OK Yea, Fuck Boogie. Fuck Pewds. I'm actually upset I've watched both of their content at all. Boogie is a secret asshat and PewdiePie, well we already know all that.

Does it taste like aluminum or something galvanized this time, you slimy shit?
Grow a spine, Boogie. You can speak for the issues affecting you. Do it for the issues affecting the many.

"Wtf how dare you just because I stand next to racists and am ok with racist policies doesn't make me a racist! WHAT ABOUT YOUR SIDE THO!!!"

People say that, but it's absolutely untrue so repeating it as though it has any more wiggle room than the actual word is just perpetuating those sorts of notions.
I think you must have misunderstood my post. Here's an excellent post by someone else articulating what I meant:

I'm guessing it's a lot harder for people who probably use that language in their day to day life.

i was like that too but then i thought that it's just a game and they are my friends even if they have a shitty aim!
But i take pleasure in saying "fuck you" with a low calm voice while my killer is looting my body....

Twitch does ban people.
YouTube doesn't censor the word nigger, their stance is fairly open they just remove ads from certain videos.
Not to burst your bubble, but...if you aren't throwing out racial, sexual, or sexist slurs, you aren't being that toxic online.
That's how low the bar is; you might think you're a piece of shit but the actual pieces of shit are far beneath that. If there's even a hint of constructive criticism in your accusations, you're far better than the toxicity laden in the Internet.
You're a normal functioning member of society who doesn't rely on being an idiot for income.

As much as he deserves it, it won't be the end of his career. He'll just make some bullshit apology and that will be the end of it.

It also doesn't ban hate speech much if at all.
Google doesn't give a fuck, and it's allowing these racists to reach a larger audience.

I don't even understand what Scoops is trying to say there, and I don't get a real strong sense that Scoops has the firmest grasp on his own message, either.
I mean, if someone is blatantly racist, or sexist, or transphobic, or homophobic, or bigoted in in a very easy to percieve manner, and your reaction to the community's response is focused more on pushing a narrative that suggests the real victims in this are moderate, even-keelish, careful folk who are being unfairly "shouted down" by virtue signalling SJWs circle jerking for the sake of empty plaudits from pseudonym'd (bad) actors...
...if that's the angle that jumps out at you, if that's the angle you choose to pursue, I would suggest that maybe the priorites being misaligned are not the ones you're attempting to correct with your dose of "rational, clear headed" unasked-for advice on how "best" to discuss hate speech.
If you're going to be upset that people give a fuck about racists in their community, and give enough of a fuck to publicly condemn them, and you still think playing Devil's Advocate on behalf of whatever cowed strawmen got sent packing for playing the same game you're playing is the most important thing to do with your time? I dunno man. White supremacists have the white house. The Devil doesn't really need any more advocates, and the gaming community doesn't need any more people making any more excuses for its worst members.
Of all the windmills to tilt at...

we just need to learn a little bit from people who casually say racial slurs and maybe they'll learn a little from us!

"Unleash the butthurt" is like him being like "come at me bros" which in this situation makes him both a fence sitter and antagonistic towards people who are genuinely appalled.

Maybe that butt wouldn't hurt so much if he didn't swallow a whole fucking fence with it every time a fellow YouTuber shows theirs.

Honestly this comes across as worse. It's one thing to spout racist shit because you are a racist shit. This dude is trying to sweep it under the rug and trying to frame it as a legitimate thing normal well-adjusted people do. Fuck him, there is no conversation with racism, it's wrong and should only be treated as such.

So you think that by staying out of off-topic and only staying on the gaming side of the forum you can shelter yourself from discussions relating to sociopolitical issues such as racism, sexism and bigotry?
That's cute.

I doubt hes racist, but he definitely siding with those who supported his insensitive jew jokes. he prolly feels like one the them now. mischaracterized etc. ur a fool PDP. I liked him but he lost focus. o wells.
No. When you lack control of your own words and out comes "Fucking Nigger", you're a goddamn racist. That's what's inside. Correcting that to "Fucking Asshole" once you've regained your composure tells us all exactly what your meaning was with the initial term.

There needs to be some precedence set for this kind of thing. Somebody - anybody - needs to step in and say, "no."
We're at a point where all this social media is still kind of new, but at the same time it's been well-established enough that there needs to be some sort of gauntlet getting thrown down.
Stay trashy Boogie
Defending the use of the n-word sure is a helluva hill to die on

I think someone said he doesn't care if he ruins it for everyone else because he has a safety net with his Dad being the CEO of a major company in Sweden...buut I have no idea if that's true.
His actions certainly don't seem to be that of someone wanting to help their fellow YouTubers
This is the end of the entire twitter thread of his "statement" on the N Word issue.
"Us YTbers are good people, the N Word is bad, I dont want to lose my Ad Revenue because sometimes we say stupid shit, but I mean we all say bad stuff sometimes, give him a break. Oh god this could affect my income, what the fuck did you do felix. Please feel sorry for meeeeeeeeeee"

Ok someone please help me understand. Someone.
Based on everything that has gone on, how can you "doubt he's racist"?
How?
Boogie comes off as incredibly self centered. I can't watch his videos because he is insufferable at this point. Not to mention the main reason I don't watch his videos anymore -
for being a piece of shit that is constantly going out of his way to defend the sexists/racists/bigots of the internet. You are not sitting on the center of the fence. You are just an asshole.
(((SOROS))))
Butthurt? I would think sitting on a fence all day would be a real pain in the butt.
And.

I agree, he used to be an innocent, sincere, happy, funny guy, I used to love his content (back in 2013/2014), what a fucking shame. He is no longer the same Pewds I know.
Also, I disagree with the racist part, I think he is a bit racist now.
In fact, I think he is getting more and more racist each year.

So when Boogie says
Saying the n word randomly while playing a video game has nothing to do with "personal politics". God I hate this idea that consequences for racist bullshit = political persecution
what does that even mean

Hey man, PDP is just a kid.
Trayvon Martin, though...he looked old for his age.
No, what you're hearing is that any blowback to any shitty language is deemed as "political", which has become a fucking negative thing to talk about, and what a fucking shame for that, as though all language isn't political.
Boogie has sadly doubled down and sheltered himself inside his own ignorance.

Boogie is a two faced hypocrite cunt.
He wasn't sat on his high horse when that fat shaming video from that bitch came out. Yet he wants to sweep this under the carpet because it's his mate.

If you're reading this right now Boogie, I'm severely disappointed in you. I actually thought you were a swell guy after you helped out that other YouTuber (not PDP), but this and the other previous screw ups really threw my opinion of you in the gutter.

He'd made a good politician.
No way, never could have seen this coming. Fuck all the people trying to normalise this as one of those things that "just happens", it really fucking doesn't. This word doesn't just "slip out", if it does it's because it's already in your vocabulary and you fucking use it... because you're a racist.
And fuck Boogie as well, if I call him a fat cunt (I wouldn't, obviously) on twitter something tells me he'll have a completely different reaction.
