Comment on Youtuber PewDiePie is going all in on deGoogling and the Steam Deck is one of the surprising tools that's helping him to 'escape'

  You're exposing your privilege and lack of understanding other perspectives.

  Not everyone grew up knowing the impact words or phrases have on marginalized communities. I reflect on the day I learned women think twice about going for a runs at night. Growing up a white-passing guy in a relatively safe neighborhood, the possibility of getting raped was a foreign concept, but a sad reality for many women. In that same vein, you lack the humility to consider people like me, who grow up in an environment where slurs were common and "just a joke".

  I've educated myself, learned from my past, reflected on how my actions may have impacted others at the time and walked away from ignorance. I am not who I used to be, and we must allow people to grow, or would you prefer to see no change?

  If you grew up perfect, you should feel blessed that you've had the opportunity. Not everyone gets that.

  Why do you say that?

  Look at all the so-called “subtle bigotry” that predominates western media and then ask yourself why you expect anything else.

    Bruh, he literally paid some people to wave a sign that said, “Death to all Jews.” Link to Vox

    “Subtle bigotry,” my ass.

      1. I did say " subtle".

      2. I wasn’t talking about mainstream shit but I wasn’t thinking about him per se. More so commonly watched movies, TV shows and the manner in which the news presents certain people and parts of the world. I’ve never seen his content.
