“he seemed like a decent dude overall”

“Sure, Dick Cheney got us in the war in the Middle East, and personally helped to engineer the Patriot Act and has destabilized our country for his own profit. But you know, no one talks about the charities he donates to, it’s unfair!”

I never said that there was anything wrong with his fanbase.  I said he’s a piece of shit, which he is.

I don’t know, plenty of large youtubers who don’t have a Nazi following. The Markiplier and friends crowd may not be my sort of content but they’ve managed to become very successful without shouting the N word or taking advantage of the people in a poorer country to make antisemitic jokes.

As Kurt Vonnegut said, we must be careful who we pretend to be.

No. If what you’re saying has a large amount of Right Wing Nazis showing up and supporting you, it’s because what you’re saying feels appealing to the scum that is the so-called ‘Alt-Right’. The fact that they turned Pewdiepie into a meme that was referenced by mass shooters, and that hate groups support and spread…

How exactly is he being misrepresented? He did say the n-word. He did pay people to say “Death to all Jews.”  These things aren’t spin.  They’re objective facts.  

For what it’s worth, I think you can joke about anything you want, but the more sensitive your subject is, the better a comedian you need to be to find the humor without resorting to shock value or outright mean-spiritedness.

He gave a shout-out to a known YouTuber who makes pretty much exclusively hate videos. He paid some people who didn’t understand English $5 to hold up a sign that read, “Death to All Jews.” He has included anti-Semitic “humor” in more than several videos. And in addition to all of that, whenever he gets called out for…

The fact that he still believes that “he should be able to joke about anything he wants”. Tells me he still hasn’t learned a goddamn thing.  And why should he?  He’s a priveliged, rich asshole with an audience of yes men who think anything he says and does is gold.

I mean he definitely did some shitty things, so expect a bunch of comments disagreeing with your opinion of him. I don’t know if he has actually grown up at all and if the apologies and actions he has taken since doing those things makes up for them.

No one is blaming him directly for the shootings. What we are saying is that because of his massive influence with a younger audience, as well as the fact of how he aligned himself with a bunch of free-speech mooks and other shitty individuals, Pewdiepie’s brand of “I’m just joking” racism is a gateway to harder,…

They still had an indigenous population to colonize and hate and feel superior to.

What gets me is that there is a Royal who has convorted with an actual pedophile and may have done so himself, but yes, let’s have two embittered women snipe about Meghan “I glow with happiness’ Markle.

Not be white.

They thought this was a great soundbite?

After 18 years (with the last six showing major symptoms), I was finally diagnosed with cibiphobia: the fear of food. (Here is a really good Healthline description of the disorder.) It’s kinda like a combination of orthorexia and contamination OCD.

Damn. I thought bread grew on trees.

Generally, multivitamins don’t help very much, but in cases of extreme malnutrition like this one, it probably might have done something...

I mean, my mum noticed I had a very restrictive diet (probably for reasons similar to this condition) and had me on multivitamins. They were these chalky strawberry things and I didn’t like them (I only liked the gummy ones) but she gave them anyway because my fruit and veg intake as a child despite her best efforts…
