[QUOTE=Skyward;52668605]No, that's firmly the media's fault.
But he should recognize they're willing to do that and not spoon-feed them reasons to fuck over the site he's a face for. The goddamn WSJ was publishing articles about him being a [I]nazi[/I]- maybe he shouldn't go screaming nigger in a youtube stream.
He needs to realize his voice has influence and eyes are on him and take that seriously.[/QUOTE]
being super friendly with white supremacists on twitter definitely doesn't help either
i'm sure he's a decent guy in real life but i really don't get why he hasn't been more careful after all that shit happened earlier this year and he lost his show, his disney network affiliation, his company and his google ad promotion just because he was a little too edgy
i'm sure he could be just as entertaining for his audience while still toning it down slightly
[QUOTE=AaronM202;52668650]Does anyone know how Sweden treats this word, anyway?
Maybe i missed if anyone already touched on it, but he's not from ~this~ culture so it might not have the same kind of taboo to him to begin with.[/QUOTE]
some people still use it as a word to refer to black people without specific racist intent, even though it's generally frowned upon
it definitely isn't used as a generic insult like he used it though

All of those were bullshit though.

lmao this guy is great
[QUOTE=Skyward;52668659]You're not wrong, of course the fault mostly lies with the advertisers overreacting and pulling out for fear of the whole nazi situation that went down. But when it's been shown before that Pewdiepie's actions already served as a catalyst for them [I]doing [/I]that, it's irresponsible of him to not watch what he says and does more closely.[/QUOTE]
That was only a part that some people point to, a lot of it had to do with advertisers seeing their ads alongside games they didn't like and outside just gaming, content like actual nazi-sympathizers and ISIS videos and such having advertisements on them. Basically it was just advertisers wanting to crack down, get a better deal out of youtube, and have a lot more control over content. WSJ accusing Pewdiepie of being a nazi just makes a nice thing to point to.

Ah.
I was trying to think of it from outside the perspective of an American of how someone from a foreign country, or at least a non-english speaking one, might view that word with less of a sting to it and might use it as a generic insult and whatnot. Not that Americans dont use the word as a generic insult in multiplayer to begin with, which is how i imagine he picked it up, but thinking about it from different angles to understand the intent is all.

Gee, shouldnt have given blanket permission to make money off of what you made if you might not like who's doing it then, huh.
[QUOTE=Jarokwa;52668697]nigger isn't really a big deal outside of the US in general[/QUOTE]
Yeah here in France people seldom use it as an insult (we have other local insults for black people, which stem from the stereotype of the native African man as an incompetent, smiling goofball who compensates in blissful stupidity what he lacks in civilized demeanor).
It's still a part of language as an oddity, occasionally found in things like pastries and candy, and also the occasional phrase which has fallen out of fashion simply due to its association to a rather negative, patronizing stereotype. As such the only times it really causes some kind of uproar is when an aging celebrity uses one of these phrases without paying too much mind to what they're saying or expecting people to hear (it's often in private conversations) and only realizing the media shitstorm days after they said the thing.
I feel like Pewdiepie has gone the way of idubbz and filthy frank and just doesn't really give much of a fuck anymore, I really doubt anything will come out of this other than a bunch of people going insane on twitter

that's true, he doesn't really have much to lose anymore being independent and all

Can someone please explain to me the mental gymnastics for crucifying PewdiePie in this context but the leagues of people that will swarm to defend JonTron?

He made a video at some point which explained why he kind of stopped with his initial format and a pretty big reason is that he felt increasingly unhappy because he had to pretend so much to be hyped or spooked about every last shitty game sent his way.
He just kind of got tired of keeping up the "upbeat, easily scared dipshit" persona and decided to drop it altogether to just do whatever he wanted instead.

Do you mean here or twitter?
[QUOTE=AaronM202;52668747]Do you mean here or twitter?[/QUOTE]
Either, I suppose.
Seems to me like PewdiePie is more easily hated for some reason I don't quite understand, but JonTron is a golden boy so when he actually and specifically condemns cross-racial breeding it's met with "Nahh man you can just ignore it while watching his content."
honestly though, this is just one hell of a general overreaction with some virtue-signaling sprinkled on top
still stupid of Pewdiepie to say it knowing the risks that come from having such a huge following
there's a difference between a word and malicious usage of it, 90% of the butthurt babys upset by this are a bunch of crybaby crackers

Pewdiepie was known for a long time as the annoying fake screamer who pandered to 12 year olds for monetary gain until he up and decided to stop his facade and be himself, so there existed people who already didnt like him.
JonTron was always generally liked, iirc. He also seems kind of gullible and a little stupid sometimes.
I think its kinda funny seeing a number of lets players jumping him for it and even defending the Firewatch fucktard's abuse of DMCA. They're cannibalizing each other trying to look nice because of the advertiser problems are willing to sacrifice anyone and everyone for that goal.

Remember when youtube wasnt a shit show of trying to fit into some weird ass pseudo-political philosophy so as to not get ripped to shreds by a torch and pitchfork wielding mob of rabid psychopaths who'll ruin careers first, ask questions never?

Bullshit on the lawyer's part, or bullshit on TB's part?
Dunno about the lawyer, I but wouldn't imagine TB lying about that.
Maybe the lawyer doesn't know about the H3H3 lawsuit because that kind of set a massive legal precedent in favor of commentary videos being fair use.

Well TB also said this regarding the H3H3 case.

Lawyer, i dont think TB would lie.
While the Alex Mauer case is certainly a different beast theres direct comparisons you can make, and the H3 case was also somewhat similar if about a different medium, they both regard frivolous DMCA's. Mauer is in the shit and H3 won. I cant imagine them possibly being able to defend this DMCA having already gave blanket permission to everyone in addition to allowing everyone else to continue making videos.

I have to assume its one of those situations where the fact that practically nobody ever takes legal action in this scenario would weaken their argument to having a right to do it, at least in this specific situation where the person doing it is being rather two-faced.

True enough, but i'd argue LP's can be very much so transformative.
Like playing Metal Gear Rising vs. watching Matt and Pat play Rising is two different experiences.

I'm curious to see if Leonard French will say anything, this is his field of expertise.
I bet someone already said it in the thread but I've seen people on my Facebook wall say that "Pewds is done". I just said "you dont know who iDubbbz is"
