Locking the thread before it gets worse. This is not the place to level potentially defamatory accusations against a person. Take that shit back to twitter.
I didn’t even know this dude was still around, let alone any sort of relevant
Reddit ass post
The year of the Linux distro will soon be upon us
Pewds will soon discover Kenny and Luke Smith 😂. Linux is in vogue right now
He’s getting really well into the Linux and FOSS rabbit hole. And he’s also serving as a “celebrity role model” for people interested in switching to Linux. This can have lots of potential!
Gross
As much as we may disagree with Felix and his decisions, I can’t help but see the potential value of one of the most popular internet celebrities in the world pushing the “Linux is just as good as windows now” narrative.
It’s gonna push more devs to click that enable Proton button a lot more often, they wouldn’t wanna lock their game off of one of the biggest YouTube channels in the world now would they?
For me, if the year of linux desktop requires a piece of shit then I’d rather it just not happen at all.
There’s plenty of pieces of shit before and after PewDiePie that have contributed to the popularity(or even existence) of Linux, just because they might be morally questionable doesn’t negate their potential usefulness to a good cause.
Oh boy!
For example Richard Stallman
When was the last time you checked in on Felix and his actions? I personally haven’t in at least 9 years, back around when he started getting heat for his less “friendly” statements.
Do you know, with absolute certainty, that he still holds those beliefs and still acts according to them?
He’s done nothing to make me believe he’s changed.
Less friendly statements is a hell of a Trumpian way to say racial slurs.
This is the extent that I’m familiar with PewDiePie so i assume he is a turd if even Shawn thinks he’s bad.
Isn’t he the guy that went to a Japanese forest known for where people go to commit suicide and just laugh?
Edit: down votes because I can’t tell terrible YouTubers apart?
No, but he does have a history of racism and supporting/promoting white supremacists.
Wasn’t that Logan Poul?
No
