Wait what? I'm liberal and I think idubbbz is funny.
Also IDK why Disney would've made a deal with PewDiePie in the first place if they weren't expecting him to be inappropriate. He's cursed in his vids for a long time, he's not really family-friendly content, so why would he fit their brand?
All in all, Felix's gonna be fine. He has over 50 million subscribers, he's the most popular YouTuber by far.
PhantOS:
idubbbz is the best lol
however nobody in their right mind would ever sign a business partnership or sponsorship with idubbbz if they wanted to keep their relations PG

You realize Disney is a service that caters entertainment towards children between the ages of 4 and 16. Their primary demographic is children who are under the TV-MA age, and millions of parents either pay for their channels on TV, pay for their merchandise in the form of toys, products, etc. Disneyland attracts a huge amount of kids and parents.
If Disney were to continue their relations with Pewdiepie they would literally lose 90% of their entire market and probably be boycotted by angry parents. It's not them trying to censor stuff, it's them trying desperately to maintain their dignity in the children entertainment market.
Disney deserves to know the moment their business partner starts making holocaust jokes.

Yeah, if you were a baker and the local news lied to you about the confectionaries having maggots in them, you'd drop them too, that's not the point.
The point is that the MSM is dishonest, and if people can't see that at this point I don't know what will change their mind. Perhaps a lawsuit from the most popular guy on Youtube?
Also, can we stop with this "controversial jokes are bad" thing? I don't know what channels you watch, but Jews make anti-semetic jokes too.

If you can't take a joke, then don't laugh. No one is forcing you to laugh. What you don't have a right to do is to be offended and to try and destroy these entertainers' lives.

these are specifically combined statements right? since obviously people have a right to be offended about things, they just don't have a right to destroy someone's life because of it. regardless, some people just have different standards of humor and there's nothing wrong with that. if you're a richard about things you don't like in general tho, obvs that's not a great thing
that being said, if what pewdiepie did was in a video he publicly uploaded to youtube, then idk if there's much grounds for a lawsuit.
