The guy shits out a torrent of stuff constantly. The half a dozen or so instances are found in dozens of not hundreds of hours of other equally inane bullshit. There isn't some sort of agenda or unifying theme at work other than his constant stream of mildly annoying humor.

He decides what content goes into his video. He decided it would be a good idea to include nazi imagery multiple times in his videos. And for good measure he did a cool nazi salute himself. I know he was trying to make a point about YouTube moderators with that last one but what a loving dumb thing to do.

I don't necessarily think he's a nazi (TBD) but look at the results of his actions: neo-Nazi websites are calling him their hero, and all the comments blaming Jewish media on him being dropped by Disney. When your "jokes" are actually gaining the support of the people you're trying to make fun of you're probably doing it wrong.

And then he kept doing it for months. :lol: He deserves what happened.

Perhaps the horrified over-reaction of the idiots demanding his punishment feeds into the neo-Nazi persecution complex more than an idiot making a joke.

Do you think Disney dropped him because of his content or because The Media made a big uproar? Do you think Disney would be justified in dropping him because he regularly displays anti-Semitic imagery?

The last few years have been a pretty much nonstop parade of "journalists" digging down into internet culture's sparsely populated subcultures to scamper back with each new festering turd of a human being they find under a rock somewhere to be placed on display for everyone to see while they tattle on them for their misdeeds. Now the same people doing this are wondering why those people are managing to lead a cadre of equally broke-brained losers who ended up finding them via those articles in the first place. Trump is an easy scapegoat for this, but he's more of a symptom than a cause. Congrats, nu-media. What a wonderful point you've led us to.

They absolutely did it because of the media uproar because if they were actually paying attention to his content and taking a stand for moral reasons they would have done it way before this.

Me neither, his voice grates on my nerves. I saw one video of his one time where he was playing some survival game where he was carrying around a dead shark and calling it Sharon and pretending he was in love with it which made me chuckle a bit but that's the extent of my Pewds experience.

Wired, The Guardian, WSJ, Salon, Polygon, Vice, Mashable, and other have taken the "He is a white national Alt Righter". I know it pains you to loving admit, but the historically widely despised and disliked media has earned that loving reputation and taken it too far once again on trying to rack ruin a youtubers career out of jealously and retaliation over the 4chan youtubers who according to their hosed up brains are somehow going to revive the 3rd Reich with bad anime and gaming memes.

What's really weird is that this isn't even loving new. The news media always tries to do this celebrities, political, and 'important' figures...it's just that they aimed so loving low this time. Kinda like with Ken Bone

I love how Felix will keep insisting he is totally not a racist and either A) keep gaining support from neo-nazis and alt-righters which will probably drive him mad, or B) make new content which slips in even more racism whether he's aware of it or not and receive even more criticism from YouTube and journalists.

So regardless of whether he's being a dickhead or not, he's put himself in a double-edged sword.

I'm not a fan of PewDiePie's content, I find it insufferably unfunny and just all around poo poo. That said, by all accounts and as far as I can tell from his actions, he is a lovely and admirable human being. He doesn't seem to have let his fame go to his head, is constantly charitable and has good values, even if I find his jokes unpleasant. The fact that the media has decided to gently caress with him is a disgrace. Out of all the big gaming personalities on YouTube, PewDiePie is close to being the best human being. I know I've said it already, but this is a loving disgrace. Shameful loving disgrace.
