He’s not going to let you suck his dick for kissing his ass.

Stop defending him.

You can LIKE Pewdiepie while ALSO CONDEMNING THAT BEHAVIOR.

“oh he haz freedm ov speec he cn say wat he wantz”

Paying 2 people to hold up a sign saying “death to all Jews” is anti-semitic and there’s literally nothing funny about it. It’s not like he called someone mean words, he paid people to hold up a sign calling for the death of an entire religious group, and it being “out of fun” doesn’t make it ok. At all.

If someone had a sign saying “death to all women” Tumblr would lose its shit

If someone had a sign saying “death to all gays” Tumblr would lose its shit

If someone had a sign saying “death to all blacks” Tumblr would lose its shit

And rightfully so.

But Pewdiepie has a sign saying “Death to all Jews” and all of a sudden we have to “stop bullying him, it’s just words”

The fuck?

Him being a rich and famous youtuber just makes it ok?

Tf is that shit?

Stop fucking defending that trash behavior and call him out on it. You can like his videos while also saying 

“hey, I like you but that one video really wasn’t cool :/ “

If I lose followers over this I don’t even care. Calling for the death of an entire group of people, joke or not, is shitty and being rich and famous doesn’t make it ok. 

Once again

YOU CAN LIKE HIS VIDEOS WHILE ALSO CONDEMNING WHAT HE DID

The massive problem with PewDiePie’s humor is that there is no / no obviously noticeable layer of satire.  Whilst I do have my problems with South Park (especially later seasons) it has consistently being able to maintain it’s layer of satire.  The most important thing for a joke is context. 

When someone like Cartman on South Park screams “death to the Jews” or tells an a particularly distasteful joke it is definitely communicated to the viewer that this is a work of satire and this is not the guy they should be rooting for.  He almost always gets what he deserves eventually. 

Some will argue that the joke was nothing to do with hate towards Jewish people.  The fact that the “joke” was meant to highlight the things people will do for money is even more problematic.  It’s very reminiscent of Bumfights - a series where a wealthy white man goes onto the street to dehumanize homeless people (who are desperate for money and alcohol) for profit. PewDiePie paid two men in India five dollars to hold a sign with an Anti-Semitic message that they didn't fully understand. He (a man who according to Forbes in 2016 made $15 million) fully exploited their need for money to get them to do something provocative for views on social media. If that doesn’t sound ethically wrong...?

PewDiePie is a huge example of the limits and disadvantages of inane “doing it for the LULZ” humor (which is completely separate from satire; satire such as the artwork of Charlie Hebdo).   “Doing it for the LULZ” humor can be done well but it is hard to pull off.  The normalization of this kind of humor is bad for comedy and bad for society.   Racism and anti-semitism for the LULZ most of the time (especially during a time when “alternative facts” is a thing) contributes to the climate of hate and makes people such as Neo-Nazis, white supremacist groups, Islamic Extremist groups and others on the far-right feel vindicated. Whether the joke is said it in earnest or in jest, the negative effect is the same. People can be put in danger all because somebody wanted some LULZ and didn’t think about the effects of their material and how it could be interpreted.

I feel that there are a lot of YouTubers supporting him for their own selfish reasons.  Of course there are those that definitely support him, but I don’t want to ignore that YouTube is not just a bunch of amateurs in bedrooms anymore.  To some people YouTube is their livelihood and a business.  There are huge opportunities for an increase in viewers and subscribers (and therefore income) by simply kissing PewDiePie’s ass.

IT WASN’T JUST ANY OLD DUDE WHO DECIDED, “HEY I WANT TO CREATE A KOREAN ALPHABET.”

IT WAS KING SEJONG, WHO ORDERED HIS ROYAL SCHOLARS TO CREATE THIS ALPHABET SO READING AND WRITING COULD BE ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE, EVEN THE PEASANTS. IT WAS PURPOSELY DESIGNED TO BE EASY TO LEARN.

SO SHOUT OUT TO KING SEJONG, WHO REALIZED BEFORE MANY OTHERS THE IMPORTANCE OF UNIVERSAL LITERACY.

If you have ever had to write a resume for work or for an application, then you know the hardest part is figuring out what type of words to use that sound professional and and intelligent.

Example: If an application asks you if you have any relevant experience for a job at a day care center and you have experience, like you have babysat children. You would look at the words in the columns to see what words you should use that will help your resume stand out. You might put down “Have supervised and attended to children on a regular basis.”
