People freaking the fuck out about someone saying the "N-word" is hardly Ant-level political stuff. It's just embarrassing. Even South Park made fun of this stuff.
I think there are a lot of people who dont like that word, and a lot of people who dont think this lottery winner should be where he's at. Society being 'over' the offensiveness of a word is a self governing thing, it doesnt need anyone declaring that its over because thats never going to be true.
He apologized immediately and said he didn't mean it "that way". It was during a livestream, he didn't plan to say or make a statement by saying it...
Even if you ignore the politics of it, what they're trying to do is selectively remove all context from language and destroy people over it. Context matters in almost every other situation to draw meaning from it. To pretend some words are special is irrational and stupid.
That's not confronting a problem, it's missing the forest for the trees and pretending you're doing something good.
I agree that context is important, very important. Now, a white kid tossing out that word casually and accidentally to his audience is not a very defensible context. It's hardly the same as william faulkner using it to demonstrate the decay of southern aristocracy.
pewdiepie makes millions of dollars a year because his personality is a commodity. When what you produce is that useless its a volatile, double edged sword open to things like this. People dont care if the farmer growing their food, or the guy building their car was throwing around racial slurs casually because those are hard, essential commodities that are easily separated from their manufacturer. Pewdiepie has given up that notion of separation because of the nature of his product.
The whole reason a thousand kids are saying nigger right now on Xbox is because of people like you. It's only used for it's shock value. None of them are secret bigots because they are whire kids 'casually' using it in a joking way.
Gaming and nerd culture used to be localized to actual nerds. Those were the days. We had the internet to ourselves too. Then millennial normies (God I hate this word) appropriated internet culture and now it's all virtue signaling social media.
Gaming used to be for male nerds, that's why the women in games were scantly clad and the games fun and fast paced. Now it's about appealing to the lowest common demoninator and we have to seriously talk about whether Anita and Zoe were harassed for blowing journalists. Can't the normies just fuck off and ruin another hobby they don't even really enjoy instead?
There's nothing anybody can do about it really, he was streaming. It wasn't in any of his youtube videos. All they can do really is be triggered and bitch. He's so big I don't think even this can hurt the guy all that much. Pretty funny to be honest..
Can someone explain to me whats the end goal of the people bitching? Should he be hung or imprisoned for saying a word that offends some people while playing a video game? Should he be shunned from society?
Can anyone really withstand that scrutiny? Have people never said something they regret in the heat of the moment?

It's news because after that incident in Virginia he did some boo hoo speech saying he now realizes racist jokes are wrong and promised not to make them anymore like a faggot.

Pewdieoie is a good egg. I used to think he was an annoying 'xxtreme gaymer' type, but now that I see he's exposing gen Z to antisemitism and racial slurs...maulybe gen Z had a chance to undo all the damage millennials caused.
He's not exposing them to it, he's doing it to fit in with them.
Gen Z aren't PC faggots like millennials. Every generation rebels against the last one, so their way of acting out is ironic racism, trolling and shock humor. They'd fit in here. So jew jokes and nigger are nothing new to those kids and thats why he felt comfortable doing it. Compare their reaction to the older millennial writers freaking out about him. They don't give a shit.
If you had to make silly noises into a mic years on end to entertain the dumbest people on the planet, you'd be screaming nigger in your head 24/7 too. Oh shit, I just figured out Anthony.
Firewatch was the shittiest "game" ever, fuck them for even thinking they have any sort of serious reputation that people care about. They sold an overhyped walking simulator with pretty GameCube-era graphics, they are worthless.
Maybe somewhere out there is a sub of former pewdiepie fans who now despise him, latching on to every word he says waiting for him to screw up and alert the presses.
Pew Die Pie has a massively larger audience than all Compound shows put together, times a gazillion. Artie & Anthony will have to up their racism game if they want to keep Deep Discount interested in sponsoring them.
Nuance matters, and also, this guy is from Sweden. Maybe lets not force our history on people from other parts of the world. Slavery had nothing to do with Sweden, and they have no reason to honor not using a word for something that has nothing to do with them.
I bet you top dollar you couldn't hang with a Swedish dude without wanting to murder him in his sleep. They are the type of people who would track you down for owing them 5 dollers. Probably not in a violent way but they would plot your demise.
Taboo over here to say nigger. 20 years ago it was common to call chocolate balls "negro balls" without thinking it was racial .. Times are changing :( Another fun fact is that when my grandmother was young they went to a show to see "nigger Jackson".. It was just to go and see a black guy showing the palm of his hand etc because it was so rare to see a black guy in northen Sweden.
What an absolute stupid time to be alive. An adult man named Pewdiepie got in trouble at his job (playing video games for money) for being too racist. And other adult men are defending him.
Its easy to figure out why all the attention is given to this non-issue.. Articles and outrage gets attention not only by the SJW but also by those who want to defend against this ridiculousness... So that is how ridiculous shit get attention.
A lot of parallels to Anthony here. Rich for doing something that doesnt take a lot of talent and not shutting up about black people and jews instead of being appreciative of being rich for having no talent. Then doubling down on it when there's still a chance you could recover
