As laughable as it is to believe that I might actually endorse these people,” the YouTube star wrote, “to anyone unsure on my standpoint regarding hate-based groups: No, I don’t support these people in any way.”

Perhaps his immediate YouTube audience found the clip to be in jest, but observers elsewhere interpreted the video as anti-Semitic. The Daily Stormer, the white nationalist and neo-Nazi blog, posted an article on Jan. 12 applauding Kjellberg. “He could be doing all this only to cause a stir things up and get free publicity,” the Stormer wrote in a now-unavailable post (except via a cached version). “Ultimately, it doesn’t matter, since the effect is the same; it normalizes Nazism, and marginalizes our enemies.”
Let's let this sink in a bit further:
"...normalizes Nazism, and marginalizes our enemies..."
I DO NOT understand what is supposedly so fucking funny about nazism, anti-Semitism, genocide, swastikas, or the current Internet memes surrounding them. I find it absolutely abhorrent, and ANYONE that promotes these memes and images should be shunned, NOT PAID millions of dollars.
FUCK OFF PEW DIE PIE!
