What about 9/11? Would it be funny still? Of course it would be funny! I've heard many 9/11 jokes that made me laugh really hard. You haven't? If not then you're missing out cause I've heard some that are absolutely hilarious. So what? Someone who makes a joke about 9/11 is a supporter of Al Qaeda now? F*ck that, 9/11 has comedy potential. Laughing at the suffering of people is not funny, but 9/11 and Orlando shooting jokes are not about people suffering, they may very well rely on the twisted and sometimes ironic nature of life, which is a funny thing at times. Thinking that you cannot joke about certain things is having the mindset of a 6 years old who hasn't yet realized that the world is actually much more complicated than good vs evil.

The problem with that type of comedy is that people may get rightfully offended and you should always expect backlash. If you don't care for the backlash then go ahead but don't expect the world to love and praise you for making a joke about a sensitive topic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the problem here is that he is a public figure with millions of followers and he knows that his audience is very young so he should know by know that everything he does is probably going to affect the point of view of his followers. I don't think he deserves all the hate and backlash but he should have been more careful and smarter. He is a celebrity now, he needs to act responsibly like any other celebrity out there.

If you don't care for the backlash then go ahead but don't expect the world to love and praise you for making a joke about a sensitive topic. I fully agree with you on this, and it works both ways. You have a right to be offended at someone who makes jokes that you don't like, but you must be responsible with the way you retaliate. Making an entire article filled with lies and misrepresentations to tarnish the reputation of someone you don't like is an act of irresponsible use of power. They have the power to contact companies affiliated with PewDiePie and tell them "you either sever ties with him or we report that you are also anti-semitic for supporting him". This is an act of bullying, and it made PewDiePie lose millions of dollars. If you ask me who is more in the wrong here (PewDiePie for making an inappropriate joke or WSJ for destroying his reputation and cutting his main source of income), I think it's pretty obvious, and it's an act of bullying that should not be tolerated. Just now, DrewStevens said: The N word is derogatory in Canada, Australia and UK too. It's not an American thing. You can say that it's only an English thing but then he makes his content in English so there's no excuse for that. Exactly. In these countries the N word is derogatory, so people living there will get shamed for using it. PewDiePie doesn't belong to these countries so he doesn't have the cultural mindset to feel oppressed by this idea, and asking him to censor that word is an act of cultural imperialism. To him it doesn't mean anything, and that's why he uses it. It's just a funny word. If people who watch his videos decide to start using the N word they will learn out on the street they shouldn't use it. PewDiePie is no one's teacher and he can say whatever the f*ck he wants.

Branflakes 137 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Everyone's going on about how he should expect backlash from his actions and jokes... However the backlash he has gotten has only come out of how the media manipulated footage and portrayed him in this horrifically negative light. Barely anyone cared before WSJ made a defamatory video about him. Now it's literally been on every main stream news station in the world... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure the media is harsh but i'd say its justified. I hope they do more damage to him because its soooo funny .
