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

Good. Can't stand the prick.

Why does he still have a fanbase? Don't 12 year olds have anything better to do other than watch youtube? 

Nope. They watch videos. That's all they do. Whether it is Pewdiepie, cats being "cute", fail videos, it doesn't matter. Hell, they don't even play games. They watch others play them.

We went from playing football outside, to playing Fifa on consoles, to watching others play Fifa. De-evolution at its finest.

So the overal callback rate was 16.7% but whitened black resumes has a 25.5% callback rate and whitened Asian resumes have 21%? So the results are even higher than the average? So whitened ethnic resumes get more callback than the average resume, which would be a "white" resume? How does that work? Especially when they cannot hide the Asian ethnicity with the surname?

And on top of that, the ethnic resumes show political involvements whereas the whitened ones show charities?

Seems like they had a result in mind and worked towards it. But it still could not hide that western Asians have a higher callback rate than whites.

They whiten their names so they have a higher chance of being called back, which th studies show is a measure that does increase their rate. If that isn't proof of systemic racism, I don't know what is. Also, how do Asians have a higher callback rate than whites? The average is 11.5 for Asians and 10% for blacks, while the average in total is 16.7%, which means that whites have to be higher.



From the article "has been fired by Disney’s Maker Studios after posting a video on Jan. 11 that showed two men laughing while holding up a banner that said “Death to all Jews.” After that, PewDiePie posted nine other videos with anti-Semitic remarks or “Nazi imagery,”"

 

That sounds pretty bad to me.

Can't tell if this is genuine or sarcastic as who gives a shit about Chris Rock and Jerry Seinfeld's stand up anymore.

Clearly a lot of people do - Seinfeld's shows have sold out in Australia 1 whole year in advance.

Mario got outclassed by Rayman at 2D platforming years ago but guess who sells better? Mario is still fun but not the platforming masterpiece it used to be. Nostalgia is more powerful than people think and Seinfeld was a great show, but the person telling the jokes isn't the same guy from 20 years ago.

Wasn't there an on-going joke about Disney hating Jews ?

Walt Disney was an anti-semit himself. The Disney Company doesn't follow his view, obviously.

Not exactly.  The evidence for Disney being anti-semitic is pretty sparse.  There is like one or two cartoons with Mickey dressed as a Hasidic Jew or something.

The creator of Goofy also claimed that Walt was a member of a pro-Nazi organization.  But, the two of them had a long history of animosity and legal disputes.  Nobody else has corroborated these accounts.

Disney did attend meetings of an antisemitic organization, the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals.  The organization was largely anti-semitic, but it's mission statement was against Communism and Fascism, which Disney was very much against.

Disney employed a lot of Jews at his studios.  There are some accounts of off color jokes, but on the whole, Disney seemed to treat them well.  Several animators have spoken against the allegations.  His daughter dated a Jewish guy, reportedly with no objections from walt.  He made a bunch of donations to Jewish charities.  Interestingly, Walt was named man of the year by B'nai B'rith, a prominent Jewish organization, in 1955.  Before giving him the award, they investigated the claims of anti-semitism and judged them to be unfounded.  Of Walt's biographers, none of them seemed to believe him to be anti-semitic.

Ultimately, this kind of shows why Disney dropped Pewdiepie.  Because things are often blown out of proportion, and something like associating with anti-semites (or even perceived anti-semites) can spark a rumor that people will believe for over 50 years.  The evidence suggests that Disney was not anti-semitic.

No, they did not just whiten their names. They also changed from their involvement in political activities. So, what's the average callback for whites involved in political activities vs those that are involved? Also, based on the studies, does this mean that white people add an Asian surname they would increase their chances by 5%? Seems like it based on the findings.

Mickey dressed as a Hasidic Jew is anti-semitic?

How does it show that? Also, a majority of politicians are white, so it's not that surprising that they'd indiciate political activities. And how does having and Asian surname increase their chances? You seem to believe in the just world fallacy.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi
