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

[urasim]

You know he made an apology video saying he had no excuse for using the n-word. Why are you two crusading for him and making excuses?

Nocturnus isn't defending him. He's calling out all the people who were fragile enough to take offense.

He shouldn't have apologized. The only thing he did wrong was offend the perpetually offended.

Why is Nocturnus defending him when the guy said he had no excuse.

He apologized because he felt it was the right thing to do and it probably does not represent who he is. I honestly do not think he is racist, but I do think he pulls off clever publicity stunts. He gets people talking about him...good or bad.

What we have here is people getting offended. And people offended by people getting offended. He said sorry to the people he offend. And now the "people offended by people getting offended" are mad.

It's a never ending loop.

I usually think people who use those words are either childish or stupid. I don't think they hate women.

There's nothing in the post you quoted that is a defense of PewDiePie.

You don't know what he actually feels. You just know what he says. He may be apologizing because he might feel like it's a loss in profits if he doesn't. It's silly to take things at face value when he's been saying this word for a very long time.

I don't care if you think he's a racist or not.

Not really. Do you think I'm offended?

Today's society is literally retarded.

I literally agree with you.

[Themius]

Whatever. Saying nigger is no worse than saying cracker.

Says only white out not touch people who ignore history

It's like saying breeder is just as bad as faggot!

[tikcol]

If its no big deal go into a black neighborhood and say it as loud as you can, Then explain to them how its not a big deal.

Or walk into a gay bar and make a homophobic slur there and explain to them that its not a big deal.

See how well that works out for you.

Why would I go out of my way to offend people?

Why should people go out of their way to feel offended?

Was there a victim here? No.

Stop giving words power they don't deserve. Nigger, believe it or not, is a stupid word.

Poor guy. All these offended little bitches focusing on human imperfection rather than just enjoying his streams. So he said 'nigger' in the heat of battle, who fucking cares?

I don't know what he feels. Neither do you. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt.

I don't care if you think he's a racist or not.

I didn't ask if you did care . I was giving my opinion. You caring has no bearing on my opinions. I can voice them whether you care or not.

Not really. Do you think I'm offended?

When did I say you were offended? Please quote. I don't care about you being offended or not .

Offense is only ever taken. Someone will find breeder far more offensive than faggot. Surprised I have to explain this...

And that person is an idiot

[urasim]

That's my opinion about anyone who finds words offensive.

[Themius]

That's my opinion about anyone who finds words offensive.

Anyone who thinks another person is an idiot for finding words offensive is a non thinker. People who thinks words mean nothing are extremely ignorant.

[Ettan]

Not racist, he is from a black country he can say it as much as he likes.

[ravenswood]

That's my opinion about anyone who finds words offensive.

Words are the mean by which offensive things are directly stated or implied. I don't think anybody is suggesting that a non-contextual uttering of a word is offensive.

Oh no, you did it.

Here comes the FBI statistics! Oh, and the Philando Castile had weed argument.

You're not going to get a single individual thought. Just a lot of copy/paste.

Translation: Don't let facts get in the way of my feelings.

[Themius]

Translation: Don't let facts get in the way of my feelings.

Statistics without context is meaningless.

Yup, the us has the death penalty for having weed.

Oh wait, it doesn't? Hmm....

I see you failed to understand what he is saying.

[Fencers]

The reaction to the initial live stream reportage was phenomenal on BPT. The post-apology by the personality Pewdiepie was just as good though.

I was particularly fascinated in how this story trended in a overwhelmingly negative fashion among social media groups. The power of societies.

I understand his foolishness it is just foolishness.
