 10% black".

Nah I didn't watch any video. PDP been a racist asshole.
Fuck them both.

They should. Growing thick skin would help them cope when the abuse does come, but that doesn't excuse those spouting abuse in the first place - they are at fault.But they can attract an abusive audience with it and they should be aware of that.
I'll go through the video posted in the article later. The author may be reading the situation wrong, like you say. Still - people shouldn't call women "thots," especially for just showing skin on twitch.That goes in conflict with the article, who talks about objectifying girls because he looked at their chests (which girls do to guys lol). What those girls do is objectifying themselves. So by the authors own morality, the author has conflicted theirself in their own article.
They're both racist. She dropped the N word too on a stream. I find it a bit weird Vice totally ignored that since it was included as part of this "drama".
Care to elaborate how he's right?
Why not? He seems, by all accounts, a reprehensible human being. Are people here defending him?
And possibly get banned? No thanks.
Having watched all the videos related to this incident, I really don't think that he was saying she deserved the abuse. He even said in the last video that she should be left alone.
Also, he did make a video apologizing to her first in which he admitted having misused the word and said we wouldn't do it again. Why isn't this mentioned in the article?
