Yeah. Guy does a few Nazi things and anti-Semitic things a few years ago and he has to live with that reputation forever?
.
And come on, why are you living in the past? Just because Kanye straight off said some Nazi shit every few months? Dude, separate the art from the artist!
Oh, and Kevin Spacey did a bit of rape back then. But it was so long ago!
And while we’re here, Bill Cosby drugged those girls in the 70s. Like my dude, who wasn’t a little edgy back then?
Is there an avenue to getting off the hook? Apologizing and not doing it again? Or does he lose everything for the rest of his life?
For context, I barely know who pewdiepie is. I just have to imagine that when public figures fuck up, maybe there’s a spectrum of available consequences other than “they must lose their job and never been spoken of again.”
And indeed, it does seem to be a Vetements piece he’s wearing. I could not however find the exact outfit, but those are the Georgian designer’s signature, in Georgian letters, which can be compared here:
In looking through some videos from that era, he is wearing multiple articles of clothing from Vetements which tracks. So it’s not a one off piece of clothing he was wearing from that company.
As for the cross, it is a design used in Georgia, including on their traditional flags:

Yes, because those are all equivalent situations

You’re going to equate a word with being a Nazi and rape? Using a racial slur is literally a small subset of being a Nazi.

Nah I’m saying you say racist shit, you don’t get off the hook.

So I decided to look up the article, and see what the defense was.

And it is known as a Bolnisi Cross
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolnisi_cross
It is similar to the German iron cross, except the iron cross always has white or iron bolding, which the Bolnisi Cross does not

Didn’t the dude literally dress up like a Nazi as a joke? Or am I misremembering.
VitoRobles@lemmy.today 1 day ago
You’re not misremembering.
He had a team scrub that off the internet and now a bunch of people have been gaslit.

I’m not that familiar, tbh.

For what it’s worth, Kevin Spacey has not been found guilty of anything. He was found not liable in New York and acquitted in the UK.
