Nazi YouTubers fuck off.
What did pewdiepie do? Not defending him, I dont follow him at all, and I am just wondering.
You will find two major incidents. The bridge incident where he said the n-word in PUBG and a edgy joke where he tried to see how far Fiverr creators would go and asked for a video of people to write "Hitler did nothing wrong" on a sign. He apologized and condemned the behavior for both.
To me it seems like the source of a lot of the negative quick opinions come from a bad article WSJ did on him.
He's also promoted the books of fascist talking heads like Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, and Steven Crowder through his book club.
There's a reason the Christ Church shooter yelled "Subscribe to PewDiePie" besides being a topical meme.
