In Kjellbergs most recent edition of Pew News, a semi-satirical series where Kjellberg offers his own take on news events or YouTube cultural discussions, he dedicates the last portion of the video to shouting out smaller YouTube creators he enjoys watching. One of those creators is E;R (otherwise known as EsemicolonR), an essayist who often includes anti-Semitic, sexist, homophobic, and cruel language in his videos.

You also have E;R, who does great video essays, Kjellberg says in the video. He did one on Death Note, which I really, really enjoyed."

Kjellbergs E;R shoutout didnt go unnoticed by those in the YouTube community. Hasan Piker, a host on The Young Turks YouTube channel, tweeted out his concerns over Kjellberg bringing newfound attention to E;Rs channel. Piker noted that even if Kjellberg hadnt seen most of E;Rs videos, understanding the responsibility that comes with shouting out a channel is crucial to someone of Kjellbergs stature. Therefore, not being aware of these videos or being aware and moving along with a moment of praise is irresponsible

The thing that confuses me is that he's friends with actual decent Youtubers, like Markiplier and Jacksepticeye, who go out of their way to defend him.

What the hell do these guys see in him?

This. I dont enjoy pewdiepie content but the way the article is written really takes it way outbof context. The good i see from this is at least Felix will make more of an effort to look through youtubers content before giving a shoutout.

HE endorsed a video that had literal racist things in it. They even had got damn joke about Heather Heyer, in the review that he said he liked so much. The lady who was killed by one of his Nazi friends.

Edited to add: People are still defending this guy . What does he have to do for you people to say he is a bigot . Call for the deaths of Jewish people..oh he did that. Call people the N word.. Oh he already did that. This guy could burn a damn cross on someone lawn and you will still defend him.

I just looked at this E;R channel, and going by topic titles and thumbnails (which is likely what PewDiePie did, if he even looked at all), you can't tell there's any kind of anti-Semitic content. It's like the people who expect you to do a background search on every person you retweet or else you support all their political views just because you retweeted a funny picture of a dog that they posted.

Also The Young Turks should not be a source in anything, ever.

Yeah most good people don't have to feign outrage when it comes to calling out this racist asshole, who has a long history of doing racist shit. And in this case he literally said he liked a video where someone made jokes about women killed by a Neo-Nazi. How the fuck is that an accident . You boy said he liked the video. and gave it endorsement .

I'm not watching a 40 minute video of a show I don't know or care about, so I went to the comments and there are a TON of people asking where the nazi jokes are because no one could find it. A few people linked to a spot near the end. I guess it was this Heather person you keep bringing up and a 3 second clip of Charlottesville, and I only know this because a single person said so in the pages of comments I scrolled through. If they didn't say it, I would have never known what the joke was or what the footage was.

I live in the US and I don't even know the story of Heather or recognized the footage of Charlottesville. I can't imagine a guy in Sweden would pick up on any of that. So when you say "a video that is vile" are you talking about this 2 sentence and 10 second long joke at the end of a 40 minute video? Does a single joke make this whole video "vile"? And do you expect a foreigner to pick up on that reference at all?

And I don't watch his videos so don't bother saying I'm a fanboy that will defend anything he does.

He gave a shout out to approximately 20 different small channels. He didn't know about this one channel's antisemitic rhetoric. He also took out this channel from the video once he was notified of the guy's gab account and references to Nazis in videos he hadn't watched. This whole issue is blowing up for no reason.

Just like a foreigner shouldn't know you shouldn't call people the N word ?
Or like a Foreigner shouldn't under stand not to pay people to make jokes about killing jewish people.
Literal Neo-Nazis have thanked him for getting their ideas to the mind stream. (even before this )

Maybe if he wants to gain the financial privileges of being the biggest channel on YouTube he should vet the fucking channels he recommends? Seems like the bare minimum to ask

Ah yes, he should scour the internet for the gab account of the guy to see if he ever said anything antisemitic. Funny enough the people that are pushing this story have said things on Twitter just as bad, if not worse, than the guy with the antisemitic opinions. Pewdiepie also had just raised over 150k for an Indian charity and the purpose of his shout out was to get people to stop subbing to him and give smaller creators attention. The first wasn't really reported on and the second is being sold as a bad thing because of one account in the list.
0ch
Also, a lot of people have an opinion without even seeing the video in question. This isn't Logan Paul v2.

Nah, it was mostly what the guy said on gab that people were upset about. The jokes in his video aligned with those things to make them antisemitic opinions instead of stupid jokes.
