With PewDiePie switching to Linux, I’ve seen more and more post with him and they often get locked.

What moral failings did he commit, and has he done anything to make up for them?

    The fact that he wasn’t concerned that a notable chunk of his audience was either fasc-y or being led down that path is concerning.

    I remember The Comedy Button (a podcast comprised of mostly ex-IGN staff) during Gamergate. A few of their fans were espousing that kind of thought and the hosts shut that shit down quick. They lost a chunk of listeners, but you gotta kick the nazis out of the bar.

      I feel like nurturing an audience is part of the job of a influencer. For example, when Jerma sees bigoted shit in his chat, people are banned , and he tells his chat why it’s wrong to say that stuff. Being clear and concrete is great tools to garnering a wholesome audience.

      From what I understand, PewDiePie didn’t do anything.
