PewDiePie calls out racist commenters during nail-biting battle with T-Series T-Series \/ PewDiePie, YouTubeYouTube king Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg is in the midst of a close run with Bollywood music and film label T-Series, which is gunning against Pewd\u2019s channel for the most subscribers on the video platform. PewDiePie had a severely close call with the label on December 2, after which he revealed that he had been less than 15,000 subs away from defeat. However, that wasn\u2019t the only issue he addressed in his video over the debacle the following day \u2013 he likewise called out racist users who are using his feud with the India-based label to spew out hateful comments on videos across YouTube. \u201cSometimes in these comments\u2026 you see\u2026 just really distasteful, unnecessary comments,\u201d Pewds began, going on to address his own jokes about multiple countries. \u201cI obviously made Indian jokes and stuff like that, but I do that of all countries, and this is not what I\u2019m about.\u201d PewDiePie then mentioned the massive amount of attention he\u2019s received due to his race with the label, stating that he\u2019d prefer to use his current platform to fight back against the hateful comments. https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/2018\/11\/30\/hacker-makes-printers-across-the-world-ask-people-to-subscribe-to-pewdiepie \u201cWhy not just take that fact and redirect it to something more positive, and show that this fanbase\u2026 can do something positive, as well?\u201d Pewds said of the issue. PewDiePie\u2019s current stance on the debacle could mark a major shift in light of his previous scandals, such as the incident where he received massive criticism for making an anti-semitic joke in order to comment on the state of freelance service Fiverr during early 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
