Everyone is talking about PewDiePie.

I initially assumed this was just a troll. There was a big backlash against it on social media. He came out and announced this afternoon with a new video that he was rescinding the $50,000 donation.

Popular streamer PewDiePie backs out of $50k donation to the insidious anti-free speech, anti-white ADL.

PewDiePie pulls $50,000 pledge to Jewish anti-hate group after fan backlash https://t.co/moqWiMtp46 pic.twitter.com/Ej6WWVi7qH — The Verge (@verge) September 12, 2019

I’m not sure what to think.

Was this ever a real thing? I tend to believe it was always a troll. I can see why PewDiePie doesn’t want his brand and YouTube channel to be associated with mass shootings though after the Christchurch and Poway synagogue shootings. The jacket he is wearing though is typical Felix.
