The Christchurch shooter posted a manifesto on 8chan and shouted "subscribe to PewDiePie" before opening fire on the mosque, livestreaming the whole thing. The internet is 1000% a vehicle for right-wing radicalisation.

RIP my mentions, but also RIP the people murdered by the guy who yelled PewDiePie's name before he did it, so I guess nobody wins. Hooray.

People are dead in my city, so don't come to me with your disingenuous "he didn't mean it" or "it was just a joke." Normalising racism to millions of subscribers (many kids) has serious ramifications, which we're seeing borne out right now in the most horrific way possible.

Oh yes! Blame PewDiePie fans because THEY’RE the ones that pulled the trigger. Man who knew you figured it out!

>hipster glasses >verified on Twitter >writer >spewing idiotic nonsense on social media You're like a walking stereotype. Anyway, blaming PewDiePie for this is absolutely disgusting. Why don't you make an attempt at tackling this topic with, I don't know, some level of honesty?
-
Stop trying to turn every single fucking topic into something that ties into your personal politics. Say what you want about PewDiePie's sense humor, but don't try to put the blame on him or his fans. And especially don't have the selfishness to make this all about YOUR beliefs.

A classic tale of someone irrelevant using someone relevant to try and gain more relevance. Yawn, next.

Even a known edge lord made a joke about how ironic it is that dumbasses like you are blaming pewdiepie for a shooting just because the guy said subscribe to pewdiepie before doing it. Just because I say follow

hey guys lets not blame the shooter lets blame pewdiepie its 100% his fault
-
Exactly! Let’s fall into the trap that the shooter had wanted us to do. Fuck the literal person who shot the mosque down. Let’s scapegoat PewDiePie just cause he’s made some edgy jokes on the internet a couple of times. Seriously though, fuck you Todd and any other media outlets
