Who are the giant streamers that regularly do this

Pewdiepie is basically an open nazi at this point and pretty much every major streamer including 'family friendly' ones came out in support of him and begged people to subscribe to his youtube when it looked like a scary brown people bollywood channel might outdo him. He was also courted by twitch in the wake of his 'gas the jews' propaganda. Ninja clearly did not receive that much flack since he made 10 million dollars and got invited on Ellen despite slinging a racial slur in front of children.

Youtube's algorithms actively recommend alt-right and alt-right adjacent propaganda to people, up to and including playing ads for the alt-right propaganda machine PragerU in front of videos. There have been multiple articles about this, please do some research on this because you are sounding woefully ignorant at best and deliberately disingenuous at worst.

Jesus christ, I literally already mentioned Pewdiepie and addressed him. Why don't you actually read the discussion if you're gonna try to perpetuate it?

If you go back to the original quote chain I was responding to, I was specifically asking what big streamers are actively spreading alt-right propaganda because that is literally what someone said. Ninja saying the n-word once is lovely but its not the same thing. Yes, I know Pewdiepie has done it, but again he's not a Twitch streamer which is what was specifically being discussed at first. Youtube and its rat nest of problems was not the original subject and my only extent of defending that lovely site was too say not all youtubers are nazis. And before you accuse me of splitting hairs, its actually important to distinguish between actively supporting alt-right material and just trying to ignore it. Mainly because when people see some being targeted for the former, they think they are in the clear even if they are passively allowing it to perpetuate.

I don't even need to talk about slurs and money to not like Ninja, dude is like a brick wall to bounce things off of and every single time they try to pair him with someone else for anything, and especially comedy, the dude has negative charisma. Its not his fault since his skill is solo-filling dead air with nothing but visuals to play off of, but it drives me crazu whenever he appears in other stuff.

and especially the 'comedy' gamers on youtube like crowbcat and dunkey, people keep posting their videos even here when those people have dropped slurs in the past (and one of those two even did a 'we wuz kangz' joke during the assassins creed origins reveal which is basically racism ground zero)

dunkey was too toxic for LEAGUE OF LEGENDS and got banned from it lol

then he whined about it

quote:

“I’ve been consistently putting out League videos since I started out on YouTube,” Dunkey, who has 1.8 million followers on YouTube, said. “So I emailed Riot, I said hey, can you guys unban me so I can finish this video up?

“Now keep in mind, during my whole career of being the top guy promoting their game, for four years, Riot has done almost nothing to help me out or promote me. And I emailed them for this first and only favor, and they respond to me, ‘nope, you’re toxic.’

“And that’s when I realized that this company doesn’t appreciate me at all, or anything I stand for. I think multiplayer games should reward the time and practice you put into them, and that you should be able to call other people scum gently caress bastards, and connect with your friends and have fun playing with them. And League of Legends offers none of these things. So I’m done with it.”

people accused him of using slurs in the game as well

so thats two strikes, using slurs AND playing league of legends

He has some game opinions I disagree with and his shtick can get kind of annoying at times, but as far as I know he's been pretty consistently alright in the last several years. Maybe in his younger days he posted some regrettable stuff but he seems to have genuinely come around since if so.

Jim Sterling's most problematic opinion is that he thinks it's hilarious when he says TRIPLE EHHHHHHH over and over in every video

Oh yeah and he used to dress like a Nazi, remember those days, when it was ridiculous and could be treated as a joke, and now we've got actual gamer nazis everywhere jesus christ

worst thing about people as big as ninja/pewdiepie is their massive reach with kids, so when PDP links to a nazi channel and calls it great, all the kids go to that channel and sub to it, and get indoctrinated

ninja hasn't done anything like that at least

but i can still laugh at him trying to get a bunch of cold rained on tourists in new york to do the floss and failing

i have to disagree about Jim's videos being all the same; it is more due to the fact that the games industry is unrelenting in how many different ways of loving players over they try to implement

also every steam sale I tell myself I'll finish a bunch of badges and then sell all my cards before the sale ends and welp its already the last day and im too lazy at this point
