PewDiePie has to explain that his $50,000 pledge to an anti-hate group is legit

[Horza]

In a video yesterday, Felix “Pewdiepie” Kjellberg announced a generous $50,000 donation to the Anti-Defamation League, a 100-year-old advocacy organization founded to combat anti-Semitism. Kjellberg, who was celebrating his 100,000,000-follower touchstone on YouTube, explained in his video that “I feel like I’ve finally come to terms with the responsibility I have as a creator."

It’s unambiguously good for a respected anti-hate group to receive a cash boon, and Kjellberg followed up with a Tweet today to say his motive was earnest. But a contingent of Kjellberg’s followers aren’t convinced he did it out of the goodness of his heart, The Verge first reported. Hundreds of fans, posting on 4chan, Twitter and Reddit, are spreading the conspiracy theory that Kjellberg was “blackmailed” into donating to the ADL. Several emphatically believe that the ADL threatened Kjellberg with bad press or censorship on YouTube in exchange for the money.

In the meantime, it appears moderators of the subreddit dedicated to Pewdiepie fandom have been assiduously removing comments perpetuating the conspiracy theory. One attempt to clear things up yesterday in a pinned post by noting that “Felix donated to the ADL. He is not controlled by, employed by or in any other way affiliated with the ADL.” They added, “I have been called a ‘jew,’ ‘rabbi,’ ‘goyim’ hundreds of times in my DMs over the past 24 hours.” Source (https://kotaku.com/pewdiepie-has-to-explain-that-his-50-000-pledge-to-an-1838050460)

This article says he has 100 million followers but the Variety article says he has 57 million. Either way, why would anyone want to subscribe this guy in the first place and why do so many people subscribe to him?

This isn't rants and flames. What is it that you're implying based on the image? I see the obvious, but your implication is not so obvious.

Are we talking about how western culture is doomed, or what exactly are you getting at here?

PewDiePie pulls $50,000 pledge to Jewish anti-hate group after fan backlash. (https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/12/20862696/pewdiepie-adl-donation-backlash-100-million-subscribers)

In a video uploaded today, Kjellberg said that he didn’t know much about the ADL when he made the pledge. It was only after uploading the video and seeing feedback about the organization that he admitted he “didn’t know a lot of things that surfaced throughout this whole thing about the charity.”

Kjellberg previously addressed the criticism against his donation in a recently deleted tweet, acknowledging that “making a donation to the ADL doesn’t make sense to everyone, especially since they’ve outright spoken against me.”

[Horza]

That didn't take very long.

Oh fuck me I've been away from P99 a while, people on here Like JP?
Jesus christ, you can wash your penis and clean your room without believing everything is controlled by (((postmodern neomarxists))) or whatever you need to explain why women wont fuck you.

[Tobius]

So this group does actually suck and are anti Palestine but that's not why his little 9 year old proto nazi fans are mad of course.

He's cancelled the donation while wearing a jacket with a collar with a symbol functioanlly identical to an iron cross on it in the most blates dog whistle of all time.

What a shit show.

And yeah politics aside playing video games is lame anyways but watching another guy play video games for you, lame as hell dude. The sad thing is bad politics aside it's mainly a problem of parasocial relationships for people effected by end stage capitalist alienation but y'all aint ready for that conversation...

You clearly don't read off topic too often

And you can chalk this thread up to who gives a flying fuck

You sound very uneducated and someone who frequents a juice world or something. I'll be waiting on your conspiracy theory next on how the cross, end stage capitalist and PewDiePie are all connected.

[BallzDeep]

It's also funny Wonkie posts a photo of what children want to be when they grow older meanwhile, they are glued to the screen on social issues, celebrity politics and opinion news articles. No one gives a shit about PewDiePie in the scale of politics, religion or race.

P.S. Haven't seen PieOats proved wrong yet.

[Horza]

What the hell is a juice world?

[Horza]

Google is only saying that its Jarad A. Higgins (born December 2, 1998), better known by his stage name Juice Wrld (pronounced as "Juice World") (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juice_Wrld).

Please explain your broken English for us.

Pieoats doesn't catch shade cos I respect him. If he needs a YouTube daddy to improve his resource acquisition, fine. But applying redpill stuff externally degrades social Fidelity and poisons the romantic well. It used to be people trying to abrogate the existing sexual contract were called queer.

Thanks for the follow! :)

Who?

[Horza]

In a case of they can't seriously think we're that stupid, his shirt was emblazoned with the Georgian Bolnisi Cross and not the Iron Cross. (https://metro.co.uk/2019/09/14/pewdiepie-video-sparks-fiery-debate-viewers-mistake-georgian-bolnisi-cross-iron-cross-10743104/)

[Horza]

PewDiePie addressed the issue during a new episode of "Pew News" that dropped on September 19. (https://comicbook.com/gaming/2019/09/19/pewdiepie-youtube-iron-cross-adl/)

“That cross, people were very sure it was a Nazi cross,” said PewDiePie. “People started attacking me because of it. Nevermind the fact that it’s Georgian characters literally right next to it. Nevermind the fact that I have worn it many times before on my channel. The only time I've see people comment on it has been Georgian people with excitement.” He continued by noting that he didn't even think about people associating Nazi imagery with his sweater, mostly because he doesn't even think about what's wearing all that much.
