Added religious beliefs to "Personal Life"

If someone thinks this should go somewhere I else that is fine but I couldn't think of any better place other than personal life to put something like that. I wanted to add this info for those who may want to know. He has said this before in his videos. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Br467322 (talk • contribs) 14:16, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Ambiguous statement

In the career section in 2017, it says a video "appears" to show him saying a racial slur, when in reality it does show him using a racial slur. The word "appears" is completely unnecessary and only creates confusion. Crockett1 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 09:02, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

PewDiePie's Twitch Thot Comment

Why does it say he said it about Alinity where if you watch the video at least once, you can clearly see he was saying it while watching a video of STPeach? It's not like it's hard to tell, STPeach is blonde and Alinity is not. Alinity reacted to his video on her stream and was so angered by his comment that she asked if she could copyright it. This is why people say Wikipedia can't be trusted because you don't fact check something like this which is not even difficult to do. Dankthony Daniels (talk) 01:34, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

Adding a controversy section

I think we should have a discussion here on it. Personally, I disagree with having one, especially as a section. Maybe as a subsection or incorporated within the public image section (maybe)? But I think his controversies happen largely due to his actual YouTube content/videos. His videos are very meta as they refer to it, as well. Like I would mention Pew News in his history section. It's different from say Kanye West saying or doing something controversial in the media, totally outside of a song of his.

Separating the sections like this make it read like a huge chunk of his channel's history is missing in that section. Especially as someone who's been writing on this article for 8 or years, it makes it have a very choppy understanding of the chronology of his history on YouTube.

For the purposes of Wikipedia, it becomes largely redundant and opens the door to a lot of overlapping information to try and separate a YouTuber from their eponymous YouTube channel. I did it with Philip DeFranco and The Philip DeFranco Show, but DeFranco has branched out and tried to launch several projects. Within an article, it's a similar concept I believe. For PewDiePie, I think the controversies are just too connected with his channel's history to have both of these be true: 1. really create a smooth chronological reading of his channel's history and 2. not have a controversy section later on in the article that would read as redundant.

There is also the concern brought up by Wikipedia:Criticism#"Controversy" section, which I think is handy advice.

I'm obviously open and okay with having a discussion/dialogue about this.

"40 Indian paramilitary troops were game ended by a member of a Pakistan-based jihadist group" should be changed to "40 Indian paramilitary troops were killed by a member of a Pakistan-based jihadist group" Pkrsie (talk) 03:36, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
