  • Yeah it IS you people that need help. Because I’m not defending a Nazi. I am defending a person that made edgy Nazi jokes in their youth because I have enough brain power and human experience to know that not every single edgy teenager and young adult goes on to actually support extremist crap. It’s almost like humans spend their youth learning what’s ok in society. What’s not ok. Where they land on issues. Where other people land on issues.

    What’s more important to me and most other humans is what kind of person someone is today. What kind of person they have been like in the last few years of their lives.

    Every single human makes mistakes. How they learn from those mistakes is generally more important than the mistakes themselves (obviously not always the case).

    Grow up.



  • I’m older than PewDiePie. I have two little brothers that grew up watching him religiously so I ended up seeing a lot of his content and being looped in on his controversies.

    What mentally insane people believe is completely irrelevant. Plenty of insane people have taken words of peace and love and somehow found ways to twist them into calls of violence.

    Using mentally deranged peoples actions to blame a public figure is actually insane. Not once did PewDiePie ever make any calls to action and in fact he publicly denounced those people and what they did.

    YOU need help.


  • He is not a Nazi apologist at all lmao.

    He paid some Indian guys in fiver to hold up a sign that said something like “death to Jews” or something like that. He didn’t think they would actually do it and he of course he laughed when they sent back the video of them dancing and holding up the sign.

    When he got backlash for the “joke” by mainstream media he felt they were purposely twisting things around in a certain way to make him look worse and he was going to prove it. He then wore a British WW2 military officers uniform for a video where he claimed they would purposely cut the video to misrepresent things and that’s exactly what happened. They claimed he doubled down and wore a Nazi uniform because he was a Nazi.

    Not long after that whole debacle he then had the infamous “bridge incident” where he called some random gamer the n word while he was live on twitch playing PUBG. He made an apology video after that where he said: “It was something I said in the heat of the moment. I said the worst word I could possibly think of, and it just sort of slipped out. I’m not going to make any excuses as to why it did, because there are no excuses for it.”

    Absolutely worth being criticized for the things he did in his past, but I don’t think it’s fair to cancel the guy forever because of those things. Especially when it appears that he has grown up quite significantly since those days.


  • You seem to be holding onto a lot of hate for something a very different guy did 10+ years ago. He’s gotten married, had a kid and moved his family to Japan since his young edgy days.

    He absolutely deserved criticism for the stupid shit he was doing when his channel was exploding, but I think holding onto that level of vitriol for this long isn’t healthy.

    People are allowed to grow and change. Im sure you said or did some incredibly stupid shit in your teenage and young adult years. I know I fucking did. If we never allow people to grow and change for the better then we are permanently locking each person to their lowest point and holding them there forever. I think that is an incredible robotic and inhuman way to approach the human condition.




  • I thought about this a lot after the last time I saw this post. I am almost positive it was a The Prodigy mix that I made for myself. My little sister got a car with a CD drive in it as her first car and she asked for my old CDs and that’s the latest one I can recall making.

    Crazy to think that 10+ years after I made that CD now my little sister is listening to it haha. And I was already listening to many cd mixes my mom and father had given to me over the years. That CD case probably has illegally downloaded music burned to CDs from over 25 years ago in it. Not to mention several actual CDs that are probably almost 50 years old at this point. My father loved the classics and after he ripped his entire library to cram into his digital magic box he let a lot of the physical CDs go to his son’s. at least 1 or two ended up on that cd case of mine.





  • …did you read my comment at all? I very clearly stated that those are popular tourist destinations that people are still visiting all year round. As in people don’t find THOSE places too dangerous to visit why should they worry about america?

    Both of those places are significantly more dangerous than the overwhelming majority of America as I very clearly explained in the rest of my comment.

    I don’t think you read my comment at all. If you did you certainly didn’t understand anything I said.

    Try again.


  • What that data fails to properly explain is that outside of a few counties you are basically never going to see a gun homicide in the US. The city I live in has some of the highest gun crime in the country, but it is almost exclusively in a few small areas that tourists would never really go anywhere near.

    Of our yearly gun homicides ~82% of it is African Americans killing other African Americans. Often in gang related disputes in very specific areas in a couple of states.

    Depending on where someone is visiting they are likely much safer here than in many other countries on average.

    Statistics are a wonderful thing, but it’s important to fully understand the data rather than just applying that average to the entire united states without any nuance.

    Mississippi had a gun death rate of 29.6 per 100k in 2022.

    Rhode Island had a a gun death rate of 3.1 per 100k in 2022.

    Both those numbers include suicide by gun and suicide has outpaced homicide for at least the last 40 years.

    Another thing to note is that the USA over all has lower gun homicide rates today than back in 1970s.

    For comparison Jamaica had 44.7 gun death per 100k in 2022.

    The Bahamas had 28.5 per 100k in 2022.

    Plenty of people still feel comfortable traveling to those places year round.
