I wish I understood how people stumble into racism.

To me it's like accidentally stumbling into cheating on your girlfriend/boyfriend.

Like, no you didn't. You did the shit consciously and intentionally. If you have words like these inside you for them to have ever been blurted out in anger or casually, you need to start asking yourself why rather than apologizing and making excuses. People need to try some accountability on for size.

In my defense, I had a hard time as a kid, and when the mexican kid called me a pinche chino, I threw every bad I knew at him. But that's a defense mechanism for a kid who's getting hurt trying to hurt the other person back. But I was a kid. I have a much better vocabulary now.
 
When he posted here during the first few months of GamerGate people found him using the f-word while posting on 4chan at the same time he was posting here, he defended himself saying that "it actually means cigarette" and that "it's only part of internet culture".

(I'm talking about Boogie, not Pewdiepie)

so boogie's infamous "middle ground" ethos also extends to homophobia as well

strange how the one form of hateful speech he doesn't want to find the precious "middle ground" on is that which applies to himself, which is to say fat-shaming - which unlike him, i will say it is unequivocably wrong to harass someone because of their physical traits, even those that do not apply to myself

oh wait, that's actually entirely predictable

does he not realize that the emotional pain he feels is also experienced by other humans as well?

If he didn't have a successful yt channel.
 
Probably trying to figure out what shitty angle to go with so he can put the blame on someone else. "I learned that word from the fake news media!"

His views are being math'd into hurricane donations and it's a real shame this minor thing is being turned political by sjw's and blm.

Subscriptions and clicks have these people by the balls. They have to weigh the majority.
 
The dude is currently craftimg a response video. It will be 8-12 mins. He will spend exactly 23 seconds on how he knows his fans know he is a good person despite poor use of words. He will spend the remaining time playing victim about how he's just targeted now and everyone should ignore his haters.

He was almost able to buy new homes for every Irma victim too. Why do minorities have to ruin everything by demanding to be treated humanely?
 
I'm willing to be that PDP is waiting until more media website pick up the story so he can talk about all of the character assassination he is facing.
 
Wow, he still hasn't posted his non-apology yet? This ought to be good.
He has to deliver us the true bad person. He's not bad for being a racist. The media is bad for reporting he's a racist with only like 5 examples of him displaying racism over the internet. 5 is such a small number.
 
Why is gaming getting so political in recent years
Racism has very little to do with politics. Always used by people who get un-comfortable when racism is brought up though. In some vain attempt to try and avoid talking about it, saying that "I don't want to talk politics"
 
Why is gaming getting so political in recent years

If "gaming getting so political" means that less and less racists view it as a place where they can hang out I'm all for it getting more "political" and I don't see why anyone who's not a racist would have a problem with that.
Newsflash: racism isn't something political. People who want to act like it's a political viewpoint have it wrong and should really consider why they think that way.
 
Since when is racism purely political?

Since it became convenient to couch it as "political" so people can act like it's just two "valid ideologies fighting" rather than reckon with the fact that it does real measurable harm to people rarely advocated for. It becomes easier to ignore if you treat it with the same weight you treat talk about raising or lowering taxes.
 
I wish Google imposed stricter rules and regulation on Youtube channels especially if majority of their audience is young.

Off topic, wow this thread got 19 shares on Facebook.
 
PDP is a grown adult, not a child. Why are you talking about children? Is that the only angle you can think of to try and let his racist ass slide?

To answer you questions, yes he is a fucking racist and he has a history of this shit. Just admit that there is nothing he could do that would get you to actually call him a racist. It's clear to me that that the word "racist" is more damaging in your eyes then actual racist action.

Have you seen his content? Comparing Pewdiepie's behavior to that of a teenager is an apt comparison and reflective of his primary audience. My contention is that he has never grown out of that mindset. With his success as a young adult, he's still never had a reason to really grow up. It doesn't matter when his birthday is if he never intellectually and emotionally developed beyond that.

For me, if he re-uses the word in his inevitable follow-up video in a defiant manner that is not just to clarify the word he said prior to including an apology, and then proceeds to defend his actions with the assertion he will or would do it again, that would be firmly indicative of someone with overt racist tendencies and sympathies. I do not think simply labeling people as "racist" and moving on is any sort of answer. It's not as important as understanding what the actual motivation for their words really is. If it comes from a place of ignorance, that is one thing to me. If it comes from a place of hatred, that is another. I don't feel satisfied relying on blanket terms to decide how I feel about a specific person's personality or actions or history.
 
Racism is considered political so it can be discarded like a bad vote when it's more importantly a personality trait like anything else a person does to paint themselves.

I appreciate the response but to be perfectly honest it was a rhetorical question. :)

I'm having a deja vu feeling come over me.

What's the betting line until Felix pulls a similar stunt to wash, rinse, repeat this process to the detriment of his peers that stream for a living?
Has he got something lined up for November sweeps?

Will Van Jones come on after PDP's apology video to profess that this was the moment PDP finally became president not a racist?
