He has a long history of incidents like, “Hey, why are you following those white supremacist accounts on Twitter and promoting their books?” or “Oops, I was wearing an iron cross just as a joke!” and “I paid a dude to yell, ‘I hate Jews!’ as a prank, bro.”
He’s not being an edgelord anymore so that’s something. If he has grown and changed as a person he should be forgiven. I don’t believe he has done anything unforgivable. I don’t know that he has ever formerly aplogized but I don’t believe he is the same person he was. As leftists we need to be able to forgive people who made fucked up jokes. If we can’t do that then I don’t see how we are supposed to grow as a movement.
He did more than make fucked up jokes, though. He was pushing white supremacist accounts that he followed on social media at one point to his young and impressionable audience. The proof is in the pudding, as they say, and he hasn’t done anything to rectify that situation one way or the other. Given the evidence we have, he could’ve simply started wearing his iron cross behind closed doors instead of on stream.
Having lived long enough to see the edgy teenagers making 4channer jokes grow up to and have those become their actual beliefs, I believe in Philosophical Inertia. You say something often enough, and it becomes what you truly believe. And until you prove otherwise, I am going to assume that your beliefs continue on that same course.
Disliking actual Nazis, instead of wasting your anger on this guy. He’s just used to be edgy. Not to mention he’s not even edgy anymore. He’s actually a pretty cool guy.
dude one time is fine. this dude did it several times. you can only go “oops I accidentally nazi’d” so many times. plus even if you’re not a so-called “actual nazi” there’s not much distinction in why exactly you use your platform to push our normalize nazism. I don’t give a fuck what’s in your heart; ironically fucking a goat is still fucking a goat.
I can forgive people for being edgy back in the day, IF they apologize and explain why what they did was wrong. Pdp did nothing and just brushed it under the rug.
That is not true though. He has apologized, and has shown remorse, and has never done anything similar since. So he has learned from his mistakes. If you search for it, he has a video about the whole thing.
Fuck this nazi.
I may not be entirely up to date but why pewdiepie is nazi
i have the same question
If only there were some way to search the internet for info. 🤔

You all are still on that train from 2017?
Depends, did he change and grow as a person?

Do you think disliking nazis was something we were supposed to stop doing at some point?

Parasocial relationship much?

That’s why I fuck goats unironically, so there’s no question about my intentions
that’s more respectable than nazis hiding behind jokes

I don’t care enough about pewdiepie to search for it, but if you link it I’ll watch it.
revealing much more than you meant to by insinuating that opposition to fascism is a trend line you hope to be on the edgiest side of.
Enjoy your downvotes.
No, no, don’t fuck Nazis ever. Punch them.
