Here, I will tell you another "unpopular opinion":

There are A LOT of famous Youtubers that did and said worse things than Pewdiepie. Good ones like Idubbbz, h3h3 (if you take them out of context) or bad ones like all the youtubers Idubbbz made a content cop on. And Youtube doesnt any problems with them, in fact, they still promote their content.

But the only difference was, they didnt have over 50M subs. You can say that "well since you are more popular than others, you should be careful of what you're saying since it can affect your audience". But doesnt that sound a lot like discrimination to you? Why does one should have less freedom that others just because he is more popular?

In the end, a joke is a joke. And that joke got Youtube over 10M views and now it is probably creating a whole new drama that every other video that mentions it, will also get a lot of views. And I'm pretty sure Youtube is ok with that. But since now Felix has over 50M subs, the media has to get into it, I mean even J.K. Rowling got into this "clickbait" trend and thought Felix is a racist. Cause may I remind you, back in 2012, Pewdiepie used to make A LOT of rape joke but hey, that was ok since he didnt have 50M subs back then.
