He grew up on the internet during the wild West period, with that being his point of reference for social acceptability. He didn't evolve with the rest of the internet as more diverse groups and more 'moral' groups changed what was acceptable.
His three major incidents were saying the n word, wearing an SS uniform when doing a response video to an article writer that called him a Nazi, and getting some fiverr people to write a sign that said 'kill all jews' by taking advantage of the fact they apparently didn't speak English. He's apologized for all but the middle multiple times and essentially left most of the internet after having his kid.
But since we're in the era of the internet we're in, nothing is ever forgotten or forgiven no matter what, and with the rise of actual Nazis across the world anyone that ever made edgy jokes or used inappropriate language has generally been swept up in it.
That all being said he's not exactly a great person, despite his massive charity work, he's just another entertainer, like all the rest. No better or worse than your average random person that got money and wealth way too young.
My dude, the Internet he grew up in wasn't the wild west. You make it seem like anything pre-2016 was the wild west when it absolutely was not. He absolutely knew what he was doing, just because he chose to associate with a certain culture doesn't absolve him of what happened because of it. You could, AND STILL CAN, go find communities that are like what he was about..
You're doing a lot of revisionist history for a grown ass man doing grown ass shit.
Uhh so I am pretty sure he mentioned it was a British military uniform, which made him lose it when they put him in the article for being a nazi because they just needed him to look the part.
Not defending anything but he did have receipts stating it was a British military uniform/costume
i have also heard this. however it does not matter. his response to being called a nazi was to invoke nazi imagery by wearing a military uniform. so he did not refute the claim, but played along. not something you do if you don't want people to call you a nazi. and even if you don't care, allowing it to continue around you is bad.
(not directed at you josh)
All good, just stating he wasn't wearing an SS uniform
Okay the others are pretty bad but this one is actually funny.
