    He said the nword once (terrible thing), almost a decade ago, apologized for it and improved (I guess) as a person
    I’m sick of internet people calling for a guillotine whenever someone makes a mistake even once

      The person I was responding to said

      I personally love him for being the same guy all this years.

      My point was not necessarily that he needs to be excommunicated from humanity, but that they might want to reconsider whether him “being the same guy all this years” is a good thing

      (I do not actually give a single shit about Pewdiepie in any fashion positive or negative)

      yeah, its part of why the internet sucks, you make some bad decisions, fall for some stupid propaganda or listen to the wrong person, and you’re branded forever. People make bad decisions. It happens.

      gods forbid someone make a mistake and then take a step back to reexamine their lives to try and be a better person.
