After his tweet fans in his support started suggesting, as to why the murderer took his name

He said that about @pewdiepie because of his audience (90 million on YT) and follower base. It helps spread his word and his thoughts, instead of being forgot about two days later when the media moves on. And a large majority of Pewds followers are young.

The shooter only said this to troll the media and now the media and Twitter is caving into the shooter s wishes. It was obvious the whole time that he was saying a bunch of internet memes and name dropping people he didn t like or wanted to mess with. He was a 4channer after all.

You had nothing to do with the tragedy that has unfolded, nor did you ask for your name to be invoked by a crazy, violent person. Every individual is responsible for his or her own actions. Be well.

How does Shapiro relate with pewds??? Pewds explicitly said in one of his videos that he can not tolerate people who violates the law just so they could make a difference to subscribe to him and do you really think a mass MURDERER isn t mentally ill???

This is what the Pewdiepie fan base is actually about, positivity and support and not what the monster did in Christchurch. We support and love older hard working and passionate Youtubers. We donate to charity. Don t let anyone tell you otherwise.
