"ANTI-JEW-DIEPIE" YOUTUBE SUPERSTAR BOOSTS "NAZI" CHANNEL AS McINNES FALLS FOUL OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT

PewDiePie (Felix Kjellberg) the most popular vlogger on anti-free-speech platform YouTube has given a massive boost to another YouTube channel E;R, which, according to the mass media, is an anti-Semitic, "hate speech" channel.

As reported by The Verge:

In Kjellberg’s most recent edition of “Pew News,” a semi-satirical series where Kjellberg offers his own take on news events or YouTube cultural discussions, he dedicates the last portion of the video to shouting out smaller YouTube creators he enjoys watching. One of those creators is E;R (otherwise known as “EsemicolonR”), an essayist who often includes anti-Semitic, sexist, homophobic, and cruel language in his videos.

“You also have E;R, who does great video essays,” Kjellberg says in the video. “He did one on Death Note, which I really, really enjoyed.”

In one example — a video Kjellberg publicly liked, leaving a comment underneath — E;R uses aerial footage of the moment when a car drove through a crowd of people during the white supremacist-led “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville last year. The incident left multiple people injured and one protester, Heather Heyer, dead. E;R turns a scene from Netflix’s live-action Death Note movie, describing how a death is carried out when a name is written inside the titular notebook, into a joke about Heyer’s death using actual footage from Charlottesville.

Although that’s the video Kjellberg is the most visible fan of, E;R’s Death Note video is just one offensive video in an ocean of hateful content. A video from 2016 with more than 2.1 million views called “Steven Rapeyverse, Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love to Fuse” is particularly egregious. It calls the Steven Universe creator “a Jew,” includes sexist and ableist jokes, and includes a four-minute unedited speech from Adolph Hitler.

Many of E;R’s videos are similar, with plugs to his BitChute channel and Gab profile — both websites that are heavily affiliated with the alt-right. E;R’s personal Gab account features comments about the “Jewish Question,” a hateful conspiracy theory.

I haven't watched E;R, but if the MSM is saying this, you have to assume there is a pretty good chance that they are lying, exaggerating heavily, or taking things out of context. But just maybe it is a Neo-Nazi channel, in which case why would PewDiePie be doing this? 

Maybe it's because YouTube is going through one of its increasingly frequent censorship pogroms. Just the day before, YouTube banned Gavin McInnes and several others right-wing accounts. And this is just Pewdiepie's way of reminding YouTube that he is too big to ban, if ever they should get ideas about doing that. 

But another benefit of this is that it triggers the Leftist media and makes PewDiePie seem much edgier than he really is. His channel, remember, is just fluff about computer games. Pewdiepie's problem is not popularity -- he already has that. His problem is that his vast audience might wake up to the fact that his content is essentially vacuous and trivial. Throwing in a little bit of heretical dissent like this, helps to maintain the impression that his channel is somehow "dangerous" and "edgy" instead of "goofy" and "banal."

As for McInnes' ban from YouTube, this apparently had little to do with his "dangerous" content and "thought crimes." Everybody already knows that McInnes is an Israel-loving, multiculturalist, civic nationalist Libertarian with dildo issues, so that makes sense. 

As reported here, the recent news that the Proud Boys were classified as an extremist hate organisation turned out to be fake news. 

CNET has therefore come up with a much simpler explanation of what happened:

A wrinkle in the latest ban against McInnes is that his YouTube account termination was attributed to copyright violations. Most other platforms, like Facebook and Twitter, have blocked McInnes because of their community standards, which contain rules about hate speech and violent rhetoric.

"This account has been terminated because we received multiple third-party claims of copyright infringement regarding material the user posted," the message read.

A YouTube representative said in a statement that when a copyright holder notifies YouTube about infringement, the company acts quickly to remove infringing content as required by law. "We terminate the accounts of repeat offenders," the rep said. 

Looks like McInnes was too busy doing something else rather than deal with all the copyright infringement claims against his channel.
