Fair enough. I’ll update my original comment.

Nah, you’re excusing his behavior. He could have cursed in Swedish instead of using a racially charged word. The fact that he knew the word, knew it was bad, it came to his mind and used it is too much to be a “heated” moment.

And even if it was, there’s literally no excuses. His content is in English and his main audience is USians.

Sure thing. These people were both on his YouTube comments and on his subreddit. Tho I remember it being worse at the subreddit.

The issue is not that Nazis will watch his content, that’s outside of anyone’s control, but that his content funnels people into right-wing ideologies, which attracts these types of people.

The video “The PewDiePipeline” that I linked talks about this better than I could.

Yes because in this case it’s relevant. You are right that being mentioned by a bad person is not necessarily proof of anything. But like I said, in this case it is connected to the content and community that PewDiePie has.

If you can’t see how he hosting Shapiro and Musk, using right wing memes and rethoric, endorsing a fascist author, and allowing Nazis and other right-wingers to fester in his community is directly related with why that POS shooter mentioned him, that is precisely the problem.

That’s a common excuse used to defend the guy over and over again like it is just some isolated incident and not connected to the content he produces and the community he fosters.

I used to watch him years ago. He has a very young and impressionable audience which he constantly feeds memes with right-wing rethoric.

To list a few of the stuff I remember:

• He said the N word hard R;
• He paid people on Fiverr to show a sign saying “Death to all Jews” or something like that, where he laughed at the reveal. He said it was to prove a point that you could do harmful shit with that type of online service, but all it ended up doing was getting the guys banned from the platform and served to signal to Nazis that he would host such content;
• He allowed right-wingers to fester in his community, 4chan specially really liked the guy;
• He hosted both Ben Shapiro and Elon Musk in his channel for a “meme review”;
• He has stated multiple times that his favorite author is Mishima, a Japanese fascist, not only in the past, but also in the last year at least;
• He used to stream on some crypto bullshit site, which I don’t remember the name;
• His whole campaign against the Indian conglomerate T-Series lead not only to racist comments but also to a very racist music video he did;
• The Christchurch shooter mentioned him in a video. And while being mentioned by a shooter doesn’t necessarily mean he’s an issue, in this case it’s extremely relevant since it’s pretty clear that is a byproduct of his politics and the community he has.

There’s probably much more that I either don’t remember or don’t know about, but this is more than enough to understand where he stands politically and the harm he causes.

I also recommend the video: The PewDiePipeline.
