He said he had just seen the video though. Most of the time when I watch a youtube vid I don't read the description.

PewDiePie recommends straight-up Nazi channel (Hitler speeches, calls to get rid of Jews, more)

When you have a platform capable of sending millions of people to an endorsed product it is up to you to research that product for its associations and meaning.
yeah I just meant that in that instance I think pewdiepie was talking about nazi references in general which can be neutral historical info, to emphasize something or someone unnaturally strict, rigid, orderly (e.g. grammar nazi) etc.
Ben Shapiro ain't really alt-right and Jordan Peterson definitely ain't. N-word thing is the only time I've felt like he stepped over the line. However what you maybe dom't realize is that here in Sweden the n-word doesn't have anywhere near the same stigma around it because we have a completely different history with regards to these types of things compared to the US.
i suspect he knows people are gonna react badly and did this on purpose for attention to keep shit interesting
Nothing of this surprises me, it's all expected from these Youtube guys. They all cover the same topics with same arguments and all sympathize with Nazis, it's like they'd have a shared writer. Probably Bannon or Milo. Good stuff...
Not this shit again. First it was French, now it's Swedish. Swedish has slurs too (so it shouldn't be foreign concept) and even though I don't find Pewdiepie the brightest, he can't be that fucking stupid (don't know about you). And he isn't streaming to Swedes either, he's streaming to the world. He knows the word is hugely offensive, you can see it in his reaction right afterwards.

He said that he mentioned 28 channels in his video, isn't intimately familiar with all of them and just watched that guy's anime review. He also edited the recommendation out of the original video
No that's not what I meant I'm just saying I know the guy. Just like you probably feel a connection with your favorite youtubers if you've watched them for a very very long time.
Ben Shapiro isn't alt-right? Jordan Peterson definitely ain't? Are you serious? Have you heard the rhetoric those two espouse?
Even if he just recommended it by an honest mistake, being ridiculously arrogant about it and striking back at people with a legitimate issue really doesn't reflect well on him.
Good, then you should know better than anyone that he's a racist, obnoxious moron.
None of these excuses fly when you have an international audience of 60 million people, mostly kids.
User Banned (2 Weeks): Excusing bigotry over a series of posts; trolling and antagonizing other members
You are all completely abusing the word NAZI imo. It's not a word to be used lightly. You're not a god damn nazi just because you express some views that aren't 100% conforming with the hyper-liberal gender fluid view. I'm a super liberal socialist yet I'm able to differentiate between a moderate right wing, anti-pc kind of guy and a jew hater.
They're entertainers, they aren't your friends ffs.
Dude said horrible shit and supports horrible shit. It's really not that complicated. He can try and apologize all he wants but he keeps doing this shit. He's trash.
Sad to break this to you, but your childhood friend is a fucking nazi or at the very least a nazi fluffer. First you need to realise that and then you need to make him realise that.
Racisms exists everywhere, including in Sweden. And yes, against black people.

Saying "I don't care, leave Pewds alone" would be a lot easier than what you're doing here. More honest too.
"Hyper-liberal gender fluid view?" You mean the one where people are held accountable for the people they signal boost?
He doesn't owe anyone anything? He just makes videos and if people want to watch them they can watch. Also even if "the excuse doesn't fly" it serves to prove what I am saying about him def not being anywhere near a NAZI. Like do you people here even know what a nazi is?!?
What do gender politics have to do with PewDiePie being a Nazi, my totally-not-a-troll new best friend?
FUCK
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFF
also 102
Dude all I'm saying is I've been subscribed to him for a long time not that I'm marrying him next week.
So you're in favor of not holding people accountable for the shit they do. Cool bro, hear you loud and clear.
A Nazi is the schmuck Pewds recommended and now has a substantial amount of new followers.
shapiro and peterson's entire professional brand is based around stating traditional bigoted viewpoints as if they are brand new pieces of enlightened thinking.
It was more a figure of speech. I was refering to when pc-culture goes too far.
The video has a joke about Heather Heyer's automotive murder. Are you being purposefully obtuse?
That settles that. Fuck off, 104.
Hey, uh...
E;R is 100% a Nazi. If you want to say that PewDiePie is only a Nazi-supporter, we can make that compromise. (Though damn, "pretend to joke about it" sure fucking sounds familiar.)
Would you prefer white supremacist? I'd consider that good enough.
And yes, when the person in the recommended video espouses conspiracy theories about Jewish people, relying on age-old tropes of "globalism" and such, and uses fully known coded language and symbols, then at the very least the recommender is Nazi-adjacent.
And when it happens repeatedly it means he's a Nazi.
And when you have an audience of 60 million, many kids, you do have a responsibility as a goddamn human being to make sure you aren't leading them astray.
coulda just cut to the chase and said SJW lol
so did you actually know and grow up with Felix "by your side" or have you just been watching his videos for a long time???
You say that like people haven't stopped using words like "negerboll" for a reason.
This is not PC culture going too far and your figure of speech played your hand on your true opinions. PDP recommended a channel from somebody that is a Nazi. He has done biggoted actions in the past that call into question his feelings on minorities. He's, legit, not a great human being.
Correct us, then. What are 99% of us believing that is wrong? Don't be a coward about this, defend your boy.
Oh my good God. How many accounts do you have?
Can you fuck off already?
Ya I just saw the shapiro and daddy peterson quote. it's p obv.
Yes, Nazi is the bad N-word. You got it mister.
No.

Honestly, the bulk of points you raise scream insincerity (unprompted criticism of gender topics, the "n-word doesn't mean anything bad in [European country]," [these actual alt-right white supremacists with Nazi connections] are just right-leaning") but just in case, I want to point out how unhealthy this sort of empty "connection" to a celebrity can be when you blindly empathize with them to the point of defending and justifying their bad behavior.
Among other things, you undoubtedly integrate those behaviors and views into yourself when you can only see them uncritically. Feeling that connection is totally relatable, but if you don't have that ego-barrier to recognize and grasp differences between your values and theirs, it's a massive risk factor for you. The longer they've been "part of your world," the more unavoidable that is. This is putting aside the risk of you to them if you get the impression they've "rejected" you after building up this psychological house of cards in your head about them.

Ben Shapiro and Jordan Petersen are fucking alt-right shit heads and saying the N-word in Sweden wouldn't fucking fly, what fucking planet are you on?
