Youtubular Conversations | Blaming Media – PewDiePie’s Response
Is PewDiePie A Antisemitic Racist Neo-Nazi?
Major articles continue to come out about PewDiePie – often reporters responding to his taken-down of their prior stories
The real issue seems to be that nuance, thoughtfulness, and consideration is dead.
We live in a world of snap judgments, gut feelings, and expressions that are rather starkly black or white.
Below links to Vox, Forbes and Variety, etc.
Clearly it would seem like PewDiePie hasn’t taken any professional advice here (but who knows).
Is this really a crisis for him?
For the last 30 days he has a net gain of about 808K+ subscribers, gaining 26k each day on average. He has only lost about 400k of his 53 Mil. subscribers. Imagine you had been dropped by Disney and down-graded by Google/YouTube and you gained 800k+ subscribers? Hardly a crisis – perhaps a reason to even celebrate.
Does someone who speaks for themselves need council?
It’s very clear to me that there is a new generational gap here. Not between the Great Generation and the Boomers but rather between 20-somethings (and those younger) and everyone else.
I very much believe this is a generational issue
When we think about youthful folks getting there news from social media, and Felix (PewDiePie) goes all in on bias and persecution from the mainstream media – this adds serious support to similar claims from the Republican administration, and various fringe groups.
This way to the Egress –> (for our society) – PT Barnum (& Harry Hawk)
PT Barnum, Trump and many others have used hyperbole and puffery rather than nuance. It makes for great entertainment even if something isn’t literally “the greatest show on Earth.”
I can’t imagine PewDiePie’s stakeholders coming to any other conclusion than the media is evil — despite the following links which rather clearly show that Felix has exaggerated his case.
That’s entertainment
