Which is exactly why youtube need to do something about it

Are they really so hands off with everyone? I mean you don't expect Youtube to become part of the creative process, but at the same time with so many viewers you'd think that these high rolling Youtubers would have someone more dedicated to them regardless. Whether that be letting them know they are crossing certain lines, and even the opposite where you maybe ask them "what can we do to improve Youtube for someone like you".

It almost seems like Youtube is completely detached from everyone other than their own strike system and the DMCA. Everyone else, big or small, is just floating off in another sphere and the only interaction with Youtube HQ is "video being demonitized" or "video taken down". "Got an issue? Even if you are in the tiop ten watched people? Go through the system."

It's kinda surprising. And there are people that can be contacted. Like I know one Jvlogger who spoke about this that thee are some people who he talks to in Japan when issues arise, and he doesn't blame them for it cause apparently they can't really do anything about it. It's just an extremely impersonal system when it comes to Youtube communicating with the Youtubers for good reasons (hey a video was demonitized let us actually help you out to tell you why or why not) or bad (hey your video is about promoting curb stomping. We can't let such videos stand because of their promotion of fatal violence). Just nada. Like talking at a wall when communicating with Youtube let alone them talking to you.

 

[L Thammy]

Going to remind that he had this pinned on Twitter for a little while.

I'm sure he feels like it's okay because he talks like a black man.

 

[Lightning_Roller]

And people will keep on defending his racist ass.

And the cycle will continue forevermore. Fuck pewdiepie.

 

[joecanada]

At this point regarding youtube I'm of this mind
Fuck youtube, fuck the advertisers who are still on it too.

Wait does someone know what I'm referring to here? there is an organization who contacts advertisers directly to alert them that they are being advertised directly on .... is it breitbart? and they have actually had many ads pull out on google I think you can submit a claim to make sure your ads don't appear on certain websites.

Couldn't something like that work here too? if we had some people record pewdiepie or other assholes saying racist shit when all of a sudden a FORD commercial cuts in (don't know if Ford adverts on there just example), maybe advertisers would weigh in directly?? Could you record youtube clips with the actual commercials that pop up directly with them>?

 

[Drillary Clinton]

Fuck this piece of shit and anyone defending him

 

[wandering]

The worst thing about boogie is that he can (and apparently has, since he had weight loss surgery) choose to not be fat anymore if he wants to and suddenly the fat hate would no longer apply to him.

A poc can't decide to stop being a poc and have the racial slurs stop affecting them. How can he not see the hypocrisy of his statements.

I find Boogie's cowardice and complicity horrible but I want to point out that being fat isn't entirely that simple and weight loss surgery can be very risky.

 

[Northeastmonk]

The only way to hit this guy is in the wallet, which means boycotting his channels and banning your kids from watching him.

Yeah. Would we have this kind of Pewdiepie had he first started his channel a month ago?

He goes from being a humble video game streamer to this. Remember when he talked about his life story (draw my life or whatever)? Now he can take vacations every week and offensive material doesn't matter anymore.

He's a fucking dumbass

 

[LotusHD]

It is 100% allowed. You have light skin people like Fat Joe dropping N bombs on songs with black artists collaborating with him whilst doing so. They all accept the fact he says it.

It's a perspective thing and you don't have to agree with it, but you should try and understand that different perspectives exist instead of just the 1 correct one you believe in.

Some black people are cool with others saying it, some aren't. All I know is that even if you got that one black friend that lets you say it, don't assume everyone will be cool with it.

 

[luulubuu]

I guess this still on topic but did H3H3 said something about this the last time or?

 

[frontovik]

He's like a moth to the flame. I suspect his callousness is going to catch up with him one day.

 

[LegendX48]

For a second, I thought this was the same thread from last time when he dropped it during PUBG(?)

He's probably not gonna stop. Kinda makes me wonder, isn't most of his audience younger kids? What in the world is going on there with him spouting off crap like this?

 

[UberTag]

I'm really surprised Youtube still didn't do anything about it.

I get that they like the money he makes them, but not even a timed suspension or something?

YouTube is a racist platform that wholeheartedly endorses and profits from white supremacists.

Why are you surprised by their inaction?
Have you not been keeping tabs on the internal Emails floating around Google of late?

 

[malboroking]

GTFO of here with this shit. You think this gives people a blank check to be racist towards whites? Cracka is a term meant to be derogatory and offensive towards a certain group of people. Racism. It's the same thing as using the N word.

No, it isn't even fucking close.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

You shouldn't be

Well I was talking about the gger variant, I have honestly never heard even a black person say that. I still agree with what ice cube which was basically it ain't ok to say it even you're friends or people in your community are ok with. Like you said though, it's definitely a perspectives thing. For example my eldest brother is a dark dominican and he says nigga a lot but my little brother and I don't say it because we're both light skinned.

Fat Joe isn't white

 

[Kintaro]

At this point i want to know of any gaming publishers still sending this guy any games, promos or partnerships because at this point, they are supporting a known racist and liar.

So i can stop supporting them as well.

 

[joecanada]

Going to remind that he had this pinned on Twitter for a little while.



I'm sure he feels like it's okay because he talks like a black man.

is that true?? did you say HE had this pinned on his own Twitter? what a fucking clown, I thought that was a joke against him outing his racism until I read your post.

You’re thinking of Sleeping Giants.

 

[L Thammy]

The things Pewdiepie's career was founded on would be the death of other people's careers. If it hasn't already caught up to him, it's because the people responsible for making him rich don't care.

is that true?? did you say HE had this pinned on his own Twitter? what a fucking clown, I thought that was a joke against him outing his racism until I read your post.

Yes. He had it up on his own Twitter when he was defending that politician who said women were less intelligent.

 

[ramoisdead]

Oh they said something alright...

 

[Booker.DeWitt]

Can I make a suggestion ? Can we just keep one official thread for pewdewpie and then post new screw ups he makes instead of creating a new thread every time he says something stupid (which has been frequent lately)? Sometimes I think I am in the off topic session and not gaming session lately.

You can if you'd like to PM a moderator, but I can tell you the answer will be no. We make new threads for new news. If you don't like a thread, don't click it. Complaining about it in the thread is a violation of the ToS.

No. New news, New thread. Dems the breaks.

 

[joecanada]

You’re thinking of Sleeping Giants.

So does sleeping giants only focus on Breitbart or would they also go after a Youtube? Time to step it up I think... their mission statement says

We are trying to stop racist and sexist media by stopping its ad dollars. Many companies don't even know it's happening. It's time to tell them.

youtube is racist by being complicit and lazy.

 

[Nekofrog]

I find Boogie's cowardice and complicity horrible but I want to point out that being fat isn't entirely that simple and weight loss surgery can be very risky.

I never said it wasn't. I said it was a choice he made and shows him to be a massive hypocrite when he can be critical of fat shaming while he's fat, but then choose to start the process to not be fat and therefore shed the criticism he faces in his every day life all while simultaneously turning around and hand waving racist hate speech.

 

[LotusHD]

I don't see the point.

Also this sounds like a personal problem

 

[Neith]

I'm so glad this idiot has been exposed for the fucking imbecile he really is. I'm so damn glad we are over the 'but he gave to charity and he's actually a decent guy bullshit' that dominated the forums for a good bit.

If you can't see stupid in this guy, and along with stupid comes ignorance, conceit, et cetera, then you are not looking hard enough. It was ALWAYS there.

The fact that he gets away with this and has an audience of children is just mindblowing.

This guy knows nothing about the culture where this word erupted, nothing about the history of it, and is just some dumbshit from overseas that likes to be LOUD for his audience. Why was this ever respected? How can this be respected? Well it was on these forums for a while at least in part by an apologist section that to me was highly annoying and super defensive.

You don't see those folks anymore. Maybe he put on a good illusion I guess.

 

[JusDoIt]

Fat Joe is Puerto Rican and Cuban. There's a 174% chance he has African ancestry.

 

[GiantBombGamer]

Fuck this guy. Unreal.

I’ve only seen them target breitbart. Would love it if they expanded their scope.

 

[Sailent]

Oh they said something alright...

These two are more disappointing by the hour.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracker_(pejorative)



I mean really. This is common knowledge. The meaning of a word is given by it's understanding in culture. Words change. They don't always mean the same thing as how they started. This is how it is to be understood. If it's not meant to be offensive, why did that poster use it in such a way? It was obviously meant to be offensive based on that person's race. That's all I'm saying. Racism and being offensive towards people needs to be stamped out wherever it exists. I really can't explain it any better so I'll leave it at that.

Everyone knows what cracker means you pedant. That's not the point.

 

[Mael]

I'm so glad this idiot has been exposed for the fucking imbecile he really is. I'm so damn glad we are over the 'but he gave to charity and he's actually a decent guy bullshit' that dominated the forums for a good bit.

Capone gave to charity and all.
It was never a good excuse to give him a pass.
Heck how big the donation would people accept for outright genocide while we're at it.
Anyone falling for this either knowingly doesn't care or is a grade A moron.

I am genuinely curious why it is so difficult for some of you to simply ignore a thread you have no interest in?
Do you think having a single thread would make it easier for you to ignore a thread like this?

 

[MayMay]

Does he live in Sweden? Is it possible to have authorities intervene, perhaps institutionalize him?

...

 

[Fred-87]

So many kids that love this guy. It's disturbing.

Yes that is what bothers me the most of all!

 

[Slayven]

Racist going to racist

Exactly, which is what pissed me off in the first place. It was like OH MY god a rich youtuber who kind of plays games gave to charity the world is saved. Even though this dude was ALWAYS a horrible role model with absolutely no redeeming value or intellectual value whatsoever.

I mean, he was never funny in a Chris Farley way either. He was always an idiot.

 

[ChackanKun]

I didn't even knew this gu before all the threads about him started to appear here.

Maybe this is what he wants? Clicks = Money in Youtube, right?

 

[luulubuu]

Oh they said something alright...

Pathetic

 

[blakep267]

The way he says it makes it abundantly clear what it implies. You know the Denzel Washington meme from Training Day? It was basically an emulation of that.

PRetty much. He was gonna say "Mah Nigga" but caught himself

 

[Ultravi0lence]

Any professional sports person, actor, musician, artist, doctor, teacher etc would have had their career ruined by this (saying it more than once and other hateful things, not even just an accidental, idiotic one off).

Gaming video makers apparently transcend all of these to do and say what they want and actually gain fans and support by doing so. It is unbelievable.

 

[L Thammy]

I didn't even knew this gu before all the threads about him started to appear here.

Nope. He's incredibly rich and popular regardless of how many threads there are. You being unaware does not change that fact. There is no long con here. There is no ulterior motive.

The reason Pewdiepie does racist things is because he's a racist.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

GTFO of here with this shit. You think this gives people a blank check to be racist towards whites? Cracka is a term meant to be derogatory and offensive towards a certain group of people. Racism. It's the same thing as using the N word.

Do you know what cracker even refers to? Hint, it's not something you have with soup.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Laughing at anyone who thought that "apology" was sincere

I didn't even knew this gu before all the threads about him started to appear here.

Maybe this is what he wants? Clicks = Money in Youtube, right?

Yeah, he's a total unknown outside of Gaf

 

[De_Legend]

The rape jokes years ago was a giving imo.

Not surprised, rot in hell.

 

[pr0cs]

The fact that people are saying only black people should use that word blows my mind. No one should use it ever if they want to be taken seriously about anything.

 

[rucury]

Oh they said something alright...

Damn, how thick you gotta be to say "it's not like we just watched him... do an act of racism" in this context.

then what the fuck did you just watch? lmao these idiots need him to burn a black guy at the cross before they even start to consider him a racist.
