CharlestheHammer: Jun 26, 2011; YOU SAY MY POSTS ARE THE RAVINGS OF THE DUMBEST PERSON ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH BUT YOU YOURSELF ARE READING THEM. CURIOUS!

It's possible but it's more likely a lovely attempt at an own that doesn't work.

i know and don't care that youth culture will leave me behind, and I still think pewdiepie kinda sucks

like I loved lovely scarecam and meme stuff when I was in middle school. the problem with these people is they make all of the isms seem like big jokes instead of real issues

This is pewdiepie. At least watch until 30 seconds to get the general reaction of ordinary adults.

I've seen a lot of that joking 'ironic' racism from people who are trying to figure out if they can say a bunch of super racist poo poo in front of you or not.

For one of his videos, PewDiePie apparently hired an Israeli actor to dress as Jesus and say, "Hitler did nothing wrong."

He seems really focused on Jewish people.

What?! What the gently caress is this?

Even when I was a dumbfuck 12-year old this poo poo wouldn't have been funny.
Then again I like Animutations spent far too long on Newgrounds.

One conversation at a time.

Kjellberg has since taken down several videos in which he talks about the controversy, but the original January 11 video that includes the offending joke still stands. For what it’s worth, Kjellberg uploaded a Genital Jousting-themed “Valentine’s Special” video earlier today that doesn’t mention the controversy, but repeatedly mentions butt sex.

Watched the trailer again. Accurate. Comment rescinded.

e: also, watching the Logan trailer in my, er, heightened condition... :drat:

I never got why it was exciting until now. Is... is Logan going to be the first objectively good superhero movie?

Young Freud: Nov 26, 2006

I'm a little miffed at that Logan poster for revealing the girl is supposed to be X-23. I'm pretty sure it's an open secret, but I'd like some sort of ambiguity when it comes to preview materials for movies.

Also, I hate that this rendition of the Reavers is just Pierce with cyborg arms and a bunch of goons straight out of Call Of Duty and doesn't have a bald person with a skull tattooed on their face nor a guy ripping off Mandroid from Eliminators and having tank treads for legs.

At some point in your internet success career, you're going to have to realize you're no longer making your holocaust jokes in front of your small core group of 12-year old fans anymore, and I think that point's well before you're making six figures. Dude was smart enough to drop the rape jokes but apparently too stubborn (or racist) to drop this.

I watched like 5 full minutes of Pewdiepie and my detailed analysis is: bring back flaying.

Re: X-23 we outright start calling her Logan's daughter in later TV spots. I'm sorry for the spoilage but testing demonstrably shows that people care about this odd child a poo poo ton more if they know who she is and well frankly this movie needs to make some money.

He grew up in a culture very different from the one he's being expected to conform to now that he's an international superstar. This is not meant as a defense, but as an explanation. The legacy of Sweden's racial purity programs still looms large.

Knowing absolutely nothing about the comic, when I saw Logan hanging out with a young girl, I assumed she was his daughter. I mean, not that it's the only possible explanation, but it doesn't strike me as some huge secret that MUST BE GUARDED.

It looks like the entire movie is about Wolverine and his daughter. I'm not sure the premise of the movie actually counts as a spoiler.

Yeah, it's mind blowing that someone's like 'they ruined the secret!!' as though someone may have watched the trailer where Logan is protecting and guiding a little girl with his same claws and his healing ability and thought 'man, it'd be crazy if this girl who is definitely not his daughter turned out to be his daughter!'

It would be really nice if people could please stop claiming that it took an antisemitic joke for Disney to drop PewDiePie despite all his prior racist and misogynistic content.

PewDiePie has expressed antisemitic and Nazi sentiments in his videos long before this incident with fiverr.

August 7, 2016: PewDiePie, wearing a Make America Great Again hat, begins his video with a swastika and other Nazi imagery, and uses a photo of Hitler as a segue between clips

September 24, 2016: In a video criticising YouTube policy, he shows a clip of Hitler giving a speech

October 15, 2016: PewDiePie posts swastikas drawn by his fans

December 8, 2016: PewDiePie wears a brown military uniform while watching a Hitler clip at the end of his video

Antisemitic website the Daily Stormer has also given PewDiePie praise for Nazi imagery in his videos, writing:

�PewDiePie is /ourguy/.

This latest video is unapologetically full-Nazi.

The guy has 52 million subscribers, compared to the number 2 YouTuber that has 30 million. He is arguably the most watched person on the planet.

And he is pushing hardcore GTKRWN materials.

In this video, he calls out the Jews for killing Jesus, and points out several times that Hitler did nothing wrong.

At the very least, he is making the masses comfortable with our ideas.

I hope he keeps doing this � staying chill, I mean. Not going too far. I think he�s aware that he�s eventually going to get banned � if he wasn�t ready for that, he wouldn�t be calling out the Jews head-on like this.�

So please understand that he�s targeted Jews in the past without major outrage or punishment. He�s used Nazi imagery as a joke in his videos before. The �death to all Jews� video that caused outrage wasn�t the first antisemitic video PewDiePie posted. He�s also racist and misogynistic and he should have been called out on these things and dropped a long time ago.

But his antisemitic content neither began nor ended with the Fiverr video.

99% of the time (Logan falls under this), I'd agree, but the less that's known about Moon before watching, the better.

That's just a facade put up by modern Swedish governments. Beneath the surface, there's still the simmering cauldron of national-conservatism that took Nazi ideals and made them policy for 4 decades.
