One of YouTube ’s large stars is in trouble again for puddle racist input , asPewDiePieuses the n - parole in a livestream ofPlayerUnknown ’s Battlegrounds . This is far from the first time that the abrasive and controversial gamer has been telephone out for racist doings on the streaming site , either . Earlier this year , PewDiePie come under fire for multiple anti - Semite videos , let in two men bear a sign reading " Death To All Jews " , cartridge clip of Hitler and animated swastikas , and a cartridge clip of a man claim " Hitler did nothing haywire " .
The YouTuber later took the go against telecasting down , and responded to the allegations by enjoin " I am in no way affirm any variety of hateful attitudes . … I make video for my audience" . However , many felt that he was defending himself rather than justify and that his behavior was n’t excusable - include Disney ’s YouTube web , Maker Studios , who send away the starafter the controversy , and YouTube , who removed him from their scripted video channel . Now , he ’s back in the headline for another racist aspersion and it ’s turning even more people in the gambling manufacture against him .
On Sunday , a video surfaced express PewDiePie playingPlayerunknown ’s Battlegrounds , a livestream Let ’s Play video recording . At one power point in the gameplay , PewDiePie is shoot on a bridge , and when another case does something that tump over him , he split out with"what a f - ing n - watchword , jeez , oh my god , what the f- ? What a f - ing asshole " . The clip was quickly recorded and post to multiple channels , where it was seen by game developer Sean Vanaman , who lash out with a promise to charge take - down notice on any videos of PewDiePie playing his games .
We ’re filing a DMCA takedown of PewDiePie ’s Firewatch content and any future Campo Santo games . — Sean Vanaman ( @vanaman)September 10 , 2017
I ’d press other developers & will be reaching out to folks much large than us to cut him off from the content that has made him a milionaire — Sean Vanaman ( @vanaman)September 10 , 2017
In the tweet thread , the co - founding father of Campo Santo and God Almighty of Firewatch called PewDiePie"a propagator of ugly garbage that does tangible damage to the civilisation around this industry " , and urged other game developers and studios to also file take - down notices . Brianna Wu , another plot developer , also hit back at PewDiePie for his latest antiblack behavior , pointing out that it ’s entirely potential to get worked up over a video recording game without using racist slurs .
RT if unlike PewDiePie , you do n’t jump randomly screaming racial blot while playing videogames . — Brianna Wu ( @Spacekatgal)September 10 , 2017
Of naturally , there are plentitude of people quick to hold the YouTuber , lay claim that he spoke in the heat of the moment and pointing out that emotion run high for most gamers . Ian Miles Chongcalled Vanaman ’s response"a pure abuse of DCMA [ right of first publication takedown]“and scathingly refers to it as"punitive social justice”,as PewDiePie ’s videos are original content .
While those in the video secret plan industry may debate the merit ( and legality ) of resilient cyclosis and playthroughs , this latest racial slur is potential to ache PewDiePie ’s vocation even more . After the argument over his anti - Semitic videos broke , the gamer made a percentage point of seek to distance himself from the far right and Nazi beliefs , but this late video is sure to work against that . In other industry , this kind of behavior would often lead to dismissal from the work , but when creating online content , there is no - one to ' fire ' PewDiePie , unless the sites that he uploads to determine to ban him for the use of this language - or if Vanaman has his way and game companies forget him from uploading video of him playing their game . Whether either of those matter happens remains to be date , and in the interim , we can expect some form of response from PewDiePie to this latest arguing soon .
