Idk if people don't like his humor they could just not watch his YouTube if people don't like the papers take on it then they don't have to read it :shrug:

you kind of have to watch and read these things to know if you like it or not, people have been saying "oh I'm unsubbing to WSJ cause this is not what I paid to see" is a good form of that

same goes for "pewdiepie i didn't sub for neo nazi jokes I'm unsubbing"

well, referring specifically to sargom & his skeptic friends, the thing is their comments sections
see, they've got alt-right cooties!

and thus the rules for correct behavior move from don't say racist things one step further to don't say things a racist might agree with, because if a racist agrees with you that makes you a racist

The success of 'envelope-pushing' humour depends entirely on whether you get away with it: if you can manage to say something 'offensive' in an inoffensive way.

If you yell 'Heil Hitler' in public for irony and nobody gets the joke, and you lose your job, then you're not 'edgy'. You've toppled over the edge and joined other (rich) comedy-failures like Michael Richards and Sam Hide.

The people judging whether or not you "get away with it" should be your audience, not a bunch of prudes making their money being offended at everything.

i've liked vidme a lot recently since it doesnt have ads, but i think it works on some twitch donation system which probably pays much less for the people that actually want to make money off videos (ew)

really good site for mirroring stuff that gets auto-claimed by crazy youtube men that I like to riff on

Are you saying Michael Richards called those black people "niggers" ironically? I don't believe that was the case...

Actually, your employer determines whether you have a job and get paid, etc.

You seem to have bought into this free-market ideology where companies must supply what you demand (a Swedish idiot screaming Rape over and over), and 'bad people' are impeding the smooth functioning of the market (and therefore your libertarian freedom) by firing him.

This is because you are stupid.

seriously, the YouTube skeptic fans get offended just as easily as the rainbow haired sjw they so despise

having a racist subsection in a fanbase doesn't necessarily mean one's content is bad, but when the fake nazis are the ones upvoted to the top, perhaps one should take a long hard look at oneself and ask "why am I so eager to lie about spamming interracial gay porn on tweeter"

I don't know if his contract had any kind of "morals clause" or whatever, but at a certain point a company evaluating whether or not someone could be damaging to their brand isn't exactly unexpected.

That being said, I won't give YouTube or anyone else a single loving ounce of credit, given that (as has been pointed out) if they actually gave a poo poo they'd have done something months ago on their own.

Your entire stance is based on the premise that there are 'good' (libertarian) corporations - that Disney is 'bad' merely because they are refusing to supply (denying you access to) the unlimited Rape-Themed Let's Plays that you demand.

In other words you are paying top dollar for a Disney animatronic to suck your cock, and complaining that they aren't doing a good job of it, saying that you'll pay them less money next time unless Robot Mickey Mouse tongues your rear end too. And the ride operator just shrugs.
