"No mother, it's just the northern lights"

hi we’re a24 and we loved the ytp you posted when you were 15. do you want to direct the multimillion dollar adaptation of your opus, simpsons gone purple?

you actually feel gaslit when you try to tell white people of a certain age that pewdiepie, with a platform so vast and catering to youth, helped reinvigorate racism and casual dehumanization towards indians because they get all “omg you can’t blame One man for that” like yes i can actually :) we were very incrementally making our way past the gas station indian popularized by apu and indian creatives were finally being given legitimate and serious opportunities (like say what you will about aziz and mindy in hindsight but at the time that was a shift culturally) only for this dumb swedish pig to get online and spark that vile shit right back up. ask any indian with a modicum of pride in their heritage and they can tell you how uncomfortable pewdiepie made us with ourselves

Not to mention what an insane argument it is that you "cant blame one guy for that" as if he didn't normalize that behavior and rhetoric for his MASSIVE audience. Like the crux of the whole conflict was him and tseries competing for the top spot on youtubes most subscribed. We talk all the time on the internet about how creators have a level of responsibility for the way they portray things for their audience and most of the time these conversations surround people with a FRACTION of the following that he had. Arguing all of a sudden that he had no influence over the wider perception of indian people is a stupid statement at best and mind numbingly racist at worst. He had more influence on internet culture than the majority of youtubers do now and its insane to argue that that influence goes away when it comes to his anti-indian racism.

What does it mean....

sometimes people experiencing psychosis and/or mania will come up to you on the street and talk in confusing or upsetting ways. your job is to either have a regular human-to-human conversation with that person or politely leave. your job is not to call 911. do not call 911. you might kill that person if you call 911.
