PewDiePie made a video on why he installed Linux and explained why everyone should do it too. Due to his number of followers, this might be the year of the Linux Desktop? Hooray?
Tasteless, immature, edgelord, yes. Actual fascist/Nazi, I don’t think so. I’ve never really watched his content. And I will say this. From what I’ve seen in recent years, he seems to have matured a bit.
I haven’t found him tastless in a long while. He seems to just be vibing living his own life at this point.
That’s generally my understanding as well at this point. That and he’s had a child. And seems to be making a somewhat serious attempt at parenting. And perhaps starting to look at a lot of this stuff through the eyes of a father
Having a kid/kids really does change a man. Or person. In many ways.
Yes it absolutely can. Here’s hoping he continues down that path.
Same. He really does seem a lot more chill nowadays since I last checked him out. Never was a follower but you can clearly see a difference between a single video like 5-10 years ago and this now.
Quite frankly, Nazi-adjacent is bad enough, especially when he’s made no effort to own up to the problems he’s caused. It seems like he very deliberately tries to skirt the line of plausible deniability.
I agree. That said he has shown some small signs of maturing. Hopefully someday he will do that. I agree it’s needed. I have a feeling as a young parent he’s going to learn all about imitatable acts. And hopefully he will understand and think better about them.
The bar for matured for someone with his history should be higher, especially in todays world.
Like making a video speaking against alt right edgelords and Nazis.
I didn’t say he was mature. I said he’s matured a little bit. I absolutely agree he should probably make some decent public apologies for the stupid s*** he’s done / said. But by the same token. When people do make progress no matter how small it is we can acknowledge it.
What’s with his history?
Used the n-word on stream, promoted alt-right content, and some other racist shit… Google it for details.
