PewDiePie made a video on why he installed Linux and explained why everyone should do it too. Due to his number of followers, this might be the year of the Linux Desktop? Hooray?
Nazi YouTubers fuck off.
What did pewdiepie do? Not defending him, I dont follow him at all, and I am just wondering.
So I read up on it again very briefly because that was ages ago but: The story goes in 2017 he paid an Israeli on Fiverr to dress as Jesus and hold a sign declaring that Hitler did nothing wrong. I have not seen the video so I don’t know for sure, but apparently he wanted to show how far you can take things with Fiverr without any resistance from Freelancers.
I think he did something very wrong to shock his audience for clicks similar to Logan Paul’s disgusting Suicide Forest stunt around that same time and he got a ton of criticism for it. I don’t know what happened afterwards because I’m really not in that bubble but I don’t think a video likes this makes someone a Nazi and the comment above is a bit of a Fediverse knee-jerk reaction to this kind of stuff. I understand why people would still despise him for that though.
He said the n word a few (maybe even several, by now) years ago. Idk if that makes him a nazi but maybe he did something else I haven’t heard of

Can we reserve that word for actual Nazis that want to commit genocide, not edgy 15-year old like personalities?
What he did with the sign was arguably very cringe, but it’s pathetic to compare that to someone who actually believes X group of people deserve to die.
If we label everyone a Nazi, the word means nothing and when actual Nazis show up(they are) we’re fucked.
I can see some ytbers be nazis, but not him. I know he said the n word, and even if he maybe had some alt right or similar views back in the day, but he is a genuinely good ytber nowadays imo
