Pewds has been dabbling more in Linux and engineering content lately, and considering he's essentially retired and doesn’t rely on YouTube ad revenue anymore, wouldn’t it be amazing if he also started posting his videos on PeerTube in parallel?

He can definitely afford to support decentralized platforms and wouldn’t be held back by monetization concerns. With his reach, even just mirroring his content to PeerTube could bring massive attention to the Fediverse. Do you think he'd ever consider it?

Always cracks me up watching Gen Z froth at the mouth defending him.

Mass shooters believe he is a nazi. Sounds like the narrative got away from him no matter how much you parasocially defend him.

I'm older than PewDiePie. I have two little brothers that grew up watching him religiously so I ended up seeing a lot of his content and being looped in on his controversies.

What mentally insane people believe is completely irrelevant. Plenty of insane people have taken words of peace and love and somehow found ways to twist them into calls of violence.

Using mentally deranged peoples actions to blame a public figure is actually insane. Not once did PewDiePie ever make any calls to action and in fact he publicly denounced those people and what they did.

YOU need help.

Sure its us who need help, not you defending a nazi

Yeah it IS you people that need help. Because I'm not defending a Nazi. I am defending a person that made edgy Nazi jokes in their youth because I have enough brain power and human experience to know that not every single edgy teenager and young adult goes on to actually support extremist crap. It's almost like humans spend their youth learning what's ok in society. What's not ok. Where they land on issues. Where other people land on issues.

What's more important to me and most other humans is what kind of person someone is today. What kind of person they have been like in the last few years of their lives.

Every single human makes mistakes. How they learn from those mistakes is generally more important than the mistakes themselves (obviously not always the case).

Grow up.

Ok Im gonna write this again and this time read it slowly so you understand, hopefully. So according to you we need help for holding a person accountable for his own actions

Jesus Christ it's like trying to explain true empathy to a narcissist. I give up. You're not emotionally intelligent enough for me to bother attempting to explain any further. Have a good night.

I think he ran out of vocabulary to continue this thread
