I also added the 30 second clips so people will see. Yeah, it wasn't great. In fact, it's downright stupid they would say that. But hey, "It's a livestream so anything can slip out".
Then fucking think before you actually say.
Pretty obvious why

How about you stop trying to justify some bullshit with something else? The guy said something wrong and he's being raked over the coals for it. There is nothing hard to "get" here. Don't fucking say the word. If you hear it in a rap song, you still don't get to say the word. Get the hell over it. So sick of this "but rappers say it" bullshit. Are you itching that bad to say it?
He's not, I'm done giving people the benefit of the doubt too. If someone's argument is to bring up rappers saying the n word then they're already shown your ignorance imo.

Uh, did you forget H3H3 defending Pewdiepie's Nazi jokes?Damn H3 y'all were the last I'd think to defend him

Really? Ethan's been pandering to the alt-right crowd slowly but consistently.
Well thank you for the clowning, you certainly contribute to the conversation. I suppose 3 is not too shabby

H3H3 went radio silent on Jontron around the same time their content pretty all became "lol look at these dumb feminists/SJW types!"
This was to be expected.
Fuck 'em. I unsubbed ages ago. Last I saw a clip of them they were hosting fucking Joey Salads.
Fuck H3H3, they're spineless centrists like Boogie.

" why can black people say stuff I can't"
"It's not that I think I can get away with saying whatever I want"
That's exactly what he thinks. Immediately afterwards, he was joking with his friend about how little he cares about the potential fallout from this. Acknowledging they this is the latest in a string of apologies for the same kind of thing doesn't lend sincerity either, it just makes him look bad at dogwhistles.

What you're boiling this down to is basically "Why can black people say it but I can't?".

Huh? I was expecting them to be the first. H3 is a grade A piece of shit.

They couldn't even say anything about the JonTron controversy. That one was way too hot for them to handle so they stayed away from it.
Kinda weird that they made living of calling out people that have done stuff like JT or PDP have done recently but won't actually call them specifically out at all.
It might have something to do with those musicians being black? I don't know what is so hard to understand, it's a word that's meant to put down black people and they really don't want people to use it to put them down. Do people really need to say the word so badly that they're coming up with all sorts of excuses?
I'm fan of H3H3's youtube videos, but it really sucks that them making some videos about the more outrageous social justice types ("digital blackface" or that manspreading video) are attracting a big crowd of alt-right nasties. It would serve them well to put out a serious video distancing themselves from people who are constantly acting in a racist way like PDP and Idubbzzzzzz.
Well thank you for the clowning, you certainly contribute to the conversation. I suppose 3 is not too shabby
It's crazy. It's like they must have everything under the sun.
Sigh...... because context.
Because it was a word invented by white people to dehumanize black people they had enslaved. So when a black person says it there's none of that history and power behind it.
But hey, Junior account asking the same question a lot of Juniors keep asking despite google being really fucking easy to use.

Sorry to lash out that hard but that made me a bit upset. Anyway I know there are a ton of shitty racist people. But I don't everyone is like that or even most people.

Of course he knows he could just Google what he supposedly doesn't "get". Whatever, he'll be banned soon enough anyway.
Hila: "It's not like we just watched him do an act of racism."
Excuse me? That's EXACTLY what you just watched.
You must've missed them setting their mob on a wall street journalist for a story about the last pewdiepie shit. They accused them of false shit then didn't call off their attack dogs.Damn H3 y'all were the last I'd think to defend him

Maybe you should consider that your lack of knowledge and understanding about the word "nigger" in America coupled with your apparent disdain for blacks puts you at a much greater disadvantage in this conversation than my not speaking 5 languages.

"It's not like we just watched him do an act of racism."
How would she know this if she's just now aware about the "n-word"?
There's people without food and water and then there's 200pgs of people taking about 1 guy saying a rude word. I don't believe the whole "he influences the next gen of kids", we all had some brains to know what's right and wrong even as kids listening to dr dre. Yes, it's wrong, but so much drama?

As far as I am concerned it is now a black persons word to do whatever the fuck they want with it. I would tell people that object to that statement to look into why it's used in the way it is by black people, in the US in particular. But I think that may be asking too much of them...

Yep, utterly toxic.
I knew I was wasting my time but sometimes you just feel like you gotta say something.

Its almost like more than 1 thing can be bad! Shocking right?
Believe what you want but all you have to do is look at the comments of this video to know otherwise.
Thread whining is against the TOS and it is a racist word,not a rude one.
This a gaming forum. Not a food bank.
So starving kids is kind of... irrelevant? But the toxicity of our community absolutely is.
If you are concerned about starving kids you could always volunteer at a shelter.

Ethan Klein: "It's a livestream. Shit can happen. Doesn't make him a horrible person or a racist. It's not the same as beating up a black guy and burning a cross on someone's lawn."
Hila Klein: "Yeah, it's not like we watched him do an act of racism."
Sounds pretty clear cut that H3H3 don't think Pewdiepie did anything racist. Which is just wrong on H3H3's part. Again.
....a rude word? what the heck?
This is worse than the people saying it's "just a bad word"
And yes, Pewdiepie does influence people. A ton of people. He is THE single biggest Youtuber, period. He is very influential; not only on impressionable kids (and even teens/young adults), but on YouTube as a whole. If he got away with this, it sends the message that it's okay. "The biggest Youtuber ever said it, so clearly it's fine!"
The strange thing is the lack of self awareness. The people defending Pewdiepie are almost all white and male, across the board. And many of the people publicly criticizing Pewdiepie are black. How oblivious do you have to be to try and defend racist language as a white person? Why choose that battle for yourself?
It's especially strange to see this all happening during the Trump administration. JonTron, H3H3, Pewdiepie, all these prominent white male youtubers all trying to defend a position on this that is indefensible. Just... why? Why fight for this? Just stop.

Not the best example considering his success and lack of real atonement
If you watch the actual channels of those Youtube Stars and especially their chats you can only assume how impressionable all those young kids are who are looking up to their idols. These huge Youtube streamers have a HUGE responsability, so yes: so much drama is completely justfied from my point of view.
Oh, and get out with stupid phrases like "well, the real problems out in the world are starving people". That's probably the laziest debate killer ever.

So what are you doing here
Funny how many of the white gamers defending PDP would be the same people bemoaning his success just a year ago too... wonder what's different now? 🤔
