PewDiePie: When Getting Out of Pocket Goes Wrong

*Posted September 15th, 2017* Over the weekend, the most watched YouTuber around the world, PewDiePie (real name Felix Kjellberg), called another player a “fucking nigger” in front of millions of viewers. This is the kind of thing our we’ve got big opinions about, especially when it happens from a stage that big. Frantz and Anissa discuss the ins-and-outs of the situation. Video of Incident In Question (includes nervous belly laugh after the fact)

Frantz: Yeah, he done fucked all the way up. I heard about it through the ether but decided I should check in with (quoted from @enmanuelwrites) “the last place justice still exists: Black Twitter.” It was there that I got confirmation that Swedish-born PewDiePie (who’s real name is Felix, so I’ma call his mark ass Felix) said, “What a fucking nigger” describing the play of his opponent while streaming a last-man-standing match in the Playerunknown shooter, Battlegrounds. Anissa: Felix has since released a 1:36 length video apologizing for his comment. He claims he hates when other people use that language when gaming and he’s upset that he fell into that. To make matters worse, he says it’s something that “slipped out.” FJ: There’s wild levels to why Felix ain’t shit. One of those levels is how many fucking times your boy got off with being a trifling jackass on one of the most public forums in THE WORLD. He’s used “retarded”, “gay”, and “nigga” in the past. Now he can add “nigger” to the derogatory language he’s been streaming on…
