Well, he is in the crosshairs now.
I'm sure they won't be as easy on him if he lays any serious derogatory terms again.

Yea I can tell
This is largely why I rolled my eyes in the previous topic because it seems like people were unaware that directing the deserved rage at his racism hasn't stopped him before, and all it's doing for him is giving his channel unwarranted traffic. What has to be happening in the long run is to starve him of any attention at all. (Which isn't to say that's easy, but it's ultimately what shuts down personalities)

The word just rolls off his tongue. Racist will always be racist.
Of course we haven't experienced any hate as white people a hundredth of what other races experience (Fecking hell there's very few minorities in my country so I know nothing) I just find it hypocritical to use slurs in a thread where we are condemning derogatory slurs lol
Edit: holy shit I mean condemning not condoning

He's aware he can get away with it by now, with full support from his fans.
Sad.

Nah, you don't ignore stuff like this.

I was definitely one of the ones willing to say "It was a really, really shitty slip-up of his offline persona"... but yeah, this just isn't funny anymore...
lol, in that case, yes, I agree. x)

fuck this piece of shit and all his dickhead defenders. they can all go to hell tbh.
Bully for you.
Haaaaate this gif, it grates my soul
Unfortunately people actually believe this.
Exactly. All ignoring does is allow it to fester. Keep up the coverage then there's more chances that advertisers pull out due to nothing being done about the biggest star on the site being openly racist
Ignoring racism is not the answer. In fact, bringing attention to this issue was exactly what got him into trouble on the first place and ended up having companies start pulling their funding and ads from YouTubers.

Does that displease you? Doesn't mean I'm willing to defend PDP.

He's two strikes away before his channel gets taken down, right?

He's largely put out trash since the beginning of rape jokes and screaming incessantly. But hey you say that a year ago and get called a salty jealous hater on here. It's worse now although as others have mentioned you don't just start screaming racist obscenities, he's probably been hiding it as best he could just dying to get the real him out there.....
and now it is. a total fucking douche.
all kinds of threads but especially these have taught me that my own child
1. will never have a computer in their private bedroom (to be used in private without supervision I mean)
2. will not have a locked or otherwise private/hidden social account
3. will not play games online without some basic oversight (sad you would think something like twitch would be a good hobby for a girl to make a bit of money if she was so inclined but nope its a shithole).

You missed Vipu Gaming Side
Knowing how big he is it wouldnt be surprising if he has extra leeway
He has 50 million subscribers, how do you propose starving him of attention?
I'm not convinced they do. I'm pretty certain that Boogie doesn't even believe that smokescreen.
It's the gun control counter "We need a few weeks of mourning before talking of fixing it. Whoops! Happened again! Reset the clock."
People are getting gunned down in the streets and their murderers are getting paid vacations for it.
Believe it or not, situations like these are the foundation for such occurrences.
Apathy is the same as enabling.
Lmao right, just basically telling us to shut up for no good reason

I mean, you can't be neutral on the subject of racism because you are one or not, or you support it or don't.

Hm, I don't know if it works that way. Was the Firewatch thing an actual takedown with a strike? And aren't those Let's Plays mostly split in multiple videos already, making it more strikes then?
No. Youtube (and Google in general) has proven time and time again they are OK with people pushing racism and other disgusting stuff through their channels.

Well, catching yourself before saying shit like that is better than nothing, which is where he was at before.
The dude isn't going anywhere anytime soon and his influence is only growing. The more self-aware he is about the words and language he uses the better.
Hopefully he continues to be aware and works to remove that shit from his vocabulary entirely.

What if people don't care about it or if a person ignores it completely. Which category do they fall in?
AFAIK, he only did a single video which is what they DMCA'ed. If so then that would only be one strike
Being complicit is being in support of it
How, exactly, is a thread about him using racial slurs giving his channel traffic?

I feel the amount of "ink" wasted here could have been better spent asking what's up.
If you don't care, don't post.
And he's back again. For the fourth time.
There are, what, 0.6 million users on GAF? Versus 57 million subscribers Pewdiepie has on YouTube?
Everyone on GAF should just stop posting on Pewdiepie threads and watching his videos. When he's lost 1% of his revenue he'll have a change of heart.

Think pewdiepie said so in his copyright video.
"There's no way Trump makes it past this controversy!"
Unless someone mounts a well-orchestrated campaign to DMCA him straight to hell or something else that directly strikes at a revenue stream in some way, nothing will change. People love supporting trash. He's not just going to wither away and disappear because he's a relentless piece of shit. That's not how real life works unfortunately.
