    he dint really accept his/or dealt with the consequences, he merely fled to japan to avoid and waited til all the drama died down, he mostly isnt on a redeeming arc, everyone just forgot about him.

      he dint really accept his/or dealt with the consequences,

      1. He publically apologized for it (no ukulele though, which is how you know it’s a fake apology)
      2. He didn’t do it again

      What else would you want him to do?

      And what consequences are you specifically talking about?

      I’ve never seen piewdiepie before his Linux journey. What did he do and what consequences does he deserve?

        He did/said a bunch of racist shit in videos/streams.

        In 2019 someone livestreamed themself committing a hate-crime/mass shooting, killing 51 Muslim people in New Zealand. The shooter began his livestream with “subscribe to Pewdiepie!”

        That seemed to be a rude awakening for Pewdiepie, and I believe that he’s stopped with the racist shit.

          Someone also defaced a holocaust memorial, but that just tangential, he was an integral part of the alt-right pipeline radicalizing normies

      Over the years I think I care less about some public apology or statement to accept that a creator has moved past old behavior (I assume you’re talking about the bridge, I don’t really follow PewDiePie).

      We see too many fake apologies and if it’s been some time, apologizing just gives an opportunity for viewers to dogpile when someone is trying to move past something.

      I think if it’s been a few years and he’s clearly shown to have grown past it, that’s enough for me. You never really know what a content creator’s private beliefs are just how they choose to use their public persona.

      People moved on long before he moved to Japan, or at least most people, there are still some that hate him for a mistake he made many years ago.

      People can change and grow up and deserve second changes, I grew up racist just because of my environment, but as I got older I grew out of that and saw that it’s wrong and hurts and divides people.

      Am I also unremarkable because of what I used to be like before my brain was fully formed?
