Hillary clinton campaign is literally to blame for the reason why some people (specifically someone in her campaign tried to claim it was a hate meme, and the dumbasses at the verge and others ran with it, and people started trolling as that) think pepe was some white supremacist mark. Why would white supremacist use…
I was in afghanistan in 2010, helmand province communications MOS in the marines. It was a nickname I earn through a funny set of circumstances. Every time I would try to get from just one fob to another, I ended up going on a tour of all the fobs in the AO. Either because of mechanical issues with vehicles, my higher…
These are facts not exaggerations or sensational stories. This isn’t “fake media” this is Pewdiepie offensively pushing the limit with “ironic racism” and sarcasm then trying to hide being “LOL I was joking OMG” as if that somehow justifies and rectifies the problem with this material, and it does not.
Context matters.
Okay, what about George Carlin, South Park, Family Guy, and many other shows and comedians who have made multitudes of jew jokes. depending on your humor and sensibilities, they are far more offensive than any shitpost from pewdiepie.
While I would love to reply to all of you posts, between the near essay length replies we have been having and the dozens of people who are still replying to my comments as well as the late hour I am going to have to call it a night. While I certainly dont disagree with your thoughts on comedy lets just say I am still…
Maybe you should read some of the comments in this thread, because you will see me repeatedly state that Disney was well withing their rights to end their partnership with PDP. My comment was all the yellow-journalism and knee-jerk reactions happening to Jontron and Pewdiepie (calling them racists and nazi among other…
Trump by no means won the popular vote. How trump cant understand that fact is beyond me. He won the electoral vote (and he should be damn happy he did and stop whining like a little bitch) which is what actually mattered. If hillary hadnt sat on her ass and assumed she had all the votes she needed and actually…
I did say ‘give or take’ for the generations, which is roughly 30 years. A good number of people who visit kotaku tend to be younger than 29. So 50 years is on the back end of 2 generations. I hope your marriage will be long lasting and full of happiness. Sure as hell aint enough of that going around.
“Kill the jews” without any context certainly sounds like someone is trying to do something violent. But if you actually look at the context of the situation, PDP paid money of Fiverr to see if someone was going to do a stupid stunt he was trying to do for entertainment. While not expecting anyone would actually do…
Agreed, but its the squeeky wheel that gets the grease and the attention while everyone else is just trying to do their job.
This guy puts it in a far more entertaining way that I can do, but shit like ‘resolutions for white people’ is a pretty recent example.
Dont forget, the person who said pepe is a racist meme is also white. Looks like you just cant seem to escape white people, can you?
censoring and censorship are similar but different things. to censor is on a small scale, censorship is large scale. We can be pedantic about it but I will admit you got me on that. I was talking about using it to control behavior, and its come about to trying to control speech. Probably could have worded it better…
Yep. He has the freedom to say stupid shit. And people have the freedom to call him out for doing stupid shit. But calling him racist (when its far from the case) or trying to push a narrative that he is a part of a white supremacist movement is horseshit and yellow journalism.
Never claimed to be a comedian, much less a good one. I have a sardonic sense of humor that tends to fall flat, so I try not to avoid it.
Jontron not so much, because he was just discussing his political thoughts on certain issues. Pewdiepie on the other hand went out of his way to pay a couple guys to record a video of them showing a message he had written. Granted in the context of trying to do something controversial (and whats more controversial…
I never said the word censorship. Nor do I think the situation with pewdiepie is censorship. pewdiepie did something stupid and is facing the repercussions of his actions, but in no way is this censorship.
