    I’ve never seen piewdiepie before his Linux journey. What did he do and what consequences does he deserve?

      He did/said a bunch of racist shit in videos/streams.

      In 2019 someone livestreamed themself committing a hate-crime/mass shooting, killing 51 Muslim people in New Zealand. The shooter began his livestream with “subscribe to Pewdiepie!”

      That seemed to be a rude awakening for Pewdiepie, and I believe that he’s stopped with the racist shit.

        What racist things did Pewdiepie do/ say himself though? I don’t think it’s fair to attribute someone using his name to commit terrorism to him.

        Similarly the guy who shot trump was wearing a demolitionranch shirt.

          He’d use the N-word, and make “jokes” like paying people to make a sign that said “death to all Jews”.

          I assume that he was trying to be edgy, but it was a little too far.

        Someone also defaced a holocaust memorial, but that just tangential, he was an integral part of the alt-right pipeline radicalizing normies
