Ok, that was just funny.lol

Also, kinda funny how not long after the death to all Jews was ordered, he genuinely said that learning to sing in Hebrew sounded fun.  Man, does he hate those Jews.

He's one of the best hosts out there. Most others are boring and stale as heck. Ever seen Biggest Loser. That girl sucks. Ryan Secrest on all his shows has become the same ol' same ol'. The Voice guy is like watching a bored host from that mtv show (can't recal name)

Don't watch too many reality tv shows, but nick canon is definately one of the better hosts out there.

Maybe in your world but in the real world he is mostly known for being Mr Mariah Carey.

In the real world, he is unknown, nick canon, or maybe some random black host on AGT.

Only people that know him as Maria Carey's MR are those that care about people magazine or other celeb gossip. I would think he would be more known for his actual movies he was in. Don't know any of them offhand, but he always plays some high school kid, lol

They can still hate Jews. Plenty of white people hate on white people.

They don't hate Jews.

I'm not saying they do. Maybe they do, maybe they don't. But saying they don't hate them just because they're jewish isn't logical.

Hopefully we'll never hear from him again.

It's insane how people are overreacting about this.

What was the actual joke though? All I keep hearing is that it was anti-semitic, but it's really hard to judge without context.
Oh well, this has about zero influence on my life, I've never watched any Pewdipie to begin with. My whole knowledge about him stems from game theoriy videos, wich in turn have been getting increasingly gimmicky and annoying.

The reason why nazi jokes are funny, is because they're so wrong. If this was something he actually thought, something that was normalized, then it wouldnt be a joke. It wouldnt be funny. It would lose all of its comedic value.

Now, you're free to think that the jokes were bad, or maybe in poor taste. Disney can absolutely throw him out for it, they're a private company, they can do whatever they want. I, and many with me, will think badly of Disney for this. Others might praise 'em for it. Blah, business as usual.

But fucking hell...

I'm from Sweden, and they mentioned this on the news on TV. Is this really news-worthy? Really?! Not only that, hundreds of articles, painting Felix as a nazi, all over the internet. Mainstream media sure is amazing.

Well, Jontron made Heil Hitler jokes, too, and said it was just that, a joke. But then come to find out later he goes on Sargon's podcast and complains about white people being discriminated against, which leads me to assume that he was joking less than he claimed. Whether Felix is the same or not, I'm not sure.

Wut? How do you even remotely make a connection between the two? That's hands down one of the dumbest things I've read in quite while.

I made a connection because Jontron made the connection.

How is anyone being discriminated against? The whole discrimination today is composed of isolated issues rather than something systemic.

Maybe he doesn't want Iranians into US? Perhaps he values the big picture instead of one isolated issue. Besides, considering the list of banned countries comes from Obama, it seems it's the Democrats as much to blame as it is the Republicans.

There is no such thing as systematic discrimination.

Stupid media
Just watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtxXKezbQ9w
It's not anti-semitic in any way. The media misunderstood it on purpose to make bad news about Pewdiepie.
