PewDiePie promotes known white supremacist... again.

I'm surprised even some members here defend him. PDP is racist trash, he knows what he is doing.
His username is displayed on the screen in the clip. You don't need to know what he looks like.
Yeah. This place is certainly better modded than gaf, but sometimes I think they only take post at face value. I got banned cuz I posted in a thread about stalking and giving my experiences as a man, then someone who wasn't in the back and forth discussion quoted me in all caps about something unrelated about shootings and I said to settled down and I got banned for downplaying sexism. that was some dragona or w/e the mods name level shit.
It's still an assumption that he would know who he is. Stefan Molyneux clearly has a much larger audience.
Wow! Nice drive by post!
This is seriously all it takes, but given his history.....that's not going to happen.
User Banned (1 week): dismissing concerns regarding hate speech
Gotta have your 8 glasses of outrage a day.
A drive-by would be if I left the thread without replying to those quoting me. Nice try though.
What was the second (or third) strike? I remember the PUBG bridge and the channel recommendation.
Again, if there is anything to be outraged about, its the most popular youtuber constantly promoting nazis and white supremacists and their ideology on their channel for young viewers. Are you posters serious with regurgitating this nonsense? If you think thats outrage culture I'd love to know what kind of behavior is worthy of outrage.
Pro-tip: if you don't like the idea of people criticising the actions of other people, ignore threads like this maybe?
Pro-tip: things change when people get outraged, some people like progress
As has been said multiple times in this thread: He doesn't have to know who he is. He and his editors should look him up before featuring him in a video.
He won't do that, he seemingly has posts in basically every thread that highlights pdp's bullshit writing stuff like
Nice post history. Not at all surprised that someone like you lives in NC.
Yes but that's the part that's unrealistic. He's putting out videos daily there's no time to check out everyone you put in a video especially when it's many at once.
I don't think he has a team of people working for him like some seem to assume. Did he even join a new network after being removed from Disney's owned network?
What.
5 min research and they would find out that Baked Alaska was a neo-nazi.
I don't think anyone expect him to do a full fledge deep dive.
The funnier posts are those implying than people who are criticizing this PDP clip in a random tweet with not many followers, are promoting the nazi channel more than the guy who is one of the most famous YouTubers in the world with million of followers promoting a freaking nazi channel
No, it's not. If he "accidentally" puts nazi white trash in his videos, he either has to employ more people with the money he makes or he has to reduce his output so he has more time for research.
Yes but how is he supposed to know to check him out and not everyone else he features in videos?
PDP is training an army of millions of Nazi kids with these 5 second clips!
How many people does he feature? One google search per person is not something unreasonable to ask, is it?
Check everyone, a full time editor would be quick in doing that.
Yeah Pewdiepie clearly doesn't give a fuck anymore. He loves the controversy. The ultimate troll he is.
Expect a half-hearted apology from him in a few days. It's what he always does.

Nice post.
Yeah he probably should do either of those.
Sorry to ruin the hot fire being dropped in this etiquette post but what does "shittiest views" even mean when talking about the most subscribbed YouTuber?
Why do we keep making threads about this guy. Let's just stop talking about his so he'll disappear already.
Yes, let's ignore PDP's entire troubled history.
Some fucking people here, Jesus.
I feel like I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, but if you're going to be this obtuse, I don't really see a reason to continue to talk with you. Enjoy whatever it is you're doing.
Do you think that would stop his popularity?
Sure, he could definitely afford that but I highly doubt he has that now. When I think editor I assume it's just whoever is piecing together the video and uploading it not doing any research about the content.
You lose the benefit of the doubt when we are on to, what, six times this has happened?
But hey, keep moving goalposts and enabling.

PewDiePie says racist/antisemitic thing or gives exposure to racist/antisemitic voices? Again?
Why the fuck is this dude not cancelled?

Just look at this thread. Apparently he's just giving the people what they want!
How is he supposed to know who to check on Google?
I'm being reasonable. I'm not some PewDiePie defender. His PUBG bridge incident was wrong and recommending the YouTube channel was wrong but I don't see this the same. The original tweet that started this thread even admits that the clip is viral, it's not like he sought him out to put him in the video.
How about paying for someone to chant death to all Jews? So odd how you forgot that one!!
I don't mean to backseat mod but with the frequency of these events I really think defending this guy and/or posting his content should be a bannable offense on the level of Boogie or HotDiggedyDemon. PDP is certainly worse than Boogie at this point, and I don't mean that as a defense for Boogie.
If I "accidentally" gave a Nazi a shout-out I would have to be idiot to not check everyone.
Im sorry, he's going through a tiktok reddit of viral videos. This is some hard grasping going on here.
What are you implying?
Okay, then what? He needs to search everyone? When people share viral tweets with 100k+ retweets are they expected to know who the original poster is and their background?
