Harrow posted:I think Pewdiepie is self-aware enough to know that him making a huge deal out of it probably wouldn't lead to anything productive. He's a little poo poo, yes, but he isn't a crusading little poo poo. Up until now, at least, he doesn't really seem like the kind of guy who'd respond to this by suing on principle, y'know?

temple posted:He's going to lawyer but lol if you pdp won't bitch endlessly about it. You see how he acted about the (((washington post))). Yeah, he'll probably complain about it, but my guess is that he's unlikely to pursue actual legal action, especially for something comparatively minor like this. He's not an ideological crusader, and unless this is what pushes him over the edge into full-on alt-right territory, I don't really see him spending a bunch of money to try to sue Campo Santo just to prove a point over what is likely a negligible amount of lost income from his Firewatch videos.

lol Joe Rogan made fun of New Zealand basketball players doing the Haka and: Later, Rogan posted on social media that he had "got a bunch of messages today from people in New Zealand p..... off that I made fun of people doing the haka at a basketball game. "For the record, before I apologise to anyone I offended I just want you all to know that I've also called it "one of the dopest war dances the world has ever known". "I was just making fun of the fact that they were doing it at a basketball game and that the American players they were competing with were staring at them looking kinda confused. "On my podcast we make fun of a lot of s.... . We get high, we get silly and we try to be funny. If I thought that many people from New Zealand would get p..... off I would have never said it, or I would have tried to make fun of the situation in a more respectful way. "Being American I'm ignorant to what the Haka means to the culture of the people of New Zealand, and unfortunately I p..... some people off by joking around, and for that I sincerely apologise. "What's really f..... up about it is that I actually think the Haka is amazing and we've talked about it being a pretty incredible thing to watch many times. I was just making fun of one moment where it looked out of place in a basketball game. "My sincerest apologies to the people of New Zealand." https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/basketball/96735100/joe-rogan-apologises-to-new-zealand-over-stupid-haka-remark

Honestly it's a better apology than I was expecting out of him. Still used the "If anyone was offended.." cop out. Mike Matei's 10 year old racist comics were dug up recently but apparently he's not a big enough deal so he ignored it and the controversy just went away.

I don't understand the huge number of youtube comments along the lines of "He said it because he was frustrated so it's okay, he said it towards another white person so he's not racist and why would it be racist anyways because black people say it to each other all the time."

An unfortunate amount of people genuinely believe that you cannot be racist unless you have explicit intent to do so. And also, they realllllly want to say the n-word.

 Although it's related to poo poo PDP did a few months ago this thing is still hilarious. Really though it goes to show the centralist mentality of most big youtubers, and then comes the day when it blows up in their faces that they've actively been courting reactionaries by continuing their use of false equivalencies. quote:It's a middle ground the husband and wife partnership like to straddle. "I don't want to be on the alt-right and I don't want to be on the left, where it's never OK to say anything offensive," says Ethan. "I make what I want, and sometimes my videos appeal to the alt-right, and sometimes they appeal to the social justice warrior left, or whatever you want to call it. I don't identify with either of them." Doc Neutral fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Sep 12, 2017 |

I don't know if it's really centrism so much as the big Youtubers being cowards who are afraid the easy life they've carved out will vanish if they criticize somebody with a big fan base.

H3H3/Idubbz/Filthy Frank and that whole "scene" keep talking about how they don't want to be see as "allied" with internet Nazis, but are okay enough with them to not try to drive them away from their audience. If you really don't want to be associated with Nazis, then tell the Nazis to gently caress off. "Why do we have to take a side!?" That's such an unintelligent conclusion to make about the situation. Your only choice isn't to either side with the Nazis or side with people who are not Nazis. You can just tell the Nazis to gently caress off and that they are not welcome.

It's kinda amusing seeing Youtubers take that false middle ground approach because at least I can thankful for the ones that do seem to give a drat, like how Achievement Hunter and Roosterteeth's personalities all seem to loath the Alt Reich. They don't go out of their way to tell the audience to gently caress off if they don't like it but it comes close. Is there any correlation between tubers that work with other people versus those that work as a part of a larger group in terms of how lovely they are?

Joe Rogan's seems fine, but that's also just because what kicked it off doesn't seem like that huge of a thing? If it really was "lol the american players don't know what the hell's going on with the crazy dance" that doesn't sound like it was trying to be lovely to anyone, he could've just ignored it but it bothered some people and he apologized, so good on him. PDP is a trash creature as ever though.
