I just think it's pretty cool that Felix, who has never really mentioned anything Linux before, chose to go with a Linux distro for the PC he put together.

Linux doesn't make up for being a nazi.

I seem to be a bit behind on pewdiepie being a nazi sympathizer, mind enlightening me?

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 60 points 5 months ago (2 children)

This video is a good place to start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnmRYRRDbuw

Last I heard, Pewdiepie has been trying to pass it off as jokes, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. (And whether or not he's "a nazi" deep in his heart doesn't matter. He's doing and spreading naziism.)

He made that as a waful joke, to the point even his fans also asking him to stop making those edgy jokes. He used to make N-word or any edgy joke because he was toxic gamer mentality. I remember seeing a total backlash on Pewdiepie official subreddit.

After the incident, he stopped making any edgy jokes. All of his content in the past half decade are basically wholesome or hobbyist stuff. He also recognize his mistake on several occasion.

I don't know who he is, just that he's some kind of YouTube celebrity. Apparently, if he's not an extremist, he's a braindead idiot. I'm not sure it's actually much better. Well, maybe a wee bit better, but not by much.

Not gonna watch the alt-right fetishist just because his mask is back on. Hard pass.

[–] poke@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 months ago

People can change. Not everyone is born aware of the seriousness of making that kind of joke.

I personally don't follow him so I don't personally have an opinion on whether he has changed, but I believe that people have the capability.

[–] nasi_goreng@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

He already said publicly multiple times that what he his edgy joke in the past is wrong. We should embrace people progress into a better individual, right?

All of his content in the past five years after that incident also all wholesome or positive stuff. No more edginess or even slur.

I just watched the video, and it's a mix of good points and FUD IMO coming from a very specific worldview (esp with the art style and music choice). I do think it's worth a watch, as it challenges the predominant view and encourages you to think.

Thanks for linking it! I disagree with some of the conclusions, but it was useful nonetheless.

To what are you referring to?

[–] lime@feddit.nu 32 points 5 months ago (4 children)

the streaming in an SS uniform and paying people on fiverr to hold up signs saying "death to all jews", probably

[–] Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works 9 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

the streaming in an SS uniform […]

Do you have a source?

This I see the points. Im sure they were clickbait edgy “jokes” but ofcourse someone with such a huge following should not be making these kinds of references. Thanks for the info!

[–] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

i posted in another thread that got removed that really the important takeaway from what happened is that as he and his audience radicalized eachother. the people who didn't want to see the edgy stuff left, and he made no effort to distance himself from it at the time, so more edgy people started following him. in the end you had what the in-group saw as edgy humour while the rest of the world saw nazi shit. and like the "layers of irony" thing that 4chan had going a few years ago, what the in-group thinks its projecting doesn't matter.

[–] Jthyme@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

Yeah, i stopped watching him for a number of hears when the edgy-ness was in full force. I enjoy his recent content since he has settled down in Japan, but I wont forget the dark years.

[–] lefixxx@lemmy.world -2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You don't know what you are talking about. He never wore a Nazi uniform and that Fiverr thing was a joke. He tried to see what would be the most horrible thing a Fiverr would so.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

i don't care what he says the intentions were, just like i don't care what Elon and Bannon's intentions were with their "unfortunate gestures". a normal human being would never have thought to do that. the intentions don't matter, only the actions.

[–] lefixxx@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago

Elon musk is an oligarchs who spoke to a neonazi party, lies and gaslights and the list of shitty things he said or did is longer than Samuel Jackson's Imdb page.

PewDiePie is a video creator that has thousands of hours of innocent content with three jokes that were too edgy. Which he then apologized and condemned the ideas that he misrepresented.

[–] Jthyme@sh.itjust.works -2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Im pretty sure you are referring to him wearing a british military uniform. Also he did not have anyone say death to all jews. Provide source and I will correct this though.

[–] Mwa@lemm.ee 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No wonder why pewdiepie fell off.
