      Indeed, I looked it up and it seems he has said a lot of specifically antisemitic stuff over the years

        I don’t think he is or was a nazi. I think he made lots of dark fucked up jokes like many other major youtubers. For example: iDubbzz, Filthy Frank, and h3h3. I think he regrets it like many of his fans who laughed at those dark jokes. I laughed at lots of fucked up shit I find very distastful now. People grow up, people change.

        Funny thing about that: it doesn’t actually matter what he intended or if he self-identifies as a Nazi or not; the shit he did radicalized people into Nazis all the same.

        I mean, they fucking named the phenomenon after him, so it’s hardly as if he’s a marginal example of it!

            Agree with you. Yeah Pewd has said some iffy things in the long long past like that bridge incident, but he did change and he is an amazing person overall.

            It’s easy to judge a person nowadays for 1 misshap or act, but please be more thorough.

      Incorrect. A Nazi is a person who sincerely believes that there should be no individual freedom and that whole races should be exterminated. This, by contrast, was a standard-issue millennial ignoramus who said some silly things and then regretted it. There is a difference.
