  • My dude I’m dual citizen Chinese and us, stealing from the rich and building the fundamentals of society equally is kinda my jam, even if someone did fuck up and make me a us citizen by default.

    The American working class, despite making far more than their peers in the global South, are usually more poor than their peers in the global South. Home ownership is a myth and favelas are banned here; you’ll not only never retire but even if you manage to get to retirement age all your money is going to go to medical care. You might have a car but you need it to live since there’s more distance between your house and the only grocery store than there is between most villages in poor countries. Hell all the wealth the US stole still has more people living near open sewage lines than any country in South America. Shit even the cops are more corrupt than those in the south but you can’t even bribe them since they’re paid so much by the rich to protect their property.

    The American poor are happy to give up the wealth their country stole, because they never saw any of it.





  • Except he did change his content, has made more contributions to charity than you have, and has done more than what’s asked.

    And I can guarantee your first website interaction was Facebook based on your beliefs. Nothing he did was outrageous, the actions were misplaced in time by ten years. Should he have been more mature? Sure. But no one that grew up on the internet would find his humor shocking or really any more offensive than south Park.

    In your eyes as long as someone makes a mistake their evil for life, well let’s execute everyone over 20 then. We all know what forums were like. We all know what voice chats were like.


  • All of those events were after gamergate… and it was already acceptable which was the problem.

    And I’m not defending him, I’m correcting the timeline for you ridiculous people. You newcomers to the internet genuinely have no idea what the pre-iphone internet was like, especially gaming communities. PewDiePie was always on the safer child friendly side.

    If we forget what progress has been made and demonize everyone that has corrected their mistakes were just stuck with you people. And you people just suck. You’re not actually inclusive, you’re not actually offensive, you just confirm to whatever you think will not get you in trouble. Aka the original meaning of politically correct; being nice on the surface without meaning any of it.




  • He grew up on the internet during the wild West period, with that being his point of reference for social acceptability. He didn’t evolve with the rest of the internet as more diverse groups and more ‘moral’ groups changed what was acceptable.

    His three major incidents were saying the n word, wearing an SS uniform when doing a response video to an article writer that called him a Nazi, and getting some fiverr people to write a sign that said ‘kill all jews’ by taking advantage of the fact they apparently didn’t speak English. He’s apologized for all but the middle multiple times and essentially left most of the internet after having his kid.

    But since we’re in the era of the internet we’re in, nothing is ever forgotten or forgiven no matter what, and with the rise of actual Nazis across the world anyone that ever made edgy jokes or used inappropriate language has generally been swept up in it.

    That all being said he’s not exactly a great person, despite his massive charity work, he’s just another entertainer, like all the rest. No better or worse than your average random person that got money and wealth way too young.


  • Correction, he’s apologized for and expressed remorse multiple times but stopped apologizing after a subset of people completely outside of any potential audience of anyone related to the internet wouldn’t let it go.

    Many people that discovered the internet later in life and believe that people are once and always evil no matter what still think he’s racist/a Nazi. We call those people the web 3.0 people and they’re why reddit was ruined, why Tumblr got the rep it did, and why we don’t listen liberals on matters of inclusion anymore.
