    Funny how the comments in this thread went from “haha he’s degoogling on YouTube?” to “do you believe in rehabilitation?” - “HE’S A NAZI!!!”.

    It truly feels like back in the good old Reddit days. You either get popcorn or your pitchfork. There’s nothing in-between.

      he brought it on himself by accidentally naziing several times, even while he ostensibly apologized after he got called out for it.

      he has had a hand in normalizing this shit we’re in today and people are right to be angry at him. especially since his alleged rehabilitation has been as quiet as his nazi winks and nods were loud.

      i do believe in rehabilitation, but i think for someone his size you can’t just do it quietly. you have to be against it and try to right your wrongs. that’s what hunter avallone did for example, and he’s significantly smaller than pewdiepie.

      pewdiepie’s damage was much more consequential and he has a responsibility to do more than not casually naziing anymore.

        What did this “quiet rehabilitation” even entail? Did he actually take responsibility for the dogwhistles?

    some people in here are apparently perfect and don’t believe others can grow and learn from their mistakes. what a childish self-centered perspective.

      I’m willing to believe he might have learned from his mistakes, but he was 27 when he did the most egregious things. More than old enough to know better. The older you are when you do stupid shit, the harder it will be for people to forgive you.

      Yes let him remove his source of income in order to be the most rightous!!! It’s respectable that he’s doing it as much as he can
