PewDiePie Takes Another Shot at Alinity After Racial Slur and Admitting She Received Twitch Favors The on going dispute between YouTuber PewDiePie and Twitch streamer Alinity looked to be settled, but recently has sparked again, prompting PewDiePie to make a second video addressing the situation. The dispute began following a video in which PewDiePie called Alinity and other female streamers \u2018Twitch thots\u2019, which Alinity responded to by threatening to \u2018copy strike\u2019 the video. Clearly, PewDiePie\u2019s video was protected on the grounds of fair use, given that it featured his own commentary and was \u2018transformative\u2019, but nonetheless he claims it did receive a copyright claim from Alinity\u2019s agent, which was later removed. In the aftermath, Alinity said live on stream that making (largely false) copyright claims on videos with her content was a form of monthly income for her, stating that the agency, CollabDRM, had sent her approximately $700 last month. This sparked outrage amongst the community, and PewDiePie made his first response video following. He apologized for his use of the term \u2018thot\u2019, but was also heavily critical of Alinity\u2019s blatant contempt for copyright law. Alinity later posted a statement accusing PewDiePie of being \u2018sexist\u2019 in front of what she claimed was an impressionable young audience. In response, PewDiePie has now released a new video, much more scathing than the first, in which he highlights Alinity\u2019s very sexually suggestive stream content, her recent use of the N word (and subsequent preferential treatment from Twitch) \u2013 and even a suggestion that she broke Canadian immigration laws. A summary of PewDiePie\u2019s main points from his video is presented below. \u201cThere\u2019s this one clip, where she very publicly admits to committing marriage fraud. That she moved to Columbia and married this guy, just so she could move to Canada.\u201d She then very publicly admits that she\u2019s been getting special favors from Twitch. [\u2026] Maybe this is the problem, she\u2019s never been forced to be held accountable for her actions. Twitch, like she says, has been giving her favors: \u2018Oh Alinity, you broke the terms of service, just delete this video and we\u2019ll just move on\u2019. When they are so strict on Twitch with these sort of rules, and people get banned all the time for this sort of thing. And, on the very same live stream \u2013 I swear to God she\u2019s just showing off that she\u2019s untouchable at this point \u2013 she drops the N word. Twitch have very strict rules, people get banned all the time for this sort of thing, or at least, they have been very harsh on guys. Saying the N word in this context, it didn\u2019t seem that bad. But then, for her to say \u2018I can say the N word, because I\u2019m 10% black\u2019, and justifying it. Twitch has shown a clear bias for female streamers on the platform for a long time.\u201d You can watch the full video, entitled \u201cBAN PEWDIEPIE\u201d, below, with his new points beginning at around the 5:18 minute mark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
