PewDiePie explains emotional decision to end \u2018Subscribe to PewDiePie\u2019 movement PewDiePie\/YouTubeAs YouTube\u2019s most-subscribed creator, Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg has seen mass support in his ongoing war against Bollywood music label T-Series \u2013 but their famed battle might be coming to an end. Kjellberg uploaded an emotional, four-minute-long video to YouTube on April 28, where he claimed that he wants to end the \u2018Subscribe to PewDiePie\u2019 meme that has taken over the internet in response to his feud with T-Series. Kjellberg explained that the meme had become more than just a humorous tagline to support his channel, citing the vandalized World War II memorial in his name \u2013 as well as the words uttered by the Christchurch shooter on March 15. https:\/\/www.dexerto.com\/entertainment\/pewdiepie-fans-take-t-series-youtube-competition-too-far-vandalize-wwii-memorial-436729Explaining his decision to end the meme once and for all \u201cTo have my name associated with something so unspeakably vile has affected me in more ways than I let show,\u201d Kjellberg admitted, going on to explain that he hadn\u2019t addressed the issue outside of Twitter out of respect for the victims, as well as to avoid giving attention to the terrorist. \u201cTo put it plainly, I didn\u2019t want hate to win,\u201d he continued. \u201cBut it\u2019s clear to me now that the \u2018Subscribe to PewDiePie\u2019 movement should have ended then. \u2026This was all made to be fun. It\u2019s clearly not fun anymore. It\u2019s clearly gone too far.\u201d T-Series\u2019 controversial court order Kjellberg likewise addressed T-Series\u2019 court order to have his diss tracks \u2018Bitch Lasagna\u2019 and \u2018Congratulations\u2019 removed from the platform altogether, claiming that he will leave the videos blocked in India out of respect for how things have gone \u201ctoo far\u201d with the meme. PewDiePie went on to address accusations of white nationalism associated with the \u2018Subscribe to PewDiePie\u2019 movement, vehemently denouncing any claims of racism and stating that he \u201cdoesn\u2019t support \u201cany form of \u201cracist comments or hate to anyone.\u201d However, Kjellberg made sure to note that he feels \u201cincredibly lucky\u201d for his supporters and how far his channel has managed to grow during his feud with T-Series, claiming that he doesn\u2019t want his race to 100 million subscribers to be about \u201cbeating another channel.\u201d PewDiePie\u2019s nearly six-month-long feud with the label has finally come to an end, following the release of Kjellberg\u2019s \u2018Congratulations\u2019 diss track in late March, alongside the combined efforts of fans, YouTubers, and celebrities around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
