wait a minute...

No! You changed it!

come on media what are you doing?

what does it say now?

*Pewdiepie's fall shows the limits of 'lol just kidding'*

Hey alright

Emma Grey Ellis

may I just say that if you're gonna call someone

a hero to the nazis

you may want to double check if that's true or not

because afterwards you can't go 'lol just kidding' (roasted)

the amount of cherry-picking that the media came out with after this whole thing

to prove this narrative that I'm somehow an anti-semite

that was eh *kiss* beautiful

Please keep doing it, it's hilarious

*chuckles*

Vox media posted this unironically

*arguably similar to Nazi fashion*

*recently he has been wearing Himmler style glasses*

*and sporting a fashy [slang for fascist] Hitler youth haircut*

VOX

You got me (me too)

damn it

*sigh*

i didn't want to admit this

i didn't want to talk about this

I love Korean fashion

I love K-pop

That's why I dyed my hair

I'm going through a mid-life crisis here ok?

I want to be a K-pop star!

JK Rowling is calling me a fascist

Why? I don't *chuckles*

I guess she read it on eh she read it off a headline

and sort off went with it

well I read on an online article that

you once said in an interview that you found dressing up as a nazi arousing

I read that on an online website so it must be true! (roasted)

right? JK?

so I made the apology video where I thought at least was from the heart

explain the situation

and I admitted it that I didn't do everything like I'm not guilt-free in this situation by any means

it was met by the warmest

positivity from the internet and anyone that i think saw it

it was just amazing and I owe you guys my biggest thanks for all the support that I got from that video

(love you pewds <3)

however! the media wasn't as impressed

they kind of stuck with their narrative

*Pewdiepie half-heartedly apologizes, calls media "motherfuckers"*

*Pewdiepie's "apology" for Nazi jokes shows that he still doesn't get it*

*trump and Pewdiepie are using the same playbook*

so we basically went from "Pewdiepie is a nazi" to "Pewdiepie is trump"

we'll get there one day media i'm sure we'll get there one day

and I want to point out not all media okay

i've seen more and more balanced articles come out about this situation

even though it seems pretty dead at this point

the whole situation is a testimony of old media not understanding youtube

the fucking senior editor of wall street journal

*chuckles*

the senior editor of wall street journal tweeted

*man this pewdiepie video is long*

i'm sorry mike i'll try and cut it down next time a little bit for you

so you don't have to spend so much time doing your journalist research

maybe i'll add a little meme

maybe that will make it more interesting for you

i dunno

senior editor huh how about that (roasted)

let's get into the wall street journal thing

there's one thing that I wanted to talk about that i didn't really do in my last video

which was the fact that wall street journal went to the brands that i work with

before they came to me for a comment

i know this because they didn't just talked to disney and youtube

it shows to me that they were just after making the strongest headline and the strongest story

that they could get without any regards of what kind of damage they would do in the process

i mean why would wall street journal care about minimizing harm

it's not like it's one of the fore-major section in the journalist's code of ethics (true)

i-i-i- mean why would wall street journal care about that?

i don't understand

they wanted that headline, they got the headline

*wall street journal should've tried to get a response from me (pewds) directly to begin with*

*not going to brands I work with first. Proves to me their maliciousness.*

christopher mims of the wall street journal tweeted back at me

*demonstrably false but anyway welcome to our post-truth age*

he says *nothing, absolutely nothing gets printed in the wall street journal without an attempt to reach a mentioned subject for comment*

so seems fair right?

but then he goes and says *I have no idea about the chronology*

which was my fucking point!

christopher mims you demonstrated yourself false

so welcome to the post-truth age (roasted)

the other thing that i had a problem with which i already brought up

i don't think i need to elaborate on it

which is the context or lack of context

i think in the video there was one piece of context out of five in total

so if you think that's a balanced way of doing journalism, you tell me

i have a big problem with the whole thing in general

because this whole thing wasn't a problem until it was brought up

because my audience understand they were jokes

they weren't actually doing anyone any harm

but the way the wall street journal defended this was that

neo nazi websites were supporting me

calling it the no.1 pewdiepie fansite

which i obviously had no idea about, believe it or not, i don't go to neo nazi websites *chuckles*

the wall street journal condemns me for using "posts"

they don't call it jokes

they literally said that the fact that I used adolf hitler and the fact that I used nazi imagery

that's bad enough

it seems right here that you are guilty of the same thing

*german*

oh look there is hitler~ this looks like nazi imagery to me~

someone start the press!

i think we have a scoop!

it turns out the neo nazi websites have changed their mind

right now, they are the no.1 wall street journal fansite

interesting! i don't believe wall street journal has made a statement!

CONDEMNING THESE WEBSITES

SO THEY MUST BE A NAZI-SUPPORTING WEBSITE NOW

I THINK WE NEED TO TALK TO THEIR SPONSORS ABOUT THIS

NOT WALL STREET JOURNAL THEMSELVES

OR DOES CONTEXT MATTER? I DON'T KNOW~

OH LOOK! HERE'S THEIR SPONSORS!

HOW ABOUT THAT~

GUESS WE NEED TO TALK TO THEM FIRST

i realize how childish i sound okay

it's just to illustrate this point

and if you didn't think it could be any more unethical or any more stupid

one of the journalists ben fritz

it came out that he's been doing the same kind of jokes

NO! NOT BEN FRITZ!

SAY IT'S NOT TRUE

*he has a hard on for the nazis*

NO!!! NO!!!

THAT'S AN ANTI-SEMITIC JOKE

HE WANTS TO FRY THE JEWS?

sorry, sorry, i don't even want to show these jokes

i don't show anti-semitic imagery on my channel that's disgusting

i'm so disappointed in you ben fritz

i didn't want to say this because it didn't feel neccessary

but there wasn't just pressure to get my show cancelled

along with other brands that i work with that they reached out to

youtube also had pressure to demonetize my entire channel essentially getting me fired

luckily my videos does not go against community guildelines

so it didn't but they tried

so it seems only fair by wall street journal's own way of conducting themself

that ben fritz should get fired

this whole thing has been embarrassing

it's been a fiasco

it doesn't make me happy when i find like these things out it makes me sad

that this is the world we live in, where people

people make articles about people making jokes that they make themselves

trying to get their lives ruined

a thing that i saw a lot on the media was that

because i said wall street journal did this attack on me

and people just didn't believe me

like what does wall street journal has to gain from that or

they are such different organization like they have nothing to do with what I do

so it wouldn't make any sense

well here's a graph showing the trust in media going down based on age

i assume that pieces like this is not helping with that

here's a graph of the newspaper ad revenue from digital and print

showing decrease of revenue in the media

oh okay so wall street is losing influence and income

hmm i wonder who's gaining that right now?

so what does wall street journal has to gain from doing a piece like this on me?

nothing nothing obviously

i mean why else would they put the article behind a pay wall, twice?

so wall street journal is losing revenue

maybe maybe i should buy the wall street journal

actually i don't know, it seems like a failing business to me *BURN*

*music*

*laugh*

'context matters ben' *laughs*

(love for poods <3)
