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.

youtube and disney didnt drop him because of this trumped up bullshit. i think maybe it had something to do with his increasingly anti-media message?

obviously youtube cares more about him mocking their new youtube stars program, and is using it as a convenient excuse.

pewdeepie was heavily promoted by youtube and made a bunch of money for them. The only reason they would stop making money off him is if they were to profit off something offensive, like antisemitism.

If he was really trying to be funny at mocking YouTube's terms, he'd find a clever way about it...but he lacks any real wit and just goes for lame shock humour. Also he thought he was being so clever by showing off how dumb Fiverr was, but 1. It was already done before (for example, a group of Indian kids would read sentences from a board like "feminism is cancer" and "420 blaze it human being", the money maybe came from 4chan users or not); 2. There were already a couple of guys like Rog and Tyrone who'd say anything their customers paid for; so if anything...he didn't really 'exploit' the website but tried to be as edgy as possible with it while being completely unaware of moral sense.

so i individually went to each lovely magazine and tabloid (ok salon and the guardian might count as actual news reporting), and read through their horrific treatment and terrible misconstrusion of this delicate issue in which rich man pays people in 3rd world country to death_to_all_jews.exe

REASONABLE
Gizmodo, Polygon, Kotaku (lol), Mashable, The Guardian ("the video did not promote nazi ideaology"! wow! scathing!), Salon

MEAN
Vice Magazine, WSJ (more like sjw amirite)

in which the reasonable ones did not call our beloved rape screech man a nazi, and included due context in their articles.

as we can see, this is a horrific media dogpile, truly kill_all_jews is a crusade for good and justice. thank god for pewdiepie

ah, you might not think the issue affects you, but what if one day you start a sweet prank channel where you dress up in a nazi uniform and begin yelling sig heil in the streets. if things continue the way they're going, the media's going to totally misconstrue your hilarious jokes and voraciously demonize you, causing you to gain thousands of subscribers and get tonnes of publicity

Happening meter: Sargon hosted a livestream about this, which isn't newsworthy. Then JonTron, Boogie, and Phil DeFranco showed up.

It's absolutely a battle of content creators vs. legacy media at this point, and the stream was fairly unironically talking about fundraising enough money to buy some legacy media outlets just to put them out of their misery.

In case anyone needs this spelled out any harder: They wrote articles saying that advertisers need to be "careful" about working with YouTube content creators, and literally-not-metaphorically took a snapshot of PewDiePie pointing at something offscreen then printed the word Nazi to make it look like he was doing a salute.

It is absolutely about them being jealous of clicks and sponsorship deals.

If they want war, then By God let's give it to them, etc etc.

Big Man Tyrone has some sort of filter to his content. Mostly because he both has rules now like no cuss words and one video is like $50 dollars jfc

He didn't apologize for using the word "retarded" in context, and he called out SJWs and anyone who blindly hated on Trump on twitter (like the founding fathers tweet), and he realised how low game grumps was sinking and wanted to get back to making his own content again.

so I feel he's one of those few youtubers who actually has sense.

warnign srspost o no

You can't blanket opinions or people in very vague terms like that. It's purposeful devaluation of discussion in order to demonize people you don't like or to praise the ones you do. Like for example I have no idea why people think deportation in general is racist, it's loving illegal and applies to all races and people who decide to jump the wall or swim thru the Atlantic.

Labels like "alt-right" or "left-right" or whatever are dumb too. You are completely free to form your own opinions based on your own analysis of information rather than side with some group. It's why the term "femenist" has become so toxic lately, where people who want equality between sexes having to distance themselves from that movement. Also you are free to watch as many Youtuber skeptic people as you like, most of them have some humor to them. You are free to agree or disagree with whatever they say, which is how debate is formed. I've never read D&D do people actually consider this stuff or just froth at the mouth about meme politics?
