PewDiePie has switched to Linux
-
You can game “now” ? 🤨
Well, you can… in fact you you could also before… but it's technically correct
-
Were they ever?
-
I mean it's easier and vastly more compatible than it was even a couple years ago thanks to the proton devs.
-
A few years ago I could see this but doesn't he just do family content now?
-
What's wrong with PewDiePie? I thought he was a wholesome guy? I haven't watched him in a while i confess.
-
I mean, he was partnered with Disney before "the bridge incident" too...
-
he did a stream in an SS uniform, he has said the n-word (as an insult) during streams, his earliest content was all about screaming "rape", and he paid people on fiverr to hold up signs saying "death to jews". he was never wholesome.
however, he did these things not out of reflex but because he cultivated an audience that want it. it was mutual radicalization.
-
I don't think he is or was a nazi. I think he made lots of dark fucked up jokes like many other major youtubers. For example: iDubbzz, Filthy Frank, and h3h3. I think he regrets it like many of his fans who laughed at those dark jokes. I laughed at lots of fucked up shit I find very distastful now. People grow up, people change.
-
-
Has he shown change, though? Why would you just assume stuff like that?
-
Yeah I kind of forgot about that. I really don't think he did it from a place of hate. I think he made dark jokes to stay relavant like many other YouTubers. I think he most likely regrets it.
-
Because I assume most people are good people. We all make mistakes. But comparing PewDiePie to someone like Kanye West or Elon Musk doesn't really seem fair. I don't know, I could be wrong.
-
accidentally saying the n-word in a moment of frustration like he says it all the time off-stream and briefly forgot he was on camera is not a dark joke. It's just using a racial slur naturally and automatically because that's the kind of person he is. No need to make excuses for him.
-
Okay, I get what you're saying. I really do. But have you ever played in a Call of Duty lobby? You can't play for 20 minutes without hearing it, at least back then. Also Sweden doesn't have the same history with the n word as we do in the US. I assume it's not as frowned upon to use there, though probably not appreciated either. He should know that his international audience may not take kindly to it but that's a seperate issue. Just to clarify, I don't believe he or any white person should be using the n word.
-
Where's my 15 minutes of fame?
You squandered it in 1993.
-
Who cares?

He's kinda grown up with his audience. I dropped out of watching as I hit adulthood, then tuned back in for his "meme review" phase, where the inside joke was that everyone watching was a nine-year-old, when in reality he already had an aging audience.
He eventually grew bored with the format (and at that point already he made it clear he was doing it for fun, not because he needed to). The view counts steadily trended downwards as he switched to making videos he wanted to make, instead of ones that made money, as he was set by then.
At some point he ran a book-club style format, because he wanted to get into reading more. At least some portion of the fanbase was into that, but at that point he lost a lot of viewership.
Nowadays he seems to post very infrequently, and it seems to mostly be vlog-style content about family life and living in Japan.

Mutahar is in the comment section of the video ^^
Second Monthly Linux Video incoming...

Yeah you just think that if a white person does use the n-word it's not such a bad thing. You've had several people explain this to you in this thread, and yet here you are, trying to minimize his behaviour.
I get the feeling you already had your opinion before your first comment, and you're feigning ignorance to give your continual defence of his actions the appearance of neutrality.
-
Ah yes, spreading misinformation on the Internet.
