not only that but the article posted shows blatant disregard for context
they took a video where he questions people calling him a tribal with a sketch which he prefaces with "this is what people think of me" then dresses up in national socialist regalia (not even accurate national socialist regalia) and listens to Adolf Riddler for a few seconds
and they cut out the "this is what people think of me part" to make it look like sitting down to listen to Riddler is a regular hobby of his
he totally has a case here
Nonnel:
oh yeah if they're saying stuff like that then he could probably sue
ShadowsfeaR:
Problem with suing for defamation/libel is you have to prove that the people slandering you caused financial distress. If anything, I think Pewd's viewership/subs are going up.

He lost two sponsorships. That's financial distress if you ask me.

Oh stuff, I forgot about that. But was that a result of media, or was that what the media reported on to slander him? What was the sponsor's official statement on the release of the sponsorship?
