[muffled audio] Good Evening, I am Poppy Pewdiepoop and you are watching Pew News,
the most respected news source, Back at it again with amazing quality.
Feels good to be back man
PEW NEWS INTRO \ (^_^) /
Now lets just jump into it. Pewdiepie did an oopsie.
Can you believe this? Pewdiepie did an OOPSIE? WHAT?!
There's definitely not been any shortage of calling PewDiePie a racist over these past couple weeks.
There's now a petition calling for his removal from Youtube due to 'white supremacist platform'
Oh, frick! Not a petition
I might as well delete my channel right here and right now
I might as well start finding a new job because
Petitions are the most effective way to make a change in the whole world
I mean it's not like Article got 5 Million signatures to stop
And it did nothing! [Laughs]
Okay, So let's check out this petition.
Remove white supremacist content from YouTube
Yeah! I agree
I think that's good. I think it looks bad on everyone
If there is white supremacist content on the platform
And it could possibly just lead to another Adpocalypse
So, I will actually have to sign this petition, and... Oh!
It's literally just calling to ban me from... the website, and nothing else
Oh! Okay, that will stop it [Sarcastic]
We need to ban PewDiePie from YouTube!
That will stop all the bad things
It's literally just calling them to ban me, and nothing else
I'm sure a lot of people just read these headlines:
Stop normalising or stop...
Or remove white supremacy and be like
Eh, I'll sign that. Sure... Sure, I'll sign that
Just by glancing over the points that they made against me
It's so blatantly misrepresenting and misinforming people
A lot of these points are just flat-out lies as well
context who needs that? Unimportant. I don't care!
why would I need to link sources to any of the claims that defames a person, no!
I mean honestly like it's surprising how changed our org is even letting this
up cuz there's no nothing to back up any of the claims but let's just go through it
PewDiePie in the past used the N-Slur twice in two separate videos and
has hired people to say the n-word
What! When have I hired people?
That implies that I've hired multiple people to say the what are you talking about I can't even
defend myself I don't know what they are talking about
why would I do that I used the n-word twice I did it in the live stream okay
it slipped up it was incredibly irresponsible foolish and stupid of me
to do that and people know about this I've acknowledged this wrongdoing and I
moved away from it I think it's been almost two years now but apparently I've
done it in two separate videos and hired people that's what I did remember that
remember next point he has promoted videos that contain Adolf Hitler
speeches and anti-semitic cartoons The Wall Street Journal article about me had
a Hitler speech in it is that what their reference is that what the referencing
Disney has a famous anti-semitic cartoon or at least that contains Adolf Hitler
type of propaganda is that what they're referencing Wall Street Journal and Disney?
Does context matter. Uh.. clearly it doesn't. He paid Indian men at the website, Fiverr to
hold up signs to say death to all Jews did you know about this has anyone heard
about this did he know PewDiePie did this has anyone ever told you this has
every single media news media article in the past three years that mentions my
name not mentioned this enough already I don't think so
another thing that is never mentioned is that I also wrote to subscribe to
keemstar as well it was so obviously me trying to come up with the most horrific
sentence I could think of like the worst thing I could get to pay people to do on
this website this Fiverr because people were literally doing anything and it was
proving a point of that and I was shocked by the results as well it wasn't
like yeah awesome we did it it was shocking and I thought just that
in itself was interesting but clearly I stepped too far
I've definitely paid the consequences and I've learned from that mistake but I
guess we're just gonna keep hearing it for the past 60 years he
form the Nazi Heil in one of his videos where show it please show it cuz I don't
think I've done it I've hold up my arm as a way to prove a point that people
wanted me to be a Nazi so badly but they'll use anything against me and you
just proven that point yourself thank you very much
it's such a broken record at this point I'll hearing all these points like yeah
we've heard that a million times he used images of famous african-americans
Neil deGrasse Tyson, Barack Obama captioned with the wrong names oh my god how could
he do this confirmed white supremacist everyone we do this with everyone
white or black no one cares it's just so stupid what does it mean it means nothing
he made a clip of a man dressed as Jesus
holding a sign stating Hitler did absolutely nothing wrong I did not do
this this is a false information that has just been constantly told by people
and no one checks up on it I never paid him to hold up that sign that was
someone else there's no source I can't even like dispute it but I remember that
showing up a few days later and I'm like I didn't do that look this is what I
told him hi this juices I want to say subscribe to my favorite channel on
YouTube jacksepticeye - I love jacksepticeye - that's what I told him
to write this is just false I never did this he makes rape jokes
he makes rape jokes yes six years ago you're implying that I do it now and the
joke was that this monster was gonna rape me in this horror game like yeah
extremely childish stupid humor I don't do that now like why bring it up I said
it's a constant thing on my channel in his face swapping video he repeatedly
uses an image actress less of a Leslie Jones to represent Harambee there were a
gorilla killed in the Cincinnati Zoo last year it seems like they're more
sympathetic about the gorillas than Leslie Jones
the famous wobbling video was an AI that face what different things the AI did
this I had no control in it next time next time I'll be sure to control the AI
I'll do my best I'll do my very best the thing is like as laughable as these
points are a lot of people are obviously taking it seriously it's accumulated
76,000 signatures and if you don't know anything about me and you don't know
anything to challenge these then obviously it paints a really bad
picture of me that just isn't true or at least accurate or anywhere near accurate
I would even argue then further on in the comments they even admit themselves
saying like even if PewDiePie cleared up his act, his comment sections are still a
cesspool of white supremacist activities and commentaries that's a pretty bold
statement I really enjoy this part because it's like you've argued this
point that I'm a white supremacist that need to be stopped or at least a
normalization of it that's the argument here but all the sudden it's like oh
well even if the comments section that's right the comment section is the problem
the comment section on my channel the cesspool I mean I agree that it's a
cesspool but not of white supremacist commentary let's just look at my comment
section let's just check out it's a cesspool of not - commentary let's just
look at it okay I mean this could be Nazi stuff I don't know there's a bunch
of Russian comments - series more like teary rash haha
that's good send them to the range I think beautifier wants to live it there
like if you have a problem with my comment section by all means feel free
to come feel free to criticise my comment section but don't use the
listing of all these things as some sort of shield for your point don't attack me
with all these inflammatory claims within lives with no context - then just
go well the comments section is bad it's so weak it's so measly it's so tiring
this someone pointed out that this petition is so inaccurate that they even
used - they even used to list a satirical article about me as as a claim
that I was a white supremacist saying that I dressed up in an entire Klansmen
robe while streaming so they actually believe this Jesus Christ there's a
satirical website that did this they wrote PewDiePie accidentally puts on an
entire KKK uniform in the middle of a game stream hey listen it was an epic
gaming moment, I could not help myself it happens to the best of us this is
clearly just a Photoshop and a joke it's a satirical website but they list it as
it as an actual claim that I'm normalizing white supremacist like Jesus
Christ it is laughable but also it's like people do believe it so it's kind
of sad at the same time next news that's right everybody there's
no shortage of PewDiePie is a racism this week
Wil Wheaton attack speed by calling him a racist piece of a shit
Wil Wheaton, for those who don't know is a child actress he was a Star Trek in some other movies
and then he sort of became popular for being a nerd doing board games and all
that kind of stuff and then he sort of dabble into this really strange politics
I don't really know what's up with Wil Wheaton but apparently he posted this on
Facebook saying hi Facebook on one hand I'm heartened to discover that you know
similar so little about me your algorithms seem to think that I want to
follow a racist piece of shit bigot on the other hand f you for coming for
recommending and providing a platform for this racist piece bitch bigot
Facebook provides a platform for a racist piece of shit I'm not even on facebook
you dumb schmuck this is a this is a fan-made group ah well we didn't want to
whack my fan group Oh so anyone who wants to or feels a need
to defend this guy's words in action as just being jokes please ask one of your
non-white friends if they think it's funny when someone uses racist language
of racist tropes I bet you well I have more non-white friends than you okay but
I thought I was a racist bigot now you're saying that they're jokes and
making it about how people feel about jokes if you want to criticise me feel
free to do that again or anything that I've done but this is such a straw man
argument saying ask a non-white what they feel about its videos if it's just
a joke there's in place that all my content is just filled with racial jokes and
slurs it's like no obviously not that's not the case maybe you could add
a compilation of all the edgy racist jokes that I've done and to prove some
sort of point like oh look yeah well he might be not be a giant racist but he's
sure made a lot of jokes like yeah I have what five thousand videos I don't
even know how many videos I have I'm pretty sure you can make it you can
prove any point what you can prove whatever point in the world just by
going through this library you can make me look whatever way then there were
just a few people defending me in the comments saying like
[The] Dude has donated more to...
saying like maybe looking to the guy a bit more
pretty reasonably claimed dude has donated more to even just India this
year then maybe you have your whole life never mind record-breaking charities
Despite the fact that he makes crazy amount less than billionaires and then
Will Wheaton hits up with that you know who else donates crazy amount of money
to people who need it people who aren't racist, so you do Will, is that what
you're saying or are you a racist now I never list the the charity work
we've done in this channel because I think it's very self loving itself
gratifying and but now that I'm being so frequently accused of being white
nationalist and racist into constantly having this list of the bad things that
it's been a paired about me in the media constantly reinforced I feel like I
should at least bring up that if I was a racist then why
and even then even if my channel was racist or my comments were racist or my
audience was racist then why would we raise $600,000 to build wells in Africa
we raised three hundred forty two thousand toward saving the children
which helps children all across the world we raised 1.3 million for the
charity read which fights against AIDS stoping aids all across the world
I think we raise even more I don't know exact amount because we also did the
Apple red campaign as well through to birch simulator which I know was a
pretty significant amount of money and also two hundred what was a two hundred
fifty thousand towards helping kids in India I get a better education know
doing charity work does not resolve your shortcomings or wrongdoings
that's not what anyone is saying people are just pointing out how constantly
having all these negative fittings listed without acknowledging any of the
positive is gonna paint a bad picture of anyone and if just for the sake of just
being ridiculously clear at least in my opinion
Fuck anyone who's racist and fuck anyone who's white nationalist that's not what I'm about
and that's not what this channel has ever been about it's so crazy to me how
it's even still a topic of discussion do people really need an enemy that bad
that they need to force it upon me it's like they wanted me to be an enemy so
badly to just bruised their own morale moral virtue oh well this successful guy
on YouTube well he's actually just a racist it's like people can't handle the
fact that I'm successful that's kind of a strong argument but still it it
feels like it it feels like a very spiteful reaction to what I do in this
channel it's almost getting to the conspiracy level at this point where
like he played a video game with a guy that had like a mocking avatar so he
must be a Nazi oh well he gave a shout out to this one channel that had Nazi
imagery in it out of 30 channels so he must be a Nazi or at least he was
secretly be a Nazi that's right secret Nazi everyone
finally I just wanted to finish up with I I read this comment on a Verge article
article a friend of mine sent it to me I know verge article comments big hikes
but I think it summarized things pretty well and why some people are so heated
about defending me I had not watched a single video until the verge began
publishing multiple articles about him I was initially under the impression I
thought this is interesting because this person is clearly not a fan of my videos
I was initially under the impression that his videos would turn out similar
to the horrific Alex Jones show however after watching a few videos I
found them to be less sensational than described in various articles it's
incredibly obvious to anyone with a brain that these interjections aren't
supporting racism and are instead of taking cracks at Vox media for labeling
him as a racist when I look back on the past evidence against him it honestly
said more about the poor journalism surrounding the situation
Than it did of his behaviour for example he recommended an anime reviewers
channel along with other channels because he liked one of their anime
reviews the channel happened to have bro white supremacy videos buried in his
history was that really a secret plan to subscribe kids to Nazi ideals obviously
not a lot of people do think that it seemed like an obvious and
understandable oversight no one with a life goes through every single video of
a channel before recommending it well people are saying well he should have
been more responsible but they always follow it up that's just a
counter-argument to their initial point well he's a Nazi well not really oh well
he should be more responsible that's not the argument you're making that was my
point the other accusation against him regarding Fiverr comes off as a big
mistake on his but I also understand why PewDiePie felt it
was a good way to highlight his point it's point being that people on Fiverr
will go to extreme lengths to provide a service even if it means acting
immorally in response to these issues that you should an apology the leader
the content something you have to twist tech companies arm to get yet the issue
seems to arise every time his channel is listed in article I'm probably a good
example of how frequently it's mentioned because I have no interest in YouTube
culture but checked it out because it was mentioned so often I wondered how
someone so supposedly racist and carefree could generate so many
subscribers as it turns out the articles were deceptive and sensationalist to my
disappointment that's it for this week's pew news hopefully we can talk about
something more interesting than hey guys I'm not a racist I swear but that's it
for this week's hopefully you know this video will probably have some tabs if
you want to support the channel I highly recommend it this very epic merch is
available right now on represent icon 90 million club merch let's get it thank
you guys for supporting the channel I see you guys next time
what super simulators becoming relevant
no no don't leave no please sponsor eagle please do
something
yes yeah this game is still relevant God dammit.
