100% this.
There is no mention of the guys name it's just 10 seconds of him dabbing to some shit on tiktok, How is this a promotion.
can we quit with the hyperbole lmfao. I love how everyone is jumping on the bandwagon in this thread without even checking the source.
Lets be real he's not promoting shit and 90% of his viewer base wouldn't even know who that guy in the tiktok video is unless someone like you make a thread about it. I know I didn't know who he was.

Yeah I think he's doing these vids for the controversy it generates. He probably knows there's no chance he gets banned so covers controversial topics and people to keep him in the headlines.
This.
He doesn't have the time to check the background of dozens of YouTube personalities. It's just not possible with his schedule.
Teehee, what a naughty boy.
I guess money doesn't buy you peace of mind. This guy just loves feeding into this persecution complex he has. He can't stop. Even if he weren't actually into this nazi shit, continuing to bring this stuff up for "trolling" is fucking pathetic.

Yes true, but we did help the allies quite a bit intelligence wise and some actual guerilla operations.
I'd believe it was an honest mistake if it happened once, but at this point, it'd have to be a crazy coincidence. A bunch of other famous Youtubers do the same shtick as him without ever covering and promoting Nazi trash.
I think it's more accurate to say because of his / his audiences shitty internet meme obsession / consumption, some amount of that is inevitably going to be /pol/ tier trash. There's probably a conversation to be had about that and what someone with a large platform should be doing to prevent this but the OP situation seems like coincidental ignorance and not something done intentionally.
Can't wait for the "how should he know about this, honest mistake, he's only a young youtuber doing fun things, he doesn't mean it, he's not really a Nazi" comments in here and mainly from other Youtubers, like every damn time he's being openly racist or openly promotes other racist channels.
We really need to be directing more ire at YouTube/Alphabet for letting this shit go on.
When the dude's username is right there in the corner of the screen, yes.
If he didn't check the guy's Twitter handle before posting the video with the handle in it, he's irresponsible and stupid.
If he did check it, this is just more reason why YouTube should be banning his ass.
Actually, he should be banned either way.

Well he does these kind of videos several times a week and there is no problematic content in 99% of his videos.
Honestly I don't think anyone would have even noticed it if it weren't for the articles.
When you're the biggest channel on YouTube? Yes. You're signal boosting anything you touch and you should be held responsible for propping up Nazis time and time again.
The "aw shucks oops didn't know" bullshit doesn't hold water. This fucker is a Nazi sympathizer at best.
Was he actually promoting this guy or did he just appear due to tik-tok being completely random clips? I'm not surprised there's a confirmation bias in this guys case but this one seems questionable. Has anyone actually seen the stream in question?
How do people know all these white supremacists, not PDP, this baked Alaska guy?
If I watched his video I wouldn't have a clue who he was?

If it's so hard for him to take a minute to check someone featured in his video then he should hire someone to do it for him.
I think we are past the point of him being able to plead ignorance on this stuff. But there is no way that Youtube would ban him for something like this considering the smörgåsbord of straight up hate channels they allow to keep existing.
He's counting on that but anyone clued into Nazi activity in the last two years knows who he is.
Idk if I'm allowed to link the video here since no one has already, But it's his latest video called Tik Tok GAMER girls, The clip in question is at 12:41.
TLDR - no he's not promoting anything
I have to genuinely ask you....
Do you really see all these instances as just coincidences? Just truly harmless happenstance?
I legit wonder if thats the case, why it doesn't happen in the other direction then. Why is it ALWAYS racist shitheels and far right loonies? Shouldn't the coincidences bounce around the map a bit more than that?
Genuinely asking. I want to understand the POV of someone who looks at these strings of incidents and manages to see nothing
Anything he puts in a video is promoted by default. He has a history of signal boosting Nazis. There is no excuse.
OP
OP
What I meant to say was that no one of his younger fan base would have bothered to check this guys account but thanks to the "controversy " they will be more eager to have a look.
Yeah maybe he should hire someone to check all the guys first before he includes them in a video but I am not sure if he is willing to spend money on that.
Honestly is there anything even to discuss about it anymore, it's clear he is an idiot and regardless of whatever his own views are he has no problem promoting awful people. What more is there to add?
The fact that kind of thing just keeps happening with so few repercussions scares the shit out of me. Not just the one youtubist being racist, but so many people not even trying to hide their loud-and-proud cross-burnin' flavor of hatred.
If only he had enough money to hire someone to help him not signal boost nazis...
PDP is the victim!

I know teenagers and they just want to laugh at all the videos/ memes in his videos. It's not rocket science.
It's different when he tells his viewers to subscribe to a channel but he didn't do it in his his case.
It looks like a hundred tik tok clips with one being the guy in question dabbing and pewdiepie saying "that's funny"? Seems like a lot of people didn't have any idea who Baked Alaska even was before this thread so its also on his editor for not noticing if they knew who that guy was, and editing this guy out?
Yeah that poor, poor millionaire. Only if he, or his 3 Editors had any time to actually check what he is reacting to. It's not like it's his job or anything.
We did help both Norway, Denmark and Finland..we took in a lot of refugees. But yeah we did let the germans transport Iron through Sweden.
I asked how you knew not ONE kid watching his video would go to that Twitter handle.
What you just said isn't an answer. The only answer is this: you don't know.
PDP posted a video to his millions of children subscribers that included a Nazi's Twitter handle. And you're making excuses for it. It's frightening.
He absolutely does if he keeps promoting these clowns over and over again and has to come out and say it wasn't intentional every time. This is a sad fucking excuse.
PDP is that you?
Would you mind using your 6th post ever on this site to explain what you meant by this?
I don't even watch PewDiePie, I have never watched a single one of his videos, except for this one and it's clear he's just reacting to a bunch of random Tiktoks. I'm getting tired of this forum and their attitude towards dumb shit like this PewDiePie thing.
