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?
Uh oh, brace for the hordes of people complaining that some anticheat game doesn’t work on Linux and therefore the whole thing sucks.
“Linux Mint hides the terminal”
*immediately opens terminal to demonstrate*
Screw that guy.
Exactly…what a fucking ----
Racist
At least for me its not important what kind of person he is.
I quite like that a very influental person in the gaming sphere promotes linux gaming.
Because more users means more content and supportI don’t know what to say except I’m sorry you’re ok with that kind of behavior.
They didn’t say they’re okay with their behavior, they said they appreciate promoting Linux, because more people using Linux is a good thing for all Linux users.
I fail to see how welcoming Nazis like him benefits the Linux community
Two things:
- who’s welcoming him? I’ve only seen excitement about what his video might mean for Linux adoption. I don’t think anyone is saying he should be a spokesman or anything.
- I don’t see evidence of him being a Nazi, I only see evidence of him being an immature streamer; then again, I’ve probably only watched a total of like 2 min of his content because I don’t like his style
I don’t care about him enough to look further, I only care that he has a sizeable audience and is saying positive things about Linux. That’s exciting, because that could push Linux adoption a bit higher. That’s literally the extent of how much I care about him. I’m also worried we could get net negative press if people have trouble with it, but either way it’s exciting.
The same goes for literally any influential person talking about Linux. I don’t like LTT, but I was excited about the handful of Linux videos they apparently made. Maybe there are others, idk, I don’t watch most of the popular streamers.
didn’t know making Nazi jokes and saying the n word as a grown man is immature. curious how easily white men get infantilized so they can avoid accountability
It certainly is when not saying such things seriously. Pushing the boundaries of what’s acceptable is very common in gamer circles and is incredibly immature.
And age has little to do with maturity, I’ve seen plenty of 40+ people saying very immature things for attention.
Why? He’s like the best big time youtuber and isn’t shitty
Isn’t shitty
Welcome out from under that rock you’ve been under. He’s shitty.
Because he’s a racist shithead.
I’ve never heard of this before, would you enlighten me?
He’s said and done a lot of antisemitic things and spread Nazi ideology.

Much like Mr Beast and other top YouTubers, he only cares about himself and has used controversies of other YouTubers to try to take the spotlight off the fucked up things he’s done.

I feel lucky that I never got into his content. I heard so much about him as a kid, and I only recently started hearing about the Nazi stuff.
Isn’t this guy Nazi adjacent?
He did a video shouting out 10 lesser known youtube channels that he liked and it turned out one guy who did movie reviews or something had some antisemetic social media posts.
Tasteless, immature, edgelord, yes. Actual fascist/Nazi, I don’t think so. I’ve never really watched his content. And I will say this. From what I’ve seen in recent years, he seems to have matured a bit.
Quite frankly, Nazi-adjacent is bad enough, especially when he’s made no effort to own up to the problems he’s caused. It seems like he very deliberately tries to skirt the line of plausible deniability.
The bar for matured for someone with his history should be higher, especially in todays world.
Like making a video speaking against alt right edgelords and Nazis.
I didn’t say he was mature. I said he’s matured a little bit. I absolutely agree he should probably make some decent public apologies for the stupid s*** he’s done / said. But by the same token. When people do make progress no matter how small it is we can acknowledge it.
