[QUOTE=paul simon;38776858]I don't really know the guy, but what exactly makes him terrible except for rape jokes, which by the way are also commonly found everywhere else on the internet, including here at Facepunch? If someone were to cry about someone elses rape joke anywhere else, they'd get a response saying something along the lines of "Welcome to the internet". From this, he seems like a decent guy who takes harsh criticism well and even apologizes for his actions. I'm genuinely wondering if this hate for the guy is actually justified, or if it's just jealousy. Please fill me in about this if there's more to it :v:[/QUOTE] The thing is that his rape "jokes" aren't really jokes. Example: someone screaming "DICK!" isn't really a dick joke.
God, I can't even read the comment section. I want to punch these guys in the face. Ignorance is my pet peeve.
If anything I have learned that Pewdiepie is nowhere near as annoying and awful as the people who go out of their way to defend him when they could just act like normal human beings and admit his videos are flawed while at the same time still enjoying them, which is [I]completely possible[/I][I] by the way[/I]

Facepunch is a really weird place, they'll stand up for peoples rights to do something one minute and then tell another person to kill themselves for liking something different to them just as easily.

I'm not really a part of his regular "Bro Army" but I did subscribe to him as I do like "some" of his videos and I agree with a lot of people that some of his stuff needs to change like his jokes. His rape jokes are starting to stop ever since the "Adults react video" and I'm actually glad that video happened in that way, even as it is a spoof like video as it brought some insight on what he needs to change even though a lot of it was war, mostly in the comments but it helped. I have also seen a lot more activity happening with him apologizing about his "Bro Army" fighting in other gamer's videos. Before he has personally tried to tell them in the comments to not do it but really, with an average of like 500 thousand people who regularly visit his stuff(of 3 million of his subscribers), he obviously isn't going to be able to contain and stop every one of them from being stupid idiots trying to force their opinions on others and I'm sure what he is doing, even if it is a little, did stop many people from forming into a brain washed "soldier". Hopefully he learns to fix some of his problems though..
He used to be good, made some good stuff in his early youtube days. Now it's just all a clutter of random shit every 6 hours. Why'd ya have to sell out man.
[QUOTE=Cone;38787641]"flawed" shouldn't getting you millions of dollars and the unrequited love of more than 3,000,000 people[/QUOTE] I didn't say his popularity was justified, just that the people willing to defend him to the ends of the earth are inarguably stupider than him. In fact, that proves he's smarter than them because he's in it for the business strategy while everyone else thinks he's in it because he likes doing it. While it may be true that he enjoys it, the money is obviously a big part of why he acts like he does. The only reason he trains his subscribers to act like his "bro army" or whatever is because it means more viewers for him.

And hating this guy is apparently unjustified?

There was a certain novelty to a whiny swedish guy kind of image. Maybe the videos weren't that great, but at least they were a refreshing new thing. But the novelty wore off quite quickly, and it all rapidly became annoying.
What a bunch of ignorant kids in this thread. Well, you have always loved to hate, why would it be different now. *sigh*
[QUOTE=Oblivion470;38789041]What a bunch of ignorant kids in this thread.[/QUOTE] Get a load of this guy
The-Spy is rating everybody dumb if they say something bad about his beloved pewdie
I really dont think people would hate pewdiepie if he made better content. Anyone can scream and fake shit while playing games, ANYONE can do this, anyone can dribble out retarded shit, its just that he is the lucky one.
really? youtube pays millions? I never knew that, I thought it was just a few grand, and you sell merchandise to get the extra money
Another funny thing is, if Pewdiepie is making money, it's because the people paying him are making a lot more off of him. He's just being pimped out until he stops capturing the attention of idiots. Then he is disposed of and forgotten.
I remember when he only played scary games. Now it's Scribblenauts and other random stuff.

It's got nothing to do with luck It just means 3 million people are stupid as fuck
[QUOTE=Kevve;38791190]So he just accidentally got 3 million subscribers?[/QUOTE] Shit like this just randomly happens, theirs no explanation on how these people get so popular, but it definitely wasnt because of his good content.
[QUOTE=Dragoshi1;38790938]I remember when he only played scary games. Now it's Scribblenauts and other random stuff.[/QUOTE] It probably would even be a good thing. Change in theme and all - there are some really interesting let's play channels who do not limit to any specific kinda games. They have interesting commentary over games. Except there is no actual commentary, just more whining and awkward jokes.
[QUOTE=megafat;38787085]You know who made rape funny. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUVjZPVj1Pk[/media][/QUOTE] Rape as an element of comedy has been around for way longer than Carlin though.
[QUOTE=EcksDee;38792839]Rape as an element of comedy has been around for way longer than Carlin though.[/QUOTE] I was using him as an example of [I]good[/I] rape comedy.
[QUOTE=megafat;38792859]I was using him as an example of [I]good[/I] rape comedy.[/QUOTE] Well that's debatable too, but alright. RIP Carlin, but IMO Connolly is head and shoulders over him. Wait no this thread is about pewdiepie. Yeah raping, barrels yeah
[QUOTE=Sardonus;38779826]Eventually he has to die out. People need to stop caring. Eventually. I just hate how much he's ruined horror games. Thanks to shitheads like him now everyone runs around thinking Amnesia and Slenderman are the scariest fucking games ever made. I fucking hate Pewdiepie. He's literally just in it for the money. I mean he flat out confirms that. There's no interest in what he's doing, he's just screaming into a microphone playing the latest flavour of the month internet meme games and getting paid for this shit. Not to mention? He's a completely humorless cunt. He's never evolved past schoolyard humour of making rape jokes and screaming and doing the "LOL RANDUMB XD" I just can't stand people like him, or Tobuscus, or iJustine, who just do nothing and get showered in praise for it.[/QUOTE] But Amnesia is legitimately scary... Slender isn't though.

I think we should get a group of people to make a facepunch youtube account, where diff ppl do diff stuff everyday. Then every friday we do a cash giveaway on facepunch to some members with the revenue we get!
ending was hilarious
