With the defacing of a WW2 memorial by a fan of the youtuber, I’ve been thinking about this issue. His subreddit has also increasingly upvoted alt-right memes and talking points. He also follows Lauren Southern and Stephan Molyneux.

Has any breadtuber other than hbomb addressed this? Hbomb’s piece tried to avoid politics entirely, but I think it may be dangerous to ignore how he is legitimizing actual fascists, in addition to making antisemitic memes.

Edit: This has now been linked to in Pewdiepie's sub, expect the thread to go downhill.

Any Pewdiepie fans who think I am criticizing him because one of his stupid fans defaced that memorial, or that I'm calling him specifically a nazi or alt-right didn't even bother reading the 4 sentences of this post

Edit 2: With the reopening of this post I would like to compile various worrying things about Pewdiepie as found in this thread originally:

• Follows Lauren Southern and Stephan Molyneux on twitter, both of whom spread the white supremacist conspiracy theory known as "the great replacement", which was cited by the Christchurch Shooter.

• Also follows Paul Joseph Watson, alt-right talking head

• Hosted Ben Shapiro, another alt-right talking head

• Endorses Jordan Peterson, whose self-help books are largely a method of spreading his neo-reactionary political beliefs.

• His favorite author, Yukio Mishima, was an anti-marxist and fascist. He multiple times says he “fell in love with” Mishima’s ideas and was fascinated by learning about his life.

• Paid men to hold up a sign saying "Death to all Jews"

• Has let slip the gamer word in his second language on multiple occasions

• Often uses the vocabulary of the altright, words like libtard and "wahmen"
