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?

      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.
