PewDiePie recommends straight-up Nazi channel (Hitler speeches, calls to get rid of Jews, more)
- Thread starter Odesu
- Start date
He's continuing the conversation from his just banned alt account. Didn't even miss a beat.
He better be careful, this is strike 4 or 5. We all know the rules, if this happens 9 or 10 more times he's out.
"I've literally grown up with the guy by my side."
That was a post that actually happened. Like Pewds is just his misunderstood buddy that he knows intimately. They're friends.
It's such an embarrassing fucking thing to say, I felt shame typing it. Jesus Christ.

This is some scary shit. Might need to step back and rethink things.
He does not know you even exist.
If you aren't in his inner circle, you are just a piggybank to him.
I know he's already banned but out of curiosity I asked a co worker who moved here from France a few years ago about this. He was very positive that this dude is full of shit and that people in France are obviously aware of the racial history of America and that slur.
Like, in any other context than this someone claiming that a celebrity is their friend without knowing the person would either be a cry for help or something that should be followed up by authorities, lest they start stalking that person.
Each ensuing account will be more blatant about his true nature.
American culture, including things like jazz, rap, and other traditionally African-American art forms, are so widespread that there is really no plausible deniability on that topic unless that individual is supremely sheltered or incredibly young (like, single digits).
That's not even contending with the idea that somehow Europe doesn't have racism, a view occasionally espoused across the internet. Nope, no problematic history at all.
Have we had one of those "But it's different in Europe" threads about Romanis yet? Those were always good for culling the racists down for awhile.
I honestly feel like this while posting on Era, haha
Haha
Ha
:(
Says the N word, continuously signal boosts awful people and laughs it off like a child when confronted, at this point I have no doubt he's a piece of shit.
He lost the benefit of the doubt a long time ago.
so you agree he knew what he was doing sharing alt-right shithead's channel
Haha, well played Sonic Fox.
No, they disappeared from the news around here a while back, so I don't think we've had our very own era thread where people can feel really comfortable about systematic dehumanization yet.
It's sad seeing someone's glee on parade so openly about something like this.
Oh. So you're from the when he just used to scream "rape" and be real gross to female characters all the time. That's very telling of you.
Great response by SonicFox, and very true as well. The sheer amount of people on Twitter defending PDP is crazy though.
It was nice to see Hutch call him out (sorta) too.

Only a 2 week ban for this obvious burner account? Wow.
Does the mod team really believe this shit stain is going to have anything better to say or suddenly change his defense of Nazis in two weeks?
I dont know why I laughed so hard at that part of the article.
But yeah. People seem to forget that time he made a video about an anti-feminist guy and said the guy "has some good points."
buncha social media professionals find the thought of deplatforming more frightening than the thought of normalizing violent bigotry.
edit: and it's pretty disappointing to see what were probably burner accounts say shit like that and not get permed.
That E;R dude is scary since his shit is straight up made to be propaganda to entice kids and young teens into Nazism and fascism. Dude's channel should be taken down. It also continues my not taking that pedantic chud MauLer seriously (besides being a terrible video essayist) since it's one of his recommended channels for people to check out.
Which - at least in PewdiePie's case - wouldn't be true regardless since he lives in the UK, where - while likely not used as often as in the US - it's still a well-known racial slur.
'[A]nti-feminist guy' is putting it lightly, since that was Janusz Korwin-Mikke, a far-right Polish politician who has called migrants 'human garbage' and isn't sure if Hitler knew about the Holocaust.

It would be easier to remember all of the shitty things that PewDiePie's said if he hadn't said so many.
I mean if you're 50 in France you may not be aware of the slur.
The French equivalent of that slur is also considered offensive and unless it's appropriated in some circles, people will think you're racist dipshit for uttering it.
Heck this makes conversation about ghost writers a bit difficult.
This is such a sad, desperate, completely worthless attempt at a defense.
He did not use our version of the word, he was speaking in English to a global audience.
Our version of the word is still very racist.
