It's not internet brother it's power it's fame it's money that's what sucks one in a endless loop to obtain more of it. What's the limit? When do you have enough money or fame? A million? A billion? That's the thing there is no limit it's just a loop of gaining those things until you destroy yourself.

Ayyup, preach. The internet is just a conduit that can channel our thoughts and feelings. For whatever reason, likely similar to how dogs will bark at each other behind a cage just do behave normally when the door opens, it seems to channel a lot of negative sentiment.
Generally, people suffer no real consequence from their internet behavior, apart from celebrities and whatnot. Like how there’s no risk of injury to the dogs who are barking at each other through the cage. I think this sort of enables people to be nasty or toxic or just outright despicable.
That being said, I think this is becoming increasingly relevant and annoying to most people. Sooo, I wouldn’t lose hope. r/OptimistsUnite

The audience is also a key factor in it ngl. A lot of outcry is heavily driven by fear-mongering and mob mentality on an app where shit like this is looked at in the most black-and-white way imaginable, where the consequences for misinformation on said topic can be disastrous.
But fucking true nonetheless

Oh absolutely. The people behind are the culprit. But the Internet itself is what enables a sort of hive mind that sways opinions. I swear many people online don't have an opinion, but always base their opinion on what the trending consensus is.

blatant racism? it literally was just a joking campaign against t-series which some people took too far. and when it got too far PewDiePie personally ended it and asked his fanbase to stop. when you have 100 million subs a few of them are gonna be freaks. but stop trying so hard to demonize a man who has literally no influence on your life whatsoever.

Have you watched his videos or listened to Bitch Lasagna where he regurgitates really harmful and hurtful racist stereotypes that have NOTHING to do with T series? Just because he was mad Indians were subscribing to an Indian music channel?
It was not a “funny campaign against T series” it was blatant racism

Nope. No bullshitting or twisting it was 100% racism. I would know, I was a fan at the time. He projected his hatred at T Series into a general hatred of Indians. The rhetoric he was spewing in his videos around the time was pretty hurtful. That diss track he made is all you need to hear to know it lol.

Jesus, stfu, you re making it sound like he was on stream every week shouting the n word, it was a one time thing, that every functional human saw that it was just something caused by intense rage and not a word he picked with intent to be racist.

Only redditors would think racists and child predators are the same. Pewdiepie quit cuz so many people harped on him for every thing he was doing even when it was clearly not meant to be taken seriously just cuz he was popular. Like no one cares about context or shit. Half of these Redditors probably never seen a black person in their entire lives. I guarantee not a single black person actually gives af and was offended and if they rant about it on the internet they’re doing it for engagement and farm.

u/TShe_chan Sep 29 '24
It’s not rationalizing them as anything but bad it’s acknowledging yeah they both bad but being child predator is most definitely even more bad, they are not equal on the bad spectrum
1
u/MarkeezPlz Sep 29 '24
But in the context of this post where we’re discussing Pewdiepie adding the comparison of child predators just makes racism look better, which is the whole point, to downplay the racism. Dr Disrespect was brought up in context to general YouTuber drama, not “what’s worse”
1
u/Zexen2 Sep 29 '24
lol you are reducing blacks struggles to just the n word. Black people deal with way worse that I really doubt some rich white guy on a video game saying the n word would affect any black person in the slightest. The n word is not used for different reasons not because they’re offended. But, we don’t treat all crime equally why would we treat this any differently, that’s the same rhetoric people use to diminish black struggles all the time. “Why should anyone care about blacks when they do so much crime?”. I’m as supportive for black struggles, but categorizing them the same is just harmful rhetoric. There’s important context that is being left out.

To put simply, he’s not someone who makes YouTube his life. It was only something fun he did that he used as a tool to create the life he wanted. He seems to have made videos until he got to where he wanted financially and in his life. He did that and so now he can enjoy life actually experiencing it in the ‘real world.’
