Pewdiepie - Here we go again (More controversy over a word)

[TriHard]

Our dear Swedish friend was playing PUBG on his youtube livestream earlier and his teammate ended up getting rekt so Felix ended up dropping the N bomb (ER ending) in the heat of the moment.

That in itself isn't so interesting, but what happened later on is that a SJW founder of
Campo Santo (Firewatch) ended up putting his own opinions before the company's best interests.

Needless to say, he made himself look pretty stupid, especially seeing as how H3H3 just won a legal battle against some idiot who tried to fake DMCA their video. (Though that was a different case altogether)

Here's the original tweets from the dev:

And on their page it specifically gives ANYONE the permission to stream and make money off of the game:

Calling someone a nigger isn't racist.

[Nathreim]

So the fuck what? If a white guy wants to say nigger they should.

[TriHard]

Saw that. To be frank though, Ice does have autism (it's not just a stream joke)
Not to mention the guy was drunk as well.

But this thread is about Pewd's very recent episode, so don't start posting off-topic already!

You should see the reddit posts about this, people are up in arms once again, and I've already seen like 5 websites post about this, guess what, Kotaku is one of them as usual, LUL.

I don't feel the need to have sympathy for anyone involved in this breaking story.

[Independent voter]

Calling someone a nigger isn't racist.

It is and it isn't, context is everything.

[Blueobelisk]

I can't believe people actually use that word as a derogatory curse word. At all.

[Vyuvarax]

Calling someone a nigger isn't racist.

Saying the word itself is disparaging another race so it is racist.

[Very Tired]

Yeah... the world should just get over thinking that the n word is so controversial.

[Blur4stuff]

People who aren't racist don't use the word in private or "let it slip". It's not part of their vocabulary whether they are drunk, upset or anything else.

[the game]

Saying the word itself is disparaging another race so it is racist.

so black people are disparaging themselves when they say it?

[Trassk]

So the fuck what? If a white guy wants to say nigger they should.

Not according to Google-tube and the easily offended assholes working there.

[Doctor Amadeus]

Pewdiepie is a racist, was there any doubt from the first time he got busted for this shit.

[TheFirstOnes]

Here's an Idea:

It isn't racist. Also, we don't care.

[Trassk]

nigger, cunt, etc are just words. Only uptight SJW pretend (and yes they do feign outrage) when someone drops that word.

sadly those people run a lot of online media nowadays.

[Doctor Amadeus]

Calling someone a nigger isn't racist.

Yeah the long history and the violence behind that word say you are wrong.

[Donald Hellscream]

I think people are overreacting.
Was it stupid? Yes it was really stupid
Is it being blown out of proportion? Yes, what people are doing is making a mountain out of a molehill.

[Trassk]

Pewdiepie is a racist, was there any doubt from the first time he got busted for this shit.

actually no, he isn't, its just easily offended, bleeding heart social justice pigeons that want to be offended by anything they can.

[Vyuvarax]

so black people are disparaging themselves when they say it?

Context matters. Pewdiepie clearly uses it in a derogatory manner, and black Americans have re-purposed the word within their own culture. Your question is marks you as oblivious to simple facts.

[Trassk]

Yeah the long history and the violence behind that word say you are wrong.

And the fact you don't understand context makes you worse
