PewDiePie has been talking a lot about him since the beginning of the week, and not necessarily in good. The famous YouTuber has once again held racist statements in full direct and these are not frankly unnoticed.

PewDiePie, in his real name Felix Kjellberg, is a real star on the video platform of Goog and he thus counts a little more than 57 million subscribers to his channel.
The years, however, were not tender with Swedish and latter thus found himself repeatedly in the heart of sharp polemics.
PewDiePie and a new Polemics
Last February, PewDiePie was the target of criticism on the Internet and many people accused him as well to hold regular anti-Semitic remarks. He had notably accused of crossing the line by paying two Indians to raise a sign on which was written a message calling to kill all Jews.
Following the release of this video, the Wall Street Journal conducted a survey of long-term and colleagues identified nine videos containing racist or anti-Semitic passages.
PewDiePie tried several times to calm the situation, but his efforts did not have the expected success and several sponsors turned his back on it. One would have thought that this experience would have been a lesson to him, but it would seem that this is not the case.
At the end of the week, during the live test of Player Unknown's Battleground, the YouTuber has indeed let out several racist insults and in particular the famous word in "n", a word that is obviously not completely unnoticed and which provoked a true lifting On the part of Internet users and the media.
However, the fire has not been limited to the media sphere, and the controversy has thus attracted the attention of Sean Vanaman, creator of the inescapable Firewatch. Not especially enjoying the joke, the man announced on Twitter that his company was planning to file a complaint against the star of YouTube.

According to him, PewDiePie is indeed going too far and it is irresponsible to let talk like that to his audience, an audience of several million people, and many adolescents.
The man did not stay there, and he also made his meaculpa by declaring that he himself was complicit in the actions of the YouTuber by not raising himself against him. As a result, he decided to ban any dissemination in connection with the products of his company.
He did not want his work to be assimilated to such a point
