He's had some controversial things. In 2017 he said the n-word while live streaming a game. The other big one I know of is he made a video where he showed he has paid one of those fiverr groups of Indian children to hold up a sign that said "death to all Jews". Pewdiepie didn't think they would actually do it.
They are really not great situations, and the second one I mentioned he should have realised was a bad idea and not done at all. Back in that 2017 era he positioned himself as an edgier meme YouTube, but he has since apologized and vastly changed his content, and i personally believe he's a very changed person from a decade ago. But the stigma has stuck around.
Not every country finds saying n word offensive and he's not American.
Nobody really uses that word other that in the US. Everyone on the internet that knows that word knows it with the context already.
Decent human beings in every country find that word offensive (with the exception of the people of color slang culture saying it among each other). The people not finding it offensive are mentally ill hate-filled racists.
Yeah, but as a swede myself I definitely know it's a no no word especially as by that time other YouTube's already had their own n-word controversies.
