It's stupid, he said things a lot worse than that in the past and Disneys fine with it. Its either you crack down on the first "offensive" things or don't at all.
PewDiePie kicked off from Disney/Maker Studios

- Start date

safe space? I didn't mention anything about being offended. I'm all into black humour but jokes usually have a punchline. You know the bit where people go "hah hah" You said that pewdiepie is a "comedian." I guess he is if you're a "bro" and you 're 13 years old or something. So edgy.

I think being the number one YouTuber has pumped his ego a bit, and he's been pushing the envelope too far lately. Hopefully this will humble him some.
Crown, I think it's the fact they were acting silly snatching the sign, opened the sign above their head and said subscribe to keemstar. That is shock humor.
The shock was the sentence on the sign, and I think most people found humor when they said subscribe to keemstar.
As with every thing comedic some people will laugh and others won't. There is no universal joke that will make everyone laugh.

He made poor people hold an atrocious sign for money. Next step up would be paying homeless people to have a knife fight.
If there's a joke here, it's how a white out-of-touch and unfunny rich ***hole thinks he can't be engaging in anti-Semitic actions because "But it's a joke, obviously I don't believe it!"
Jokes need the right context, moreso when dealing with serious material. The context here is PDP is a jack***.
Emboldening neo-Nazis doesn't necessarily make you a neo-Nazi, but perhaps when Stormfront features you on it's front page with glowing praise it's time to re-examine what the **** is wrong with you.[DOUBLEPOST=1487114072,1487113661][/DOUBLEPOST]
Uses the "safe space" insult.
Can't stand seeing a YTer he watches get criticized.
LOL

We have to remember the reason for the video was to show what people would do for 5 bucks and the guys dancing with the sign didnt know what it said they just copied the letters and did their job. Pewdiepie's reaction is one of shock that they did it. As far as Disney is concerned they didnt have a problem with the video that came out mid last month until WSJ put together their piece demonizing him for it. IMO the video WSJ edited together is like propaganda, they made him look bad to sell their papers. Forbes followed up with a piece warning advertisers about advertising with influences on social media because we would be unpredictable. It makes me wonder if WSJ didnt see this as a way to take a shot at YouTube biggest guy and thereby YouTube itself to try to bring some people back to advertising with their dying media. Of course after the story broke the way they spun it the damage was done and Disney & google had to pull back or face the wrath of the SJWs that dont look into the situation before they start screaming for a boycott. BTW I am not a subscriber of his and I am just looking at this from an outside perspective.

It's a chemical you use to disinfect wounds, like the 1s people apparently get from words these days.
Jokes aside, I'm surprised Disney even took him on board to begin with, not because I think his content is all that bad but because I think the type of company Disney is, doesn't fit with PewDiePie. Like Disney have an image, especially amongst very young children and PewDiePie well, not so much lol I think it's for the better and he should be fine assuming YouTube doesn't try to drop him as well, they did disable his monetisation from what I've heard, he's gonna lose a lot of money but won't be broke in the near future. There's other networks who I'm sure would love to snatch him up as well, if not, he can always create his own, which he kind of did with Revel but since that's technically under Maker, I think he loses that?
