How is "Death to all Jews" even considered a joke. What about that is funny? And why does it bother you that people are not okay with it? It's not like he's going to jail or anything, so it seems that you think that people shouldn't criticize him for saying that. |
As I understand from reading other articles, what PewDiePie actually did was using a platform called "Fiverr" to see just how embarrassing/disgusting things people are willing to do for a few pieces of silver nowadays. Among these things was holding up signs that read "Death to all jews" and "Hitler did nothing wrong" in public.
Now one can clearly disagree on whether this is funny or not - but how is this very different from what Sasha Baron Cohen has been doing in his roles as "Brüno" or "Borat"? In these movies (usually considered to be very funny), Cohen is often actively "fishing for anti-semitism", trying to make his dialog partners say disgusting things like demanding a "train to Auschwitz".
I don't see how this is very different. Because Cohen is a jew himself? I don't think so.
