@Basal Failzga "the responsibility of those with free speech is only to defend fascists' free speech" no, those with free speech have a responsibility to not abuse that free speech, like Hutu genocidaires' "free speech" of vomiting "cut down the tall Tutsi trees" and "stomp out the Tutsi cockroach" across every radio; those who use (not abuse) free speech don't have any responsibility at all to ever defend genocidaires.

It's a relatively young industry (in the context of the law), so the justice system has to play catch-up.

[@zavierrsucks]

I recently graduated from law school, I specialized in Gaming (Gambling) law, since I live in Las Vegas. The CSGO scandal was talked about for a very long time in classes. We didn't get how they could get away with it, especially encouraging kids to gamble. I watched a video of a kid who had lost like $1500 from gambling, and kept stealing his parents money, it was clear his parents were rich and didn't care about him, BUT still. To be 15 and to already have all the problems and emotions of a gambling addict. That is harsh. At a time when LV is looking towards pushing betting on esports (I worked on a bill last semester that is allowing betting on esports pari-mutuel) we don't need scandals like this making the overall industry look bad. There are already laws and regulations which make things like CSGO lotto totally illegal, we just need to shut them down and move the gambling market to where its regulated. Its actually kind of ridiculous we have laws against online gambling, and we don't open it up like Europe so we can regulate the market and make sure people are of age.

[@keepingsilence1861]

I showed my mate who subscribed to ProSyndicate the scam he was running, and his response was 'Who cares, I like his videos, I don't care'. I feel like that probably reflects the attitude of most of the audience, not at all bothered by what amounted to at worst illegal but at best shady...

[@Justiguy]

Tangentially related here, I wonder if how we look at celebrities and reality TV has anything to do with it? I think there's a general acceptance of "this would be awful in real life" or "this is bad when you think about it" for at least a fair amount of people (definitely not all or even a majority), but because the viewers are viewing it as entertainment, it's become fine to just pass it off for show. If someone imitates it or gets damaged by it, whether it's something like this or imitating something they saw on TV not realizing it wasn't real, I imagine it then becomes the fault of the person or the parents rather than the person encouraging the behavior. So maybe in this respect, we've sort of become desensitized to it? I don't know, just spitballing here.

[@darthvaderreviews6926]

What Jim believes is largely irrelevant considering he barely brings up the topic of immigration at all because it isn't relevant, let alone stating specifics like "we need absolute open borders" which I don't believe he's ever said. In any case: *Whites are not becoming a minority (in Europe) much less an oppressed one anytime soon. Some people being assholes towards you sometimes is not oppression.* Come back when you can statistically prove people with white-sounding names are less likely to get jobs, for example, and _then_ we can have a discussion about your oppression. *Immigration, while not always okay in every circumstance and can, and in many countries indeed is an issue, has essentially never **_not_** been overblown.* Immigrants have been an easy scapegoat for authoritarian populists to blame since politics first came into existence. If your economy isn't doing well it's almost never _actually_ because of immigrants, and in fact immigration is an important part of a functioning economy. *As for "cultural degradation" the absolute fuck are you on about?* Graffiti having the gall to exist within 30 feet of you is not the end of the world. Pretty much all of these effects have little to do with immigration and far more to do with modernisation, and trust me, I'll be shedding tears over ancient Irish artisan wool weaving becoming a lost art too, I guess. *Consider how many human rights you would be willing to sacrifice for "muh culture" because to be frank freedom of movement is perhaps even MORE important than freedom of speech.* Without freedom of movement, you get North Korea where a state has a captive populace and you cannot leave the country if you don't like living there. Compromising this because some nebulous "culture" shit (just come out and say if you're a 'race realist' or not) is absolute idiocy. (this is NOT to equate this with "open every border". It is to say that if someone wants to move to another country they should be able to accomplish that within reason, and that denying them this because of their skin colour is fucking disgusting)

[@PKM1010]

@ Dude, you need to stop browsing 4chan. Yes, people will have probably have slightly darker skin on average in the future, that's all. If you keep framing them as some sort of invaders it only speaks volumes about you. Do you honestly think if someone is not 100% white, they wake up and think "I NEED TO DESTROY THE WHITE RACE" or maybe, maybe, they wake up and think "I wanna stay in bed" like every other person because that's what they are? They have their lives, families and worries, and they don't orbit around you, or your artificial identity attached to the colour of your skin?

[@mcnultyssobercompanion6372]

It's perpetually mind-boggling to me how many individuals (particularly on the internet) have no clear grasp on what the terms "free speech" and "censorship" actually mean. Choosing to not be a dick and drop the "N-word" in discussion has nothing to do with censorship. Basically it's called "being an adult". Either you get it or you don't.

Just like the more out spoken feminists have changed the definition of feminism.

I feel like half the people commenting didn't even watch the video, or maybe they just don't understand how KZbin works. KZbin is here to make money, they do this by selling adds, if their advertisers aren't happy KZbin has to do something or collapse. People who work in digital entertainment have know something like this was coming because if research done into the effectiveness of KZbin adds but KZbin's poster boy driving advertisers away doesn't help either. This is about what advertisers want associated with their brand and frankly they have every right to be picky, it's their money that makes KZbin profitable enough to pay these KZbinrs and their brand reputation that's on the line. It seems like some people completely missed that and got hung up on blaming SJWs and censorship when it's about advertisers not wanting to pay KZbinrs anymore to damage their reputation.

[@MaXF25]

Not as disgusting as sharing child porn in KZbin because a fan accepted to show her tits. Oh yes, that happened. (Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying that those youtubers shouldn't be punish) Summary of the incident: The incident involves spanish KZbin Channels.Mainly two Harugames(HG) and DylanteroSinImaginacion (DSI). DSI is a youtuber that criticises other YT videos. He found out a trend of videos where the KZbinr Trolls a perveted girl in Minecraft, (Is DallasReview part of this trend? IDK). DSI makes fun of this type of videos and explains why they are fake hoping that children will learn. However, he was contacted by a girl (who was 14 at the time i think) who told him that one of the videos was sharing her pictures, the uploader of the video was HG. DSI then started investigating and contact with former friends of HG, who confirm that he knew that the girl was underage and that it was in fact her. After that DSI confronted HG in a skype call, (this conversation is available in DSI's channel), during the interview HG deleted his video. And needles to say he was defensive of the type of content that he was doing and try to put some of the blame to the girl, which don't get me wrong she did something stupid to say the least. But the girl at least knows and undertands she did something wrong. Oh and i forgot to mention HG was 21 at the time and the download link was behind three adlinks intermediaries. So YT was literally used to profit on Childporn. As for Harugames, his channel is dead. However, there are mirrors of some of his original videos. All of them under the same topic.

Yeah, I mean I *knew* KZbin comments sections can be toxic, but seeing the amount of folks stepping up to defend casual racism is fucking ridiculous.

[@EkkieEkk]

racism=/=using a word in a non racist way to devalue it. Do we say that people who use the word lame are casual ableists?

[@EkkieEkk]

Mohamed Hassan was he referring to their race? No? Then it wasn't in a racist way.

[@danjo2080]

Yes, that is a form of casual ableism. Using a racial slur as a pejorative is specifically NOT using the term in a "non racist way". The term ITSELF inherently refers to race. A white man using it pejoratively is specifically referring to blackness as an inferiority. And that's what's fucked up. That's what's wrong with this.

[@skyhijinx]

Something that you forgot to mention though that, I believe, impacts this situation more than you may realize is that TmarTn has quite a huge audience. So...ya know...

[@bagelthief1234]

Great, now I'm seriously ill due to an overdose of sarcasm. I'd deliver the empty threat of legal action but it'd make it worse. You shall not be hearing from my lawyers.

[@arthurbrandonnielsen]

Three separate observations: -This was so full of sarcasm it was funny that it wasn't even funny. -Politicians are still crusading against video games. The Jack Thompsons of the world will never go away. -I wouldn't mind an ESRB style rating system for KZbin (it would probably help), but I would want the creators to have control over it, like how bloggers flag their blog posts or fiction/fanfiction writers tag their writing. There can still be consequences for those who breach EULA, COC, and TOS, but there needs to be power given to creators, not more power taken away.

[@LittleNemoGaming]

THIS. An ESRB rating style would be perfect if selected by creators, and it would give an up front visible way of showing both creators and advertisers what kind of content would be in the video. So companies who advertise during Criminal Minds, CSI, Law & Order, and NCIS types of shows, or the news, should have no issue with their ads on news/current event shows, or videogames that have violence in them etc.

[@marvellousm]

Thank you Jim, literally everybody else I have heard talk about this is talking about DMCA abuse like Pewdiepie just made one little mistake. They're so worried about their "free speech"

[@TheCandidPygmy]

Neo-Marxism is great! :D Greetings comrade!

[@elmastaa]

I thought justice in my country was fucked up but the US as always surprise me.

[@blackscienceman5031]

or from the end of a bike lock eh ;)

[@MatheusNiisama]

SSGmaster at least in the US you can't get arrested for making a Nazi Pug joke.

[@somed214]

Yeah in the US you get arrested and deported for having the wrong parents, but only after being promised that you wouldn't. SO MUCH BETTER KEK

[@mac533]

+Seneth Somed And in Arizona, you get tortured first! :D

[@Jordan-rs5hv]

Seneth Somed sorry your parents decided to break the law and your life wasn't worth enough to become a legal citizen. Hopefully in your new country you respect their laws. Not holding my breath though. Im a legal citizen and I don't deserve a thing. The fact criminals think they deserve anything blows my mind.

[@izzymcgee2527]

Hold my beer... "Logan Paul posts a video of a hanged man in Suicide Forest, Japan." Yeah... The whole racism thing looks pretty petty in comparison... :|

[@minimoYT]

PewDiePie had to deal with a lot more for doing a lot less.

[@KellsKats]

Tbh I kinda feel bad for Felix. Yeah he did some stupid things but I don’t think he was purposely doing anything immoral cause he’s a bad guy.

[@hellionshark3197]

I don't think he was arguing that Felix is a bad guy, only that he did stupid shit that made the platform look bad. With gaming channels as a theme in the video. I'd say Pewdiepie is the least of YT problems as far as advertiser unfriendly content goes...

[@DrStealthbug]

Surprisingly nuanced. Excellent points. I don't know why this comment section is so ridiculous. Most people probably didn't watch. Though his brand of LP's, as I've seen, are extremely edited, and heavy with commentary. I think he's fine under fair use. There will always be lawyers coming out of everywhere saying XYZ could be argued. Doesn't mean said argument would stick in court.

[@elaxter]

It's not just "oh he said the N-word! how bad!" it's "*the face of KZbin* said the N-word live on stream in front of a large audience."

[@Foxingg]

It's both

[@blubobo99]

I listened to the video 4 times just to hear jim saying "GOOD BOYE"

[@Crystion]

Ah, i should've have guessed what the comments would be like the second Jim said PewDiePie. Great episode either way Jim :D

[@TheHoonShow]

[@arrowitgraystun]

You cheater

[@OmegaSoypreme]

I love sarcastic Jim. He's best Jim.

[@ZenoDovahkiin]

The Firewatch devs gave permission to stream/upload to KZbin to the public. Therefore their DMCA has no legs to stand on, Jim.

[@bndawg2000]

So we can just pick and choose who can and can't use racial slurs now. Idubbbz can say it all the time and even h3 has said it from time to time but everyone was okay with it because we knew it wasn't them trying to be racist. But when pewdiepie lets it slip out and apoligizes for it, he is guilty and is a racist?

[@StrazdasLT]

This is usually refered to as "its ok when my side does it"

[@jackwinterheld4335]

Well, to be fair, Frank and Co never were particularly favored by youtube, certainly not to the point of being the face of youtube. Quite the opposite, in fact.

[@mrcat3493]

So glad I have never watched any of the a-holes mentioned by Jim.

[@TastyRedCrayons]

Thank God For You Jim Stephanie Sterling

[@Freakybugeyedweirdo]

What else did you expect from a game journalist?

[@niney5405]

Nothing beats DSP trying for roughly 28 minutes to get over a platforming room in Half Life 2 because he doesn't know how to crouch jump, and THEN getting mad at Crouch jumping and calling it a bug.

[@Jikkle]

Given your history I'm surprised there wasn't more reaction to another developer weaponizing DMCA take downs. Sean Vanaman if fully within his rights to come out and condemn PDP for his comments but it's not his right to improperly use the law and encourage others also to do the same thing because he didn't like what someone has said.

[@TheZephyrNation]

Jezz I don't how the discussion in the comments has gotten so offtrack... Its pretty obvious that Jim is not calling pewdiepie a racist at all throughout this video but rather is upset with his lack of tact he knows that people are watching his every move waiting for him to screw up so they can post 10 click bait articles about how pewdiepie said the n word and yet he still goes and does it. Its clear that Jim is bemoaning the lack of responsibility that pewdiepie has he doesn't consider how his words and actions have an impact on the whole youtube and that is what is really damming sure pewdiepie won't suffer from this but what about everyone else? The rest of the community suffers for the selfish and inconsiderate actions of one person. I get where Jim is coming from with this why is it so hard for everyone else to get it?

[@Naminator5]

+TheZephyrNation Pretty sure that Jim did call PDP a racist here. 13:56

[@TheZephyrNation]

Someone decides to be racist i.e say something racist without meaning it and someone is a racist are two different things no? Well either way i think Jim's point still stands Pewdiepie was being irresponsible and as a result it harms the community as a whole do you disagree with that?

[@mrfisher1072]

TheZephyrNation affects the community as a whole? Christ I didn't know we're some kind of collective.

[@TheZephyrNation]

"KZbin community" does that really need to be explained? Maybe you don't make a living out of youtube nor do I but some do and when advertisement revenues go down because companies need to "review" their terms it does have a negative impact on people with smaller channels maybe not pewdiepie but other people will feel it.

[@peeledapples4176]

Pewdiepie has consistently made racist jokes about Jews, the Holocaust and black people over his entire career. He's used Nazi imagery multiple times. At what point does this stop being "an innocent, albeit tactless slip-up" and turn into "this guy who consistently does racist stuff is probably racist?"

[@kjmcc2]

This is one of the best you've released recently haha well done

[@johnbeer4963]

"i'm not even going to jokingly defend pewdiepie" - i lol'd

[@Tripp426]

Wow, why are there so many dislikes on this Jim Sterling video? *watches video* Okay well he does make good points as usual... *reads some of the comments* Oh.

[@MoisesCharles]

9.6k downvotes. There were some salty, immature kids watching this video.

[@shaunlomax1]

Your vids like this should be mandatory viewing for all KZbin creators haha

[@davegorack]

Jim were being sarcastic? I coudent relly tell.

[@udhsids]

davegorack the first half yes, the PewDiePie thing is when he drop the sarcasm.

[@IFZEX09]

udhsids woosh

[@davegorack]

Yeah i know dude. I too was being sarcastic.

[@udhsids]

davegorack Is hard to tell, there a lot people who really could not tell the difference.

[@jarskaaja5]

I was expecting a quick video about Pewdiepie with that title. Talking about the scam artists should make a less controversial jimquisition though.

[@UltimatePerfection]

UncleFriis And BLM is okay even though they're racist towards white people.

[@82Jaster]

You can't be racist towards white people, lmao. We're white people.

[@undeadwill5912]

Jarskaaja I am just red thumbing every video till he makes a video about KZbin's new censorship measures.

[@Frozilla15]

UncleFriis Can you explain how it was racist in the context of the situation?

[@adiveler]

Aww, I was hoping that this episode would be about the Dean Takahashi’s Gameplay Video of Cuphead.

[@thrainosaren5925]

Bartosz Skorupa don't know what you've been told, but it was legit. Not a joke.

[@Sarcasmitron]

Dean was genuinely that bad at the game, but they only released the footage as a joke, not as a genuine preview.

[@Crawver]

A guy was bad at a game. Seriously, you think there's anything substantial about that? Why would he ever make a video about it? This isn't a pwnage channel.

[@xvxsethrenxvx]

I would love to see the firewatch dev get taken to court over bullshit DMCA take downs with the defense of "he said a naughty word we didn't like in an unrelated video almost a year after he played our game."

[@MrCatchTwenty2]

Oh this comment section is going to be fun...

[@sadderall8]

he can say whatever he wants, but should be prepared for any ramifications that might follow. freedom of speech is not freedom of consequence, something a lot of people who disagree with Jim on this subject seem to forget

[@omorfia1358]

The ramifications are abusing copyright takedowns? Good to know I can do that to people who say things I don't like. I sure hope Jim doesn't say anything bad!

[@LordRobaZe]

Freedom of speech is literally freedom from consequence. Thats what the whole fucking meaning of it is about you dummy.

[@MrRushhour4]

Yeah because having said a SINGLE word should really allow people to break the law to fuck with your revenue.

[@LordCrowstaff]

Freedom from Consequence vis-a-vis the government. NOT vis-a-vis anybody else.

[@MrRushhour4]

LordCrowstaff True but I dont think a single word should screw someones life up. Its a word, if the guy apologies why should anyone hold ill will against him. If you think otherwise I think it says more about you than about Pewds

[@diegocella6791]

Jim... you broke my sarcasm detector... -_-

[@koma9sensey]

[@elinfini]

Good grief.

[@funkyweapon1981]

I call it my Sarcastitector-9000.

[@IOxyrinchus]

I think every single KZbinr who's famous should each make an entire video of them swearing and throwing round racial slurs, let's see how the fucking advertisement companies deal with that. To hell with this de-monitization bullshit

[@DarkMProductions]

I don't think a rating system for KZbin would be a bad idea. Like maybe similar to how it is on TV; Y, Y7, G, PG, 14, and MA. This is where an automated system would actually be useful, I think, where it could scan the video, search for language, violence, etc, and issue it a rating based on what it found. Just a thought.

[@Ash-op2ql]

Dark Mountain Productions I mean, they kinda already have that though where you have to sign in and prove your age for certain videos and there's KZbin kids for even younger audiences. I don't inherently disagree with you, I think with the internet and all of us lying to be old enough to get a Facebook at one time or another makes it hard to verify age. And then on top of that you've still got parents taking little kids to movies (or tv shows$ they shouldn't see, despite the age warning. And then subsequently bitching that deadpool isn't little kid appropriate.

[@Dudelolwat]

All these people screaming about free speech issues without realizing KZbin actually does have the right to just say "No, you can't upload anything overtly racist or in support of racist groups", because big corporations have spent a long fucking time making sure they CAN control the content associated with their brand.

[@StrazdasLT]

but pewd never uploaded the video he said this on. he was streaming this on twitch and it has nothing to do with youtube. Furthermore, its not youtube, but developers of an unrelated videogame abusing DMCA thats taking his videos down.

[@Ruldolphmaker]

When a company this big and financially backed by the government (yes google is govt backed) exists, they are no longer an "individual" nor should they be considered as such. For the most part companies are treated as People. KZbin, much like Twatter is an unofficial superpac. Though it's a lot worse with the govt. funding. They team up with The Young Turks (Named after the people responsible for the Armenian genocide) and then browbeat any opinions to the right of Marx. Also don't even get me started on how all the featured guys such as Jimmey Kimmel, and Colbert somehow *dont have to follow the same rules as everyone else?* Good old Nepotism. Seriously watch ANY of their videos with an adblocker off. They can keep their ads, and they're already super fucking rich. Made worse by the fact that for all intents and purposes, youtube IS a monopoly. Who are it's competitors? Dailymotion? Vimeo? Neither are mass-appeal sites. Their other competitor was vidme who died. Meaning that despite all of this, *this is the only viable platform if you want to make it big with your content.* Also, such a thing as ethics exists, mate. Yes it's technically within their right to do this, however The fact that it's selectively enforced, the fact that KZbin DOES manipulate it's algorithms, and the fact that youtube doesnt care at fucking ALL about the small video maker is reason enough to be fucking upset. I personally wish more of the people i followed had alt Daily motion accounts or something.

[@hokumdog]

"Pewdiepie shouldn't be a part of the industry because he said things I don't like"

[@charlx8979]

Linyboo and thats a totally fair criticism from jim I worked in book retail and if a book publisher said death to jew or used racial slurs id want them fucking out of the industry too The fact that you DONT want terrible people to stop representing youtube says a lot more about you than anything else

Hm. You a cool ass dude. Glad this is the first video I've seen of you

Doesn't Jim show corn monsters deficating corn flakes? I feel like that hurts more people then Felix saying the N word.
