Including you. You don't realize that when Felix uses racism and fascism as a joke, he opens a door for people to do the same thing. Just because it's a joke doesn't mean it's not real. You can make a joke about racism or fascism if it's a smart joke that will make people think about it. You can't joke about racism or fascism when the joke is pointless and you act like a stupid teenager. Laughing at the suffering of millions of people is not normal. The media is not taking things out of context - they're just showing how stupid his actions are, because he thinks everything is okay when it's "just a joke".

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. 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. No. The N word is not a funny word and if he is targeting English speaking audiences then he should learn that by now. No one is censoring him. People are just deciding to disassociate from him. Disney and YouTube are both American companies, so no, this is not an act of cultural imperialism because both platforms are American platforms with American norms.

I found it funny He's nowhere near being racist, you know it wasn't real, he himself said it, he just proved people are willing to do anything for even $5 You want real change in the world?

Argentum 1,201 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I have been following Felix for some time and he doesn't seem like a bad guy. Indeed, the fiverr joke could be interpreted as offensive but knowing that it wasn't coming from a malevolent place, I just cringed when I saw it and laughed it off. To those saying: "OMG he is trash/ he's humor is unintelligent", I have to say that the content he creates does not seek to educate. For me and for many of his viewers, it is just a way to shut off their brain, relax and have fun. Just as some enjoy watching reality TV or sports, as a gamer, I enjoy his cheap comedy that does not necessarily have to amount to something... "Δεν είσαι αγάπη. Δεν είσαι αγάπη. Είσαι οφθαλμαπάτη.

That's the power that WSJ has, and they used it to bully PewDiePie in a attempt to destroy his career. Oh, I'm just visiting- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's not a funny word and you can't complain about cultural imperialism while still using Hollywood as an excuse. I know the media is wrong for this and they should have never made this smear campaign against him. YouTube and Disney are disassociating from him because of this media outrage but they are not on the wrong for doing that. They have the right to decide who they make ties with and PewDiePie's irresponsible actions are enough reason for them to disassociate from him.

River 90,531 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Logic of GGD users: Death to Jews - joke Death to white/black/christians/muslim - not a joke. Just be honest for a second and admit that if it was death to another group of people you would react differently.. Lately Hitler, Holocaust and antisemitic jokes became normal, you see them everywhere, nobody gives a **** about what happened.. just go to 9GAG and see for yourself, every second meme is admiring Hitler, laughing about the holocaust and so on.. So just stop with the "joke" excuse, it's not a joke! and you can't say that he's intelligent guy but at the same time to say that he did a stupid "joke" and didn't understand how bad it is.. maybe he's not antisemitic but he's not very intelligent like people says here..

I'm just trying to be like those racist white boys who use comedy as a way to express their hatred towards a group of people. But like to use the whole "everyone is so triggered" excuse anyways I don't hate Pewdiepie. I just think he called this upon himself. Hopefully he doesn't make racist jokes anymore.
