first half: pdp is shitty, she has different reasons but we agree on the general point that he's shitty but whatever, people like him but not enough that Disney isn't dropping him, okay whatever, it's their business
second half: The Daily Stormer includes him in their banner...ALT-RIGHT TRUMP ("the alt-right’s preferred social media platform, Gab") POSTS IN SUPPORT ALTERNATIVE FACTS HITLER UNSUBSCRIBE (“With PewDiePie, the question is, How did it take them so long?” [Heidi Beirich, director of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Project] says of Disney and YouTube dumping PewDiePie. ... “
