What the heck is a Pewdiepie?
I never heard of this guy until the Sargon of Akkad vs Patreon thing. Apparently, pewdiepie has more subscribers than anyone else in YouTube. I thought I was a pretty hip netizen so how could I not know this?

Well, mostly he's a goofball. Swedish, i think. But this is pretty hilarious:


I'll subscribe just to keep him #1.

I think his content is garbage but the dude makes millions from his channel so more power to him.

What did he do that was racist? I'm not familiar with him other than 1 or 2 videos.

perpetually making racist commentary and saying the n-word "cuz thats what gamers do" and then saying sorry - but only when people are offended or call him out on it.
