Disney ditches Pewdiepie after anti-semitic stunt

[Ripster42]

The fact that you wrote this crap proves that you havent seen the context that the joke was made.... context is everything.

Good luck with living your life believing everything you read in the newspapers...

Good luck living your life with apparently no ability to understand what's being said to you.

I understand context. I also know that some people literally don't give a shit about context. That there is no context they find acceptable for anti-semitic messages. That using the phrase, "Kill all jews," in this context is still objectionable.

I get it, you think anti-semitic messages in this context are fine. Not all people hold that opinion. WSJ understands this. Disney and youtube understand this.

Just because he has a friend that is a jew, doesn't mean that friend speaks for all jews and no jews could be offended by this. Or frankly, that no SJWs wouldn't be offended on their behalf. I mean, the fact that people are calling him an anti-semite over this should give you a clue that some people will be offended by anything. It should have been obvious to him that it wasn't going to be acceptable for disney. That it's going to be hard to get preferred advertising status without a good editorial process.

You'll notice that I'm not calling him an anti-semite by the way. Because I doubt he is one. But WSJ never called him one either. They just reported about content on his site, and disney's response to it.

And remember it wasnt the media that first said pewdiepie was a neo nazi or that he supported their views, it was the neo nazis that said that. If your mockery isnt mockery then you can't claim "It's just a joke dont be so sensitive" when people point it out.

As result, the Daily Stormer has the three WSJ journalists on their titlepage.

It was the only jew that publicly said if he was offended or not. And asked to not be offended by him.

It's the complete opposite, it was to showcase this ridiculous business model where anyone would do anything, including showing a card with "Death to All Jews", for 5 bucks. He asked other things to other people, like drawing a dick with MathLab or playing some other game with a girl that only played Heartstone. Those were rejected, just like Felix was expecting.

Yes, as I said, I understand that. Some people don't feel that "kill all jews" is an acceptable example. They feel that it makes light of the plight of jewish people. Is it some revelation to you that some people are overly sensitive? That disney et al might value those people more than felix?

"Felix Kjellberg, who has 53 million subscribers to his “PewDiePie” YouTube channel, reacts as ​​​​two men hold up a sign saying “Death to All Jews,” in a screenshot of a video ​he ​posted online. Mr. Kjellberg paid them to hold up the sign. The video was published Jan. 11 and pulled from YouTube this past weekend. The Indian men in the video apologized publicly in a video saying “we don’t really know what the message means.” Now Disney says it is cutting ties to the Swedish 27-year-old after WSJ inquired about videos he posted in which he includes anti-Semitic jokes or Nazi imagery."

It wasn't even a problem before WSJ hitjob.

If you thought the people at disney who made this decision were watching all his videos before this, I don't know what to tell you, except that you should get more experience working in a business environment where no one knows everything. In a multi-billion dollar company, there was 0 chance those people were watching his shows. This is why it's hard to take you seriously. You're so focused on what you hear people talking about that you don't think about it at all.

They bought Maker because Pewdiepie was part of it. I know that Disney management can wipe their asses with money, but a multi-billion dollar company doesn't keep their status with managing their roster. Especially when all this story was already low-key debate before the WSJ article.

Disney knew what was happening, they simply decided to cut off as soon they understood it was about to explode.

Many people have been really far and decided to use even go several times and used even stop on occasion as well. The thing to remember if you really want to do look more like then you must look more like the do you want and especially if the do you more want has decided to use even more go then you are presently doing look more like.

What PewdiePie should have said is "Israel is sending its Jews, they're criminals, they're rapists. And some are good people". Because then that's OK with fuckwitted Americans.

Had he said "Death to all Israeli's!" he would be praised for his bold "anti-Zionism".

I really want to understand this person...

[Theodarzna]

Watch this, he explains what happened and how the news story was a complete lie.

H3H3 is a jew himself.

This was nothing but a witchhunt, I don't even like pewdiepie and I can see that this is complete bullshit.

This is both a witchhunt but the Media is explicitly trying to take down a target and destroy it IMHO purely to prove that it can and it has power over youtubers and other alternative media sources.

After the 2016 election brought the media into a credibility crisis since it failed to shape, mold and control the narrative there, they desperately need to prove they still have power.

Pretty sure the poster is someone who speaks an exotic Oriental language (Japanese, Cantonese, etc), doesn't know any English, and is copy-pasting what Google Translator makes of what they originally wanted to say.

They're just posting nonsense. Check the posting history. They know how to speak english.

[Theodarzna]

The above person got to be the face of a major political campaign, but what PewDiePie said is problematic and troubling and he deserves to have his career annihilated.

I am curious why Pewdiepie is the one they target? Is it just the media's long standing hate for Youtube and digital celebrities?

[Theodarzna]

I don't understand why people keep pretending Sarah Silverman is somehow relevant to this conversation.

Its just curious, what is the thing that gets one in trouble?

Well there is something about Sarah Silverman that explains it

She has amenable politics to those writing the articles against PewDiePie?

Though honestly PewDiePie is pretty apolitical.

Didn't she also dress up as Hitler, at one point?
