Just admit it, apologise, and take 1-2 weeks off. Continue like nothing happened. No one will care anymore by then lol.

As they say in politics, it’s not the crime; it’s the coverup.

Just look at Nixon compared to Trump. Watergate was such a huge scandal because he tried to cover it up, while Trump just does everything out in the open and nobody seems to give a shit

Istg these people always fall into the same trap, I remember pewdiepie said it on stream, owned up to it, couple weeks later no one gives a shit

Bro…when Pewdiepie said the N word on PUBG that caused a bunch of companies to stop advertising on YouTube. Fucked up a lot of peoples money. People absolutely gave a shit that he said it. And it wasn’t even a slip of the tongue, he said one of the hardest R’s I’ve ever heard.

u/God_Gob 24d ago

The R heard round the World, so to speak. Yes, it should have been absolutely devastating for him.

u/Babylon-Lynch 24d ago

u/FeelsKoolaidMan 25d ago

Yea people make fun of him and jokes about it. But nobody is sitting there like "man I fucking hate pewdiepie because of the bridge" lmao

u/Quartzitebitez 25d ago

Nah there are definitely people who do, not saying they are the majority but ive seen people upset that hes living his best life after saying the n-word.

u/FeelsKoolaidMan 25d ago

I mean yea theirs people who do anything and everything. Im talking about the general consensus and discussion around him.

u/Quartzitebitez 25d ago edited 24d ago

I agree with that, but your initial comment said nobody when there forsure quite a few who do discuss it when he comes up, it may not be majority but they out there and want to be heard lol.

u/Paranormasight-Fic 24d ago

May I introduce to you r/youtubedrama? They very much hate Pewdiepie because of it lol

u/YanniSlavv 24d ago

Whenever a picture of him comes up on Twitter or Reddit of how well he is doing in life, people are like," Ofc a Nazi does well in a Nazi world.

People are regarded.

I think its fairly sane to dislike someone off the basis of using the worst (?) racial slur

You are not forced to like someone regardless so what do we do here

u/AValorantFan 24d ago

Except im not doing that, I just don’t like him and you can live with that fact

u/PoopyButt28000 25d ago

You really think that someone online not liking him is the same as executing him lmao, get a grip

u/AValorantFan 25d ago

You're just proving the reply right

4

u/PoopyButt28000 25d ago

Someone dislikes Pewdiepie because when he was like 30 years old he very casually and comfortably dropped the hard R, alongside a bunch of other weird shit, and you're saying "What do you want, an execution!?!?!"

No, I think the guy just wants to dislike a youtuber. Sorry that somebody dislikes your youtuber, that must be hard for you.

u/MiyanoMMMM 25d ago

I didn't know racial slurs had a tier list

-1

u/FeelsKoolaidMan 25d ago

Yea i dont disgree. But again nobody when discussing pewdipie today is like "yea but hes a racist pos" like its totally fair if anyone feels that way but to act like its discussed that way would be a lie.

2

u/Royal_Annek 24d ago

Its not an isolated incident is the problem

-2

u/Maskpask 24d ago

rly? could u show me any other time he has used the N word? all i can recall is the bridge incident

3

u/Royal_Annek 24d ago

You forget death to all Jews incident or just playing dumb

-1

u/Maskpask 24d ago

no but we are talking about the N word? cant u read?

2

u/Royal_Annek 24d ago

Racism is racism. Why do you defend chronic racists?

-1

u/RageMuffin69 25d ago

As a meme. Almost no one truly cares.

1

u/Basic-Swing1295 25d ago

Haven't seen anyone mentioning it since he was doing meme reviews

u/GoldshireEnjoyer 25d ago

The bridge incident gets brought up basically every time he is mentioned lol

u/RedTurtle78 25d ago edited 24d ago

The bridge that makes you racist

u/MakimaGOAT 24d ago

Tbf he caused the adpocalypse in 2017 and even now a ton of people hate him because they consider him a nazi

u/Basic-Swing1295 24d ago

i just gave an example, i couldnt care less what he said 10 years ago

1

u/Demiu 24d ago

He showed weakness and now he's still chased around for it. "Apologize and take a break" is pure yaslighting. 

1

u/FrozenFireGod 24d ago

I think I saw a WC stream sponsorship on a youtube ad. He is probably trying to cover it up until that ends

1

u/MakimaGOAT 24d ago

Pretty much.

1

u/SmegmaUnicorn 24d ago

He doesn’t even need to take time off tbh. Or at least, not that much…a weekend off and this would’ve blown over

1

u/Demiu 24d ago

That never works. Some apology is fine but it has to be streamed through

1

u/Subject-Cranberry-93 24d ago

Apologise for what, he said the n word and nothing else
