Disney ditches Pewdiepie after anti-semitic stunt

[derpkitteh]

i honestly think he should sue like the people that caused all of this for defamation.

this is 100% defamation. they cut shit to make it look like he was anti-semitic.

[grexly75]

Makes sense since Disney wants to avoid looking anti Semitic .

Which is interesting since Walt Disney was alive was supposedly anti Semitic among other things..

He paid two indians on fiverr to hold up a sign saying death to all jews. Not sure what the defemation is.

they used images of him from other videos in a completely out of context way to paint this as a pattern of behavior in favor of anti-semitism.

one image, he's making fun of youtube heroes and dressed in nazi-ish regalia and watching a hitler video. they took that an spun it as him being a legit nazi. did the same thing with a donald trump related video.

Many of them are national socialists though... Not all the nazis were national socialists in germany either. There were ideological divides in the Nazi party believe it or not. They had enough in common to work together.

Pretty hypocritical of Disney considering they gave us this..

this musical scene (Hellfire) from Hunchback of Notre Dame

Oh this gem of a movie that to this day Disney refuse to acknowledge


You'd think they'd be quite forgiving... :P

... You clearly ain't aware that the Donald Duck short = him having a DREAM about being part of the Nazi machine to horrible effect. He then wakes up and thanks God he's an American.

Hunchback = the VILLAIN is the one with all the racism and horrid acts towards gypsies. The entire movie portrays the gypsies as victims, good people and people only wanting sanctuary and freedom.

The Song of the South movie is just another movie from a time when racism was accepted as the norm. EVERYONE took part in it, the entire American people for example. Of course Disney's going to keep distance to those creations, we no longer live in a world where such crap is acceptable. Ain't nothing "hypocritical" about it. That movie was made in 1946 and doesn't actually portray the black character in a negative light, Pewdiepie's actions took place in the 21st century.

Where are people saying he's an actual Nazi? I don't think YT or any reputable journalism outlets are trying to say he's actually a Nazi. He uses Nazis and antisemitism for jokes and reactions in a really unappealing way, though, which is the issue here. The fiverr shit is tough to defend -- paying poor people across the world to hold up an offensive sign that they don't understand to be provocative and make a point about... something or other is pretty tasteless and lame.

Turns out being an out-of-touch edgelord and having a lucrative corporate media contract don't go together. Oh well.

the washington post did it. look at that video from h3h3.

There's no way I'm watching some idiot YouTuber's take on another idiot YouTuber. Where's the WaPo article where they say he's actually a Nazi?

Here's an article from yesterday where they call them antisemitic jokes, which is pretty accurate: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.25902ce8e2a1

Was there some other article accusing him of being a real Nazi?

ethan and hila are both jews. hila was in the IDF, and they met at a fucking holocaust museum.

i'd say their opinion on the issue is a little more important than a few butthurt american's opinions on it.

and the washington post made a video on it. idk how where to find it, maybe look at their site or something.

Uh, no. They're jewish, but they're also, oh, I dunno... business associates of PewDiePie? Or friends, maybe? Why the fuck would I care what they think, and more importantly why would YouTube? If I dig up a post by a jewish person who IS offended by this, does that mean I'm right all of a sudden?

It seems like there isn't actually any WaPo video or article accusing him of actually being a Nazi, but let me know if you find it. I scrubbed through a bit of that horrible video and didn't see any WaPo source, just that guy rambling about hit jobs and his parents texting him. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

PewDiePie's tired edgy bullshit lost him a bunch of money because he couldn't keep himself in line enough to fulfill his corporate obligations. It's a delightful outcome.

[Anastacy]

Does the theory that he did this to "break" his contract have any legitimacy?

[Darkeon]

You can be offended on my behalf, if you want, in the future. You are good at it!

Sue people for his own stupidity? Idk man

[burzian]

Seems weird for you to get delight out of it. Seems like you're jealous or something.

It's kind of funny, people seem to go for jealousy any time someone doesn't like someone like Felix. Nah, I just like when people who exploit poor people to make internet jokes experience consequences.

Thanks! I never said I was personally offended by any of his videos, but I know better than to turn away a compliment from an esteemed contributor such as yourself.

[burzian]

How the fuck did he exploit poor people? Did you know those people who made the sign were banned from fiverr? Felix then donated $500 to them and helped get them unbanned from Fiverr.

What you just described is someone exploiting poor people and then trying to fix it after it blows up. Good on him for helping those dudes out, but does trying to fix a mistake you made mean it never happened?

[Deleted]

I don't understand this fascination with watching OTHER people play video games.

Why is it so popular. Do people have nothing else to do but live vicariously through youtubers?

[burzian]

Again, how did he exploit them? He paid them $5 to do something that they had the choice to do or not. Where is the exploitation? He also gave every person used in that video credit and it gave them a ton of traffic.

He paid 2 poor dudes in India 5 dollars to hold a sign with an anti-semitic message that they didn't fully understand. He exploited their need for money to get them to do something provocative for views. There is nothing complicated about this.

[derpkitteh]

this is the dude i was thinking about earlier.



this shit's been around for years. there's ones of a class of kids saying "op is a faggot" and "hitler did nothing wrong" too.

[Selastan]

Poor Pewdie. I've always sort of respected him for getting so far just by having fun on camera, doing what he loved without giving a single fuck about what people thought. I guess you can't win em all.
