Here is the thing with Asmondgold. He apologized for calling Palestinians subhuman, then went on to say right after that voices for Palestinians deserve what’s coming to them and a bunch of other horrendous shit.
From what I understand Pewdiepie hasn’t been problematic since the bridge incident. So it’s not a 1:1 comparison.
Serious question.
Do you believe in rehabilitation? I think its admirable for someone to overcome their shortcomings. Especially considering that we are all products of our environments.
To my understanding he apologized for the horrific things he said in the past and is attempting to better himself as a person. I don’t see him continuing to be a problematic person.
Who here hasn’t said or done regrettable things?
For a more privacy focused solution I use Freetube on my Steamdeck. It has some drawbacks, but worth it if you are trying to reduce your online footprint.
I stopped following him after the incident like many, so I am also unsure. I could be misinformed, but I haven’t heard of any controversies since then.
I am sympathetic because I was once a conservative due to my upbringing. But after moving out and experiencing the world, I have gotten more and more progressive. I shutter at shit I used to say, but can’t change the past. I can only focus on bettering myself for the future.
