I think Pewdiepie is overall great. I mean, I think his humor has kind of run dry, and he's not really as funny or authentic in his Let's Plays as he was (but man did his Amnesia vids make me cry from laughter). I don't really understand why he gets so much hate. He's always seemed like a nice guy to me, reaches out to interact with his fans and have fun with them at cons and stuff, has been donating to charities for a long time now. It seriously confuses me on why he is hated - understandably his humor is super juvenile to some, and I guess he made a couple rape jokes in his amnesia playthrough (of the "ahhh please don't rape me, monster" sort, not about anyone else) - which he actually apologized for and said he wouldn't do any more - so I feel like I'm missing the hate reason? Is it just because he is overexposed on Youtube or something?

I personally just find him shrill and annoying. I prefer VideoGamesAwesome for my play thoughts.

I just love their set up and Canadianism.

[anarchicq]

Their set up is awesome. And yes, as a fellow Vancouverite, it gives me warm fuzzies just to watch them.

Even with all the Frage.

Overexposure is most of it, I think. I know I'd be infuriated by having him pushed down my throat if I hadn't somehow been able to completely fail to notice his existence until a few months ago and find him funny.

He's just obnoxious and part of the "Hey, comedy is just screaming and stupid voices, right?" sect of Internet humor. That's why I dislike him, at least. He's just... not funny. MONKEYCHEESE RANDUMB is pretty played out.

Also I'm butthurt that at this point he is the most well-known thing about the magnificent Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

I like him, but then I have watched only a small fraction of his vids and I'm not in youtube/LP fandom at all. I didn't even know he was that well known. Only found him last year because there was a bit in Amnesia that I couldn't get the timing right on and his LPs were the first to show up when I searched for a walkthrough. *shrugs*

TW: rape

[annethecatdetective]

It's not that he made rape jokes during his LP that makes me think he's absolutely an asshole, it's that when survivors say 'hey, this is intensely triggering', there is no honest apology. And when his fans jump on those survivors to make further rape 'jokes' and even threats, he doesn't step in to tell them that isn't cool, and may have contributed. I'm not as up on this story as some-- I never watched any of his LPs, myself, I just have friends who got fed up with how awful the comments sections would get if anyone voiced the slightest critique in terms of how hey, maybe shouting 'rape' repeatedly isn't a joke and maybe it can hurt/upset people.


There's nothing nice or decent about that. The nice/decent response would be to apologize-- even if you don't think you did something wrong, even if you believe the person is being too sensitive, it costs you nothing to say 'sorry'. Only a real asshole then says 'haha hope you get raped', and only a real asshole sees their fans have that response and doesn't shut it down by saying there's a line you shouldn't cross.

(I'm not really comfortable calling the 'apology' he issued that-- it really seemed like a 'no, I'm a good person' thing, very insincere and calculated for personal gain. But that's the only video I'm at all familiar with and the awfulness of most of his fans means I'm not likely to look at any of his other videos)
