PewDiePie calls out Oli London over \u2018race change\u2019: \u201cIt\u2019s so bizarre\u201d YouTube: PewDiePie \/ TikTok: olilondonYouTuber Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg has criticized influencer Oli London for claiming they are transracial after getting surgery to look more \u2018Korean.\u2019 Ethnically white and British-born Oli London has long been creating controversy on the internet with their behavior. In 2018, they claimed to have spent tens of thousands of dollars in order to look like K-pop idol Jimin from popular group BTS. However, in the past few months, they\u2019ve ramped their behavior up to a new extreme, condemned widely on social media, including by many Korean creators. In the latest unbelievable turn of events, Oli revealed during pride month that they now identify as Korean. The influencer even went as far as to get surgery to look \u2018more Korean\u2019 as they revealed in a June 26 YouTube video, leading to widespread backlash. YouTuber PewDiePie reacted to a popular video about Oli trying to look more like Jimin in 2020, and he\u2019s now back again to share his thoughts on the influencer\u2019s latest announcements. After watching part of the video, Felix didn\u2019t seem to know how to react, saying, \u201cI\u2019m speechless, I don\u2019t know what to say, it\u2019s so bizarre.\u201d \u201cI believe that he\u2019s doing it because he wants to, but you\u2019re also letting everyone know. You cannot say you don\u2019t like the attention at least. Which is fine, if you wanna do that, but I don\u2019t buy that at all. There\u2019s definitely both of these elements playing into each other.\u201d In response to Oli\u2019s defense that some people identify as aliens so they should be able to identify as Korean, he said: \u201cYou are appropriating another race. That\u2019s not always a good look, I\u2019m not gonna lie. You\u2019re not taking away from aliens by identifying as them.\u201d He stressed that the video wasn\u2019t intended as hate towards Oli, and that he just found the topic \u201cinteresting.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m totally fine with people doing surgery or if they\u2019re not happy about an aspect of themselves, fine. But it also kind of opens up this question of you know, what are you ever going to be if you can always change a part of yourself.\u201d It doesn\u2019t seem as though Oli London is planning on slowing down any time soon and people have been left wondering what extremes the influencer will end up going to next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
