PewDiePie has switched to Linux
-
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.

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.
-
I don't care about Nazis switching to Linux and neither should you. Not a good look.
-
It is a bad thing. I don't support white people saying the n word. I clearly stated that.
-
you're correct, the n-word was just one of many common and non-loaded casual swears
-
You are being ignorant not the other commenter.
Just because you think a word is offending anyone somewhere doesn't mean that the person who used that exact word intended to be offensive against someone anywhere in the world.
The word just has a different meaning to some people.
-
Again, not what I said. Do you actually want to talk? Or do you want to keep throwing insults my way? I'm not a hateful person and I don't appreciate your attacks.
-
Chill, she is ignorant, not you
-
Called out, deleted comment. The actions of an innocent man, lol. Crawl back under your rock.
-
Funny thing about that: it doesn't actually matter if he self-identifies as a Nazi or not what he intended; the shit he did radicalized people into Nazis all the same.
-
It only doesn't seem fair because those two aren't hiding it.
-
So what are the "other" meanings of the n-word. Educate me. In fact, use it in a sentence if it's not a problem. Use the full word in a sentence, without censoring it, right here, in the reply to this comment. See if anyone will agree with you then.
Be brave, do it, put your money where your mouth is.
-
It probably could have been better worded I confess. If that's how it read than I don't want it. Do you want to talk? I think we're more similar than we are different. I understand you have strong feelings about it, I really do. I agree with you more than I disagree. I'm trying to be open are you?

Shaka bra
