Yes, racism is bad, but is it worse than one of the most valuable companies on earth making less money?

Capitalism doesn't think so.

Congratulations, child in the form of a racist man, for successfully leveraging luck and Toddleresque screaming to become the most popular douche in kids entertainment!

SEE THY CHILD'S HERO, PARENTS, AND DESPAIR, FOR LO, HE IS WITHOUT RESPONSIBILITY, AND CONTINUES TO BE A TERRIBLE INFLUENCE.

There's an equilibrium point between racism and $$$ where companies start to care. PDP is too profitable for them to care.

Capitalism...

Can we say anything else?

Also never got the fan base that likes him before and still don't. So...yeah completely out of touch with why he's even popular, don't care about watching idiots play games.

Its a scary world when you know atleast 100M "people" have been radicalized by a racist, sexist homophobe and worst of all, A NAZI! Youtube has to delete this fascists channel ASAP.

I don't get the issue here.
People are capable of both good and bad things.

Pewdiepie got his punishment for his racism when Youtube dropped his shows two years ago.

The issue has been settled for TWO YEARS.

No grudges need to be held for that long.

This 100 mil milestone is important for both Felix and Google. Let them recognise it.

"he apologized, what more do you want?" is usually the rationalization people use to defend this kind of shit.

it's a cycle of people waiting for people to forget, it's incredibly transparent and it tends to work

Doesn't mean it shouldn't be called out, though. It's straight up gross. It wasn't a one off mistake on his part.

I feel like the world stopped giving a shit with Pewds antics because he kinda reverted back to being a Minecraft lets player, instead of drama/"thot" shaming BS. He just exists in the background of YouTube trending here and there and isn't relevant much elsewhere. Same has happened to a lot of edgy YouTubers. JonTron is as racist as you could get without putting a white hood on your head and he seems to be doing alright.
It's depressing.

Hey everyone!

Great news!

PDP got his "punishment" before, so it's totally okay that he proceeded not to change and continue to signal to his alt-right fanbase and eventually got himself tied up by being referenced by a mass shooter, but it's good! He was already "punished"! We can relax now.

He is currently a partner of dlive, plus I don't think he will stop his main source of income like ninja did unless Microsoft or whoever is willing to give him astronomical amount of money possibly even more than what ninja recieved

But he did change. His Minecraft videos are completely different than the drama stirring edgy bullshit he used to revel in. He even explicitely rejected it in an update recently. Not saying you should forgive everything but there was in fact a change.

We do not provide a platform for PDP or his content here, and we don't need to signal boost them here.
