Me: hey this meme looks like it's become a vehicle for hate & should be critically examined

Pewds fans: HOW DARE YOU

Pewdiepie: puts out a video saying the meme has gone to far & become something used to fuel hate so it should be ended

Fans: yeah you're right, so brave of you

All of a sudden now that he said the meme is an issue and carries danger with it that's an opinion you're allowed to express, which like, is the most unsurprising thing ever, but it's still disappointing.

Keep in mind that in the wake of Christchurch people got REAMED on twitter for daring to suggest that this meme was causing harm, utterly dogpiled, and now Pewds has come out to say the same thing so it's correct now.

The funniest part of the video tho is when he says, "I don't think anyone could have predicted what happened at Christchurch," when like....no, no people literally looked at the culture surrounding the Sub To Pewds movement and said it was leading to a disaster; they predicted it

goddamit, that's two days in a row where i've typo-ed "too" as "to" lmao

HOLY SHIT the pewds defense squad works fast!

Do they just name search him on twitter after he posts videos to defend him rabidly or something?

This is the point that most Pewds fans are snowflaking over, so let me clarify for them

There was an observable trend of far-right politics congregating around the Sub To Pewds movement. People DID observe that, and DID logically predict that it would lead to tragedy.

You don't get to complain about how unfair of them it was to think things were going that way......when it's literally happened twice already, and when Pewds himself called for the meme to be cancelled because of the acts that it's been invoked during.
