really not a fan of the linux community welcoming pewdiepie aka, "the 'i was making edgy content pandering to the far right before making two indian guys write death to all jews on a sign (but don't worry it was a joke), before recommending books from jordan peterson and later platforming ben shapiro on my show while i kept dog-whistling to nazis to the point where a nazi shooter name dropped me live during his rampage, all before having a a 'gamer' moment and calling another player the n-word on a stream but i did nothing wrong guys, it's just the mainstream media that want to take me down because they hate youtubers'" man with such open arms.
hey, I'm all for redemption and people turning around and saying: yeah, i was an asshole and i did awful things. i grew up in a far right family, you bet your ass i said and thought fucked up things. but a, i didn't push far right propaganda to an audience the size of a fucking small country, and b, i own it, i recognize my former bullshit and i'm actively trying to do better. did he ever recognize that? did he ever made a change? did he ever apologized or recognized that maybe platforming people like ben shapiro to his tens of millions of subscribers was a shitty thing to do?
but then again, the linux community? having a far right problem?! noooo, couldn't be!
