My brother spent all last night getting pissed as gently caress at Rainbow Six. I heard him flat out smacking his controller into his desk. I never once heard the n-word though. He was dropping f-bombs and c-bombs and poo poo, but no n-bombs.

Pewds is trash man.

Literally me when getting my rear end kicked at BF1.

Most people don't blurt out slurs when they're mad, especially racial ones.

I have actual skeletons in my closet
The problem with white people saying the n word is that they reinforce its use every time it is said. So if you said it as a dumb teen, it makes more acceptable as an adult. If you said in anger about something irl, then it makes it acceptable when you say it online. The n word is always this chicken and the egg situation but instead like racist white people or white racist people or whatever the gently caress stupid analogy. Pewd may never say the n word to a black person from America. He contribute to its use and acceptance so when a dumbass white people get their rear end kicked, they go "but but it was just a joke man!"

That he said it in a moment of uncontrolled anger says to me that he's repressing saying it at other times, so it's something along the same lines as a Freudian slip, in that it provides a window into a part of his mind that he otherwise keeps secret.

Not like it's exactly surprising to hear that he said it, given his past comments, but I hate the "he just made a mistake", "black people are the real racists", "it's only offensive to you", etc. apologists that swim in the wake of a comment like this.

Guy's racist but has enough self-awareness to know that he can't go full-on 1488 without losing a ton of future money, so we only get occasional glimpses of what he really thinks.

Mostly just an idiot. He probably doesn't think aboit politics much but the alt-right will always be there to coddle him when he fucks up and tell him he doesn't have to change.

he's a really dumb person who's 'gamer racist' - hasn't quite transitioned from 'ironic racism' to 'gas all jews no seriously' like 4chan has. Also he thinks he's super smart because he somehow got to be the biggest youtube channel, but it really dumb about other things - like WSJ "doxxing and stalking him" because a reporter showed up at his door asking for an interview about a story.

Jim Sterling did a good video on this poo poo today and I generally come down on his side - takedowns and Pewdiepie both suck, but I resent the latter all the more for making the former seem downright reasonable.

He ain't dumb, he knows exactly what he is doing, and why he is doing it. That is why he is a piece of poo poo.

I was in an ultra-rural part of the south and not racist either, but that's mainly thanks to my parents.

I never get tired of seeing Blaire White begging to be the first one put into the oven. I used to think she was a grifter playing the pepe crowd that secretly jacks off to trans porn, but after seeing her conversation with Contrapoints I know that she is in fact a moron. She's not even one of those self-hating bootlickers--she's just scum who can't connect her own experience with anyone or anything outside of herself.

I don't think PDP is really alt-right, at least in the sense that he has any political goals or anything like that. He's more of a megalomaniacal idiot who let the popularity of his screaming at video games videos go way to his head. Now he is perfectly ok being coddled by alt-right shitheads who tell him he's fine just the way he is despite evidence to the contrary. He's certainly helped normalize lovely behavior, and I'd prefer if he went away forever.
