i generally agree, as a european i also said dumb shit because i lack the cultural knowledge WHY certain words are problematic. but pewdiepie was always kind of close to some weird folk. we all probably forgot about the meme review with ben shapiro and elon musk - that was before the "bridge incident" - there was also the t-series stuff which started out as a funny thing in good faith but it normalized racism. his song "removed lasagna" starts with "bobs or vegana, whatever will it be?" and includes lines like "hold your defecation"
