Support NeoGAF

[TheBlackMarvel]

Weird that people would instinctively gravitate towards the people that like them over the people that hate them. Hmmm.

.

 

[True Fire]

Yes, losing is your fault. Try to remember what Leftists/Liberals were like during the Bush Administration, in terms of culture, art, comedy, media. Whatever cultural ground leftists have claimed in the 21st century was won by people like Jon Stewart, etc. Remember when being a leftist was cool and edgy?


This is not an isolated incident, it's ideological death by 1,000 cuts. Crying wolf.

This thread certainly went places, holy shit.

There's no point fighting with people who use the word "leftist" without a shred of irony lol. They don't even believe the shit that they spew. Troll culture has evolved into a political dumpster fire.

 

[Nudull]

Sorry i dont support the orange twat what so ever but america got what they deserved after what happened to Bernie, keep throwing stereotypes around though.

Oh, a Bernie fan too. How quaint, tell us more about how it's all our fault we didn't vote in some old fart who marched with MLK that one time.

 

[Gun Animal]

Yet again, if that's all it takes to have someone go conservative then they were probably never very liberal or with the Left in the first place. It could be 10,000 "cuts" on the internet or news or whatever and if that's all it takes for you to start supporting bigotry, ignorance and all that, well then good riddance.

True ideologues make up a very small percent of the population. Most people are aloof and contrarian, and will easily flip from one side to another based on material and cultural factors. If you only want true leftists, again, be prepared to lose.

 

[Gravy Boat]

Paying people to write that shit... get fucked.

What about the people who wrote it and put the video up?

 

[Mahonay]

Depends on the situation

OK no. Jesus. We live on different planes I guess.

 

[Holykael1]

True, but you might argue it IS Youtube's responsibility to a degree, and their move is a way of doing that.

Sure, I wasn't even arguing about that.

 

[Nepenthe]

Depends on the situation

Racism has a few centuries' head start and general permission over Internet outrage culture. They're not equivalent.

 

[ScatheZombie]

Centrist white people instinctively gravitate towards conservative policies because liberal callouts are an example of bullying.

It's more that people gravitate towards apathy.

And apathy has more frequently been grouped into "the other" of whatever side you happen to be on - and both sides do it.

 

[MissCauthon]

Omg people are still discussing this?

 

[Armaros]

The bolded is hilarious and yet sadly ironic. The lack of self awareness is out of this world.

Like i said before america got what it deserved, enjoy.

And yet again if all it takes is hearing about outrage and seeing it on your social media feed, the news or whatever to make you start supporting racism, sexism, ignorance, destruction of the environment and so on, then yet again, good riddance. My point is that if outrage is all it takes for you to support some vile shit, you probably never really gave a shit in the first place whether you're ideologically pure or not or whatever.

 

[LilJoka]

Well, when "outrage culture" legitimately hurts people, it becomes eligible for discussion.

Watch this people!

At least we are trying to stay on topic

All of you guys got swindled by fake news, largely because of your innate hatred toward people better off than you. Ashamed of GAF right now.

Nexus of hardcore echo chamber.

 

[TwilightPrincess]

Okay? Does this change the fact that it's still a hate message? What of the Jewish people that are offended?

They probably shouldn't be but they can, it's up to them. I think some are offended about Borats "jew egg" or "jew claws" too. I don't even like Pewdiepie, the media outcry about him beeing antisemit and this thread brought me to this topic and to watch some of his cringeworthy videos. I think there are really more sinister antisemits out there which should get the attention of 1000 news, not some comedy guy on youtube for making a bad joke with non antisemitic intentions.

You are the judge of what people should or shouldn't be offended by?

Yeah, a lot of this is definitely 'fake news'. It is just spun so devilishly. The h3h3 video is extremely hard to refute, just by the context it added.

This thread would have been different if it was another race, gender or sexuality, gaf is full of hypocrites.

 

[ScatheZombie]

I can imagine that Trump is considering this as an official cabinet post right now.

 

[hodgy100]

Echo chamber who dont actually play video games, if you people think felix is a anti semite then i dont know what the fuck to say, i know gold man trump winning has scared you all but this is the wrong place and will give more fuel.

GAF is not a hive mind and very few people are saying the bolded.

You're really trying hard to go for that banned martyr image, eh?

 

[Ray Wonder]

OK no. Jesus. We live on different planes I guess.

Nah, It depends on the severity of the racist action, and the severity of the outrage, and the outcome of the outrage. I'm not going to give free reign to anyone who cries racism to get what they want, just because they say. Prove they deserve it, and I'll think it's justifiable. "Outrage culture" doesn't abide by those rules, they get on twitter and @ the companies that support these people (that may have done almost nothing wrong) and flood them with sensational tweets. Potentially ending in someone's life being ruined.

You don't come to GAF much do you?

 

[Hello? This is Hailun!]

It is up to parents to be attentive of what their children consume and to educate and explain things to them. I think it's an overreaction to think children will turn into nazis or start hating on jews for this. I don't think Pewdiepie's content is appropriate for children anyway nowadays, his content is not targeted towards children and it's not his responsibility to regulate that.

Yes yes it's everyone less fault that he said something disgusting and offensive and not actually him


So entitled. Sad.

He does, he's just hear to yuck it up with his 4chan buddies on how he 'cucked GAF' or some other dumb shit.

 

[Conkerkid11]

Wait. You're not joking, are you?

In that case.

A large portion of the posts in most threads regarding popular YouTubers and Twitch streamers are in regards to how easily those posters think they earn their money.

A large portion of GAF hates PewDiePie, with most of the posts in the beginning pages of this thread not bothering to find out the context of the videos, and instead shitting on PewDiePie, saying he deserved it.

Dunno if I would go that far...

 

[Armaros]

Fuck, the lack of self awareness here is astonishing.

It's the only defense and deflect they have left.

 

[DryvBy]

What exactly is the context of the joke? Since Im seeing a lot of people say 'but context'.

He was showing people will do anything for $5, even say outrageous racist stuff. Kind of like what happened in the movie Bruno.

Ah yes, the oppression of the white man, his struggles misunderstood.

Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.

You're arguing against something he never said. He said it's the parents responsibilities to censor what their kids watch. He never said it's anyone else's responsibility to censor PewDiePie.

What's that got to do with being entitled?

He made a shitty racist joke and got what was coming to him. Context doesn't negate any of that and isn't some panacea for saying something shitty.

This is fake too? I've been fooled I guess.

OH NO I FORGOT ABOUT THE CONTEXT

 

[Eumi]

Like i said before america got what it deserved, enjoy.

Ok, err, dude, I'm pretty sure this isn't what you meant, but right now you're saying that the people Trump are going to hurt, deserve it.

Because, like, they're still Americans. Nobody 'deserves' to have their rights trampled on and persecuted because of the actions of a separate group of racist fuckwits.

I get you're angry at the situation but you really shouldn't blame the people who are going to suffer.

Edit: oh, err, hive mind accusations. Maybe I'm wasting my time here.

 

[Holykael1]

I don't know in what reality what I said means what you just said. Are you a professional distorter?
It would have been disgusting and offensive if he meant it, if it wasn't a stupid, admittedly unfunny joke. Context does matter or is any kind of nuance lost on you?

 

[HStallion]

Gaf is not a hive mind? LOL.

Amazingly enough no its not! Even in this thread!

 

[hodgy100]

its not? humans arent a hive mind. people can share similar views but people will still have differences.

you being here proves that gaf is not a hive mind.

Chinese Cartoons doesn't give a shit about that. He's just here to be a dingus, and it's working well, it seems.

 

[yellow submarine]

Maybe 10 years ago Nazi jokes were funny and "edgy". But right now there are actual Nazis and racists out -- it isn't funny anymore. At least it doesn't have the "oh so absurd and out of left field" quality that makes some comedy funny. "It's just a prank bro" doesn't work anymore.

Your point is still bullshit. FOH with this "you're only offended because you're jealous" nonsense.
