Hopefully not because fuck that asshole.
More censorship.
We need better communities.
He can host his own instance, then you're free to block it.
I absolutely will. That guy is toxic af and I'm surprised people here support him, especially given the extreme left leaning nature of Lemmy.
Do you think PewDiePie is right leaning because he said the N word?
More so for being/cosplaying (same thing) as a fucking nazi https://www.vox.com/culture/2017/2/17/14613234/pewdiepie-nazi-satire-alt-right
Nah doesn't really scream Nazi to me. PewDiePie being an edgelord is such a non factor. I've never been a fan but I've done the song and dance about this stuff, those aren't his views.
"Kjellberg tacitly compares himself to Hitler, gives a Nazi salute, and shows a series of clips of Nazi imagery, including a crowd of Nazis saluting, Nazi soldiers marching, and footage of Hitler Youth."
Yeah, if you don't see "nazi" after that, that's on you I think.
I watched the video. Cherry picking a man's career that's over a decade to frame him a way, weak as fuck.
Yeah, because there hasn't been anything since then, right?
https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/youtube-star-apologizes-controversial-video-220742348.html
Or does the counter automatically get reset every time there's another apology video? There have been so many, after all.
The lengths some of you all go to in order to defend a racist, Nazi-cosplaying edgelord who makes fun of people with disabilities is a little insane.
Again a bullshit article on yahoo.
He made fun of a deaf girl's nails and said he's not listening to her video. I dunno poor taste but if you're pissing your pants and trying to castrate this dude, you've got issues.
Like all of his fanboys, you first attempted to minimize his history by saying it was all about him saying the "N" word. When I said it was actually more than that and provided info about the most egregious example, you said "oh, that was so long ago!". I provide info on another incident from 3 years ago, and you're complaining about how I'm trying to castrate the guy.
If you don't like factual statements about his history of behavior and the obvious patterns, maybe don't idolize an asshole? But don't come into public spaces and try and sell it as "Oh, he just said a naughty word once. Isn't weird how upset people were about that? He was young/it was a long time ago/he's changed now."
You're the one who has issues. Pewdiepie literally promotes himself as a nazi yet youre too blind to see it
Idc what his politics are. But I care that he said the N word yes. You don't?
Less so. Smarter people have said and done dumber shit. Someone saying a bad word doesn't really shake my britches that bad.
You're kind of a piece of shit :-/
because I don't crucify a guy for saying the N word? lick my balls dude
Its more than that, if you read this thread you would know
You seem to be holding onto a lot of hate for something a very different guy did 10+ years ago. He's gotten married, had a kid and moved his family to Japan since his young edgy days.
He absolutely deserved criticism for the stupid shit he was doing when his channel was exploding, but I think holding onto that level of vitriol for this long isn't healthy.
People are allowed to grow and change. Im sure you said or did some incredibly stupid shit in your teenage and young adult years. I know I fucking did. If we never allow people to grow and change for the better then we are permanently locking each person to their lowest point and holding them there forever. I think that is an incredible robotic and inhuman way to approach the human condition.
Yeah his fans are little assholes too.
Not liking someone is not a good reason to root against decentralized platforms, IMO. The entire point of decentralization is that nobody gets to control the experience and who is/isn't allowed to participate.
