PDP...man, I remember disliking his screaming brand of nonsense a lot, but ever since the first nazigate I like him more and more. He fucks with the media uberfucks so nicely. And the cool thing is, his viewership grows so more and more people can actually see for themselves that he is obviously not a nazi or anything like that, and that media really are in for it for clicks only.

No, I wouldn't rage if Kotaku recommended the same channel. Pewd's recommended about 28 channels. I don't have time in my life to search through 2000 videos just to try and sling shit at somebody. Whoever did have the time has no fucking life.

I know little of PDP in general, and I am puzzled by a lot of the noise I've heard about these Nazi jokes. Is PDP joking different about Nazi / Holocaust, than say, the type of jokes you'll hear on a show like Always Sunny in Philly, Rick & Morty or South Park?

Careful man, don't want you slipping and falling off that pedestal of yours.
He's famous for ridiculing Fiver by using it to have two Indiabros hold up a "DEATH TO JEWS" sign. He's mockingly included Nazi references in follow-up videos because he's a troll, and that's what trolls do. He also dropped an n-bomb streaming PUBG, which obviously upset a lot of people, and made him perpetually horrible for them.
I get the impression he does what he does (minus the n-bomb) for shits and giggles, and I'm sure he's stated as much on multiple occasions. It's incredibly easy, they always take the bait, and most importantly have repeatedly failed to de-platform him. To be frank, that's gotta feel amazing.
I don't buy into the idea that he's a Nazi,, a Nazi sympathizer, or a White Supremacist. I do think he's (willfully?) ignorant to the fact that a certain percentage of his viewership will see these jokes and think they're appropriate to make in real life because their favorite YouTuber does it.
He has never struck me as a malicious or hateful individual. I look at him and see a 29-year old manchild who caught lightning in a bottle, resulting in fuck you money and a laisser-faire attitude. He doesn't need to give a fuck at this point, as he can stop generating income tomorrow and live out the rest of his days comfortably.

Dude It’s a joke lol. People here frequntly discuss games that allow simulated mass murders. A joke about a 7 decade old atrocity isn’t going to cause anyone to bat an eye at the forums.

1) not a hate group
2) not in hot water, only in fantasy media land. The vast majority do not trust or care about the fake news media.

Why have they targeted him of all people?
LegendOfKage

He's a BIG target, and he has genuinely screwed up before. He owned his mistakes and apologized, but that's not enough for a lot of people. To be fair, his largest screw up was pretty darn big. He called a character in a game the N-word out of frustration, and then immediately defended his action afterward. After he calmed down, he did agree that was awful and that he didn't want to be that kind of person. I chalk some of it up to him being foreign, and a bit more removed from the kind of racism the US has seen, but it really was bad.
I know a fair amount of people here hate PC culture, but there is a line, right? I would hope most of us would agree saying something like that absolutely warranted an apology, and the people who don't want to hear him using racial slurs like that aren't just "SJWs"

I've been following E;R for a while now, and its pretty funny how the accuser site took his Nazi humour seriously. He makes great points in most of his videos, especially Steven Universe ones.
LegendOfKage
Member
Never heard of E;R until I saw this the other day, and it does suggest there might be more to his Nazi / Jewish humor. That's unfortunate if true.
See also this bit at the end. That bit from an actual white supremacist site is especially sad, and the existence of things like that make it easier for people to think "dogwhistles" and "I know what your jokes really mean" which just poisons things even more.

to be honest.. I did not really get the outrage over his Fiver stunt.
Testing how far u can go on Fiverr.. Getting Jezus to say ''Hitler did not nothing wrong''
lol its funny coz u can pay 5 bucks for someone dressed up as Jezus to say that on their platform. But it got him in to much trouble..
But yea lately hes been just true to himself and I love that his audience has grown and more and people who first hated him like him now

Oh yeah, I forgot about him dropping the N-word.
He should have apologized yeah but that's what he did, I don't understand the lack of forgiveness SJWs have, people make mistakes and do stupid shit.

Lol he only cared because of financial income and probably youtube policy's which are based around US value's. In his country probably nobody gives a shit.
EU is different then the US it doesn't share its culture and never will. The only thing it brings is there movies and music and frankly it doesn't help them at all with 9 out of the 10 singers saying the n word every 2 seconds in there music.
Saying the n word has little to no meaning here. You could stand in the middle of the city and say the word "neger" which is the dutch term for the n word and nobody gives 2 shits.
The N word only has meaning to people that specifically got teached it has meaning. Which here it doesn't happen at all. You say neger and people will think most likely at food.
When i grew up i was eating this: ( translation : nigger kisses )
While being dressed up like this:
b
I can totally see where he comes from. And frankly it's impossible to even discuss this subject with US people because they are so brainwashed by giving words idiotic meaning that no matter how hard you try it's useless.
He probably also didn't wanted to lose his US sponsors and US subscriptions which result him to apologize. I am 100% sure he didn't give a shit back then, and didn't give 2 cents about it now.
Now with large stakes going on in the internet space and giant firms making hella money that all lives in a bubble of good faith that can explode at any time for any reason, everybody needs to censure and dictate what people say in order to not get even the slightest negative association with them any way which could reduce there sponsoring and money income etc and eventually the downfall of there platform.
Freedom on the internet is no longer a thing, it becomes worse and worse year after year. And that's also why you see a lot of people making "mistakes" because they simple are in between a shift of cultures that they have no connection with.

Oh wow Danny O'Dwyer, as good a work as he does, really is a sanctimonious brainwashed moron, what a shame. Comparing PDP to literal baby pedophile..
What a hypocritical cunt, now with protected twitter.
I knew he was a fuckhead when he cheered for women losing their jobs when grid girls were disbanded, that was the time I canceled my patreon support of noclip. But this is something else.

So, GAF, is E;R a hate group or not and if yes, whom do they hate?
Wasn't he first attacked way before that incident?

ITT - somehow Holocaust jokes are OK with some GAF members. It's NOT ok.

Depending of the joke and the context a joke can be mean spirited or harmless
Besides pdp did not recommend a video where they play a holocaust joke
Recognize this tool by any chance?
I used to watch E:R content but stopped because even he Started to make me uncomfortable. That takes a lot. Their comes a point where you start living the gimmick...
But here's the thing. E:R content is really good and unless you are used to alt right lingo or watch certain videos, you would have no idea about E:R incredibly retarded political ideas. I don't think PDP inserted E:R to convert kids or whatever nonsense the verge and other leftists are spewing, I think he inserted E:R because he made, by far the best video skewering Netflix death note I saw anywhere online.
It's a shame, because I think E:R is talented as hell. I thought his Steven universe critique comparing fusion to sexual assault was inspired, but yeah...he is a fucking idiot. I'm glad PDP edited his video.

And what makes you the paragon of what is said and what is laughed at? I laughed at the end of E;R video about the Gems, does that make me a bad person now? How do you desided what is “NOT ok”. Like the poster above me stated. Context matters.

At least this site gives braindead dumbshits the right to say such things. That's at least a plus.
The problem with most Holocaust jokes is they're not left in the oven long enough and come out half-baked.

Its tradition. Also, Nigger Kisses lost their name a few years ago because.... it was deemed offensive.
But Jodenkoeken (Jew Cookies) are totally fine still.
Its also not creepy, but i can imagine it is for anyone unfamiliar with the tradition.
- If its wrapped in a cuddly package, its okay.
- If it is presented as a burn <- (hey look, also a bad pun about it!) it is okay.
- If it is presented as a quip - Eh, it might be okay.
- If you are geniune - Oh hell nah.

Yeah, I hate to say it but I can only assume it's because people have a literally racist attitude about him.
Not to mention that he's a gamer of course, so he's like, everything the left hates rolled into one.
