PewDiePie Is A Nazi - General

[QUOTE=AaronM202;51878317] Disney/Maker isnt in the wrong necessarily, but the reason they did, because of outside pressure from organizations like the WSJ, is.[/QUOTE] To be fair, that really just roots back to the media itself. It's fair to call Disney cowards but they're trying very delicately to uphold this ultimate reputation that they desire to keep.

[QUOTE=Sonador;51878241]If I made my money posting stupid shit on facepunch, should they be restrained from banning me?[/QUOTE] So now it's those Indian guys fault? Talk about victim blaming.

[QUOTE=Tetsmega;51878335]So now it's those Indian guys fault? Talk about victim blaming.[/QUOTE] This thread is full of outright legitimate victim blaming.

[QUOTE=AaronM202;51878274]I dont remember news companies pressuring his means of income to ruin his livelihood without even speaking to him when he was doing rape jokes. Now let me see if i can find a mirror of this article you need to pay for to read. [editline]26th February 2017[/editline] [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFY7mGkmFxo[/media] Heres the video they included in the article in the mean time, which is all kinds of chopped up and manipulative. [editline]26th February 2017[/editline] [url]https://www.wsj.com/articles/disney-severs-ties-with-youtube-star-pewdiepie-after-anti-semitic-posts-1487034533[/url] I should just note this part real quick: This indicates they did indeed go to his sponsors before ever reaching out to the man himself. Thats fact.[/QUOTE] It's a shame that the old "google the headline" trick doesn't work anymore with WSJ. Though that video at least is mostly shit. Even without the manipulation though, I'd be willing to bet that something like this would eventually have happened. But oh well I digress

[QUOTE=Sonador;51878200]G\At any rate, yes, my example was hyperbolic, but we can easily eschew it for an analogy where I'm doing sideshows with my car and accidentally damaged someone's property. If I pay for it, it doesn't excuse me for being an asshole and doing stupid shit in the first place, I'm not magically a saint and misunderstood. And I'm disingenuous, hahah holy shit, all right. I needed a good laugh today.[/QUOTE] in this case i'd say the people running into the house would be the media. they're the ones that ended up blowing all this out of proportion, if people were smart and didn't take the joke out of context, then no harm would come out of this shit.

the funniest thing about this whole pdp debacle is that i've seen people in the internet and irl get right hopping mad about trump and 'fake news' that have turned right around and go full inbred and totally subscribed to the fake pdp nazi shit fucking incredible that shit is oh did i say it was funny i mean its fucking sad and awful jesus h christ weve failed u lord just start the fucking rapture or something and end all of our suffering

Like this is literally manufactured news Turnip. Feel free to enjoy it, or get on your high horse about others being nazi's or whatever but this is literally a manufactured story created by WSJ. There was no story here. It was a literal non issue. But using their power as a media conglomerate, a very well respected one at that, to push Disney, and even attempt to push YT around, created a story, created a huge issue for people to care about to bolster the WSJ readership which has been steadily falling for years.

I will wait. [editline]26th February 2017[/editline] hell, point to where I called anyone an idiot.

[QUOTE=Sonador;51877410]Shame it's objectively true given I clarified that a little later on, no matter how intensely you feel about it[/QUOTE] It's nice that you think whatever you decide is objective is so, but that isn't how objectivity works. Honestly he really isn't that much of an asshole. If you follow him somewhat regularly it's pretty obvious. Stupid jokes aside, people need to quit being offended. It's ridiculous he has had to deal with the backlash of something as stupid as a jew joke. [editline]26th February 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=srobins;51878305]What's staggering is that anybody could be stupid enough to defend a concerted effort by massive media outlets to paint a YouTube comedian as a literal neo-Nazi for having kids in India dance around with a flier that says "KILL ALL JEWS" as a fucking joke.[/QUOTE] Every time I try to give the general population on our planet the benefit of the doubt that most people are smarter than I give them credit for, shit like this happens.

I'm kinda disappointed by this. Hbomb usually says a lot of things that I agree with, it's disheartening to see his stance on this particular issue.

He made a tasteless joke. He apologized. He is learning. Are we punishing and refusing to forgive a man who is trying to better himself?

[QUOTE=Judas;51877119]pewdiepie is such a scumbag[/QUOTE] Exactly how is he a scumbag [editline]e[/editline] one thing people have missed in this whole debacle is that Game Grumps made virtually the same joke just a little while ago, with Danny laughing while yelling "All Jews must die~!" of course nobody cares because Danny's Jewish, but they're actually trying, unlike Pewdiepie, to be ~the PC youtubers~ and run a [I]relatively[/I] family friendly show, yet you don't see them getting dropped or shunned for making racey jokes

[QUOTE=Diet Kane;51877286]I know right how could he participate in the holocaust with fellow white supremacists Jon "Hunt The Jews In My Safari" Jafari and Mike "Myklon B" Stoklasa[/QUOTE] His legal name is literally Jon 'Aryan' Jafari, I don't think an over the top nickname is really needed lol.

[QUOTE=AaronM202;51878814]You're fucking lying.[/QUOTE] It's true. On one of the group chats Sargon thought someone edited that in on Jon's Wikipedia page. [B] 10 May 2016[/B] [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=JonTron&oldid=719582603[/URL]

Keep in mind his family heritage goes back to Iran, which literally derives its name from Aryan.
