I just think it's pretty cool that Felix, who has never really mentioned anything Linux before, chose to go with a Linux distro for the PC he put together.

If he was a Nazi I don't think he'd be living in Japan. Furthermore, calling people Nazis when they're not Nazis really devalues the term. Be more intentional with your words.

be more intentional with your words

PewDiePie has a massive platform, and therefore has a greater responsibility to be intentional with his words.

While true, I haven't heard him dropping Nbombs for like 5 years at least.

This really isn't the defence you seem to think it is.

[–] hellofriend 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Here's my opinion: You say the N word, even as a joke, that's on you. And it'll stick to you like shit on a stick. But it's on me to give people the benefit of the doubt and think charitably of others. I'm not gonna write a person off because they said a slur. I believe people can change and want to see that change in the world. If I didn't then there wouldn't be any incentive for others to change. Fighting bigotry is about building bridges, not tearing them down.

Yeah okay, I agree with all that, but once someone has established a pattern of harmful behavior, it becomes dangerous and naive to assume that they've changed without any sort of evidence.

We don't get to just assume Felix is a changed man just because he has the self-control not to drop hard-Rs on stream anymore, but he has to actually disavow those past actions as something more than just a "heated gamer moment."
He has to disavow the members of his fanbase who do believe that sort of thing is okay and that he's their guy because he'd say and do stuff like that.
He has to actually do something to show people he's better.

LO fucking L...

Do you not know who the Nazi's allies were?

[–] hellofriend 9 points 16 hours ago

If you think that has any relevance today then you're kidding yourself. Had the Axis won the war then Germany and Japan would be at eachothers' throats by now. Any alliance Nazi Germany had was one of convenience. They didn't honour their agreements. See: Russia.

If you're looking for Nazis, look to America.

Ah yes, Japan, a country famous for its hostility towards nazis 🙄

Your spine must be in pretty bad shape, what with it having to support a head comprised entirely of bone.

[–] hellofriend -2 points 16 hours ago

Do you actually think that two imperialist ethnostates would coexist for any meaningful amount of time? Do you truly think that Nazis actually saw the Japanese as "honourary Aryans"? Political jabbering to maintain good relations. A racist is a racist is a racist and Nazis hated anyone lacking blonde hair and blue eyes.
