PewDiePie explains why internet hate culture has \u201cgone overboard\u201d YouTube king Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2018 Kjellberg reacted to a web comic celebrating his house being broken into, and explained how hate on the internet is not \u201cnormal behavior.\u201d PewDiePie\u2019s house in Japan was broken into in December, where \u201c90%\u201d of their valuables were stolen according to an Instagram Story by the Swede\u2019s wife Marzia. However, after a webcomic celebrating the break-in caught the YouTuber\u2019s attention, he went on to explain how hatred on the internet has \u201cgone overboard\u201d with this kind of behavior. PewDiePie reacts to disturbing webcomic During the January 4 edition of PewNews, the Swedish star revealed to his audience that he had been tipped off about a webcomic that celebrated his house being broken into. While he didn\u2019t say who the artist was, the comic depicted a person telling their new co-worker \u201cheh, that millionaire gamer-bro douchebag totally got robbed.\u201d When the \u201cnew guy\u201d at her store points out, \u201cHey, how\u2019d you like it if you were robbed?,\u201d the character is made fun of for asking the question. Reacting to the art, Pewds said, \u201cThis person tries to vilify new guy, but is so tone deaf, they don\u2019t understand they make themselves look like an idiot. It\u2019s so weird. It\u2019s so un-self aware.\u201d After the comic spread online, a meme centered around the \u201cnew guy\u201d being a hero began trending on Twitter. \u201cHe has all the hallmarks of a good protagonist. If he were real, he\u2019d make a good friend,\u201d the YouTuber said as he read a tweet aloud. \u201cI want to be friends with new guy! He seems great!\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t know anything about this person who made this webcomic. But the point is, people that react this way about something unjust happening to someone, it\u2019s not normal behavior to react this way,\u201d he continued. \u201cThere is a clear distinction to me wishing actual harm on someone, or something illegal to happen.\u201d The Minecraft star then exclaimed, \u201cThat\u2019s the weird part and how that line is blurred because I\u2019m a millionaire, when it\u2019s not about the money, it\u2019s the personal space. And it\u2019s weird that no one understand that. It\u2019s clearly gotten so overboard.\u201d (Timestamp 08:37 for mobile users.) While the comic was in poor taste, the Swedish star didn\u2019t wish any ill will towards the creator, and asked his audience to not seek them out, as it would solve nothing.
