Pewds has been dabbling more in Linux and engineering content lately, and considering he’s essentially retired and doesn’t rely on YouTube ad revenue anymore, wouldn’t it be amazing if he also started posting his videos on PeerTube in parallel?

He can definitely afford to support decentralized platforms and wouldn’t be held back by monetization concerns. With his reach, even just mirroring his content to PeerTube could bring massive attention to the Fediverse. Do you think he’d ever consider it?

    He paid some Indian guys in fiver to hold up a sign that said something like “death to Jews” or something like that. He didn’t think they would actually do it

    Doesn’t matter if he thought they would do it. Just coming up with the idea is enough to make it clear that he’s a tasteless piece of garbage, and that NOBODY should be parading him around as someone to emulate.

    People make mistakes. Some people learn from their mistakes. Some people learn from other’s mistakes. Some mistakes are so egregious, reflecting such abysmally poor judgement, that they should never be lived down, even if for no other reason than to serve as a warning, so that others may learn.

    That dip shit has made a lot of those mistakes. He shouldn’t be in the public eye anymore. He should be a productive member of society working as an assistant to the junior manager at an obscure toilet paper company.

    and he of course he laughed when they sent back the video of them dancing and holding up the sign.

    You left out the part where he then published it for all of his followers.

    In between having the idea that no respectable human being should ever have, to the point that he clicked “Publish” to send the video out to everyone, he had soooooo many opportunities for self reflection and a realization that that was a really fucking bad idea. Yet, he did it anyway.

      He was making a joke of Keemstar’s extreme racism with the Fiverr thing. But it was memed by others and context was lost.

      I’m not gonna bother arguing with you. We clearly have a fundamental difference of opinion when it comes to our ability to forgive past transgressions of others when we see personal growth and change from them.

      Have a good day.

        you wouldnt forgive someone for a past rape or murder would you?, and hate crimes is equally reprehensible.

          … Are you seriously implying that SAYING SOMETHING HATEFUL is on the same level as physically violating someone???

          I’ve been physically assaulted. I would choose hateful words every single fucking day.
