I'm glad I've never so much as read anything from the manifesto. When I came into all this, all I knew was the shooter shouted "subscribe to PewDiePie!" and that the guy was also an 8channer. That's all I needed to know to see the connections to this tragedy and the whys and hows. It seems the manifesto only gives people brain worms when all of this is about white supremacy and the ways a white male is radicalized into believing such hatred towards people of another color. Jokes and memes are a funny thing, they can be used for a lot of fun and good laughs, but they can also be used to desensitize you to evils. Something that has been more and more frequent since GamerGate and it becoming a safe banner for neo-nazis to hide under while converting many to white supremacy, to the evolutions and creating stuff like "meme magic" which was used to promote Trump for presidency, using bigoted imagery and phrases, to whatever it is we have now, where it's all just out in the open without anyone hardly even trying to hide their repugnant beliefs in white supremacy. None of these things that PDP and others spout are just "jokes and memes" but the harmful spread of ideals and beliefs, while desensitizing many young minds and shaping them to these beliefs. And PDP and the like have done so with the help of alt-right individuals, showing their audience the way to radicalization. PewDiePie, as a public figure, holds some responsibility for the actions his fanbase does in his name. He is an influencer on YouTube, and an influencer's job is to influence. He has never really done anything to ever curb what his fanbase does in all his years as a YouTuber.
Idiots who come in to try to defend PewDiePie, maybe actually learn something and listen to what people are saying. And for the love of God, read the damn threadmarks.
