a shooter who targeted muslims made a “subscribe to pewdiepie” joke before murdering innocent people but… sure… pewdiepie isn’t a white supremacist who intentionally made a white supremacist fanbase feel safe, normal, or anything else like that

no

not at all

it’s important to recognize how “casual” white supremacy played as a joke plays a definitive role in the radicalization of these white men who go on to murder innocent people. it’s never just a joke because even if it’s somehow “just a joke” to the person saying it, there will always be someone who does not take it as a joke but rather takes it as validation of their hateful views.

white supremacy and all talk of genocide can never be a joke in that manner.

pewdiepie had a hand in this tragedy. there is blood on him, his channel, and, if it truly was just a joke, on his conscience for the rest of his life.
