The people hating on him clearly haven't seen much of his content lately. He's grown up and has his life together pretty well now. If you think nobody is deserving of a second chance then you do you, nobody is forcing you to watch his content. I honestly love his redemption arc and I've watched some of his content lately and really enjoyed it. And good for him that he likes self hosting and is doing all these pc DIY projects.
he dint really accept his/or dealt with the consequences, he merely fled to japan to avoid and waited til all the drama died down, he mostly isnt on a redeeming arc, everyone just forgot about him.
I've never seen piewdiepie before his Linux journey. What did he do and what consequences does he deserve?
He did/said a bunch of racist shit in videos/streams.
In 2019 someone livestreamed themself committing a hate-crime/mass shooting, killing 51 Muslim people in New Zealand. The shooter began his livestream with "subscribe to Pewdiepie!"
That seemed to be a rude awakening for Pewdiepie, and I believe that he's stopped with the racist shit.
What racist things did Pewdiepie do/ say himself though? I don’t think it’s fair to attribute someone using his name to commit terrorism to him.
Similarly the guy who shot trump was wearing a demolitionranch shirt.
