Well said

Did you watch the video or just read what vice said? Also he didn't make a video called death to all Jews. If you watched him or saw the single video you're probably referencing you would know that.

Dude- ok. Short version- in this crazy modern world, Mr. Pie saw that money could buy anything and decided to try and see if a platform where people would do things for $5 would do something he claims is insane- hold up a sign calling for the “death of all Jews.” Oh. Ok. Well... HE doesn’t want Jews to die. He just wanted to see if someone would hold up a sign for $5. Well then. Case closed.

Oh wait. No. Not closed. 1. People DO hold up signs and make statements like “death to all Jews” ALL THE TIME FOR FREE. Whole nations have that as foreign policy. So... it’s not that crazy is it? And given the last... several thousand years of world history... of ALL the crazy stunts or extreme things he could choose THAT was the one? Hmmmm....

2. If the point of this stint in his own words was to test what people would do for $5- to see if people would do something like that for money... he already had his answer. He’s a paid personality. HE pulled that stunt and filmed it FOR MONEY. It was part of his brand. Meant to get views. If the point is what people will do for money... isn’t he already an experiment in that? Perhaps: “I’m so ashamed guys- I thought of doing this for money...” and then not doing it would make the same point no?

3. Bum fights paid homeless to fight each other. People pay the poor or homeless to do tricks and debase themselves all the time. Why didn’t he offer someone without much money cash for sexual favors? “15 year old kid lets me poop on them for a Pokémon card!” That’s too far isn’t it? We can hopefully all agree that if you shit on a kid for money to make some abstract point about society that you’ve crossed a line right?

So I mean... is he anti Semitic? We’ve just discussed ONE high profile instance of many complaints from various organizations about various imagery or language etc. from across his catalog. I don’t know the guy. Maybe he isn’t. Or maybe some part of him is and he’s not even aware or doesn’t want to face that. But he did do several things that he didn’t need to, were agreed by many to be beyond bad taste and common sense, and whatever reason you showcase the message “death to all Jews” that is an anti Semitic message.

In a history book, a historical movie etc that is still an anti semantic message- but most of the time in context most people will agree that it is not propagating anti Semitic sentiment. Paying someone to make and display a sign with hate speech while you laugh and hope your fans laugh to make YouTube money isn’t meant in any way to shine a light on hate or not forget or repeat history. Whatever the intended message there is a distinction between exploitation and exhibition.
