I have a past ban for claiming people who made fun of Palmer Luckey have a "Hitler-esque agenda".
(Today, 11:51 PM)
He's Swedish and half of their country still uses that word to this day to describe a delicious chocolate so I'm not sure him using that word carries the same weight.
If we allow this thread to exist...PEWDIEPIE WINS. The only right call is to self-censor and run PR interference on his behalf. Otherwise, HE WINS.
Like when he was dropped from his lucrative Youtube deal and Disney sponsorship. Winning like that.

The sooner "gamer" stops being associated with "socially maladjusted shithead" the better. Flush all of these garbage streamers. Ban the shit out of the bigoted trash-talkers in online games. Perm all of the twitch chat nazis.
Get that shit out of video game culture. We've been dealing with it for like 20 years, why are we still putting up with this? What other pastime regularly involves having a teen scream racial slurs in your ear?

He knows what he was saying. Stop trying to excuse it
I mean, you won't actually do this, but a day on Shaun King's Twitter would probably do you good.
He caters primarily to an american audience. he knows exactly what he's doing.
And I'm starting to think you do too.

If only YouTube can do something about it.
Meh, if various right-wing nutjobs can still use it as a platform nily-wily, doubtful YouTube will do anything drastic to its biggest star.
Also, n****r as a term for chocolate? Wow, hahah, that's the first I've ever heard of it. Is it true in Sweden they use it in that way?

I can't believe this bullshit keeps on coming up. He is not living under a rock. He is one of the most popular youtubers with Audiences mainly in the United States. He has visited this country many times, and he is also well educated. He fully knows the significance of the word.
One that has a massive American fanbase and consumes US internet culture doesn't understand the stigma of the N-Word? I guess the biggest youtuber doesn't understand the culture of his biggest demographic?
Get out of here with that shit.

Yep. He also praised Jon for going outside the box and not following the herd for his racist opinions.
You are scum.
Are you fucking kidding me
I've gone through each of these pages. I see nobody calling for PDP to be killed, let alone "worse".
Edit; oh well.

At the end of the day YouTube, Twitch, Patreon etc are in the position to disassociate themselves from filth like this dude. Disney dropped over the last it but as usual SM companies are more than willing to host racists and human garbage because it drives their bottom line.
If they are saying racist shit than yeah they should. What the fuck are you talking about? Every job I ever had If I said some racist shit I would be fired and it would be justified.

Dude is exactly what's wrong with the earth right now.
But I already expect that from guys like him, I don't even like boogie anymore, as I wouldn't put it past him to be a racist either. I keep forgetting to unsubscribe from him. I'm sticking to eza from now on.
But, my real reality check from this is that pubg is infested with these people and it's off my to buy list.
Fuck all this garbage.

Yeah, ok. How often do you call folks the n word?
Do you live in Sweden?
Edit: Banned? Not surprised at all.
Your liberal use of the word "hate" when people take issue with racists who get a bit of backlash that they deserve is very telling.

Plase guys, just don't go public about racist matters, keep it to yourself, that surely will help.
I still don't get the logic of adressing this kind of things "locally", just talk it to your neighbor? You dog?

I meant it that as far as YouTube content goes, especially if you delve into the darker side of YouTube, this is a rather 'mild' thing, all things considered. If YouTube doesn't do anything to various toxic video makers in its platform, doubtful they will do anything to Pew due to this.
Just goes to show how deeply infested with badness YouTube as a platform has become (though yes, it is filled with many great things too.)
Dont forget that the big bad media was out to destroy, Jontron, Colin Moriarty, and Pewdiepie because they're independent content creators and that everything is fabricated against them...they're not racist because the media uses things they record themselves on camera in the public view....the videos posted by the media make them look racist and FAKE NEWS SAD!.

Fuck me, he doesn't even care when he says it. I'm glad I've never watched any of his videos or supported him in anyway.
There is never a good time to use that word. I can't believe people are trying to defend him.

There's so much hatred for black people, casual or not, in gaming.
I see this shit in fucking South-East Asia on Twitch and in-game, say Dota / Overwatch, games where black people don't really have more presence than fighting games comparatively. It's extremely prevalent.
These people likely never travel beyond their countries and interact with a actual black person and it makes you think that they are lapping on the Internet dominant culture that making fun of black people is cool.

They don't want people talking about it because they know it's effective.
See Nick Robinson, Colin Moriarty, PDP with Disney.

thank god those two are gone... christ
Exactly. Because ignoring racism worked in the past. That's why when Trump/the alt-right rose up, the country vehemently rejected them, and common sense prevailed.
Oh wait...
Can't believe people like rocK still believe this shit.

My guess is they've done the same.
Well...maybe. But probably not.
If, for example, the google engineer's video were flagged as adult abrasive behavior, then the grand majority of advertisers would pull out of monetization with his channel, something happening to a lot of youtubers who do video game stuff because games contain "violent content". We're at the point now where the coke's of the world don't want to have their ads against racist/sexist/homophobic/xenophobic content...but Google algorhythmic solution isn't good enough.
The worst case, but most likely scenario here is that google's solution will be classifying all gaming videos in one category that allows advertisers to simply say, "I don't want my ads on gaming videos period." That would be the nuclear fallout of this situation.
So while the google engineer might make a few bucks, maybe enough to supplant a few bills or help with a vacation, I doubt he'd be rich.
Now if he opened a Patreon...
Yea they knew exactly what they were doing
It's a part of his daily vocabulary. I see no other reason he had it on the tip of his tongue, ready to go. Shit seemed natural to him throwing it out.
Oh taking shit down? No, google would do literally nothing.
They've done the same and instead of taking the time to do a bit of self reflection on why they instantly go to racial slurs when they get mad, they decide that this is ok cause they only say it when they are really really cross.
