It proves that he does not care if his facts are incorrect. And how can you oppose feminism and support gender equality at the same time? That's like opposing equal treatment for blacks and then saying that you support racial equality.

He said he was doing the livestream more for entertainment than for factual commentary. You can oppose feminism and support gender equality because you just can. Feminism is not synonymous with gender equality. It's one of the ideologies (at least, it used to) that advocates for it. Again, you're making that false equivlalence.

And if it was mroe for entertainment than factual commentary, why should we trust anything that he says? Also, tell me some ideologies that advocate gender equality that aren't feminism.

Because livestreams and response videos are different. I've already mentioned that earlier and it took you less than 10 minutes to already forget that.

Egalitarianism.

So, we just have to cherry pick from when TL;DR is being sincere and when he's not? He's also the same person that said that his older videos shouldn't count because he wasn't using raw data analysis, so it's obvious that it's not just his livestreams.

Also, egalitarianism is made up of multiple components, one of which being equality of genders, i.e. feminism.

So you're willing to lie to prove your point... A simple look at his video's descriptions totally rip your assertion to shreds.

This the third time you made the same false equivalence. Repetition for the fourth time isn't going to make your assertion any more true.

How am I willing to lie? He says right here that he's attempted to move away from comedy and more into raw data analysis right here:

OK, what is your definition of feminism? Maybe I should know what you're even referring to by feminism.

Okay...? What does that exactly prove? That TL;DR structures his livestreams and response videos differently?

Feminism does not have ownership of nor is it the only ideology that advocates for gender equality. Being an anti-feminist does not mean being opposed to gender equality. This is false equivalence.

It proves that he does not care if his facts are incorrect. And how can you oppose feminism and support gender equality at the same time? That's like opposing equal treatment for blacks and then saying that you support racial equality.

Opposing modern day feminism ideologies =/= anti-gender equality, similar to how you can always dislike parts of Islam and not be an anti-muslim crusader

NeoGAF's thread on PDP's reaction video is demonstrating a collective IQ no higher than the two digits range.

So I watched all the movies, never really watched his show or movies in the past and its a wrong decision by youtube to cancel his show I can imagine disney doesn't want to have this sort of humour because it doesn't fit their portfolio but thats all it was, jokes. And Google and Youtube should support him in name of freedom of speech.

Sure its a little more confronting when people make the jokes as people instead of in a show like south park or family guy but its very relatable and some people enjoy it and when you watch the content itself he did not mean to offend anyone and he seems like someone that does not carry much hate towards anyone.

I swear to god, if I had a penny for every time someone clearly showed that they don't don't understand the concept of "freedom of speech", I'd be richer that this guy.

So similar to how Milo Yiannopoulos's book shot up to #1 on Amazon after the UC Berkeley riots, PewDiePie's rate of receiving new subscribers made a big uptick after the media published its allegations.

From Jan 20 to Feb 7, he gets about 26K new subscribers per day. Something weird must have happened during the time period from Feb 8 to Feb 11, so that was why I chose the aforementioned timeframe. The media began to publish its allegations on Feb 14. From Feb 14 to Feb 17, PewDiePie has earned about 289K new subs or at a rate of 72K per day. So far today, he has earned over 40K new subs.

You can find PewDiePie channel's stats on SocialBlade.

I'm with pewdiepie on this. The media are horrible and their reports on him and his nazi jokes were twisted to suit their agenda. They got him fired which was the big headline they wanted.

However pewdiepie will get a very good deal off another youtube network so it's no sweat for him. If anything this just made him more popular.
