...Yeah man I'm American, don't worry, you'll never catch me arguing that America isn't a racist country lol. This place fucking sucks, and that's one of the big reasons why.
Like I said I truly do not care about Pewdiepie. I don't want anything bad to happen to him, I wouldn't go out of my way to make anything good happen for him, he's just irrelevant to me and that's fine for both of us I imagine.
Though I will say that if you elect to "not give a damn" about other people being exposed to racial slurs which make them feel dehumanized though, you're an asshole and a privileged one at that. Just because it may not be particularly relevant in your culture (though, back on 420chan [I'm old], I remember Swedish people whining nonstop about the Somali immigrants in their country, so I'm not sure I'm entirely convinced that it isn't a Swedish issue too) doesn't mean you shouldn't care about how it can hurt other people. Especially when said by someone with a global audience, especially when that global audience is largely children or teenagers.
But also, to reiterate my reiteration: I do not care about Pewdiepie and am not suggesting he be exiled from humanity, only that he probably shouldn't do that again. Which it sounds like he hasn't, so... good?
Well you sound about right in almost everything to be honest. Still I dont think he was that bad or that influential in terms of ideology just goofy and he probably now know that is better to not navigate this waters again. And well ... I care about pewdiepie. To me he always was good and now is producing a net good for humanity so... very good?
