Are we on io9 or a fucking granpa’s blog?

A profile of YouTuber Pewdiepie in the New York Times titled “What Does Pewdiepie Really Believe?”

The casters were fired because they were aware of the stunt and even introduced it while joking.

Just like any other boot since they’re all made in china.

Notice the costume change without even mentioning it.

Exactly five fucks and 99 cents.

Now that’s a load of malarkey.

20 times.

I’m not trolling, I’m seeing if with perseverance, a bunch of random people on the internet can see reason.

He didn’t lose his gig for showing his support to HK, he could have done it elsewhere and he probably does. He lost it because he was contractually obligated not to do it while in a blizzard event.

Why I’m doing this? call it a social experiment...

Oh right.. sorry I’m not allowed to express my opinion.

Depends which injustice you’re referring to.

Well you’re literally doing nothing by bitching about blizzard when the issue is way more serious, and way over your head.

They terminated their relationship with a dude who violated his contract and put their whole business into jeopardy.

If the dude had protested IRL on his own time, they wouldn’t have done anything to him.

It’s the useless pointing of said injustice that is the problem.
If you wanna go to Hong Kong take a few rubber bullets to the face for the cause then you’ll have all my respect.

Well, I am kind of stupid after all, wasting my time trying to put some sense into a bunch of wannabe activists.

I’m not batting for anyone or anything. I don’t even play blizzard games or care for them.
I’m just “annoyed” by this useless misguided internet activism.

Well then, buy a majority stake in blizzard and then make them quit the chinese market and go bankrupt. Commenting on the story and even boycotting them will not change a thing.

It’s not a controversial statement, it’s an unreasonable one.
All companies abide by the laws of the countries where they operate.
