I just think it's pretty cool that Felix, who has never really mentioned anything Linux before, chose to go with a Linux distro for the PC he put together.

Linux doesn't make up for being a nazi.
To what are you referring to?
the streaming in an SS uniform and paying people on fiverr to hold up signs saying "death to all jews", probably
Im pretty sure you are referring to him wearing a british military uniform. Also he did not have anyone say death to all jews. Provide source and I will correct this though.
Source?
Do you have a source?
I seem to be a bit behind on pewdiepie being a nazi sympathizer, mind enlightening me?
This video is a good place to start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnmRYRRDbuw
Last I heard, Pewdiepie has been trying to pass it off as jokes, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. (And whether or not he's "a nazi" deep in his heart doesn't matter. He's doing and spreading naziism.)
He made that as a waful joke, to the point even his fans also asking him to stop making those edgy jokes. He used to make N-word or any edgy joke because he was toxic gamer mentality. I remember seeing a total backlash on Pewdiepie official subreddit.
After the incident, he stopped making any edgy jokes. All of his content in the past half decade are basically wholesome or hobbyist stuff. He also recognize his mistake on several occasion.
I just watched the video, and it's a mix of good points and FUD IMO coming from a very specific worldview (esp with the art style and music choice). I do think it's worth a watch, as it challenges the predominant view and encourages you to think.
Thanks for linking it! I disagree with some of the conclusions, but it was useful nonetheless.
If he was a Nazi I don't think he'd be living in Japan. Furthermore, calling people Nazis when they're not Nazis really devalues the term. Be more intentional with your words.
PewDiePie has a massive platform, and therefore has a greater responsibility to be intentional with his words.
While true, I haven't heard him dropping Nbombs for like 5 years at least.
This really isn't the defence you seem to think it is.
Here's my opinion: You say the N word, even as a joke, that's on you. And it'll stick to you like shit on a stick. But it's on me to give people the benefit of the doubt and think charitably of others. I'm not gonna write a person off because they said a slur. I believe people can change and want to see that change in the world. If I didn't then there wouldn't be any incentive for others to change. Fighting bigotry is about building bridges, not tearing them down.
Yeah okay, I agree with all that, but once someone has established a pattern of harmful behavior, it becomes dangerous and naive to assume that they've changed without any sort of evidence.
We don't get to just assume Felix is a changed man just because he has the self-control not to drop hard-Rs on stream anymore, but he has to actually disavow those past actions as something more than just a "heated gamer moment."
He has to disavow the members of his fanbase who do believe that sort of thing is okay and that he's their guy because he'd say and do stuff like that.
He has to actually do something to show people he's better.
LO fucking L...
Do you not know who the Nazi's allies were?
If you think that has any relevance today then you're kidding yourself. Had the Axis won the war then Germany and Japan would be at eachothers' throats by now. Any alliance Nazi Germany had was one of convenience. They didn't honour their agreements. See: Russia.
If you're looking for Nazis, look to America.
Ah yes, Japan, a country famous for its hostility towards nazis 🙄
Your spine must be in pretty bad shape, what with it having to support a head comprised entirely of bone.
Do you actually think that two imperialist ethnostates would coexist for any meaningful amount of time? Do you truly think that Nazis actually saw the Japanese as "honourary Aryans"? Political jabbering to maintain good relations. A racist is a racist is a racist and Nazis hated anyone lacking blonde hair and blue eyes.
