… Are you seriously implying that SAYING SOMETHING HATEFUL is on the same level as physically violating someone???

I’ve been physically assaulted. I would choose hateful words every single fucking day.

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.

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.

I’m not gonna bother arguing with you. We clearly have a fundamental difference of opinion when it comes to our ability to forgive past transgressions of others when we see personal growth and change from them.

Have a good day.

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.

He is not a Nazi apologist at all lmao.

He paid some Indian guys in fiver to hold up a sign that said something like “death to Jews” or something like that. He didn’t think they would actually do it and he of course he laughed when they sent back the video of them dancing and holding up the sign.

When he got backlash for the “joke” by mainstream media he felt they were purposely twisting things around in a certain way to make him look worse and he was going to prove it. He then wore a British WW2 military officers uniform for a video where he claimed they would purposely cut the video to misrepresent things and that’s exactly what happened. They claimed he doubled down and wore a Nazi uniform because he was a Nazi.

Not long after that whole debacle he then had the infamous “bridge incident” where he called some random gamer the n word while he was live on twitch playing PUBG. He made an apology video after that where he said: “It was something I said in the heat of the moment. I said the worst word I could possibly think of, and it just sort of slipped out. I’m not going to make any excuses as to why it did, because there are no excuses for it.”

Absolutely worth being criticized for the things he did in his past, but I don’t think it’s fair to cancel the guy forever because of those things. Especially when it appears that he has grown up quite significantly since those days.

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.
