Pretty disappointing
How many times are people going to say "Pewdiepie should learn from this and grow as a person" before they realizing this keeps happening and he's not learning from any of his mistakes
At some point enough is enough

At the time it was the only major let's play of the game and I just recall a number of Asian insults that made me cringe, this was years ago but was the last time I truly watched a PewDiePie video.

Philip DeFranco can't acknowledge PDP is a racist? More worried about Youtube and war against traditional media?

I get what you're saying bud, I do. In my experience (more than half my life) religious people are just as bad though. Religion can set positive morals for many, but as in any situation, education begins in the home. Religion doesn't always make a shitty person better, I've seen my fair share of scumbags within the church.
I think people are pushing back because religion really doesn't matter, I'm not anti-religion by any means, but if people are being brought up a certain way and exposed to certain things, they're going to behave how they like regardless.

He's the biggest media personality on the internet
Why are people so quick to say he isn't racist?
Like...is there something I'm missing? Do tons of non-racist white people have the n-word as a part of their regular vocabulary?
But of course he's not a racist, just a guy that says whacky things!

They care because they think they're going to be targeted next. Yet they don't have shit to say with Anita Sarkeesian is having her videos mass reported by man babies.

People of "faith" were the number one reason LGBTQ were treated like second class citizens in this country. Religion has been behind many of the most vile acts performed against mankind. You don't have to be religious to be a good person and being religious doesn't make you a a good person.

You know there are a lot of racist religious people? and churches tend to drive young people towards homophobia, right? Right? Faith doesn't mean you are a good person, faith can in fact drive people to be horrible people. I mean there's a fairly large terrorist organisation in the US that grew from religion.

So where we at on this?
Forced/fake apology yet?
Any of his business affiliates take action yet?
Double down video anywhere in sight?

Because look at the like to dislike ratio in that video. It would be reversed had he said the opposite.
Only thing I can think of is that they also use that language in private and don't want to consider that they themselves might be racist.
He is a massive star in the industry. What's LOL about it?

Because people who are "mildly-racist" think to themselves, "well I'm not as bad as Hilter, or the KKK, or those guys marching in Charlottesville, so I must be ok" after all, those are the real racists right?
It makes the industry look pathetic tbh

I have seen people 100% seriously take that position
The guy is damn near 30.
This is feeling eerily similar to how Trump used "locker room talk" at the tender age of 59.

The industry and it's culture is pretty pathetic to be quite honest.
I think so too. They are in a position where millions of eyes are watching them. There should be no excuses.
I guess it's Naiveté? Someone like him won't even have a chance at learning and growing unless he actually loses everything because of this. I'm pretty sure even if his channel is shut down he'll just take the money and run.
Are you next?

Well shit. I wanna say he's still young and has time to change but he's too much of a dumbass with money, ego, and no self-reflection.
Do you have anything to say on this?
i really hope thats just some bad sarcasm here. such a stupid comment.
I am a white dude who has grown up in an extremely white community and I have NEVER heard anyone use the N word accidentally, in anger or otherwise
I don't know why this has become a common argument like its an everyday thing

Two things you need to know about modern racism:
1) It hides behind the auspices of jokes and trolling and "telling it like it is" in an effort to have plausible deniability
2) It hates being called racist
People discussing racist words vs racist intents
the effect that a sincere apology can have on an accidental slip up
the issue of fence sitting
and asking for suggestions of other youtubers and personalities
etc
but people will see what they want to see: 100+ pages of sjw outrage on neogaf.com
No! 137 pages for how to deal with the very real problem of racism in our society.
This, Racist along with Privilege.
Say any of these terms to a Trump supporter and they'll throw a hissy fit.
It's crazy. You have a bunch of people who are so adamant in their defense of this YouTube celebrity that they're willing to throw white people as a whole under the bus to protect him.

Trumps treasonous 38 year old child is "a good kid with good intentions". Apparently if you're white your a kid from 1-65 and then you go straight into a "grandparent from a different time", that way, you never have to actually take any responsibility for your words and actions.
Just want to echo this. I grew up in a wealthy, overwhelmingly white suburb in the midwest and this is not a thing.

For a lot of people being called a racist is worse than being one or doing something that seems like it is. There is a reason that some people that actually are say "I'm not a racist!" or say " I'm not racist, but..." .

Yep the fact that people say "well that's a common phrase said by other people in Pubg so PDP might've just let it slip out" shows that this is worth discussing and condemning. It's an immensely gross part of gaming culture that it gets thrown around so liberally. PDP as one of the biggest gaming celebrities and a grown ass man should learn that as should a lot of gamers.
Not surprised there are a lot of people (wrongly) defending this as not being racist and acting confused.
Wouldn't be surprised if quite a few of them grew up being sheltered on racial issues and were weaned on a study diet of screaming "f**" and other horrible shit into their xbox mics.

Edited out Cinemassacre I mainly watch because of James, I dont really know much about Mike.
Brainscratch and SomeCallMeJohny are both good and some other uses mentioned them. And Kikoskia is just all around calming to listen to.

I don't really see why that matters, what are you gonna say about him that there should be that many pages? its not like anything he says is very insightful lol. it seems like 100 pages of people saying "he is a racist", "he isn't a racist", "look at those people that don't wanna call him a racist". As someone who is heavily involved in politics it just seems so silly that of all the issues in the world people are spending so much time on this. Seems just like those people who worry about violence in movies and games, or sexuality, they exaggerate the influence on society and freak out when there are better things to do. Though now I've started to do the same thing in wasting my time on talking about him so... make of that what you will xD

My dude and his crew struggling but by kos are they working. I know for sure they're going to be ripping apart PDP lol.
For a lot of white people, being called a racist is just as, if not more inflammatory than calling a black person the n word, if only because it doing so serves to completely strip away any authority, integrity or possible standing they would have in a conversation. "He's just a racist, nothing he says matters."
It is the only word that has the same power and bite that the n word has for black people.

Definitely seems that way. Like a bunch of people are resistive to calling PDP out because...maybe it means they have to do some self-examination themselves. Calling someone out is all fun and games until it suddenly means looking at yourself in the mirror. Until it means suddenly being uncomfortable.
The "but who hasn't said racist shit...." posts are quite eye-opening. No guys, that's not a normal thing. Some of us were raised better.
There is a gross lack of perspective for anyone who thinks these words are similar or have a similar impact. Like, your history teachers and parents failed all of you.
I mean, a 137 pages for the most popular youtuber on the planet. Yes.
It's news, regardless of whether or not you care.
I am often surprised by how often I hear my white or my asian friends use "nigga" in passive conversation.
You on a gaming forum. End of discussion.
There's always more important things to talk about than gaming.

I actually like DeFranco but man, he didn't go in nearly enough on PDP. Disappointing.
