PewDiePie speaks out on Markiplier & Jacksepticeye\u2019s clothing line scandal Forbes \/ YouTubePopular gaming YouTubers Mark \u2018Markiplier\u2019 Fischbach and Se\u00e1n \u2018Jacksepticeye\u2019 McLoughlin are facing major flak for their latest clothing line \u2013 and YouTube king Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg has finally given his two cents on the scandal. Mark and Jack introduced their minimalist clothing line, \u2018Cloak,\u2019 on October 19, advertising it as a specialty brand for gamers in comparison to names like \u2018Lululemon\u2019 and \u2018Nike.\u2019 While many fans praised their latest project, others took issue with the line\u2019s hefty price point and simplistic design scheme. PewDiePie addressed issue during an episode of \u2018Pew News\u2019 on December 2, citing his own experience in creating clothing brands and merchandise in solidarity with his contemporaries. He explained that producing \u2018ethical\u2019 clothing, such as he and fiance Marzia\u2019s brand, \u2018Tsuki,\u2019 warrants a high price point, and argued that those looking for cheaper clothes would end up receiving a cheaper product, overall. \u201cIf you want to go to Wal-Mart and buy shirts, just go ahead,\u201d Pewds said. \u201c\u2026it\u2019s not designer, and if you don\u2019t want that, sure, it\u2019s fine, but you\u2019re not gonna get the same quality \u2026or any designs that set it apart.\u201d PewDiePie went on to argue that \u2018Cloak\u2019s\u2019 controversial, minimalistic design \u201csets it apart\u201d from other brands, and noted that the brand\u2019s widespread criticism largely spread from Mark and Jack\u2019s relatively young fanbase. However, other YouTubers have likewise criticized the brand, with Drama Alert host Daniel \u2018KEEMSTAR\u2019 Keem being among them. KEEMSTAR accused Mark and Jack of \u201ctaking advantage\u201d of their fans, calling the \u2018Cloak\u2019 brand, \u201chigh-priced bs\u201d in a Tweet on November 29.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
