Pewdiepie built a Gaming PC, and installed Linux Mint on it!
(programming.dev)
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.
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.
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.
or japan. weird but true, ethno-nationalists adore that country. the suggestion that X cant be a nazi because he lives in Y makes no sense
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?

This I see the points. Im sure they were clickbait edgy “jokes” but ofcourse someone with such a huge following should not be making these kinds of references. Thanks for the info!
i posted in another thread that got removed that really the important takeaway from what happened is that as he and his audience radicalized eachother. the people who didn't want to see the edgy stuff left, and he made no effort to distance himself from it at the time, so more edgy people started following him. in the end you had what the in-group saw as edgy humour while the rest of the world saw nazi shit. and like the "layers of irony" thing that 4chan had going a few years ago, what the in-group thinks its projecting doesn't matter.
Yeah, i stopped watching him for a number of hears when the edgy-ness was in full force. I enjoy his recent content since he has settled down in Japan, but I wont forget the dark years.
You don't know what you are talking about. He never wore a Nazi uniform and that Fiverr thing was a joke. He tried to see what would be the most horrible thing a Fiverr would so.
i don't care what he says the intentions were, just like i don't care what Elon and Bannon's intentions were with their "unfortunate gestures". a normal human being would never have thought to do that. the intentions don't matter, only the actions.
Elon musk is an oligarchs who spoke to a neonazi party, lies and gaslights and the list of shitty things he said or did is longer than Samuel Jackson's Imdb page.
PewDiePie is a video creator that has thousands of hours of innocent content with three jokes that were too edgy. Which he then apologized and condemned the ideas that he misrepresented.
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.
Not gonna watch the alt-right fetishist just because his mask is back on. Hard pass.
People can change. Not everyone is born aware of the seriousness of making that kind of joke.
I personally don't follow him so I don't personally have an opinion on whether he has changed, but I believe that people have the capability.
He already said publicly multiple times that what he his edgy joke in the past is wrong. We should embrace people progress into a better individual, right?
All of his content in the past five years after that incident also all wholesome or positive stuff. No more edginess or even slur.
No wonder why pewdiepie fell off.
Oh yeah
