Felix Kjellberg
After utilizing anti-Semitic language and Nazi propaganda in one of his tweets, YouTuber Felix Kjellberg (aka PewDiePie) found himself in hot water. When he slipped and said the N-word during one of his live streams in 2017, viewers were enraged. He issued an instant official apology, claiming that he said it “in the heat of the moment” and that it was “one of the worst things” he could have said. “I’m not attempting to provide any justifications for what I did because there aren’t any.”

Even though they specifically acknowledged that they were doing so when they published photographs of their newly dyed hair and dreads, these YouTubers were accused of racial appropriation. “2 Years of Cultural Appropriating,” the caption reads, hinting that they couldn’t care less about who they offended. Anger erupted on social media, with users accusing the couple of being racist and inconsiderate, stating that black people are already stigmatized for wearing dreadlocks. They have refused to make an explicit apology. *heavily rolls his eyes*
