PewDiePie pokes fun at critics with \u201cunintentional racism\u201d meme video PewDiePie, YouTubeYouTube\u2019s top creator, Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg, uploaded a video on January 5, where he poked fun at his critics by reviewing \u201cunintentional racism\u201d memes \u2013 throwing particular shade toward news and opinion website Vox. Pewd\u2019s video began with a mock \u201chack\u201d into the website, followed by the YouTuber appearing in front of a green screen backdrop depicting Vox\u2019s offices. PewDiePie likewise made a tongue-in-cheek statement referencing the mass amounts of criticism he received after promoting an anti-Semitic website in early December of 2018. \u201cYou\u2019re either racist, or you\u2019re not \u2013 there\u2019s no in-between,\u201d PewDiePie laughed. \u201cThere are never any excuses \u2013 ever. \u2026I am \u2018smhing\u2019 and disgusted right now,\u201d he continued, referencing the \u2018Accidental Racism\u2019 subreddit he went on to review. PewDiePie ended the segment with a statement clarifying that the video was made in jest, noting that \u201cunintentional racism\u201d would always exist despite the media\u2019s efforts to suppress or censor \u201chumor.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s just jokes,\u201d Pewds explained. \u201c\u2026you can stop making these kinds of jokes, you can forbid humor\u2026 but at the end of the day, unintentional racism will always exist because people are always stupid.\u201d PewDiePie\u2019s video addresses the media\u2019s response to his previous scandals, including the incident where he uttered a racial slur during a live stream in September 2017, as well as the anti-Semitic joke he made in an attempt to showcase the boundaries of freelance website \u2018Fiverr\u2019 in February 2017. PewDiePie has since taken issue with coverage of his controversies, calling out Vox and other websites in a slew of videos following his channel promotion in 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
