Always knew pewdiepie was an obnoxious twat. Glad to see it further confirmed, as well as being a racist POS. His antisematic thing looks even worse now.
Fame doesn't make one any less of a fool, I suppose.

I don't consider myself Pewdiepie fan. I have watched some of his videos, but I don't actively follow his content.
What I aimed to do was to show you how the critique or, in this case slander, you apply on him can be applied on you just as easily. Calling people racist "POS" isn't going to stop racism, it's sort of a "crybully tactic".
As far as I know the (mainstream) media was rather interested in Pewdiepie when he made the "nazi joke". So it's not like the actions of public figures are ignored. Heck, some Youtubers have even been arrested based on the video evidence they themselves provided. Then there are people who raise awareness. Let's say someone is advocating for ban on whale-hunting. Does this person achieve their goal by yelling how whale-hunters are stupid a-holes?
You are correct on that judging serves a purpose in improving. However, that alone is not what fuels improvement or change. There's more to exchange of ideas than judging. Simply put, exchange of ideas and revolutionary inventions are means of improvement. I'm sure you're aware of this, but just to be sure:
"Earth is flat."
"No it's not you idiot. Go in a hole and die." vs. "Actually, based on current evidence it's not flat at all. It's round."
The difference here is painfully obvious, but I'm merely providing an example.
Good for you for calling him out. With that said, I think your use of insults didn't do you any favors. It made you look like you decided to vent out in a fit of anger. There's a difference between arguing emotionally and emotional arguments (arguments based on emotion).

If someone is telling you the earth is flat in 2017 despite widespread scientific evidence proving it's not, logic and understanding is not going to persuade them lol. They don't believe the world is flat because of scientific proof, they believe the world is flat DESPITE evidence of it not being so. The scientific facts are "wrong" and whatever little fantasy world they've created for themselves is what truly matters, and everyone else are just blind to the truth or whatever. There's a reason flat earth truthers often believe in other crazy conspiracies and have bizarre beliefs or political views. They're past the point where reasoning and logic is going to work, sad to say.
A lot of racists still believe certain races are sub-human/don't have souls/whatever, despite scientific evidence showing otherwise(well not for souls of course lol, we don't even know if those exist!). While some bigots can definitely be persuaded away from their beliefs, there's a slice who frankly don't care about any of that and from my experience dealing with them bigots think more emotionally anyway with the only "science" they're interested in being psuedoscience and statistics that support their worldview. You think those guys at charlottesville were willing to sit down and have nice long talk? Nah, they were very much racist POS(I surely hope you're not going to get at me for calling THOSE guys that lol) who frankly don't care about anything that doesn't support their own racist worldview. I feel you misjudge the importance of logic and knowledge in most people's everyday lives or worldviews. Just look at the internet, access to information like never before in any point of history. You'd think we'd all be geniuses, but alas, we have people still believing in flat earths and social darwinism.
Now I'm not equating Pdp to those charlootesville guys, at least he hasn't shown himself that level of depravity thus far, but am making the point that such beliefs and behavior cannot always be turned from via logic and reasoning since they are at their basis counter logical in the first place. Pdp is a 27 year old, same age as me, he's well old enough to know that intentionally calling people *****rs(cuz he mad!) is a shitty, racist thing to do and knows very well he's going to be judged as a shitty, racist person because of it. Now from what he does here on is up to him, and being young he's got plenty of time to redeem himself, but as of now, I feel any "outrage" and criticism directed towards him is very well deserved, especially when you take him being a "face of youtube" As for getting mad at him doing this, why exactly is this a bad thing? It seems pretty normal to get mad at someone being a racist(especially aggressively), and to somehow equate this to being as bad as being racist itself or somehow looking bad itself seems rather silly.
What gets me moreso than his actual act are the people trying to downplay it though(much like trump's supporters who tried to play down his blatantly racist crap), or even worse defend it. It shows a complete lack of accountability and it's pretty pathetic that people in 2017 are going to try and justify a white guy angrily calling someone a fucking n*****r simply cuz he mad. People have and are in every right to get mad at him, call him a racist, a twat, an idiot, a buffoon, etc. He knows this, and what he does next or how he comes out of this will either prove them right even more or give him the opportunity to improve as a person and prove he's not the fool he's currently now.

Also, Eagle sucks your neighborhood is being torn apart, but like is the world gonna stop and nothing else matters now? Plus you know it's just not a bad word, shit is just a bad word, and had he called the guy "a fucking shit" no one would care. You're definitely falling into the downplaying thing, though in your shoes I can see why it's not a big deal to you atm so I'm not as bothered as the ones in the paragraph above.
But no really man, hate that you're suffering through that storm. Nasty stuff, how long are you in the shelter?

TIL Nature can be disappointing because I didn't see much hype in the eclipse. I didn't even notice when it happened :/

Anybody still believing the fantasy that all sides are as equally bad/to blame as the other needs to take a nice, good look at what happened in Charlottesville and face reality that, no, there is ALWAYS a worse side or a worse option and that by condemning everyone, you only further empower those people. And screw Trump and his supporters since this is yet another awful consequence of his actions.
-
Unless I'm mistaken, you seem to claim Trump and his supporters are to blame for what happened. I don't think they are directly at fault for actions of (probably) mentally unstable or disturbed individual. There's a difference between a person using something to justify their actions and someone being encouraged to do something. I don't approve of attacks like this, but I don't approve fallacies like this either.
