Vlogger embraced by far right apologizes

Since when was PewDiePie a far right paragon

He's just an annoying twerp

And, now that I think about it, probably far-right

Didn't the ADL cheer on Disney dropping PDP a few years ago?

It makes sense he wouldn't donate to an organization that hates him.

Yeah, definitely suspicious that he opted out of the donation because the alt-right scum bitched about it.

Idk what to think of this guy anymore. Yesterday I was happy to hear he was trying to make amends and showed remorse, but then immediately walked that shit back because his alt-right fans didn't take kindly to his gesture. Plus the ADL say they never heard from him about the donation and only know what he revealed in the vid, so this could be a stunt.

End of the day, I still hate PDP fans and the guy himself is just eeeeeh

I've looked into this claim. It's true, but it was something he never actually meant to happen. He just wanted to say something so horrible that they would reject it, but they barely even understood what they were told to write, and pdp clearly did not expect that result.

I'll go out on a limb and say that his alt right fanbase does come from this stunt and his using a racial slur in an angry outburst at a videogame, but it's incidental.

Hell, why even call it alt right, though? What lack of overlap is there? On the venn diagram, I see only one circle.

He's like the biggest YouTuber on the platform. I'm sure he could afford to lost people who would unsubscribe (probably temporarily) over a donation.

But hey this is probably yet another 'accidental' publicity stunt to keep him in the headlines.

but then why did he feature it in his video? if he didn't want to associate himself with the phrase 'death to jews" he probably shouldn't have included that segment in his youtube video where he has the power to edit and remove things he doesn't like.

I've never seen a comment outside of /pol/ make this about anti-semitsim. The biggest things people had against this were that this group has targeted him in the past and the shady things they've done.

In what way is this shady, exactly? I understand if you're against circumcision, but this is a people for whom circumcision is important, and so they're speaking out against it being banned.

You can disagree with their position, but what makes it shady? They're not hiding anything. Their incentive is clear as day.

Looking into some of the controversies the ADL has been involved in (refusing to acknowledge the Armenian genocide for what it was; a Genocide, being one of them), I can see why someone wouldnt want to donate to them.

But that decision should probably be made before deciding to announce a donation

He could've easily censored it and just react to it. He didn't. He knows his audience is mostly 13 year olds.

Are some people ITT just ignoring all the controversies that surround ADL just to shit on Pewdiepie? Even ResetERA, of all places, can point out that donating to ADL isn't a good idea at all. No, it's not a publicity stunt, either. Pewdiepie has been in the headlines currently due to his marriage and hitting the new sub count. Come on people, use your brains.

He was advised to donate to the ADL and he just basically said fuck it sure based on his response
