MAKER STUDIOS, WHICH IS OWNED BY DISNEY, AND YOUTUBE HAVE CUT
SOME OF THEIR TIES WITH PEWDIEPIE.
MAKER STUDIOS HAS COMPLETELY CUT ITS TIES WITH PEWDIEPIE, THE LARGEST YOUTUBER
AND THE MOST POPULAR YOUTUBER.
YOUTUBE ITSELF HAS DECIDED TO
ESSENTIALLY GET RID OF PEWDIEPIE AS A GOOGLE PREFERRED PARTNER AND
ALSO DID AWAY WITH HIS YOUTUBE RED PROGRAM.
IT WAS AN ADDITIONAL WAY FOR HIM TO GAIN REVENUE THROUGH YOUTUBE.
WHY?
WHY WOULD THEY SEVER TIES WITH THE MOST POPULAR YOUTUBER?
THERE HAVE BEEN ACCUSATIONS AGAINST HIM AND SOME OF HIS VIDEOS
INDICATING THAT THOSE VIDEOS HAD ANTI-SEMITIC MESSAGES AND
IMAGERY.
TO GIVE YOU SOME MORE DETAILS ON THAT, LET ME READ TO YOU
FROM THE WALL STREET JOURNAL: THEY REPORTED THAT SINCE AUGUST,
PEWDIEPIE HAS POSTED NINE VIDEOS THAT INCLUDE ANTI-SEMITIC JOKES
OR NOT THE IMAGERY ACCORDING TO A REVIEW THAT THEY DID.
PEWDIEPIEíS ACCOUNT ALSO TOOK DOWN 3 VIDEOS WITH A TOTAL
OF ABOUT 23 MILLION VIEWS.
IN THE JANUARY 22 VIDEO, PEWDIEPIE SHOWED A MAN DRESSED AS
JESUS CHRIST SAYING, HITLER DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG.
I THINK THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMELS BACK WAS A RECENT VIDEO
WHERE HE USED THIS APP CALLED FIVER WHERE YOU PAY
PEOPLE FIVE DOLLARS OR SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY TO DO ANYTHING.
HE HIRED TWO INDIAN MEN TO HOLD A SIGN THAT READ DEATH TO
ALL JEWS.
AT THAT POINT, DISNEY WAS LIKE, WE ARE DONE.
OF THE ACTORS SUSPENSION, PEWDIEPIE SAID IN A LATER VIDEO,
THIS IS IN REGARD TO THE JESUS VIDEO, ISN'T IT IRONIC THAT
JEWS FOUND ANOTHER WAY TO FUCK JESUS OVER?
JESUS.
THERE'S MORE, AND I WILL GET TO MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE
OTHER VIDEOS THAT HE HAS PUT UP, BUT HE SAYS LOOK, I AM
KNOWN FOR JOKING AROUND AND MAKING CRUDE COMMENTS.
I DON'T HAVE A HATEFUL BONE IN MY BODY.
THIS IS AN OVERREACTION AND NONETHELESS, I UNDERSTAND THAT
IT IS OFFENSIVE AND THAT IS WHY YOU TOOK THREE OF THE
VIDEOS DOWN, BUT HE IS DENYING THAT HE HAS ANY
ANTI-SEMATIC INTENTIONS AND DOING THESE VIDEOS.
THIS IS A COMPLICATED ISSUE.
FIRST OF ALL, THAT IS A LOT OF MONEY HE JUST LOST AND SO
THE PENALTY IS VERY SEVERE.
I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT OF IT.
YOU MIGHT THINK THAT IS PERFECTLY JUSTIFIABLE, I'M
JUST LETTING YOU KNOW, IT IS NOT A SLAP ON THE WRIST.
IN TERMS OF WHAT HE DID, WHY IT'S WRONG AND WHAT OUR
REACTION SHOULD BE.
I THINK I WANT TO BELIEVE IN, I HAVEN'T WATCHED ALL NINE VIDEOS.
I HAVE KEEP IT REAL WITH YOU GUYS BUT I WOULD BE SO SURPRISED
IF HE INTENDED TO BE ANTI-SEMITIC.
I BRIEFLY MET HIM AT A YOUTUBE EVENT, NOT ENOUGH TO KNOW
HIM AND KNOW HIS SOUL, SO I HAVE NO IDEA BUT I WOULD BE
SUPER SURPRISED BASED ON THE FACT THAT HE BASICALLY IS
DOING A LOT OF COMEDY, HE LIKES TO PUSH THE ENVELOPE.
HE LIKES TO PUSH IT TOO FAR, IN MY BRIEF INTERACTION WITH HIM.
I THINK I BELIEVE HIM, THAT HE DOESN'T MEAN TO BE ANTI-SEMATIC.
ON THE OTHER HAND, WHY IS HE WRONG ABOUT THIS?
WHY DO I THINK HE WENT THE WRONG DIRECTION HERE?
BECAUSE I THINK THAT AT THIS POINT WE ARE FAR AWAY
ENOUGH FROM THE HOLOCAUST THAT PEOPLE HAVE STARTED TO GET
DESENSITIZED TO IT.
LOOK, I HAVE READ A LOT INTO IT.
I TOOK A COURSE ON IT IN LAW SCHOOL AND I WAS REALLY LUCKY, I
HAD ONE OF THE PROSECUTORS AT NUREMBERG WHO TAUGHT ME SO I SAW
THE EVIDENCE AND I HAVE BEEN READING UP ON IT COINCIDENTALLY
RECENTLY AND WHEN YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENED THERE, IT IS SO
HORRIFIC THAT ONCE YOU HEAR THE STORIES, IT BECOMES LUCKILY
IMPOSSIBLE TO JOKE AROUND ABOUT IT.
ONE THAT I SHARED ON HERE RECENTLY, SORRY IF THIS IS
GOING TO OFFEND YOU, BUT I HAVE TO TELL YOU WHY PEOPLE GET
SO SENSITIVE TO THIS.
I THINK MOST PEOPLE KNOW, BUT A LOT OF YOUNGER PEOPLE DON'T
KNOW WHY.
WHY CAN'T THEY MAKE THE JOKE?
WHEN THEY FIRST STARTED TESTING THE GAS CHAMBERS, THEY BUILT
CONCRETE REALLY THICK BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT THE GAS COMING
OUT AND ACCIDENTALLY KILLING THE NAZIS OR OTHER PEOPLE AROUND,
BUT THE GAS WOULD TAKE 20 MINUTES OR LONGER TO KILL THE
PEOPLE INSIDE THE GAS CHAMBER AND IT WAS SO HORRIFIC YOU COULD
HEAR THEM SCREAMING ANYWAY.
THEIR NAIL MARKS WOULD BE IN THE CONCRETE AND THEN THEY WOULD
TAKE OUT THE BODIES AND USE THEM TO PROVIDE HEAT FOR THE CAMP AND
PEOPLE KNEW THAT IT WAS THEIR FRIENDS THAT WERE PROVIDING
HEAT FOR THE CAMP.
WHEN YOU HEAR STORIES LIKE THAT, YOU GET THAT NONE OF THIS
IS FUNNY.
IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD STORIES LIKE THAT AND YOU HAVEN'T
BEEN EDUCATED TO WHAT HAPPENED IN THE HOLOCAUST, THEN AT
SOME POINT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO START TO MAKE JOKES AND NOT
REALIZE HOW INAPPROPRIATE IT IS.
I THINK THAT, I HOPE THAT IT IS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR PEOPLE
AND THERE ARE SOME LINES YOU SHOULDN'T CROSS THY DOESN'T MAKE
YOU COOL, IT DOESN'T MAKE YOU EDGY.
IT JUST MAKES YOU A JERK.
AND REALLY INSENSITIVE.
I AM JUST GIVING YOU CONTEXT ON THAT AND AT WHAT POINT SHOULD
YOU LEVEL THIS KIND OF PUNISHMENT AND CONSEQUENCES FOR
PEWDIEPIE WHEN WE THINK HE DIDN'T INTEND TO BE THIS
OFFENSIVE.
THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION BECAUSE ONE LEAST THING THAT IS
IMPORTANT.
IF YOU START SAYING IT AND SOME PEOPLE KNOW YOU ARE JOKING BUT
OTHERS DON'T, BY THE WAY, THE DAILY STORMER WHICH IS A
NEO-NAZI WEBSITE HAVE NOW BECOME BIG FANS OF PEWDIEPIE AND THEY
DON'T GET IT, THEY THINK IT IS REAL.
SO NOW THEY ARE PROMOTING IT.
AT SOME POINT PEOPLE LOSE TRACK OF WHAT IS A JOKE AND WHAT IS
NOT A JOKE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT BECOMES ACCEPTABLE
TO PUT SIGNS LIKE THAT UP AND WE DON'T WANT TO NORMALIZE THAT.
IN REGARD TO WHAT YOU JUST REFERENCED WITH THE DAILY
STORMER, THEY APPARENTLY HAVE SHARED HIS VIDEOS ON THEIR
WEBSITE.
LET'S GO TO GRAPHIC 35, ON JANUARY 23,
THE SITE CHANGED IT;S MOTTO TO THE WORLD'S NUMBER ONE PEWDIEPIE
FANSITE AND THAT IS ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET ARCHIVE, CELEBRATING
HIM FOR MAKING THE MASSES COMFORTABLE WITH OUR IDEAS.
THAT RIGHT THERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART, BECAUSE IF YOU
DO NINE VIDEOS AND SOME PEOPLE KNOW YOU ARE JOKING AND SOME
DON'T AND THEY START TO THINK IT IS FUNNY OR CLEVER TO MAKE JOKES
ABOUT KILLING THE JEWS ARE PUTTING SWASTIKAS OR SUPPORTING
HITLER, YOU ARE STARTING TO NORMALIZE THEM AND THAT IS WHAT
WE ARE WORRIED ABOUT HERE IN THE US, THAT CASUAL RACISM HAS
BEGUN TO BE NORMALIZED.
THIS IS A WHOLE OTHER LEVEL.
AND GLAD WE'RE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION AND THAT
PEOPLE ARE LEARNING FROM THE EXPERIENCE.
WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN WITH THE YOUTUBER, IT'S NOT FOR ME
TO DECIDE.
THAT IS FOR HIM AND GOOGLE AND DISNEY TO FIGURE OUT.
I'M SURE THAT THEY WILL.
IT IS A TEACHABLE MOMENT AND
IT IS AN INTERESTING PHENOMENON AND WE SHOULD REMEMBER WHAT
HAPPENED SO THAT WE DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES AGAIN.
