He’s had some controversial things. In 2017 he said the n-word while live streaming a game. The other big one I know of is he made a video where he showed he has paid one of those fiverr groups of Indian children to hold up a sign that said “death to all Jews”. Pewdiepie didn’t think they would actually do it.
They are really not great situations, and the second one I mentioned he should have realised was a bad idea and not done at all. Back in that 2017 era he positioned himself as an edgier meme YouTube, but he has since apologized and vastly changed his content, and i personally believe he’s a very changed person from a decade ago. But the stigma has stuck around.
I can direct you to some Kipling stories where he calls everyone not a WASP the n-word. I can’t direct you to a modern Brit doing the same thing IRL but trust me, they exist.
That’s not the case anymore. Now they’d use “wog” for that.
One of our local members of parliament, a youngish woman who had clearly read too much Enid Blyton, responded to a constitutent’s query with the phrase “n**er in the woodpile.” It not being the 1930s anymore, this was greeted with derision.
Decent human beings in every country find that word offensive (with the exception of the people of color slang culture saying it among each other). The people not finding it offensive are mentally ill hate-filled racists.

Nobody really uses that word other that in the US. Everyone on the internet that knows that word knows it with the context already.

So they do exist and public figures using it are treated about the same way it is is America, glad we agree.

Yeah, but as a swede myself I definitely know it’s a no no word especially as by that time other YouTube’s already had their own n-word controversies.
