I openly admit to mischaracterizing his comment as a "racial rant", but I have done significant reading and research since, and I remain convinced that he doesn't necessarily advocate for racial organizations. I mean, most of the gaming community is wont to throw around terms and insults which are very inappropriate and it doesn't make them an ardent practicer of any type of hate organization.
What I've realized is that his racial commentary, light spirited or not, is hurting other people. If you're doing something offensive and other people start getting affected, that's when you as a man need to take responsibility for your actions and tone it down. I'm well versed in the gaming community and I've seen so many people just drop racial slurs like it was nothing just to "sound cool". No one is saying that his channel is a white supremacy outlet. They're saying that advertisers don't necessarily like to be associated with any type of controversy. PewDiePie is affecting Youtube streamers. I personally admit to not liking him and I tolerate him by "ignoring" him (as Hammet said), however when his actions affect other streamers that's when I have to draw a line and tell him to watch himself. His actions are insensitive, but what's more important is that his insensitivity and frank, colorful dialogue are affecting ad revenue, which is a major cog in the online streaming community.
Well he's still obviously not going anywhere (at least thats my conclusion from what happened last time) so if you as a content creator don't like it you have 2 options.
Deal with it or Leave the community.
