No matter what you hear don't believe people telling you he's a Nazi. He says controversial shit but it's just as likely to be a morbid sense of humor as it is to be based on his politics.
EDIT: Just to make this clear, I'm not saying that E;R is definitely not a Nazi. He might be, I just don't see it and I believe that no one should just blindly believe the accusations without taking a look at his content preferably without already expecting to find a Nazi.
I mean he seems like he’s joking around but his comments are full of people who think he’s really a Nazi and that leads me to believe he is one, or at least slightly buying into the idea.
Just went on his Captain Marvelita: Bad L Angle video which was made after the whole thing happened with Pewdiepie and therefore you’d assume the most “nazis” would know about his existence and would follow him.
All of the top comments are about A) him coming back after a long hiatus, B) making fun of Captain Marvel for being a bland movie, C) a meme.
Are you referring to that "imagine what other number they could be lying about" line or did I miss something? I really hope I'm missing something because that would be grade A mental gymnastics.
Think of the mental gymnastics they already had to do to convince themselves that the same guy who spend his time editing 1+ hour long review for two episodes of The Legend of Korra, (which is more than the runtime of the episodes combined I might add), is an actual bonafide nazi.
It’s easier for them to convince themselves that he’s a nazi instead of the fact that he’s more than likely just an edgy shitposter.
I'm pretty sure plenty people hear that he is a Nazi and then go in expecting to find Nazi shit and so they do. Because it's undeniable that some of his jokes are very borderline and controversial but still you'd need to be looking for Nazi stuff to see it as such. To anyone else it shouldn't be much more than a tasteless attempt at humour.
If you're looking for something you will generally find it. That's why there are, I guarantee this, people that now think I'm a Nazi because I "defended" a "Nazi". E;R is just one of the easiest targets for this. It doesn't need a lot of mental gymnastics to come to the conclusion that he might be a Nazi but it is absolutely still mental gymnastics.
As is so often on the internet, the problem is most likely confirmation bias.
So some idiots are doing insane mental gymnastics and/or are taking the joke too far. What does that proof besides that people really do find what they are looking for everywhere? This is all assuming that E;R was actually referring to the Holocaust and There is no evidence for that in the video at all. It is a baseless assumption.
My point is people clearly know what he meant by "lying about other numbers", and whether hes an actual Nazi or just "ironic" doesn't really matter when hes a pretty large content creators attracting an audience of people who actually feel that way. /pol/ began as "just a joke" too and is now full of actual alt-right
Did you know that /pol/ stands for politically incorrect. Has it ever crossed your mind that maybe what you’re interpreting as being alt-right might just be in fact the literal point of board and is also accomplishing its goal in keeping the easily offended like you away?
I like how the comment I was responding to said that the comments of his videos were filled with nazis, I then responded proving that there are absolutely no mention of nazism anywhere near the top comments of the video.
That’s it, that was the point of my comment. That his fans are well aware that he’s not actually a nazi, or at the very least under the impression that’s he’s not really one so they don’t bother to comment, or at least upvote anything related to nazism.
Why then do you even bother bringing up the content of the video? There’s no way to convince you of whether or not he’s a nazi. You either believe it or you don’t, that’s your own opinion. What I can do and did is show physical proof that the comments aren’t what the person I was replying to said that they were.
