They're worried about tracking brown people and don't give many shits about the obvious and dangerous rise of extreme white supremacy and right-wing rhetoric. Hell, many in law enforcement are very much right wing.

Major terrorist (white supremacist) attack in Christchurch (NZ) [UP6: 4 suspects in custody, 50 confirmed dead] (READ THREADMARKS)
- Thread starter Trevelyon
- Start date
This has to be the turning point where online hate groups, white supremacists, incels, and the like are treated as terrorists by governments, law enforcement, and intelligence agencies. It fucking has to be. There's no more pretending these are isolated cases.
Fuck this is tragic and it's only going to get worse.
I can't imagine this stupidity but it exists and as horrifying as this sounds maybe this footage will wake more people up but it won't be watched in this house hold no way

Nah. He's going to respond like any other political party who doesn't want to alienate their base. "Thoughts and prayers. Lone wolf out of 80+ million subscribers." At best he'll donate some money to a charity.
The shooter livestreamed the whole thing on Facebook. Before he got out of his car to carry out the attack he said "remember lads, subscribe to Pewdiepie", in relation to Pewdiepie's YouTube battle with T-Series.
Apparently a 4chan user, and streamed it live.
Jesus fucking christ.
How are gun laws in NZ? I assume similar to us aussies.

I have no idea what you're referring to. I'm saying people write off hateful things Pewdiepie either encourages or ignores, saying he's just joking, more and more we keep seeing that for a lot of people it's not a joke.
Fuck Pewdiepie. He does nothing to curtail any of this shit.
Instances like this make for a disturbingly good case against anonymity on the internet.
The guy said "subscribe to pewdiepie" in the livestream. A popular meme on the internet as pdp is trying to stay as the most subscribed youtuber.
Probably some servers located in some lax country. I remember underage nudity was a thing on there (techically "legal' nudity but nobody's fooled). It doesn't help that because it's a subreddit system in that anyone can make their own board, there's going to be boards with little to no actual legal moderation, allowing that stuff to fester.
Undeniably. It's a group of people using terror for political ends
It's nothing new. Right wing white terrorism has been around since at least the 90s in the US
I feel like vomiting reading about this
The shooter was an avid fan and name drops him in the video. PDP has cultivated an alt-right following of terrorists.
What is wrong with you people. Why seek it out? It's not a video game it's fucking real life. Enjoyed?? Wtf
Saw the video. He's a sociopath who's doing this for the memes, like a lot of 8chan's deranged userbase.
He posted a "manifesto" as well, where he basically says a bunch of meme-y crap and also explains that he's doing this because the birth rate of white people is too low and they will be replaced by foreigners at this rate. Also, in his view he is a terrorist who fights against the aggressors. Same logic as ISIS really.

You know damn well if there was a fucking message board frequented by nothing but young Muslim men where all they talked about was taking young girls as brides, the Western threat, and murdering infidels - and that site was directly linked to radicalizing other young Muslim men and had members who were responsible for (and celebrated) terrorist attacks.... that the site would be nuked from orbit and everyone on it immediately on a watch list for all eternity. That would be a logical fucking conclusion, but the same rules don't fucking apply here for obvious reasons.
For those that are confused about the PewDiePie thing, before the shooter enters the mosque he says:
"Remember lads, subscribe to PewDiePie."
That's where the connection comes from, his fucking ironic nazi humour attracted these deranged white nationalists who thought they were in good company.

Well, that's something I'll try to never watch. The fact that this was live streamed makes my blood run cold.
I will be baffled beyond comprehension if they don't. You can't fucking handwave this away. This is another Breivik style attack.
Also; why are people watching the videos!?
The shooter who is filming his slaughter said "Subscribe to PewDiePie" before he went in and started shooting.
They have written stories in regards to the shooting, and it's breaking news on the main website.
Yep
And I'm sure you're gonna have 'watch this live-streamed massacre!' challenges/reaction videos pop up like it's fucking two-girls one cup or some bullshit
Internet culture is severely fucked up. Late stage dehumanization and a complete lack of empathy or care.
Makes me sick because this will only encourage other fuckheads now
The accuracy is horrifying.
I meant games, not the video itself.
Pewdiepie has been known for being racist and has said the N-World on stream once. Because he's still going and stuff despite he's liked by Alt-Right for "Standing up to the SJWs" and keeping his ground. The shooter mentioned him before starting his massacre, also in reference to his want for subscribers to make sure T-Series doesn't beat him as the most subscribed youtuber.
Only tangentially related but ERA needs to reverse their policy on allowing discussion of THQ Nordic games until they fire literally everyone responsible for their 8 chan AMA. Enough half measures.
If PDP had any bit of personal morality he'd close down his own channel before YouTube does it for him. Time to look in the mirror, motherfucker.
I eas wondering if he said something specifically about muslims
Nah, fuck pdp. Dude has literally endorsed nazis and done anti Semitic/racist stuff while pretending to be ignorant of his actions. Only reason his channel never gets punished is because he makes money. And to silicon valley money trumps everything. Social media needs some form of regulation because it's clear they won't do it themselves.
They are targeting Muslims, expect nothing. The world over can't be bother for genocide and ethnic cleansing, I don't expect any action.
someone quote tweeted the video onto my timeline and i immediately regret watching it, even tho i stopped after like 5 seconds.
might be one of the most disgusting things i've ever seen, fuck this shit
the further context of the shooter being an 8chan chud sickens me
