Disney Severs Ties With PewDiePie Over Anti-Semitic Posts • Page 5

  1. I can't believe some people are on PewDiePie's side. Don't you have... idk... some empathy for minorities or something ?

    It doesn't matter to me at all whether or not PewDiePie is racist. What he did was racist. He can do whatever kind of charity he wants outside of this. It doesn't change that:

    1. What he did was racist. Intentional or not, it was racist, was created by racist undertones, and presented blatantly racist.
    2. Anyone more concerned with whether or not they themselves are racist than whether or not what they're saying is harming people is racist. Automatically shutting out a constructive voice to improve your status quo is racist (in my opinion).

    What's also messed up is that people like ReviewTechUSA call Pewdiepie out on his bullshit, but is then attacked by his own audience so he removes his video... How the hell can people defend Pewdiepie with the garbage he pulled? The joke defense is so weak too, I guess what Kramer did years ago in the comedy club was fine too for these jerks, right? (Trying to keep the language in this post clean XD).

    Seriously, is there anything wrong in this (re-uploaded) video (again, ReviewTechUSA is calling out Pewdiepie on his garbage) to the point that he had to be attacked, and have it removed?



    I don't know how anyone can defend Pewdiepie, the guy's a douchbag. In fact I saw another one of his removed videos (The 'I'M BANNED..' one if anyone is curious) that cemented that belief

    The youtuber defending him is Jewish if that means anything.

    In my opinion, it doesn't. One Jewish person can't speak for every Jewish person.

    For example (please correct me if I'm wrong): myself and another user here are both from Jewish families (his whole family, half my family). There was a song released by an artist we both like with a tasteless anti-Semitic line. I wasn't personally offended, he thought it was tasteless. In my opinion, me not thinking it was a big deal doesn't make it not a big deal. It's still a big deal to him and other Jewish people and it's still inherently wrong, and I can recognize that and stick up for them even if, to me personally, it didn't affect me much to hear it.

    Even though I don't feel bad for the guy at all because he knew what he was was doing, the facts about ignoring context is pretty interesting to me given everyones reaction.

    Is there a rule where if you want to make money through YouTube you have to use the most obnoxious looking still ever?

    I'm not gonna waste ten minutes watching a famous YouTuber but as far as I can tell no context was ignored. He was making shitty, not funny jokes. They involved symbols of hate and anti-semitism. He suffered consequences.
