i’ll make it as short and sweet as possible. i’m not a huge fan of felix’s content, i grew out of it when he stopped gaming. i just enjoy his minecraft series because i think it’s really wholesome, and i’m glad minecraft is back. therefore, i’m tired of defending him because i have to defend him in order to defend my views. i honestly do not care about him, i just start caring when it becomes an attack on me and my choices.

felix has been friends or associated himself with controversial, right-wing people in the past like ben shapiro. let’s be clear: i don’t like ben shapiro, or most controversial figures on youtube that the majority haven’t decided are clear, if that makes sense. i’m a left-leaning lgbt agnostic korean living in a muslim country, and if i thought someone was being racist/sexist/homophobic/discriminatory against different religions, i would never support them.

i just don’t think pewds is that kind of person. he has followed people with those views in the past, and i’m disappointed in him for doing so. he has had ben shapiro on meme review, and that’s really off-putting, frankly. he’s irresponsible and stupid and doesn’t know what he’s doing in the worst way possible.

but the claims i was getting in my tumblr askbox were mostly that he himself is a nazi, a racist, etc. but he has distanced himself from those supporting that kind of view, and he himself is friends with many prominent left-leaning/left-wing figures like jack black, jacksfilms, etc.. he dropped the n-word, and i was very, very disappointed in him and because of the event, i dropped watching any of his content for a while. i was shocked when i saw the stream, and was iffy on him for a long time. but he apologised and NEVER SAID IT AGAIN. i know he’s an adult and he should have realised the significance of the word, but i personally don’t think he thought it through and thought about the actual meaning of the word before saying it, if that makes sense. his mind didn’t understand the significance of that word and passed it off as just another swear word in that fraction of a second. if he had said “chink” under the same circumstances and followed up on the issue in the same manner that he did, it would have been the same for me. i would have forgiven him in the end.

i understand why you wouldn’t like pewdiepie. he tends to say things without thinking, without realising that his actions, more so than most people, have consequences, and it can be so easy for his words to be misconstrued and to be promoting alt-right ideology. i’m still iffy on the guy myself, truthfully speaking. but not because he’s actually a nazi or racist, because he’s not. once again, if he was racist/a white supremacist, he wouldn’t have mourned etika’s death like that nor would he have been so cordial, respectful, and polite in the japan trip. all the “evidence” “proving” that he’s a nazi were all honest-to-god mistakes on his part. STUPID MISTAKES, undeniably, but NOT ON PURPOSE. therefore, he’s not a nazi, nor is he trying to intentionally spread nazi propaganda.

irresponsible, makes too many edgy jokes, naive, hung out with stupid people in the past, yes. i understand that you may be upset with him for that because i’m upset with him for that too. but don’t come at me calling him a nazi and also thinking I’M OKAY WITH NAZIS or anything like that.

i hope that clarifies things, and i hope that was worded correctly. anon asking has been turned off, because if you’re going to attack me with outrageous claims, you better be brave enough to do it to my face. i’m fine with polite discussions on controversial topics and always have been. i have a very open mind, just no patience for unbased claims.
