PewDiePie, who was the subject of controversy earlier this year following a Wall Street Journal report regarding anti-Semitic jokes featured in his videos, appears at the end of the video to discuss his thoughts on the interview with Korwin-Mikke. The first time I watched this, my initial reaction was holy s*** this guy is insane, what the f*** is he saying? Hes definitely sexist,' he said. But second time I watched it, interpreting all his stumbling and mumbling, I understand what hes trying to say. Like he said many times, hes not saying women should earn less, hes saying they are because of these reasons.
PewDiePie continued: I dont know if theres a statistic that shows that women in general are less intelligent than men, and if there is Id say whats the f***ing point?'
PewDiePie then went on to discuss the gender wage gap. What they did with the gender gap is they took all men, and all women, and did a median on it and said oh okay, women earn this amount less than men in general,' he said.What they didnt take into account was pretty much anything at all, like women working less hours, women choosing less high-paying jobs and so on. He concluded: If youre a female watching this, I want you to know that you are not what the media or politicians or people on Twitter try to tell you
or even what I am [trying to tell you]. Youre not weak, you are not less privileged, you are strong. I think its a real unhealthy way of looking at things. What happened to I am a woman hear me roar? Its become I am a woman, I earn less than men'"
