Excuses like this have always blown my mind. No one in America (especially black people) are running around and saying "nigger" all of the time. It's not a thing that happens in objective reality. "Nigga" is said more frequently, but even then it's not said by everyone (not even all black people).
"Nigga" != "Nigger" and PDP made sure to emphasize the hard-R. It's weird to me that you seem to be able to distinguish the difference between "to" and "too" in your post ("it's" and "its" is a different story), but somehow you just can't accept that a word used by racists to say racist things is different than a word used by members of the black community (not everyone)
They use the word in Europe too . Where they had colonies for centuries. It's not just American history you would have to be beyond ignorant to not know.
Definitely not. At least, not from what I've heard.People in Europe just casually use the n word with the hard er?
What the fuck.
Pewdiepie should get banned from Twitch or Youtube or however he streams. I don't think companies should be allowed to dictate which content creators get to use their products.
What a prick.
For what it's worth, I reported his channel for hate speech.
edit: At least I tried to. YouTube needs a specific video to said hate speech and he didn't do that on YouTube. Fuck.
They don't want their game associated with a racist piece of human garbage.
It's definitely not a "both sides" situation. The only racist here is PDP. And Campo Santo's intentions are 100% good. I just worry about it setting precedent for other publishers with less than noble intentions. Last thing we want is a situation where a company like WB gets to determine who's allowed to review their games on YT based on who's been favorable to them in the past.

My roommate loves Pewds...he probably won't care smh.
Well it kind of is. From London to Moscow people use that word. Black people too. And looking at how its being thrown around among black people in America, no wonder people think its acceptable. PDP should know better and all his streams should be a scripted preformance.... ugh cant wait until the FCC gets control over streaming. Yes its wrong, no he should not have used it but its so common it will continue to be said on streams until its regulated. With regulation many other words will be banned and soon you cant see or say anything remotly offensive on a stream anymore.
I'm fully on the "fuck him" train but you can somewhat excuse the lack of ability to distinguish the two forms by him being a non-native English speaker.

People in the southern united states do too
Either form is unacceptable for him to useI'm fully on the "fuck him" train but you can somewhat excuse the lack of ability to distinguish the two forms by him being a non-native English speaker.

Good because even here in The Netherlands calling someone who is black, colored or even foreign looking a "neger" won't sit well with many of them. Hell, I've been called a neger here and there and I'm part italian. It just doesn't make any sense at all.As a fellow Dutchman I kind of understands what he means but no I don't agree.
Pewdiepie should get banned from Twitch or Youtube or however he streams, but I hope the CS DMCA request fails. I don't think companies should be allowed to dictate which content creators get to use their products.
He's European and was born in a low social class and thus has no concept of race. If you really sit down and think about it, the concept of racism is really a first world American privilege.

Barely heard it in the UK but then I'm white and not a piece of shit so the occasions are slim.People in Europe just casually use the n word with the hard er?

What makes it even worse, way worse in fact is how he used it. A white person saying something like "wassup n***a" is wrong, nasty and needs to be adressed. But this was straight up with a hard R and also as a pure insult. Straight up calling someone black as a way of saying that person is bad, and ALSO doing it with the worst possible and rightfully taboo word. I'm at a loss.
someone else mentioned 'people in the eu dont know the diff!??!'Nigger does not equal nigga
I'd fucking hope soThose who do get called out on it.
It takes a measure of courage to admit a change of heart so I mean this with full sincerity: thanks for this post
One of the things that's become apparent over the last few years, starting with Gamergate and through to the election, is how deeply unhealthy it is to grow up in online environments so ruled by irony that nothing said has meaning. It just destroys empathy and twists you into something gross and incapable of functioning in a world where words do have consequences (for the most part).Or maybe we can build a society where children are taught from a young age that words have meaning and impact.
Or we build a society where people don't "want" to say those words.
But he used it as an insult and later switched it out for "asshole". So what's the difference which "version" he actually meant to say?I'm fully on the "fuck him" train but you can somewhat excuse the lack of ability to distinguish the two forms by him being a non-native English speaker.

I live in the south. I'm black so obviously my experience will be different, but nobody says"nigger" casually like that.
Yep every time I leave my house people come up to me saying "hello nigger" and I smile and wave to them, thanking them for being kind enough to aknowledge my existence.People in Europe just casually use the n word with the hard er?
What the fuck.
IT STILL REFERS TO BLACK PEOPLE NO MATTER WHAT LANGUAGE YOU SPEAK.
Jesus Fucking Christ.
At the end of the got damn day, he called called somebody a word that means BLACK people and then immediately switched it out to ASSHOLE.
Regardless if nigger is used as a slur in whatever fucking country you live in, he still used a word meant to refer to BLACK people in place of asshole. Stop being so fucking dense.
Why the hell would a white person ever use either version, especially in that context. That excuse is horrible.I'm fully on the "fuck him" train but you can somewhat excuse the lack of ability to distinguish the two forms by him being a non-native English speaker.
There would be very few greater moral uses of DMCA takedowns than not allowing racists to propagate their success.Fuck no, this could set a nasty precedent for DMCA abuse.
