Coming from someone who has never watched a single PewDiePie video, other than that one clip you’re mentioning…

I’m trying to see the positives here. It’s been a while since he said the n-word on that bridge, and right now he seems to be using his platform to do good instead. I want to think that this is a good step towards making up for past mistakes.

I agree with you they’re doing good by advocating linux and (eventually) turning their attention towards stop killing games.

I get that I’m being petty but I don’t believe their regret doing what they did back then. I’m kind of astounded they were able to get away with it.

I get it, I do, but he did in fact get away with it and still has a platform. I’d rather him use that platform for good than continue what he used to do

Not a Pewdiepie stan by any means, but how can you tell he doesn’t regret it? He apologized, and hasn’t (publicly) said the word in 8 years. (Had to look up the timeline, it’s been an insanely long 8 years)

And it very much does not excuse him saying it, but Sweden (and other European countries) don’t stigmatize the word nearly as much as we do in the US. Yes, it’s still an awful slur there, but not to the extent it is here. The number of stray N words I’ve heard when travelling in Sweden and Norway is crazy, compared to having never heard it publically (by a white person) in my entire life in the US. I live in a progressive state, but still. People like to think of Europe as less racist than America, but anecdotally, they are significantly more racist.
