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?

      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.

        You will find two major incidents. The bridge incident where he said the n-word in PUBG and a edgy joke where he tried to see how far Fiverr creators would go and asked for a video of people to write “Hitler did nothing wrong” on a sign. He apologized and condemned the behavior for both.

        To me it seems like the source of a lot of the negative quick opinions come from a bad article WSJ did on him.

          He’s also promoted the books of fascist talking heads like Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, and Steven Crowder through his book club.

          There’s a reason the Christ Church shooter yelled “Subscribe to PewDiePie” besides being a topical meme.
