He'll probably think twice about live streaming again.

Right-wingers have spent so much denying anything that could probably be construed as racism, that they've now begun to defend that which was considered undisputed proof of racism, the N-word. I kind of wish the would just admit that they're racist.

Me personally. He dropped the N word out of anger. He did not use it in terms of inciting violence, or to cause hate, or to single out a group of people. We all have said racial slurs in our past, and even in our current day to day lives, this also includes plenty of closet liberals who live in NYC, and California. He just dropped the N word, but if he said die Ni####, than that's a whole different ballpark on its own. Everyone these days are getting in trouble for free speech. James D'more of Google got fired for a sexist memo. SJW wanted to take down Bill Maher for using House Ni####. CNN canned both Raza Asalan and Kathy Griffin for responses against Trump, Kolin Kapernack taking a knee during a game to protest police brutality, to even a transgender woman who said all white people are racist. 4 Florida police officers were fired for using N word and racist iconography of black people on their private mobile phones. Everyone is getting in trouble for speech, even though the speech does not have true intentions. Its just going to get worse from here on out for plenty of Americans who may have to be careful what they say. People these days are becoming more and more insensitive, and thus you cant say anything to describe a certain group of people, even said out of context or within contextual lines. One inciteful move and a whole community can backlash against you. Its even worse if you are using your free speech as a liberal, say something offensive and other liberals or SJW want to take that liberal out, case in point Bill Maher.

Sorry, mate, but "young followers" shouldn't even be on the internet alone, yet alone YouTube, if they're worried about their kids being influenced. YouTube allows all types of foul language.

If a parent is so concerned about that, tell their kid to get off the internet and go play outside.

If you don't like what he says, you tune out. That's it. Simple as A,B,C and easy as 1,2,3. YouTube must disallow the spelling and saying of such offensive words, sadly Google and YouTube have yet to bar the N##### from its platform. Tamajane, your best bet as a liberal or SJW is to get youtube and google to silence offensive words, that you feel that is harmful, disparaging and threating.

Play out-side? What, is that? Parents hardly monitor their kids online. They want the internet to do the monitoring for them through censorship.

He said WHAT?? .........HE SAID WHAT??!! THE N-WORD!!??

This will not stand. Someone has to stop this man. We've got Harvey, we've got Irma, hell we might even have a few more hurricanes whipping up in the southern Atlantic. Homes destroyed, lives ruined! Could it get any worse?? Alas it has....

This Youtube juggernaut and international enigma has forsaken us all. Einstein, Newton, Da Vinci, and of course PewDiePie have brought our civilization on Earth the gift of wisdom and knowledge to build further. In a complete 180, PewDiePie has snatched away our trust in him as a beacon of logic and cultural enlightenment. He must pay for using the dreaded, DREADED, N-WORD! And surely with this slip up, he will be brought to justice, for if there is ONE thing in this world that will not go unpunished... it is uttering that fateful word.

Which gives me an idea... Kim Jong Un. He has threatened nuclear devastation multiple times. He's starved his citizens and executed those around him on a whim. If by a small chance we can somehow trick him into voicing the *gulp* n-word, then... then he will be FINISHED! If we can get Dennis Rodman's help, I think we can pull this off.

Yawn, I'm done now.

As soon as black people stop using the N word every time they open their mouthes it will go away. If everyone has to hear that word every time they listen to a rap song, watch a movie, tv show or sporting event then it will continue to be part of our collective vocabulary.
