As an American Arab woman, I really don’t understand the American idea that Arabs and Indians are interchangable. They don’t look at all the same, much less have the same culture or language. Is it just that some Arabs and some Indians wear “turbans”? This “Middle Eastern or Indian” search is really some messed up…

Aladdin is not a story about Indians or Indian looking people. Selecting an Indian to play Aladdin shows stupidity on part of Hollywood and Disney. But Indians love the confusing racial and ethnic stereotypes Americans stupidly hold.

ACTUALLY know who would be perfect is Zane Malik He’s half Pakistani and has name recognition

Dav Patel is a great actor he’s also INDIAN they want someone at least from the middle east preferably from Afganistan (Agrabah is Ancient Bagdad even Disney admits that) RIZ is too old to play a 15 year old (Aaladin’s age in the movie) even by movie standards (the cap for that is about 28)

Are people still playing this regularly?

As foretold by Gary in season 1, Ash will forever be a loser. Doesn’t matter how hard he trains or how strong of a pokemon he captures, he will continue to lose.

I demand more local multiplayer. There aren’t nearly enough games with couch co-op.

I’m not against diversity, but I am against “diversity for diversity’s sake.” What does who she has sex with matter in an online shooter?

do the robot next

You have a really low bar for ‘well done’.

Most pranks don’t result in significant financial gain for the prankster. That’s kind of like propogating a ponzi scheme, and when it collapses laughing and saying “Ha! You just got punked!!”

I’m in the same boat. He could have easily hit 50mil subs first anyways, but to do it this way is super scummy. Checking his socialblade now, his subs aren’t going down, either, they’re still going up.

What little respect I had for Pewdiepie, being a nonfan, has now vanished. I mean, I knew something was fishy right from the beginning, but toying with your fans’ emotions just to get more subs? That’s...that’s awful. Even if it was only intended to be a prank, how does he sleep at night?!

Effective yet shitty way to get more subs. I have 0 respect for this guy even before this stunt and it isn’t improving. I just find him annoying.

If Kotaku stopped writing about any gaming personality/company that lied and manipulated people for their own benefit, they wouldn’t have anyone to write about.

Was kind of hoping he really would have the balls. And it’s not like it would have destroyed his career anyway.

I feel like knowing him must be exhausting

Not really. He hit the social media lottery. There’s nothing remarkable or talented about him, but for some reason the planets alligned and tons of 5-12 year olds latched on to him. His content isn’t impressive in the slightest.

If the end result is less shrill shrieking on the internet, good.

That really sucks. Just bought the last copy of the PS4 Definitive Edition off of Amazon in its honor.
