Forums - General Discussion - PewDiePie fired by Disney and Youtube cancels his show

LadyJasmine said:
Based on how society is , being outspoken is quite popular these days, so PewDiePie will be fine but wont be rolling in cash anymore.

He sure will be rolling in cash. Watch the Phil DeFranco video about PewDiePie. He shows that Pew's subscriber numbers have shot up since the WSJ article. Given WSJ has been shown to have done a fake news take down attempt on Felix he's actually doing well out of it. His relationship with Youtube Red and Disney was probably pretty lucrative but he is sure still making plenty of money from what he was doing before he signed up with those coporates.

Really, Youtube at least should eat some crow and acknowledge they acted on misinformation. I don't see Disney doing anything. They can't afford to have any whiff of anti-semitism near them, even from fake news.

"There has been heightened tension on the council estates of Paris since the 2nd of February, when a 22-year-old youth worker named Theo was allegedly beaten up and raped with a truncheon by police.

Seems like a pretty reasonable reason for the people to riot IMO, if true.

But by all means, carry on blaming the immigrants.

I suppose the only way you're going to actually acknowledge the problem is if it directly affects you. When you go to your favourite cafe and your girlfriend isn't allowed in because the area is being run my immigrants, then you'll see it. When you get put out of the home you've lived in for 16 years by the government because they want to house immigrants there, then you'll see it. When you get stopped in the streets because it's a Sharia law enforced area and your girlfriend is wearing 'inapropriate dress' or you're carrying a can of beer, then you'll see it. When the 'rape game' comes to an area near you, then you'll see it. When the women in your area start dying their hair black because they fear being attacked if they're blonde, then you'll see it. When you're banging on a door because there are immigrants who have your 13 year old daughter upstairs and are having sex with here, and YOU get arrested, then you'll see it.

Sounds like I've just made that up, doesn't it ...

Here's a nice fluffy conservative vid for the more faint of heart:

And here's another showing how the press are hiding it from you:

How much of that is fake news and hyperbole? Last year's claims at Republican primaries of Birmingham(?) (UK) having large no-go areas and being run under Shariah rule were well debunked. And I've read a few reports debunking that first video you posted.

Are you only looking at things that don't confirm your bias sceptically but accepting things that do confirm your biases without question?

The safest thing for everyone these days is to be sceptical about everything you see and hear from all media sources, the main stream and the alt sources. Because it seems only after time (and even not then) that the real truth will come out.

We have this PewDiePie WSJ thing being completely debunked now. We have DJT speaking hamfistedly about Sweden, but probably not actually claiming there was a terror attack (but still that Fox News thing he was referring to has been strongly rebutted). We have Milo being accused of being a Paedophile sympathiser which might not be true (but might be true, it's too soon to know what is true right now).

Everyone has an agenda and they are using whatever tricks they can to push their agenda. The only time I am pretty confident that something is likely to be true is when someone reports on something in a positive way that is actually the opposite of the agenda they are trying to push. When you have people who dislike and are jelous of PewDiePie coming to his defence, it's worth taking notice of them.

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.

Egalitarianism is very broad, and it would embrace feminism as having a common purpose but with a narrower focus. So Egalitarianism is feminist when it comes to the application of egalitarianism to gender issues.

Doesn't this guy donates millions to charity?

I found these. It looks he organizes fundraisers, but I'm not sure if he donates directly his own money:

https://my.charitywater.org/felix-kjellberg/pewdiepie

He does donate his own money. I remeber watching a livestream of his about a year ago and he donated money to star the fundraiser. 



The point is media is discrediting itself calling Pewdiepie a fascist and other terms and feels it has some self righteous obligation to call out everyone that does not agree with their world view.

What he did was silly and stupid but the content of Youtube Star is over the top all the time.


If people wonder why people treat respectable media sources with disdain, this is an apt example.

WSJ and Disney are trying to lift themselves on pedestal of ethics by attacking PweDiePie. Doublemorale.

With equally strong targeted interpretation one could say that Disney is spreading nudity and violence to kids. All you need as evidence is to watch any of their videos or comic books.

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.

I oppose feminism BECAUSE I support equality. As a feminist EX-friend once said to me 'The trouble with men is they think they know all women.'

That'd be like me disliking all British people because one of them told me "the trouble with Canadians is they think they know all Brits."
