Found another funny Pewdiepie defender! This time they're a good ol armchair psychologist! :laffo:

er... how is what i'm saying even remotely a defense of him? i'm arguing jackass taxonomy, not whether or not he's a jackass. a completely vapid "influencer" who, through massive ignorance and stupidity, introduces small children to neo-Nazism is not better than someone who does it deliberately; he's just indicative of a slightly different societal problem.

e: like jesus gently caress dude I compared him directly to Donald loving Trump where did you get the idea that I'm defending him

basically what i'm saying is burn all of influencer culture to the ground and not just him. he's just the most extreme and horrifying example of a problem that exists far beyond him and is a goddamn loving cancer on civilization.

You're not wrong, but Pewdiepie is a loving Nazi. If you espouse Nazi rhetoric, refer children to right-wing propaganda, do Nazi salutes and scream racist epithets during your "gamer moments," you are a loving Nazi.

Nazis and their kin don't believe in their bullshit either -- they turn on one another the moment it becomes convenient. It's an incoherent schizophrenic sociopathic ideology. There is no such thing as "ironic" fascism and racism.

He's neither but almost all of the loud annoying dislike of him here and elsewhere is just old people whose reflexive backlash of anything popular they personally don't enjoy being amplified by their unwillingness to come to terms with becoming increasingly old and out of touch with the things young people like even though all the poo poo they did and watched online at that age was way shittier.

People who call PewDiePie a Nazi because he does some edgy jokes and as part of being the most popular YouTuber on Earth he interacts with ever other popular YouTuber and through the transitive property has therefore endorsed someone with bad beliefs are also the ones who grew up with and often praise and defend South Park, the show directly responsible for bringing casual antisemitism back among Americans and which has a long history of proselytizing similarly abhorrent views on young people. Same with the people who grew up with epic racism and school shooting cartoon site Newgrounds shaking g their heads and clicking their tongues about kids being corrupted by Pewds making funny faces over video games.

Regarding PDP: it doesn't matter whether or not he believes what he's saying. He's still normalising it and making younger members of his audience open to listening when the real Nazis come along.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

gently caress off with that poo poo. The "loud annoying dislike" is because he's a lovely human being who makes bigoted jokes and uses slurs and is flagrantly racist and misogynist (and has been since he first got to be famous). Not liking him doesn't make me an Old who doesn't understand this newfangled medium of entertainment where people talk while playing videogames. I watch a shitload of let's plays. Jesus christ, this dead gay comedy forum is the goddamn BIRTHPLACE of let's plays! We have a whole subforum for it! Not liking a racist doesn't make us out of touch!

Nice job giving yourself an out by using "almost" so when everyone in this thread jumps down your throat you can say "I said almost, I obviously wasn't meaning you!"

Maybe someday you'll turn 16 and realize "You know, maybe telling kids that Jews are subhuman and should be killed is not celebrating the uniqueness of all cultures." More likely you'll double down for the purposes of trolling an internet forum, get banned, and your name will fade into the void, only recalled when someone says "Hey, does anyone remember that awesome anti-Semitic meltdown that one guy had?"

We can only hope.

You are not funny or interesting in any way and you attempting to play the puppetmaster by awkwardly larping as a kung fu master, JRPG villain, and Yoda all at the same time because it is the only frame of reference you have for being a cool and smart guy who is above it all is a tedious bore to literally everyone else. Please do the needful.
