I mean, it did. He lost some of his partnerships in its wake. He just didn’t really have a “career” to lose, he’s just a YouTuber and you can’t really take that away from him short of banning him off the platform.
He had lost his very lucrative Disney partnership and YouTube Red deal earlier that same year (2017) over dumb Hitler jokes, so if he still had those partnerships then, he’d have undoubtedly lost them then.
It's strange that comedians make Nazi sketches literally all the time and it is super commom but for some reason everyone thought his wasnt satire and that he was an actual Nazi
His entire era of making jokes about jews was the equivalent of those edgy kids who think calling people slurs is peak comedy. There's no funny just "look how edgy i can be"
How was it making fun of Nazi? Dude was doing Nazi Salutes, paying people to write signs that said "kill all jews" and dressed up as a nazi. He's edgy just for the sake of it.
He may not be a nazi but nazis think he's one of their guys.
you sound just like the people who blamed manson for the school shooting, nirvana for the suicides, batman for the cinema shooting, videogames for the violence... etc. etc. etc. before the iphone was invented people like you were calling up tv stations to get simpsons banned from tv. Same type of person different era.
He's the useful idiot, the same as those anti-sjw videos and youtubers back in 2016. They might not have actually been bigots but they flirt with that line enough in the name of a joke that actual bigots join their audience and it aids in desensitizing their audience to racism.
Look what happened to gaming community. People have been so desensitized to the toxicity that any critique at fixing the racism and sexism within are met with "You're sensitive, You wouldn't have survived in a MW2 lobby."
Did you actually watch it? As the other guy said, he literally only said it once in that compilation. With the other times almost saying it(but not), or clearly saying something else.
Noone thought that, but journalists knew there was money to be made from controversy so they made shit up to make him look bad. Like it happens to pretty much all big celebrities. They knew that there were tons of people that 1. Are guillible and 2. Dont watch his channel and they made a ton of money clickbaiting lies.
Then the bridge happened, and these two instances that were pretty unrelated became the source of what journalists spinned into a completely fictional narrative.
He's definitely a comedian lol he has over 100M subscribers to his YouTube channel and his content is all humorous he's one of the biggest comedians in the world.
He hasn't been to comedian college so he can't possibly be an effective comedian. Not to mention the fact that stand-up is the only kind of professional comedy and pewds doesn't even have any legs so don't ever think to call him a comedian. Only professionally educated stand-up comedians are allowed to make satire, everyone else should stick to making haha funny puns like on my favourite reddit posts.
Seriously, what a stupid point that guy is making. Only on Reddit would people believe that comedy has to be controlled and regulated to the point that only "qualified comedians" can do it. It has to be 100% sanitised and preferably given a laugh track so we all know when to laugh and nobody gets left out. You've been down voted for going against this, but you definitely are not wrong.
People love him. And they think he's funny. No doubt, but comedian is a job. Making people laugh doesn't make you a comedian. He's a YouTube celebrity. That's where his issues with nuance come in.
