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?

      Can we reserve that word for actual Nazis that want to commit genocide, not edgy 15-year old like personalities?

      What he did with the sign was arguably very cringe, but it’s pathetic to compare that to someone who actually believes X group of people deserve to die.

      If we label everyone a Nazi, the word means nothing and when actual Nazis show up(they are) we’re fucked.

        We reserve it for the “hitler did nothing wrong” crowd.

        I don’t care if it’s edgy or ironic or earnest because I have no way to know that. Also, if you fuck goats just to be edgy you’re still a goat fucker.

        PewDiePie is the most basic kind of cryptofascist hiding behind a veil of edgy humour and he should not be welcome in the open source community

        You will find two major incidents. The bridge incident where he said the n-word in PUBG and a edgy joke where he tried to see how far Fiverr creators would go and asked for a video of people to write “Hitler did nothing wrong” on a sign. He apologized and condemned the behavior for both.

        To me it seems like the source of a lot of the negative quick opinions come from a bad article WSJ did on him.

          He’s also promoted the books of fascist talking heads like Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, and Steven Crowder through his book club.

          There’s a reason the Christ Church shooter yelled “Subscribe to PewDiePie” besides being a topical meme.
