So, I’ve watched your ‘My Response’ video. I have to say that when you teared up, my heart broke. I’m sorry that you are being attacked like this and from your videos, we can see how this issue has been going on for quite some time. Years in fact. I don’t know why there are people out there who seems like they’re holding some sort of grudge towards you. Now they pushed it to an extent where your show got cancelled (THIS PISSED ME OFF SO MUCH), the contract got severed, and people labelled you as anti-semantic. I mean, yes, i have to say here that the joke went a bit too far but for the media to take things out of context is downright unfair from the way i see it.
You contribute a lot more than you did any harm. Why is that not in the spotlight? Push charities aside, you saved so many lives out there as PewDiePie ( @pewdie ). You made our days better, you made us laugh, you helped some of us walk through difficult lives and situations. That is what the media needs to shine their spotlight on!
Despite all these bullshit, I just want you to know that there are still many of us bros that stands with you, supporting you. Yes, we made fun of you, your hair, calling you names, calling you the Kazoo kid, sassing you, teasing you and all that but in the end, we still love you. You did so much for us. Now, we will be the one that will held your hands and we will walk with you through this.
p/s: Be careful with your jokes next time buddy. Don’t push the boundaries too far.
Ok, so, basically, Scare Pewdiepie Season 2 is being cancelled because of “Pewdiepie putting antisemitic stuff on some of his videos”. And let me tell you why this is pure bullsh*t…
First off, I acknowledge that asking two poor people from Sri-lanka to hold a sign saying “Death to all Jews” was a little bit too far. HOWEVER, the backlash Felix is getting is absolute horsec*ck!
Secondly, Felix’s humor is, and has always been based on satire and sarcasm. Anyone who doesn’t understand or agree with that type of humor should not have anything to do with Felix’s content.
The mere definition of satire involves the use of something apparently known by too few people: irony. To those ignorants, irony is the use of something, like a political stance, a phrase, an opinion, to actually mean the opposite, often in a comedic way (ex: “No, please, keep talking, you’re not boring me at all…”). When used blatantly, it is often seen as sarcasm.
Satire, however, is a little bit more intricate, in the sense that it involves “acting” like a certain group of people in a ridicule way to mock their opinion or political stance (ex: people imitating the voice of Donald Trump, saying things like “I want to deport Mexicans”, or when you mimic your teacher to make your friends laugh). Everyone does it, and it often involves exaggerating the imitation. When used in a casual way, it usually ends up pretty clearly. But when used in a “professional” way (and by that, I mean, entertainment in a large scale), it keeps going for the whole video. But it is, still, humor, and fake!
I sometimes joke with my friends about Nazis, jokingly doing a Nazi salute, imitating the all too famous “Nein, nein, NEIN!!” from Downfall, or even saying racist stuff in a strong, cliché, German accent (it IS cliché… I live near Germany, the German accent sounds in no way like the one they do in movies). It doesn’t mean I think this stuff! On the contrary, I find it absolutely ridiculous that some people had the same idea, and even more that some still do! And that is exactly what Felix is doing, using satire, just on a more grand scale!
If someone were to come to me and say “Death to all Jews” in a serious manner, I would laugh at its face! And not only because I think it’s ridiculous, but because those kind of people WANT to be taken seriously, WANT people to be afraid of them, which leads me to my last point.
If you try to silence Pewdiepie, the message you’re sending is basically “It’s not okay to joke about this ideology, it’s not okay to ridicule it, it’s a serious matter”. You’re giving those dumb*sses the credibility they lost! You’re saying “They’re still a threat, they are not a laughing matter”. It’s part of a bigger problem nowadays, because it seems like medias are actively trying to bring back racism by putting it sometimes petty actions on front pages, going “look, this is what some people do, fear them!!”. You’re not silencing them! You’re giving them a voice, a platform in which to speak their moronic opinions in a serious manner! And as much as I respect free speech, that should never be the case for such hateful ideologies.
Anyway, that’s all for my rant, that no-one will ever see or read fully…
@pewdie, I support you fully, even though I don’t agree with you all the time, or laugh at all your jokes. You went a bit far, you apologized, the video was taken down, it should have been the end of it. But medias are leeches, and humorless imbeciles are everywhere.
And to all the idiots still thinking Felix deserves this, go eat cabbage (I hate cabbage).
*screams* PEWDIEPIE ISN’T ANTI-SEMITE HE MADE A STUPID JOKE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE COMMENTARY ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE WILL DO FOR MONEY THE HUMOR HE IS USING IS CALLED SATIRE AND IT IS NOT FOR EVERYONE BUT IT IS A VALID TYPE OF HUMOR FELIX IS A PERSON WHO MAKES DUMB DECISIONS JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE AND YEAH MAYBE HE DESERVES A BIT OF A KICK IN THE ASS FOR THIS DUMB JOKE BUT HE’S NOT RACIST NOR IS HE A BAD PERSON AND HE DOESN’T DESERVE THIS SMEAR CAMPAIGN
I. Cannot. BELIEVE. This! I just found out that “Scare Pewdiepie Season 2” is canceled and I am just OUTRAGED.
Yesterday, there was a story about Pewds on the news where they said some horrible things about him. Nobody ever looks at the GOOD things he does. They only look at his mistakes. They don’t mention the money he raised for charity, they don’t mention the 53 MILLION people who love him and who’s lives he changed. They only care about the stupid things he did. I’m not denying the fact that he has made mistakes. I am well aware of those mistakes. But he also apologized. Nobody talks about his apology.
So much effort and so many resources were put into the show. Felix nearly lost his mind in the process of making the season.
There were so many guests who went out of their ways to take part in the show. From different continents even!
We were all waiting for it (even though I couldn’t watch it anyways because YouTube Red doesn’t work here), I saw how excited Felix was and how happy he was after it was over. The cancelation of the show annoys me so much because the people who canceled it were willing to ignore the blood, sweat and tears that went into the show, (and into everything else that Felix does), and just ruin everything. I know I don’t know what happened behind the scenes and everything, but I just can’t ignore the INJUSTICE that is happening before my eyes and say nothing.
You, the person reading this, let’s join forces and try to change their minds. Peacefully. @pewdie @therealjacksepticeye
So I just found out why YouTube did what they did the reason is because pewdiepie on his channel posted Hitler Anthoms he paid 2 guys in India to hold up signs saying Jews deserve to die and he also did a couple more horrendous things I was so disappointed in him because I had been there since the beginning so I understand it might be a shock but it is true thwart is why YouTube did what they did
I’m very well aware of what Felix did. However, what other people seem to not understand is that they were these little things called jokes. You see, some people have trouble understanding this concept.
On top of that, there is this thing called “context”. For example, the context behind his actions on Fiverr was: “People will do terrible things for as little as $5″. He also apologized and owned up to his actions. Every time Felix has been called out for something he’s owned up to it and admitted his fault. Why? Because he recognizes that things sometimes go too far.
Here’s why I’m so pissed about this: Everyone and their mother knows how much time, energy, and money was spent by not only him, but his friends as well, in the making of the season 2 of Scare PewDiePie. This whole thing is not only screwing him over, but also the people who were in it. (Ex.: Mark, Jack, etc.)
YouTube is only pulling this because they’re afraid of people who make it an occupation to be offended for others. (Ethan from h3h3 touched on the topic in this video.)
Anyways, I’m sure this didn’t really make a difference to you, but I felt the need to explain this. What people seem to forget is that Felix is more than just pixels on a screen; he is a human being. No one is perfect. Are some imperfections bigger than others? Absolutely. That doesn’t mean he deserves to have his right to create taken from him.
NOBODY IS ALLOWED TO MAKE JOKES. WE ALL SIT DOWN AND DO NOTHING ALL OF THE TIME. ANY SERIOUS EVENTS TO HAPPEN ARE COMPLETELY SERIOUS. NO JOKING ABOUT ANYTHING! WE CAN ONLY LAUGH AT FUNNY TUMBLR PUNS.
White female leads in movies are not at all groundbreaking.
White women need to stop this lie. Yall have been included in, and have been starring in everything since the beginning of cinema.
Call me when Native American women and men are featured as stars in TV shows and movies.
Call me when we see Western Asian people portrayed as anything other than terrorists.
Call me when we see East Asian women playing roles that aren’t Dragon Lady, China Doll and Tiger Mom speaking broken Engrish.
Call me when Asian men are romantic leads PERIOD.
Call me when Latin@ folks aren’t maids, gardeners, thugs or spicy Latin lovers.
Call me when we actually see Black women getting to show the fuck up in science fiction and fantasy as leads as BLACK WOMEN and not painted or cgi aliens.
White women on the screen are not groundbreaking. Yall are the status quo.
Bringing this back because they would literally spend millions to make technology to make a white woman “look Asian” than actually hire Japanese actors to play the fucking part of a Japanese person.
White women leads are NOT REVOLUTIONARY. They are just as complicit in white supremacy as white men.
