just curious: what's your beef with pewdiepie? i've never personally been a fan of his or anything but why is everyone suddenly shitting on him?? especially on tumblr i mean what tf did i miss??
alright…this is gonna be long so…english is not my first language and i don’t have a lot of patience because i’m already writing a big response to check every word hope you understand and i apologize in advance for any mistakes
first let’s start with what he did, pewdiepie was long before this mess of antisemitic jokes known for making causal homophobic and rape jokes along with one video were he kind of made fun of feminism, while that was in bad taste and pretty unnecessary from him it’s pointless to argue about it or try to stop it in my opinion since a lot of let’s plays youtubers do the same stuff and people in general love offensive humor cause it’s easiest and gets you a lot of attention; but he never made (as far as i know i could be wrong) whole video or half of it about one offensive thing but since last fall and up until now (he or youtube took down those videos now) he made couple videos dressed as hitler or with trumps hat “make america great again” listening to hitler’s speech and the thing that really blow up was a video were he on some site called Fiverr paid two guys (it was around 5 bucks or something idk) to dance and hold sign “death to all jews” he said that he wasn’t expecting them to do it and he was only trying to see how far people will go for some money and tried to show how stupid that site is, however a lot of media wrote shocking headlines and after some time Disney cut ties with him and youtube also did something i guess idk for sure i don’t understand how that works but he can still posts his videos and talk about whatever he wants
i hope by now you can see why i’m not a huge fan of him and look i wouldn’t care that much (and i think a lot of other ppl too) if he like didn’t have 3-4 milion views on every video and all the young kids and teenagers looking at him like he’s god or something; but what really REALLY worries me is the disconnection between “message” that pewdiepie wants to send (like how it’s just a joke and he’s not really hating jewish people) and the comments on his videos and his fans and the fact that neo-nazi website The Daily Stormer are now defending pewdiepie, while a lot of white supremacy groups are calling him “our guy”; like a lot of ppl don’t see that as a joke and even the ones who see that are trying to make it a real thing to fit their ideology; of course you can’t be responsible for every person or comment you get on your video but when most of it are ppl saying “jews control everything that’s why he got in trouble” or like a a lot of racist and overall horrible things i don’t want to write
and another thing that worries me is how many times on his defense and response video he blames media for all of that and clickbait articles and how many comments are “just replace pewdiepe with trump” , “they are doing this to trump too”; while i agree that media loves to blow up everything and sometimes just lie and take stuff out of context their is a reason why a false story with pewdiepie hitting his girlfriend didn’t go very far or cost him work with Disney but this did, because you know it’s actually based on some truth like they didn’t just pull everything out of their ass ya know, while i don’t like to call everybody nazi who makes offensive jokes because i’m scared when real nazi comes along (and by that i mean they are already coming along) nobody will take us seriously (but that’s whole other story);
and now a lot of other youtubers are defending him and making jokes about PC culture;it’s fodder to fuel the whole “being offended is so stupid” movement and fails to take into account the actual times when people should speak up; that’s the shitty part of it all; also the fact that in this day and age when it’s clear to see that nazi and white supremacy groups are coming back in bigger numbers it’s not the best time to try your “edgy” humor and give people more reason to hate oppressed groups for being “sensitive”, besides can you really not think of any better jokes like really…
