YouTube star PewDiePie, who is no stranger to controversy, has apologised for using a racist slur during a live stream gaming video.
Felix Kjellberg, or as most will know the YouTube Star PewDiePie, has apologised after blurting out the N-word during a heated live stream of PlayerUnkown Battlegrounds. In the video, titled “My Response”, Kjellberg apologises to fans who were offended by his comment:
“I’m not going to make any excuses as to why it happened because there are no excuses for it.”
Kjellberg also acknowledged that he was disappointed in himself for not having learned his lesson from past events, referring to the controversy surrounding anti-semitic content.
His apology comes after developer Campo Santo filed a DMCA notice on one of his video’s featuring the developer’s game Firewatch. Following suit, Year Walk developer Simogo also asked Kjellberg to take down video’s featuring their game as they would not like their content to be associated with him.
Kjellberg has vowed to improve himself for the sake of those that look up to him. While many might see his apology as too little too late, he should be commended for stepping forward and once again admitting he made a mistake.
My n**ga
He said the N-word!
Kyle Donovan let’s forgive him.
Fuck PewDiePie
and his racist ass gamergate fanboys
He probably listens to a lot of rap music.
He got the idiot part right.
Jealous that he’s making millions as a YouTuber?
Yeah… very ????
Well at least give him some credit for saying sorry man .. he had his years of youtubing but i mean this guy is still a big name in youtube industry .. what he did was super wrong but he made up for apologizing
When you stand to lose THAT much money, you learn humility very quickly
Exactly
Because words hurts peoples whittle feelings
Doesn’t matter what he says or does.. Atleast he is man enough to admit he was wrong and apologized.. And he is still the biggest Youtuber ever.. Haters gonna hate
We still on about this?
What’s funny is that you guys actually think he cares.
Lmao this. He said it to get all the feminazis to chill out. I bet most black people who watch his channel didn’t even give a shit.
I dont think anyone accidently uses a racial slur, hes obviously use to talking like that when the cam is off
I accidentally call my Provitas “whites” instead of crackers. It’s pretty embarrassing in public, but i don’t think anyone notices.
Lololol hahahah can only imagine heh
Well … it’s not like you can stop people from saying that stuff anyway
Bad Publicity is What Makes Famous People More Money.
Lololololololol the comments
Well hip hop keeps the word alive
Lol black people trying to take down a word that oppressed them for hundreds of years and only ended in 1969 and someone ANGRILY shouting “What a f***ing n****r!” are two different things.
Only 1969? That is almost 50 years ago. The world moves on and words should not have that great of an effect if your a grown up. Also as I said, blame hip hop culture for still using it
Suhayl Schroeder what he said wasn’t cool but it wasn’t racist… please look up what racist means
Did I say he was a racist? It’s not an okay word to use. In Sweden just 15 years ago a chocolate brand changed its name because it had the N word in it. I don’t think he’s a racist but retards that think I’ll just say certain words are find I laugh. I’ll tell you what, because words are words and people need to move on and all, go to a black majority area and call people K words, then try and explain how they need to get over it. Better yet, go to a gay club and call them faggots. I’m sure it will go well
Why would I shout the K word in a black majority area? Unless I want trouble that is. My point was that you can’t stay a victim forever, yes the past was terrible but we are living in the present
He’s not racist… he’s an idiot, two different flaws!
Because if we type out the real word some sensitive little manginas will have a fit
And you’re worried about their feelings? Good on you
Lol the marketing behind this … and people think his ganna get taken down… gif him all that money honey!
when people say pewds is racist but don’t even know the definition
The worst kind of people. Those who won’t even Google it first. Am I right?
What a shame
What did he say
Tyger?
He said “N**ga” while streaming a game on one of his vids. Now he’s *LITERALLY HITLER lol
Hahahahaha wtf…… we would be arrested :O
lol I can only imagine. We’d be thrown into the gulag and the keys destroyed ????
The fact that he has those two words/phrases in his vocabulary and has blurted it out on two separate occasions is enough evidence to suggest that it’s part of some dialogue he has had in the past. You can’t screw up so royally twice in quick succession and expect people to believe the “I’m not racist” stance. He may not be outright racist in terms of attacking any group, but using derogatory words such as those, which are insulting to those groups, is racist.
CONTEXT matters
Mr.pie was indeed an idiot note to self: people have their strengths but flaws as well.
Free publicity. Whoop woop!
He will only do it again
He’s a piece of shit man. Kla.
Either its racist for everyone or its racist for no one. None of this “we can say it, you can’t” bullshit.
Hes a human lol
This is stupid and useless. The N word, along with female derogatory terms B and H are so freely used and commonplace in Western society and media, so the last two generations use those words, not realising the negative/immoral/hateful context and origins of these words. That is not an excuse by any means, but that means if we are going to be consistent, those words should be completely removed from human language and thought. Like Morgan Freeman said, “Stop calling me a black man, and I’ll stop calling you a white man. That’s the start to ending rascism…”. Our media and artists also need to be held acountable.
Sorry, he’s been one for a while now.
Whatever. He’s an idiot but I hear that language all of the time in music and online
C’MON guys, he said he was sorry. If you heard the context it Wasn’t Racist
The fact this man is rich shows you that life ain’t fair
