I'm loving Pewdie's redemption arc
There's no redemption arc because he literally never did anything wrong. His content was always family friendly
Didn't realize the N word was family friendly lol
which one?
has he stopped "accidentally" naziing?
He got backlash from his own fans from all edgy and toxic jokes. I remember some of his Indian fans are angry for his PewDiePie vs T-series stuff (T-series: Indian music company).
I think around 2019, he apologized and recognized all the edginess he did, and promised to do better.
For the last five years, all of his content are basically wholesome family stuff or creative activities. Even his recent art journey video are widely shared among young art communities that's not even his fans.
I wasn't aware of that, so thanks for the additional context!
I really don't get how so many people here are so happy that a Nazi is using Linux and doesn't like Google anymore. That's not the kind of clown I'd want representing or being a spokesperson for my interests and it's really making me second guess the people here.
Edit: @nasi_goreng@lemmy.zip 's comment has provided info I didn't have, and recontextualizes the attitudes here I wasn't understanding, so now I get why there's support for this.
Grow up. he did.
Might wanna take your own advice. For example, instead of making a drive by shit post, you could have done what another commenter did and actually explain why people are on board with this guy. That person's comment had me reconsider my position. Your comment just makes you look like an ass.
Yeah this is why it's so offputting seeing so much praise for him here. I don't believe he's ever outright apologized and owned up to what he's said and done in the past (I could be wrong though?). Last I checked the dude was literally a neo nazi.
My wife was a PewDiePie fan from before the slur incident so I've loosely seen some of his content over the years. He's apologized multiple times, and he's shifted his style significantly multiple times since then.
Basically in the last few years he's grown up a ton. He married his girlfriend of a decade or more after earlier refusing marriage, had a baby, emigrated to Japan and now posts tons of creative and day-in-the-life style vlogs
Didn't he stream a dead body in a Japanese suicide forest shortly after moving to Japan?
That was Logan Paul, and actually the Paul brothers' antics actually greatly delayed Pewd's immigration as the Japanese government actually stopped granting new visas to any social media personalitiws for some time after the Paul incidents.
If I remember correctly he wasn't able to immigrate until mid-2020 thanks to the Paul Borthers' lack of respect for anyone
That was Logan Paul around 2018. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-42538495
he has. people just prefer to go on judging. how you supposed to feel good about yourself if the people you hate for hating stopped hating?
started with minecraft & redstone, now linux & degoogling, can we extrapolate that in some years pewd's gonna start hrt lol
I was just thinking about this: more evidence of the Minecraft to Linux self hosting pipeline.
The programming socks will be the first sign.
Same, it feels surreal.
I was typing out in the comments that he should try nextcloud before I finished the video, and towards the end I saw that he was running Nextcloud. Fantastic
