Oh look, another man child.

Shhhh your edginess is scaring the children!

Because of his influence over millions of younger viewers. I knew about this guy from ages before. I knew he acted like a buffoon, even faking his own suicide, but heck, that was his problem. Now that he's exploiting a suicide victim and blowing on dead fishes, I really don't want this idiot being a role model for younger people out there now.

We live in a generation where people will do shit like eat Tide Pods just because it's the en vogue fad. The more idiot manchildren we get off the internet to influence the other ultra-impressionable idiots, the better.

@NarooN I agree we love in a ridiculous age and how we ingest ridiculousness is on the tip of our fingers but honestly if parents aren't beating their children enough or if ignorance breeds stupidity. That person will find something else stupid to do. I know younger people that wouldn't even think to eat a damn tide pod even if it is the talk of the town these v are young children. If dumb people make dumb decision is on them there is no end to exposure to this especially with the internet.
I'm talking from being a father as well. If I can't teach my kids from doing detrimental habits or not monitoring exposure to it, I've failed as a parent.

It was all BS. Nothing he said was directed towards any individual. People aren't super sensitive about that word in Europe like they are in the US, so it was ridiculous to hold him to a standard from a country that he's never lived in. I used to think he was an idiot as well, but I gave him a chance after watching the media try and smear him, and I now enjoy his content. Haven't watched much of his older content, but his newer stuff is smart, and genuinely funny in most cases. Dude knows what he's doing.

That's not the issue with the anti-semitism case. Sure, he just used it as a generic curse word, and people don't take it that seriously in certain places. Even so, atleast there's a genuine reason people called him out. Use of the word is generally not acceptable especially with his audience. So it's still legit. Saying he's a full on racist or has racist intentions is obviously silly. Giving him flak for not being more responsible with his words ? that's fine, atleast it's consistent. His audience isn't limited to Europe.

I never liked Pewdiepie earlier. I've started liking him now. The video that started the whole anti-semitism nonsense was actually one of the funniest ones I've seen.
