shock, awe, etc.

Spoiler

sry couldn't resist

Seriously though, don't think this will change anything for him unfortunately

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Some idiot says something stupid online.

Outrage ensues.

Rinse and repeat.



Boring.

I like how the people who were defense forcing PewDiePie are now pretending otherwise.

Don't worry. Nothing will happen to him whatsoever.

 

[TheJoRu]

Can someone explain why this PewDiePie guy is popular in the first place? When first hearing of this dude I looked up some of his videos. What's the appeal? He's not funny or clever. His videos are just him talking. I don't get it.

He made videos of him playing horror games and screaming a lot.

 

[Tagyhag]

He has a huge following with kids. Definitely not something that should be brushed off in my opinion.

Parents should do a better job being parents.

That said, yes this was stupid as hell and dude should be dragged down. (He probably won't be)

 

[Alienous]

Imagine having such a casual use of the word that it would slip out when your dayjob is livestreaming to the world.

There's too much smoke for him to not be an awful person fire at this point.

 

[Chille]

Lol I've heard people say alot worse when they are frustrated in pvp especially with first person shooters. Though for me I normally just run around screaming shit oh shit as I get shot.

 

[Champion]

I'm not even going to respond to the hand wavers. Just going to take note of who is downplaying this and keep it moving.

 

[Veldin]

Came out like he's said it a thousand times.

I despise him more than I ever have.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

how could he say a word like that against the japanese

Spoiler

good job OP for not following the recent trend of spelling it in the thread title

IIRC he was one of the first Let's Players and being there since the inception you gain a fanbase that doesn't go away even after better less assholish folks come along like Markiplier or the Super Best Friends

 

[formasymphonic]

Hasn't he done this before as well?

 

[Bananastand]

Looking forward to see how he can blame the media for this

 

[Merc_]

why are people so scared and offended by a simple word ?

How often do you use it?

 

[Lulubop]

Damn if that's what it takes to get banned from Youtube half of the content creators would be gone by now. lol

so be it?

Lol

Trash continues defending trash

 

[Wallach]

Damn if that's what it takes to get banned from Youtube half of the content creators would be gone by now. lol

yeah what a shame that would be

lets start now

 

[dan2026]

Pewdiepie is rich though, you can get away with anything horrible when you are rich.

Look at Hulk Hogan, he said it and got richer.

I bet YouTube won't ban him. You don't ban popular rich people.

 

[xxracerxx]

Dude is such a fucking piece of shit.

I don't think his defense force will be here for this one. at least I hope they won't.

 

[Costanza-san]

Damn if that's what it takes to get banned from Youtube half of the content creators would be gone by now. lol

Sounds good to me

 

[erlim]

I'm sure he didn't lose any fans that stuck with him since the Nazi stuff. He is still one of the most influential media personalities and the most influential new media personality.

Lol you're an optimist, right?

 

[Easy_D]

Not going to defend him but youd be surprised how often this happens in Europe especially in countries with no black people. There is literally no understanding of the context, its just a word you hear in music and movies.

There are plenty of African immigrants in Sweden, they aren't some rare mystical people we've never seen or interacted with before.

That's a shitty argument you have there and you should feel bad.

 

[Principate]

Not even Donald Trump is dumb enough to have been caught saying it on a recording like this so recently.

 

[horkrux]

He could have at least apologized immediately afterwards, but he probably thought it was a funny slip-up... a slip-up delivered in the most natural way possible.

smh

 

[RionaaM]

Guess he's just trying different hats, right? We're probably at the point where Youtubers should be considered racist and misogynist by default, unless proved otherwise.

 

[Bgamer90]

Parents should do a better job being parents.

Brands shouldn't be associated with this regardless of what parents do/don't do for obvious reasons.

 

[Unicorn]

Too much competition these days. PewPew needs some ways to get to headline again.

yeah. That realization immediately then the non-apology.

 

[Draper]

Jesus.

These people are transparent as glass.

 

[Piers]

*youtuber says something racist/misogynistic/lgbtphobic*

Yeah, intentional or not this topic feels like a pointless magnet for PC outrage.
It's not to justify PewDiePie's act there but this news seems like it can't hold much water for debate after the other shit he's manage to get out of.

 

[Vlade]

People that like to be offended by bandwith they don't consume, I suppose.

I'd be more interested to hear if any of his actual fans care. I doubt it.

I know, right? As long as people are racist together we shouldn't care.

 

[WonderzL]

it's simple really: he has found a market. being a pseudo-nazi is giving people money. see ian miles.

there are lots of nazi nerds out there being exploited. he won't listen to any of us because that's the business he is working on right now

lmao

 

[Nairume]

I guess this is the TMZ part of NeoGaf...

Him doing something on his public stream is not the same thing as what TMZ does.

There is an audience for everything. His audience is into his "edgy" personality, and find his random yelling to be funny.

 

[Waluigilicious]

The way he said it was what surprised me. I mean had he said it casually in replacement of the word "bro" I would have moved along but he actually says "fucking n*****". I don't even hear black people use it in that way.

 

[Yukinari]

I would give pewdiepie the benefit of the doubt if it was a Maximillian situation where its obvious he didnt mean to say it but that isnt the case.

Even still Max came here and posted apologizing for his mistake. Pewdiepie wont.

 

[The Technomancer]

Yeah, intentional or not this topic feels like a pointless magnet for PC outrage.

I think you missed the point of that post

 

[Damn Silly]

I will say I didn't expect it to come out as naturally as it did.

 

[D i Z]

That wasn't a slip. Racism doesn't just slip out. It's not some shit that you accidentally do. If it ain't in you, it's just not going to happen.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Hates blacks, hates jews, hates jesus...Nothing surprising here, this dude always came off as a massive asshole and I don't know why he was every popular. Those words naturally roll out, the only accident was that it finally happened live, I'm sure he says it all the time.

Well his videos are all fairly well edited, and a lot of people enjoy his type of humor i guess.

 

[BiggNife]

Mods please let jeenaudx post a rebuttal before banning him because I wanna see how the hell he tries to dig him out of this one

Bet 20 bucks he uses "I'm not racist but"

 

[N° 2048]

why are people so scared and offended by a simple word ?

It's the world we live in, I notice people like to get offended by everything and anything.

Speaking from what I see around me, that's all.

 

[Aikidoka]

YouTube demonetized his whole channel last december right? Hope Twitch gets rid of him too.

Pizza con basura.

He won't be back.

 

[gossi]

Are we sure it's him? Multiple people are on the stream party chat.

Not defending him btw. Just want to make it's him talking.

 

[Calm Mind]

The culling this thread is about to receive will be unprecedented.

 

[True Fire]

Came out like he's said it a thousand times.

I despise him more than I ever have.

He has said it a thousand times. It's a regular part of his vocabulary. There was a #PewdiepieIsOverParty the last time he used the N Word, but everyone forgot about it pretty quickly.

Maybe the WSJ will hold him accountable. But that would just give h3h3 and Philip DeFranco an excuse to complain about MUH FREE SPEECH again.
