Hey how's it going bros
My name is PEWDIEPIE
Just wanted to make a
quick video to
say thanks
I know it's a bit redundant... Ok?
But I realise that I never really got a chance to
fully express my gratitude
for all the support that I've gotten
throughout these past couple days.
I dont think I've gotten this much support--
--EVER.
Of--of me making videos these past six years on youtube
And, it really turns this shitty situation, COMPLETELY around.
And all the support that I've been getting,
from you guys,
has just been ... incredible.
It seems that people that [don't] even
necessarily consume my content,
came to support me,
throughout this whole thing with the media
because they thought the whole situation was unjustified.
If there's any newcomers, aha-- Ha--
Domo Arigato, thank you very much!
Why-why am I awkward
I also didn't realise, how much it would mean to me,
the fact that so many people supported me
Because I didn't think I needed it.
But when it seems like the whole world has kinda turned against you,
and is after blood,
To have people defending you, even when you
haven't gotten the chance to defend yourself,
it really means a lot.
It's something that I know I will never forget.
It's almost like the internet had my back throughout this whole situation.
And that has just been SO, incredibly cool.
Cause that's really all I care about.
I didn't make my way to where I am thanks to the media.
I didn't get where I am, through them.
I made my way through the internet, and-and through you guys. And thanks to you guys watching me.
And if you guys are still supporting me,
that means EVERYTHING to me.
Like, I couldn't care less what the media thinks about me
and what they say about me
And it clearly.... All bridges seem almost burnt at this point *laughs*
But the fact that you guys, had my back,
It means everything.
Umm, It's weird because I saw this coming
I said it in a video earlier this year. I think what I said was something like:
2017 is the year, It's gonna go bad for me
Alright? I'm just calling it out right now
Get out before you can, because Pewdiepie is-- he's a BAD boy now
'Anti-semitic'. What other labels can we put on him? 'Hitler-loving'
The media wants to paint me as some sort of villain.
*laughs* So, it went a lot faster, and a lot harder than I thought.
But, I knew it was gonna happen, because I let all guards down.
Like, I've been so tired, of everything that I say
being taken out of context
like, even before, and it's almost like
"I have to think what I say now in every single video
because someone else might watch it that
isn't necessarily my audience
and they might take that one part out of it and
put it on a headline"
And it's just so stupid. But I realized
I'm not gonna censor myself for that
I- I should care about the ones that actually watch my content
And what they think about it. And I think,
If anything, that's been more clear and obvious to me than ever.
Obviously I'm not gonna see this as some way to provoke or start drama
I have really, REALLY, no intentions of doing that
There's been just so much with the drama with the media
these last couple of months.
But it's really not some--
it's not something I thrive on. it's not something that I feel like,
"What can I do next?"
If anything, what I realize throughout this whole thing is that,
I really really really just care about entertaining my audience.
A lot of people have been saying,
Oh well, he lost so much, he lost his show and all these things
But, all these things are possible, and if anything,
now I'm independent, for the first time in 4 years, or 5 years. And uhh,
I feel great. I feel really really excited about what oppurtunities that's gonna bring in.
And if I didn't know [any] better, I'd say thank you to the WSJ
Actually, Thank you WSJ *laughs*
There's been some very busy couple of days for me
And, I'm sorry if the content hasn't really been up to standard
But, I feel more committed and more passionate than
*burps at the best time*
I wanna do something bigger about this whole thing
But, I can't say what it is. But that's for the future
But anyway, what I wanna say is, you guys fucking rock.
You-you are fucking awesome
I feel like I don't deserve it, but uhh, *kisses* thank you, thank you very much.
I'm ready to keep making videos
And, uhh, *kisses* love you.
also btw,
JK Rowling is still a cu-
