YouTuber PewDiePie tries Arch

Based on what an ex girlfriend told me after her study abroad in Sweden, the N word (at least back in the early 2010s) just isn’t considered as offensive there. She remembers being at a party where they played some kind of “secret Hitler” game they’d dubbed “n——r president” and being shocked about it
That card game isn't called that anymore, but 20 years ago it was the standard name for a well-known card game.

"You are but what am I" - you
Cool cool. You're so cool. Now go cry in a corner or something.

What does Japan have to do with this?
Stereotypically, white people who move to Japan are "nerds" in some sense. Nerds love Linux. Really nerdy Linux lovers always use a tiling WM.
It's only a matter of time until bro is wearing a trench coat with a cyberdeck strapped to his arm and pretending he's in some Neotokyo fantasy.
(P.S. I am a Linux loving nerd)

I said that I'm "a bit of an asshole", alluding to the fact that we are not perfect and shouldn't expect that from others.
You're kind of proving my point of black and white viewpoints, making a bunch of assumptions of my character based on very little information.
I’m not being black and white about being an asshole. I’m saying “I’m an asshole deal with it” is a terrible excuse, which pewdiepie and the like lean on.

Because it is different and I’m not saying what I did was ok. I’m using it as an example of problematic behaviour that I exhibited in the real world. I’m not proud of what I did but I also can’t change the past. I could also be a coward and pretend I’m some kind of saint which I’m not.
I’m not defending my what I did I’m also not defending people using the n word. As I said it’s something I did and something I knew was wrong the second I did it but as I said earlier I was ready to accept the social consequences of what I said to somebody.Anyways I used the story of some very bad behaviour I engaged in as an anecdote to show that when people act shitty in real life there are actual consequences mainly the possibility of getting punched. The person I said it to and his friends decided not to beat the shit out of me and I’m greatful for that because I would of deserved it.
I don’t go around using the n word and I have no idea why the fuck I said it but yeah two days of drinking not sleeping will do weird shit to your brain.
It did not seem that you thought it was an issue in previous comments but this comment makes more sense to me even if I don’t fully agree. Appreciate the explanation.

It’s fine I’m not here asking people for forgiveness or for people to defend shitty behaviour which I engaged in the real world. That’s why I find it strange that people will defend pewdiepie when he did the same shit and monetised it and did it all behind the safety of a first world country and a keyboard.

It's probably not even thought about due to chattel slavery not being a thing in Sweden. There was slavery in some of its colonies, but it was never a part of their mainland society.
Couple that with the racial diversity of Sweden having fewer than 1% black people, there's so little representation that any offense probably isn't even being heard.

Sorry, where are you getting your statistics from? The 1800s?

That I definitely agree with. For some reason people go “well I’m allowed to do this“ without any appreciation for the context of who he is and the reach he has. That dude has never apologized for anything in his life lol

Aren't you? I know I am.
The internet is a very weird place as it seems to deal entirely in black and white, judging people by singular events rather than the entirety of their character. One wrong move and you're cancelled.
Dude is not a Saint, and he never claimed to be. He got famous for playing video games, not giving lectures on moral purity. Enjoy whatever content he puts out, think he's cool, but do not put content creators on any higher a pedestal than that. At the end of the day, they're a whole-ass human being just like you.
One wrong move and you're cancelled.
Nah. It’s never one wrong move it’s entirely about how they respond to that move.
The people who get canceled are dismissive of criticism (eg make up some bullshit about how what they said wasn’t even considered bigoted where they live) and/or double down.
If someone shows true remorse and learning they’ll be forgiven.

That feels like a wild overgeneralisation although I'm also a Linux loving nerd who would like to move to Japan

Wikipedia has it at 1.5-2% but that's only for people born in Africa who immigrated to sweden, it doesn't include natural born citizens, so that's probably where they got their info from.

Isn’t this guy a bit of an asshole?
every popular mainstream YouTuber seems kinda bad tbh

Cool cool. You're so cool. Now go cry in a corner or something.
Go and watch some Bryan Lunduke on your suckless desktop or something.

Thank you this is such an important thing that often goes unsaid. We are all really busy people, all of us, and we don’t have time to microanalyze the nuance of very person’s situation.
If you’re a public personality and you do/say something awful - how you act when called out is all most people are going to see or care about. If you don’t acknowledge you were wrong then I assume the bad action was deliberate and I move on. Life is too busy to give attention to people that act badly and then refuse to apologize or take responsibility.
