Sounds like you've never read about "witch hunting". These journalists are just taking what he's done, putting it into context, and writing about it.
The man has suffered nothing this entire time. He makes millions.

The journalists in question are not reporting the nuance and context in their rush to burn the witch.
He's suggesting that, but it is extremely unlikely that he didn't know.
> nce that was pointed out, he removed the shoutout from his video.
Sounds like the journalists are doing their job.

It seems like it's quite the opposite most of the time, which is the reason for the backlash against the articles.
1. Commissioned someone for 5 dollars to hold up a sign stating "Death to all jews"
2. Published the footage upon seeing it to an impressionable young audience, without putting why it'd be wrong to do into context. And thought this was an okay thing to do.
That's all that was reported on. And rightfully so.
I find it very sad that I get warned for "ideological posting" and yet quillette is a source allowed on here; easy to spot what ideology they support by their mention of Ben Shapiro as some sort of idol: reactionary. (If you're not convinced, find their sidebar for feminism bashing)
You should really reconsider if your own bias is distorting your moderation policies, dang.
I'm Jewish and I'm open to criticizing decisions and behavior that make light of anti-Semitism, but classifying someone as a racist, Nazi, or white supremacist should have a higher standard.
PewDiePie has commented quite a few times on this, but I’ll loop you in.
1. He was, in a satirical bit, showing what people were offering as services on Fiverr. As a result of this, he was surprised about what people were willing to do, and wanted to push it to the limit. He expected his request to get rejected, but it actually got approved and the guys did the sign—proving the point that people are basically willing to do anything for $5.
2. Have you even seen the video? You’ll honestly have to be the most clueless person on earth to not see that he is quite clearly not thinking this is okay, not is he condoning what they did, but it is still a very relevant thing to showcase what people are willing to do.
> An ironic nazi is still a nazi. No matter how you turn this...
Sure...if he was even remotely a nazi...Are you aware that what you are doing is actually doing a service to actual bro-nazis and a disservice to people trying to deal with actual problematic people? Desensitising people like this, means they won’t take the serious cases, well, seriously. Ever heard of the boy that cried wolf?
"DEATH TO ALL JEWS"
on a banner for 5 bux is some sort of capitalism critique and not a spectacle to get views, I don't know what to tell you.
I guess I can leave you with this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjNILjFters
whats wrong with the quillette and ben shapiro? arent you showing your bias here?
"Satire" has a meaning - A Modest Proposal wasn't Swift going "haha what if we ate babies"
You're saying that as if a post unopposed is neutral, and opposition is "taking a side" and therefore showing bias. It's not. There is no neutral here. The article poster has taken a side and the moderation team has too, even if it's just a slight pro.
I can say a lot about Shapiro, few things good. But I've been told to keep away from this sort of flame war and I'm convinced if you're willing to change your mind you can seek out the information I'd provide easily on your own.
