Really didn't like him when he was younger, he was a naive swedish kid that didn't realize that the dumb shit he said online had ramifications because his audience was so big. He helped platform Ben Shapiro to a younger generation when he had him on his channel for a video, he had that scandal where he said the n word, and then of course the clip where he says the glass ceiling doesn't exist. It's clear to me he didn't realize the cultural and political ramifications of that stuff in America because he was never really exposed to it growing up in Sweden, and he was a cocky 20 something that thought he knew everything.

I hope these days he's realizing how idiotic some of that shit was and is actually trying to use his platform to make his viewers aware of valid issues rather than spouting off about topics he knows nothing about to his viewers who take his word as truth.

He also paid some Africans to hold an anti-semitic sign. To prove people will do things for money I think?

The entire thesis of that video was "fiver and things like that lead to exploitation of the global poor", the sign thing was just a catchy clickbait thing.

Can you write here what was in that sign? That catch clickbaity thing that Felix ordered?

As in, would it violate the terms of service here?

He's a dumbass.

I think his reasoning was to see how far the sign holding folks would go for money, and they apparently didn't really have any limits. Should he have done and shown it on youtube is the thing he can be criticized for

That's pretty apalling.

What kind of following sticks with someone who humiliates people just because they could use extra grocery money? Just because he had so much cash that he could take a voyercation to somewhere unfamiliar to do it?

If he's come to his senses, fine. Anyway if new users can't figure out CWs and pronouns... that's why we have de-fed, block, and filter...

Maybe someone thought genocide imagery and messaging was a ha ha funny toy. I'm not over it, as someone who deals with hatecrimey stuff on the reg.
