    I’ve never seen piewdiepie before his Linux journey. What did he do and what consequences does he deserve?

      He did/said a bunch of racist shit in videos/streams.

      In 2019 someone livestreamed themself committing a hate-crime/mass shooting, killing 51 Muslim people in New Zealand. The shooter began his livestream with “subscribe to Pewdiepie!”

      That seemed to be a rude awakening for Pewdiepie, and I believe that he’s stopped with the racist shit.

        What racist things did Pewdiepie do/ say himself though? I don’t think it’s fair to attribute someone using his name to commit terrorism to him.

        Similarly the guy who shot trump was wearing a demolitionranch shirt.
