Brazen accusations and using the word Nazi like a t-shirt gun is why when people do things that are actually reflective of Nazi ideals, like Elon's fortnite emote, people immediately stop listening. This doesn't help anyone.
What he did back then was basically "edgy toxic gamer," making edgy content just for the sake of angering people. Like his entire Pewdiepie vs T-series that actually makes a lot of Indian national angry. I remember all of his Indian fans telling him that all of his jokes are too much.
He's now stop doing those edgy jokes, even recognizing those stuff.
All of his content right now is basically just a dad/husband doing cool stuff with his family.
He ... grew up?
We should anticipate, encourage and hope for this. All edgy teens leave the homeroom eventually and need to evolve once the pressure to be shitbags for cheap gratification and clique standing is removed.
Glad if he's evolved. Only know OF him, not a fan or a R.L acquaintance so I can only care so much while lacking that parasocial link, but better is still better.
Funny you should mention this. I got banned from several communities for saying something like this.
It really depends on the context. I agree that calling everyone a Nazi is watering down the meaning but a lot of right wingers also say that when you call actual Nazis Nazis.
Yup. It can be a surprisingly thin line, but if you come with receipts, it's fine.
Don't call people nasty things because you don't like them, call them nasty things because that's accurate.
The extreme left and extreme right spaces have a lot in common. Purity tests and instant bans for anyone not sharing the same groupthink is probably the biggest things.
Anything "extreme" has never been a good thing, that's why it's called extreme. But this sort of opinion can also get you a lot of backlash.
And I avoid communities that enforce that nonsense. All I want in community moderation is enforcement of civil discourse and keeping discussion on topic. That's it.
