You know America is in trouble when the guy with the Trump avatar is making the most sense.

Do you dumbasses really think that loving PewDiePie is some kind of nazi? Really!? I mean if you want to call him a talentless hack I won't argue with you but there's a difference between joking about something and endorsing it. Even when the jokes in question aren't funny or are in poor taste.

JFC people this sort of bullshit is why half the country only reads Breitbart and thinks racism is no longer a thing. Stop being lazy loving sheep.

Do I think PDP is a Nazi? Probably not. Problem is the a lot of people who actually watch this poo poo are probably too young or impressionable to really grasp satire and may see this as an endorsement of Nazi values.

Yeah basically this. It's OK to actually look into the info on the things you make fun of, it's not hard guys.


Maker Studios is probably going to be gutted like a fish or significantly restructured over this Pewdpie thing. They're making the media think Disney is to blame. Do not cross the mouse.

Youtubers will be too afraid to make (bad) controversial jokes in fear for their ad revenue. iDubbz will probably still be iDubbz.

Chances are since he stopped doing the crappy scarecam content his prepubsecent fanbase has stopped watching his stuff (compare 50m subs to 3-5m views a video). The PewDiePie mobile games (barf) are somehow still highly successful, maybe they're banking on all his old memes.

Felix has gone so far up his loving arse in this article: http://uk.businessinsider.com/pewdiepie-response-to-report-2017-2?r=US&IR=T

quote:

"He characterized the report as part of a pattern of media animosity toward YouTube stars. “The media generally doesn't like us very much ... because they are scared of us," he said."

Is he this loving stupid? They weren't scared of him, they knew he has the biggest influence on YouTube, so millions of kids look up to him...they see him as a role model and they want to imitate his actions. So when he starts posting "racist" and "anti-Semetic" videos on his channel, kids are going to look at that and think "that looks cool" and the media are very concerned about what kids are watching. If he wasn't part of some MCN or was virtually unknown, he might have gotten away with it, but both his fame and influence made that way harder for him, and now he's hosed himself over.

Nah, there are a shitload of would-be gatekeepers in the pop culture journalism field that openly slobber over the idea of taking down prominent youtubers who make millions because they scrabble to remain relevant while making slave wages for some poo poo online rag.

Keep in mind these few things:

- Like I said a few posts ago the lower-age audience he used to have pretty much up and vanished. Think of his crowd now as a combination of people who liked pewdiepie's change to new "content" and meme fuccbois.
- The controversial stuff is like 9 videos out of what, ten billion? This is a guy who uploads daily.
- The media is obviously not scared of YouTubers and that argument from Felixman is stupid, but they probably know that targeting YouTubers generates those ad revenue giving clicks.

I don't think kids are smart enough to get ideologies from sweaty swedish men, although I won't argue he's probably teaching this stuff better than most textbooks.

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.
