I'm not reading an 8 page thread about pewdiepie but am I correct in guessing that most of the outrage about this is completely tone-deaf and ignores the actual oppression on display (people in 3rd world countries being paid cents to hold up dumb signs)

yes but its really not a problem that third-worlders have found a clever way to make money off of retards across the world.

hey wait a minute, wasn't this guy saying he was going to delete his channel a few months ago?

It was a dumb ruse to get 50m subscribers. Is it worse that he shilled to 50m or that people actually believed he would delete his channel

I only know this guy from one of the shittiest episodes of South Park.

Cartman was being hella annoying in the corner of the screen? And I guess that is what this guy does? It sucked and was a bad episode, but I guess I can see Canadian Todlers getting a kick out of it . :v:

Watching the source video? double nah

Pewds is an annoying and immature fuckhead, but he isn't Hilter. This whole thing started because he thought it would be funny to get someone on fiverr to say something tasteless for 5 bux. And they did. And it wasn't funny but the overreaction it just silly.

But they were cool with him screaming RAPE RAPE DICK RAPE PUSSY RAPE in most of his other content right? Or more likely some idiot industry execs thought, "hey the kids like this pewdiepie guy right?

Yea it's the latter

People keep saying Disney is firing him when it's just a company they bought called maker studios. Walt Disney hates jews stuff aside, the actual Disney company is so uptight about their corp that they would have fed PewDiePie to pluto on day 1

*edit
For what its worth I think pewdiepies use of anti-Semitic slogans is extremely unimaginative and lazy. Then again I don't care about people who got famous via the internet.

That's the problem though you've got to be a fuckin moron to think trying to see the limits of what some morons will do for $5 is 'nazi adjacent' cause he wrote down the worst thing he could think of (and then they did it)

Unless you're trying to misconstrue what happened to manufacture outrage and generate page views of course then you're just being a journalist :shrug:

Overreaction? He got fired by Disney for making jew jokes, and he's already rich. It's not like he's going to jail.

I have zero sympathy for PewDiePie, his only claim to fame was sitting on his manchild arse playing scary games and being retarded...he hasn't done anything else creative since because he lacked any of it. Then e-fame ruined him and turned him into an absolute egocentric twat.

He admitted he only cared about making money in RP's react video, then he did some damage control by teaming up with Humble Bundle for charity, then he got kicked out of his home in Brighton for being retarded (yet again) late at night and instead of just apologising to his landlord and the neighbours, he tells them to go gently caress themselves and bitch about having more than enough cash to relocate somewhere else in the world. And cause some "YouTube drama" with other "Let's Players" for good measure.

Then when he bragged about "deleting his channel" after reaching 50 million subs, he addressed there are serious issues bugging YouTube at the time. He could've actually changed YouTube's terms given how huge his status is...but then he executed the prank, doesn't address YouTube's problems again, gets another dumb milestone trophy and shows up on YouTube Rewind. Doesn't even look back on this since.

If Disney and YouTube dropping his network and his show (and possibly his channel) isn't his ultimate downfall, I don't know what is. His ego has bitten off far more than he could chew...and he couldn't even be clever about it. From what I've seen, he couldn't tell the difference between making a rape joke and just screaming 'rape her' over and over and calling that a joke, and he couldn't tell the difference between satirically being a racist and posting racist content without really thinking them through, of course he can't defend himself by just saying "it's a joke bro" again because he's already cried wolf more than enough.

He has no public decency, common sense, wit, or any other valuable skills that he could've put to good use. All he's done is bitch and moan for the majority of his career and only put his foot down when his fans were getting out of hand.

I will never respect or tolerate Felix for being such a selfish, retarded, egotistical oval office.
