Why do you have to resort to name calling?
I'm just saying that the blame should not be shifted from the true culprit in this tragedy. It's moronic.
But okay, side with the echo chamber group-think mob.

Who's shifting the blame? No one is calling for PDP to be arrested right alongside the shooter. Acting like holding PDP accountable to the rhetoric he spreads isn't shifting the blame. People admonished PDP before and now because the way he behaves, the things he defended and the people he chose to associate with and accept support from are all things that don't exist in a vacuum. He pitched in with a multitude of other people in media to create a culture that produces these violent bigots.Why do you have to resort to name calling?

You think I give a fuck about pewdiepie?
I mean how is it PDPs fault that some lunatic are murdering people?
It is like blaming violent video games on school shootings.
I don't even like Pewdiepie, but holy hell, there is no pleasing you people.
More of these cowardly fucks making excuses for abhorrent behavior. The amount of stupidity on display here is astoundingPewDiePie is a sick goddamn idiot
But anyone throwing any blame on him for this is hypocritical as fuck, this is EXACTLY like blaming violence on video games.
HOW IS THERE SO MANY OF YOUHow tf does pewdiepie have anything to do with literally murdering people. If a terrorist blows up a bus and yells go lakers should i presume lebron's feet will be put to the fire?
Yeah the absolute state of this thread. If I didn't know any better I'd say we're back in the 90s, blaming Marylin Manson for all things terrible.I don't even like Pewdiepie, but holy hell, there is no pleasing you people.

PDP didn't commit any violence. He contributes to the rhetoric and the perpetuation of the culture that produces violent offenders. By pretending things like Nazism are laughing matters he breeds people who buy into the rhetoric, spread it, reinforce it and galvanize those who commit this kind of violence. By not admonishing the people in those groups who see him as a fucking hero, he continues a trend that already exists of people seeing that it's OK to stick to your beliefs about the inferiority of "undesirable" people. PDP had a simple job: Make sure that people watching his videos understand that white supremacy is wrong, bigotry is sick and equality is something that should be sought by everyone. Something that should be simple if you actually understand the stakes of what is going on, have empathy and are actually invested in bettering the world but he chose to double down time and time again. There is no single through line from PDP to this mass shooter but PDP contributes to the pitcher of water that makes up the kool-aid that people just like these maniacs drink from. Just like Alex Jones & Beitbart & Milo Y. & Richard Spencer, and on.
OP thread mark these plzI sometimes get the feeling that there are a lot of people out there who feel like they've accomplished something in the fight against bigotry by somehow going their entire lives without setting fire to a synagogue, and when they see someone like PewDiePie getting flack for silly little things like a pattern of behaviour years long of boosting figures associated with white supremacy, using slurs and white supremacy imagery himself in entertainment for teenagers, and then attacking the media for criticizing him for it, these people then have to rush to defend him else they themselves be proven not to be the valiant champions of the weak that they thought they were.

You're in a thread about a mass shooting that has left dozens dead, and all you care about is your fucking toys. Video game 'enthusiast' forum or not, that's exceptionally fucked up.There's no hill I'm dying on. Just speaking facts and calling out hypocrisy.

FUUUUCKKK OOOOFOFFFFFFfYeah the absolute state of this thread. If I didn't know any better I'd say we're back in the 90s, blaming Marylin Manson for all things terrible.
I can't believe some people are actually accusing PDP of being the main enabler of this horrible shit.
Who is saying this?I can't believe some people are actually accusing PDP of being the main enabler of this horrible shit.
The Lakers would have to answer for something if they regularly produced mass-reaching content that made fun of or lampooned the lives of victims of bombings. They don't though so your example doesn't hold.How tf does pewdiepie have anything to do with literally murdering people.

Yeah. Anyone who accepts Pewdiepie trying to distance himself aren't to be trusted. He has been in this area for a long time and just doesn't want to accept the consequences.
We're really getting somewhere now. Period.This shooting was no ones fault but the sick fuck(s) who committed it. Period.
You obviously care a lotThere's no hill I'm dying on. Just speaking facts and calling out hypocrisy.

He doesn't exist in a vacuum. His beliefs and ideas didn't come from the ether. People actually want to hold people like PDP accountable for the shit they put out into the world.This shooting was no ones fault but the sick fuck(s) who committed it. Period.

It's almost like real people have more influence than fictional video games.PewDiePie is a sick goddamn idiot
But anyone throwing any blame on him for this is hypocritical as fuck, this is EXACTLY like blaming violence on video games.
we were just following ordersThis shooting was no ones fault but the sick fuck(s) who committed it. Period.
Well alright, ignoring the false equivalency you included above... No one here is blaming PDP for this attack, they're blaming him for aiding and abetting in the spreading of a clearly harmful ideology. His actions in the past are indefensible, and given that he has had numerous opportunities to revise the way he acts and failed to do so, only makes it clear that he's not willing to.There's no hill I'm dying on. Just speaking facts and calling out hypocrisy.
You think I give a fuck about pewdiepie?
BullThis shooting was no ones fault but the sick fuck(s) who committed it. Period.
When you think about it it's incredible that someone can think that people form ideas/beliefs all on their own, without any outside influence. Like how much of an idiot do you have to be to believe that. It's fucking insane.Take a fucking sociology class or even a history class. Fucking clueless shit you constantly keep posting is exhausting. People are creatures of their environment.

So what about the other millions of people who watch that clown and ARENT shooting up churches?It's almost like real people have more influence than fictional video games.
I know, that's hard for you to understand, but try to keep up. These people are known as "influencers" for a reason. Promote hate, get hate.
The difference is a kid can't go out and buy an M Rated game by themselves. There's nothing really stopping a kid from watching a pewdiepie video.
