[gcubed]

Where the gaf defense force for this? This guy can do no wrong for gaming gaf so I assume there is some built in excuse for *this* racist outburst like the last few

 

[Angelus Errare]

Aw schucks, I didn't mean to say that. It's all about intent. I listen to rap music afterall.

When pepole like pew and defenders say this I picture their facial expression to be like:

That gif, lmao!

 

[TheAuldTriangle]

So fcuking casual about it. Has he released a "poor me" apology yet whilst pretending to hold back tears? Mentioned his black friends?

Cunt.

 

[Fred-87]

if you say it out of frustration or anger then you probably think about saying it when you're calm too. you just stop yourself.

Yes indeed. When im anger i only use words my morality finds okay such as asshole. But i would never use negative words described to black people, germans, Asian people and so on. It doesnt even come to my head.

I certainly don't.

Leaked script from his upcoming response video:

 

[SeanC]

Not up to the companies or YouTube to do anything, it's up to the gaming community to. That won't happen because the gaming community is pretty much trash given free reign to do this type of shit online and hide with anonymity for decades now. Calling someone a n**** or f***** online during a game is the norm, he's just towing the line.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Wow....that is awful.

 

[TheAuldTriangle]

Fuck sake, made the mistake of checking out the gaming side discussion of this incident.

Shit would make your blood boil.

 

[Lord Fagan]

How the fuck do people say this without thinking? Like, how casually do you use the word that you slip up and say it when you know it will ruin you?

Joke's on you fam. This is just them speaking their mind.

 

[Hylian7]

Where the gaf defense force for this? This guy can do no wrong for gaming gaf so I assume there is some built in excuse for *this* racist outburst like the last few

I wasn't aware there was a defense force on GAF for him, even before this

 

[ryutaro's mama]

I will refrain from comment.

Over in the Gaming thread

Well

They were there

 

[Couleurs]

For real

"Bwuuuuh!? I'm from Europe and never knew this word was offensive so PDP probably didn't either!!"

Fuck that shit

 

[Data West]

Let's count the YouTubeers that actually condemn it this time

Spoiler

lol

marikiplier will have some fence sitting shit and people will go OMG SO BRAVE

 

[Syder]

Indefensible

What an absolute clown

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

If he keeps acting like a duck and sounds like a duck, maybe...




...he's a bitch.

Man, just checked out the gamer side version of this thread, we seriously have someone come in asking why it's such a bad word. WTF.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes and..

Know your audience. Pretty simple stuff.

Either his audience is ok with it, or they're not. I personally don't think it's a big deal, but I'm not one of his subscribers, so it's a moot point. Good luck, dudeski.

I'm sure some people are only exposed to the English language through 8chan and KIA and are very confused.

 

[cromofo]

Reminded me of this:

[TunaMarshmallow]

Sad fact: he has lifetimes and lifetimes of money. None of this could possibly matter less to him.

 

[facetheslayer92]

I'm not even surprised anymore. He's literally a Nazi.

"What is this word n****r, Ive never heard it before"

Seriously. SERIOUSLY.

 

[BocoDragon]

Yup... he went full Kramer.

 

[JCHandsom]

Not shocked at all.

 

[backflip10019]

No, but he is a complete shit head.

And why don't you think it's a big deal that a guy with a large kid viewerbase has no problem dropping racial slurs for shits amd giggles?

 

[JaseC]

I'm sorry but why do we need two threads for this? Not trying to be rude, just wondering.

It's okay and actually not uncommon for a topic that isn't strictly related to the video game industry to have a thread in both Gaming and OT as there are a number of those who browse one but not the other by virtue of where their interests lie. In this case, while what spurred these threads is a racist outburst by a popular video game streamer, there's an underlying topic of racism within the media, which can be approached from other contexts.

 

[Haines]

Looks good to all the people who defended him when he started making stupid videos to begin with

Guys a jackass

 

[Condom]

He finishes it by following up with 'he is such an asshole', just to confirm he meaned asshole. Obviously both words are synonymous for him.

We need to make racists afraid again, all the increased personal racism is slipping out in the public too much now. Let's protect them for themselves and make them fucking tremble at the thought of saying such a thing in public.

The twitter warriors are still mostly hidden with fake accounts but even those are revealing themselves more and more when famous people+ politicians are seen to be getting away with it.

What? Gaf hated the dude from nearly the start, if he is popular now it's more of a recent thing

 

[Ric Flair]

Fuck that dude, there's no place for people like him in this world, fucking despicable

I find it kind of amusing that you're upset about Americans getting made fun of in that hurricane shooting thread, but someone uses a racial slur and, well, maybe the audience is okay with it.

I guess to that poster, black people aren't 'real Americans'.

 

[G-Fex]

Still plenty of his fans on here right?

 

[jviggy43]

Come on guys it was a joke. Fucking PC, outrage culture has to police everything.


/s

 

[FallingEdge]

You don't think it's a big deal?

Seriously?

he's a Trump supporter so it really isn't surprising

 

[bootsthecat]

You don't think it's a big deal?

Seriously?

No, I don't. I use the word occasionally as well under similar circumstances. But then again, I don't broadcast it.

Admittedly, I do not take into account his viewer base and the impact it may have on them (young, impressionable folk?)

 

[Syder]

Sorry but you're part of the problem

 

[i-Lo]

PewdiPie is a Trump Supporter!?

EDIT: Ah, nvm.

 

[Enzom21]

You call black people niggers? Folks getting bold around here.

No, the poster who says he calls black people niggers.

Well then....
