I mean he was making a ton of money off making rape jokes for years so it's about time something happened.

Yes
Youtube's recent monetization policy changes means that being cut from their premium ad program (or Youtube Red) would take a huge chunk out of Pewdiepie's earnings, right? That's why so many have opted for Red or hocking their Patreon pages.
I've seen a lot of youtubers complain lately that they don't make nearly as much money as they used to since Youtube lowered its payout(s).

Just stop calling PewDiePie "a piece of garbage"
Calling things a joke doesn't suddenly make it not racist.
No.
Lol
Southpark can get away with this kind of stuff. Pewdiepie shoulda stayed away from it being linked with disney and all. Sucks
Need a safe space?

No. He's a grown man. He'll live, even if some internet stranger thinks he sucks pretty bad.

Social Media Darwinism strikes again.
People doing stupid shit in public and then them being surprised there are real life repercussions for their fuckwittery that takes them out of the working population never gets old.
He can't really complain. He made very little talent go a long long way.

Millions of dollars long.
Apparently constant rape jokes aren't enough.

Yeah, let's not be defending idubbbz on his use of offensive language. He's not some master comedian using offensive language as some grand satire. He's just a privileged dude who can say this without consequences and he'll always have an army of defenders who will go off about PC culture or SJWs or whatever thing where minorities ask not to be made fun of but these marginalised people need to suck it up because the white man wants to use whatever discriminatory language he can. It's not like he genuinely hates those people, we can't know what his actual intentions are in his head, hey remember this token person that he cares for so obviously he can't be racist/homophobic/misogynistic/etc, I'm sure he's a good boy under all of it and means well, or other defences waiting in the sidelines for white people.
His career isnt over.
Dudes got hella followers. Even this wont touch him, may even get him a few more.

But that's my point. You don't watch idubbbztv. The most key important point to take away, is context. As the saying goes, context is everything. I can't just state, these are all he says. It's the way in which they are used and essentially what you expect. As I've shown before, there's plenty in incredibly offensive mainstream material out there on TV. I mean, you're not gonna like a Frankie Boyle stand up that's for sure. People make offensive jokes all the time and that's not to excuse any one persons actions, that's not what I am trying to do. But this is clearly a joke that backfired. It doesn't mean PDP is an anti-Semite. But as a whole, in terms of audience, when you have 53 million subscribers, clearly rape/racist and low brow humour is appealing to a large audience of which, those jokes do not offend them or at least aren't worth unsubscribing.
It's humour that appeals to certain people. Clearly not the majority of this thread and myself personally but it has it's audience...and consequences.
I don't get this "being edgy". It's just a joke in poor taste. Not "I'm trying to be cool and hardcore". PDP gets scared of barrels and vanilla video game jump scares. Far from edgy.
It wasn't edgy. Edgy means having a message, which strongly goes against the norm of people and there moral grounding.
This was just childish, since he didn't understand the context or the effect of his action, which is very questionable for an adult men.
It seems to be ending American international power, influence, and providing Russia with much more influence.

Making stupid, stupid jokes IS his career.
GAF doesn't work like that, they preach about certain situations to be investigated, but YT celebrities?, fuck that, they prefer to judge without any proof.
They are what they hate.

There's also the fact that Jontron is on that train of joining in on the anti-SJW from the some of the largest group of video shouters.
It's a 4+ hour long podcast of nosense with Sargon of Akkad and others alike.

Oh fuck off, I've seen enough of that iDubbz guy's videos to know he's just a fake edgy, pseudo-intellectual ignorant white kid who hides behind his privilege and makes the most god awful justifications for using slurs for the lulz.

pretty much hha. the moment pewdiepie stop being "a piece of garbage" is when all of his subscriber will leave him
his statement from his official tumblr clears up his standing on this imho
What is there to investigate? I'm curious he even got sponsors in the first place considering how he started his career screaming RAPE and FA**** in a microphone. This time he just pushed the wrong button when someone important was watching or someone took the time to complain and he paid the price. The whole situation is surreal, he's a millionaire trying to make fun of poor people from India by paying them to hold a sign saying "Kill all Jews". Even if you ignore the rest form the WSJ video it's kind of hard to defend.
who's this gaf you mention in every post?
This keeps coming up, but Matt Stone and Trey Parker are satirists and great writers, who have been consistently outputting creative work for 20 years. Pewdiepie is just regurgitating topical 4chan memes for video clicks. Major, major difference here people.
oh cool so he really did want to spend a pithy $5 to make people from the third world dance for him and make anti-semitic comments and make fools of themselves
I don't think that statement does him many favors

Go fuck yourself. You're not even countering with an actual argument, just "DURRR LETS GET DEFENSIVE, TYPICAL GAF OUTRAGE"
Please, tell me how some nerdy ass white kid ranting about how black people choosing to be offended by the n-word is in any way justifiable. I'll be waiting.

I haven't read everything here. In fact, the only thing I've read is the original verdict and his Tumblr post. Kiiiind of sounds like a cop-out "Oh shit I done fucked up" response.

Are Gaffers becoming 4chaners/redditors or what?
Hey. "Death to all black people." "Come on. Chill. Its just a joke!"
"Stalin did nothing wrong." "Hey. Man. PC culture. Chill dude! It was a joke. Dark Humour. Get it?!"

Damn this overreaction. You must've waited a long time to have a reason to bash him. People are literally asking if this is enough to cut a lot of Pewdiepie income, this is hilarious.
Clearly Pewdiepie is the root of racism and antisemitism.

These Indian guys, and everyone else in the video have Fiverr accounts to make money, they all offer different 'services' if you can call it that haha. If you did a bit of investigating you would've seen that the Indian guys got banned for the video they made, so pewdiepie donated like a grand to them and petitioned for their account to get unbanned, which it did.
Even the Jesus guy made a video explaining his situation and Felix gave him cash and got his account unbanned. There are no poor sad people in this story, just stupid rich people making bad decisions
