He might not be anti-semitic, but his stunt was. It wasn't even clever like those other jokes, and certainly doesn't need an army of white knight trump twats defending him because a couple sponsors pulled out.

Obligatory :olo: @ the straight white male telling historically oppressed minorities what should upset them.

It was ironic comedy, like those other jokes. Satire if you will, some are worse than others but shouldn't have people branded a racist because some got butthurt over something that was meaningless. Those who do get offended are being little bitches and if his actions were anti semitic then those of Jimmy, Regi Hunter and Jim Jefferies are too.

I'm Welsh, btw, a historically oppressed minority :)

Jews are white too, so where's their white privilege ?

shaft, I'm not saying PewDiePie's actions were in good taste, but if you see how this story was framed then it's blatantly clear that this isn't about anti-semitism.

I honestly don't give a shit or know anything about him. I didn't follow the story. I read he had someone stand there with a sign and that he had done similar (anti-semitic) stunts in the past.
I stand by my comment that this type of shit doesn't need defending.

Ahh, so that's what Trump was referring to with his "Sweden" remark! It's the PewDiePie scandal!

(He's Swedish, for who hadn't caught on yet)

OMG, look at that! Shaft is an anti-semite. He hates jews! I got the proof right here. He clearly said he wishes death upon all jews. It's undeniable that he posted such a thing. That shit doesn't need defending.

Context is everything, censoring words or phrases is fucking retarded and getting offended by them, even more so. Cartman in South Park is constantly Jew bashing in a similiar way to him.

The guy is a knobend, end of, he deserved to lose followers for nothing more than that but the treatment he's getting, like being branded a racist and having the internet bandwagon on political correctness is dumb as shit.

It's like the rape arguement we had, it's like the slightest mention of a word or phrase triggers someone into PC warrior. It restricts discussion and creates divides. People can say racist things without being a racist, just like people can be a racist without saying racist things.

It's the exact reason Regi Hunter in the video was talking about the legality of denying the holocaust.

Then you can't say racist things without some typical triggered response, it's forcing people into censorship, if he's not racist as you acknowledged then the sign is meaningless and obviously satirical. He was also proving a point, that you can pay people to do anything, I've never watched a vid of his but I know the guy uses offense to make a stand, prove a point or create a joke. Film, games, comedians and TV have done far worse yet this has gathered some traction in the mainstream and now everyone wants to be part of the bandwagon.

Kinda like how this guy was branded a womeniser cos he selected the wrong shirt -

Like I said, if you're offended by it then you're being a little bitch and is nothing more than a whine. You have the right to unsubscribe without criticism if you don't like it - cos he was a bit of a knob, but the the media furor surrounding it is nothing more than a hitpiece.

Lindsay Lohan got racially [s]triggered[/s] profiled:
Lindsay Lohan, the actor best known for her roles in films such as Mean Girls, has said she was “racially profiled” at Heathrow airport recently.

Speaking on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, Lohan, 30, said she was requested to remove her headscarf by security staff queuing for a flight to New York, having lately returned from Turkey.

“I was wearing a headscarf and I got stopped at the airport and racially profiled for the first time in my life,” she said. “She opened my passport and saw ‘Lindsay Lohan’ and started immediately apologising but then said, ‘Please take off your head scarf.’”

Frankly, the only racial profiling that happened there was that the airport staff started apologizing for doing their job after figuring out that it was a wealthy, white American woman they were dealing with.
