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.
