what’s your opinion on the terrorist attack where the dude said “subscribe to pewdiepie” after he killed around 50 people?

Terrorist attacks are bad regardless of the form. I heard about the attack on the radio as the events were still being reported since I worked late that night. It’s horrible. Regarding pewdiepie you can’t completely control the fans that follow you but in the same regard you can shape who feels included and excluded by the things you do and don’t say. For example The Wiggles aren’t exactly known for having a punk rock following. As a creator you market yourself (whatever that happens to mean) and people who feel at home with you will watch you. It’s not his fault the guy did the attack but that guy also felt included there. You lay down with dogs you get fleas.

this. a thousand times this. He may not have been the one who pulled the trigger but he did make his videos, ironic or not it doesnt matter, a place where fascists and terrorists feel comfortable namedropping him before committing atrocities. He may not have pulled the trigger but there is still blood on his hands.
