PewDiePie made a video on why he installed Linux and explained why everyone should do it too. Due to his number of followers, this might be the year of the Linux Desktop? Hooray?

It certainly is when not saying such things seriously. Pushing the boundaries of what's acceptable is very common in gamer circles and is incredibly immature.

And age has little to do with maturity, I've seen plenty of 40+ people saying very immature things for attention.

Do you know how many non-americans casually use the n word be cause they don't understand the repercussions? It's all the fuckin time, especially among white Europeans.

what do you get out of defending a white supremacist using this term? unless you feel entitled to using it?

I am, but I'm married to a POC with POC friends and coworkers, so I'm pretty familiar with the harm slurs can cause. But yes, any slur can be used non-seriously, because it's the intent behind the words that really matters. It's still incredibly immature to say stuff just to piss people off.
