  • Except he did change his content, has made more contributions to charity than you have, and has done more than what’s asked.

    And I can guarantee your first website interaction was Facebook based on your beliefs. Nothing he did was outrageous, the actions were misplaced in time by ten years. Should he have been more mature? Sure. But no one that grew up on the internet would find his humor shocking or really any more offensive than south Park.

    In your eyes as long as someone makes a mistake their evil for life, well let’s execute everyone over 20 then. We all know what forums were like. We all know what voice chats were like.


  • All of those events were after gamergate… and it was already acceptable which was the problem.

    And I’m not defending him, I’m correcting the timeline for you ridiculous people. You newcomers to the internet genuinely have no idea what the pre-iphone internet was like, especially gaming communities. PewDiePie was always on the safer child friendly side.

    If we forget what progress has been made and demonize everyone that has corrected their mistakes were just stuck with you people. And you people just suck. You’re not actually inclusive, you’re not actually offensive, you just confirm to whatever you think will not get you in trouble. Aka the original meaning of politically correct; being nice on the surface without meaning any of it.




  • He grew up on the internet during the wild West period, with that being his point of reference for social acceptability. He didn’t evolve with the rest of the internet as more diverse groups and more ‘moral’ groups changed what was acceptable.

    His three major incidents were saying the n word, wearing an SS uniform when doing a response video to an article writer that called him a Nazi, and getting some fiverr people to write a sign that said ‘kill all jews’ by taking advantage of the fact they apparently didn’t speak English. He’s apologized for all but the middle multiple times and essentially left most of the internet after having his kid.

    But since we’re in the era of the internet we’re in, nothing is ever forgotten or forgiven no matter what, and with the rise of actual Nazis across the world anyone that ever made edgy jokes or used inappropriate language has generally been swept up in it.

    That all being said he’s not exactly a great person, despite his massive charity work, he’s just another entertainer, like all the rest. No better or worse than your average random person that got money and wealth way too young.


  • Correction, he’s apologized for and expressed remorse multiple times but stopped apologizing after a subset of people completely outside of any potential audience of anyone related to the internet wouldn’t let it go.

    Many people that discovered the internet later in life and believe that people are once and always evil no matter what still think he’s racist/a Nazi. We call those people the web 3.0 people and they’re why reddit was ruined, why Tumblr got the rep it did, and why we don’t listen liberals on matters of inclusion anymore.







  • Yeah, JAQing off is all you people do. You want us to vote, unquestioningly for whatever fascist you throw up, and constantly ask pointless leading questions after they e been answered.

    The candidate shouldn’t matter. This is a democracy not an oligarchy. Hell you shouldn’t even be allowed to vote for individuals, given they should just be fulfilling the ideology of their party.

    In any case why not de la Cruz, since she’s a woman but not evil.


  • The problem is they’ve been promising that for two decades.

    They’re great at saying things, sometimes, to specific outlet while saying the opposite to their donors and other outlets. But they’re terrible at doing anything. At all. After decades of lies, after decades of trying to push them left… The Harris campaign paid partial lip service and promised what Obama did in 2008.

    Also no, Dems are the same as Republicans because their goals, based on their actions and voting records, are exactly the same. Make rich people more rich, bust unions, keep the poor poor.




  • Yes, the people that thought sanders had no chance due to dnc corruption that they were objectively correct about will mobilize for someone without that restriction. If sanders were to start a third party he alone would ensure the dnc never gets another candidate in office. And he’s a moderate.

    Because of the rules on civility, I’m going to say this as absolutely nicely as I can. Who the fuck are you to demand more from a random on the internet than the entire democratic party has ever given anyone?

    It’s a more concrete plan than continuing to go far right as the Dems did in the last two elections where they lost.

    M4a has around a 70% approval rating in polls, as does measures like focusing on green energy, taxing the rich, providing free college, retraining police, and reducing the power of the executive. Hell even ubi has over 50% in most polls. “Leftist” policies are popular. Hell socialism is extremely popular. You just can’t use the word socialist or communist thanks to 80 years of you people existing.


  • Acknowledge the problems Americans are actually facing, pick the leaders of the thousands of protests currently happening as grass roots campaigners, identify of those leaders who has the admin experience to do the boring jobs of an elected official, while folding in the hundreds of third party reps already in office by simply taking their talking points into the platform. Ideally make a show of rejecting corporate funding and roll some union leaders into the party to provide easy consistent funding sources.

    People are happy to vote for things, if they believe you’re not a cop or corporate puppet, like Harris or Clinton respectively.

    Oh, and public executions for people that think you can’t have a third party in fptp even when one party falls entirely out of favor.
