Swedish YouTube star Felix Kjellberg, more commonly known by his alias PewDiePie, has made headlines once again for using racist language. According to Slate, PewDiePie casually used the n-word during a live video game stream. “What a fucking n****r! Jeeze. Oh, my god, what the fuck? Sorry, but what the fuck? What a fucking asshole! I don’t mean that in a bad way—Jesus, fuck. Why would he do that? Legit, why would he do that?,” said Kjellberg. He then tossed his head back and laughed after realizing what he said. Co-founder of the videogame studio Campo Santo Sean Vanaman tweeted that he would be asking YouTube to remove any PewDiePie content that showed footage from his games, including the popular Firewatch.
We're filing a DMCA takedown of PewDiePie's Firewatch content and any future Campo Santo games.
