PewDiePie Hits Out at VICE Again For Slander and Weighs in on YouTube Subscription Box Debate YouTuber Felix \u201cPewDiePie\u201d Kjellberg has hit out at website VICE once again in his latest video, and also gave his view on the latest YouTube controversy over subscription boxes. PewDiePie accused VICE of slander on May 25th, after the website and broadcasting company published an article entitled \u201cPewDiePie is Teaching His Audience that Women Are Asking For It\u201d. The article related to a video which PewDiePie had made responding to Twitch streamer Alinity, who had accused him of portraying a negative image of women to his audience calling her and other female streamers \u201cTwitch thots\u201d. More: YouTuber \u2018Ice_Poseidon\u2019 Threatens Legal Action After Video Surfaces of Him Making \u201cRacist\u201d Comments at a Restaurant – PewDiePie highlighted the very \u201cpromiscuous\u201d content of Alinity\u2019s stream, which VICE then presumed was the reason he felt criticism of Alinity was deserved. But, PewDiePie explained that the reason he was critical of Alinity was for her open admission of abusing copyright law in order to receive money from videos which used her content under fair use \u2013 not because of her sexually suggestive content. \u201cThis whole article is so painfully one sided. It\u2019s offensive because it insinuates that somehow I said it\u2019s ok to harass or sexually assault (or even worse) women, because of what they wear. I never said this. It\u2019s funny to me how a website that claimed that they know how millennials think and what content they want can be so disconnected from their own audience.\u201d I said [Alinity] deserves criticism for abusing copyright law \u2013 there is something very wrong with that and you should be allowed to be criticized. Yes, it\u2019s the internet and there will be a small percentage of harassment, it\u2019s unfortunate, and I never said anyone deserves that, that\u2019s ridiculous.\u201d PewDiePie also addressed the concerns which a number of YouTubers have expressed over the new subscription box algorithm, which now presents videos of subscribed channels to users in an order determined by YouTube itself, rather than chronologically. \u201cThat just seems like a terrible idea. YouTube has just changed so many things over the years that none of the creators wanted and none of the users seem to want either, but they always just move ahead with it anyway. And usually, it\u2019s fine. But the subscription box has been the last bastion, the last stronghold of YouTube that hadn\u2019t been altered and hasn\u2019t been changed. It is so difficult to find videos from a certain person in the recommended tab, home tab, trending tab and all these things that no one really wants. And in a way they are kind of nice \u2013 but just don\u2019t touch the subscription feed. I have to be honest though, a lot of times people get outraged with updates and they\u2019re not really as bad as everyone thinks.\u201d You can watch PewDiePie\u2019s full video on VICE and YouTube\u2019s subscription boxes below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
