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?

This is just the tip of the iceberg, the example that's easy to cite. Over time in his videos he made a welcoming environment for fascist and hateful groups to feel welcome and at home. The more apt comparison is that if you run a bar, and you don't kick Nazis out, you own a Nazi bar.

I think you are wrong. He did some mistakes but they were not a tip of an iceberg. I was there watching the videos at that time and I never saw anything that fostered a racist or homophobic environment. He didn't make specifically anti-racism content and the only LGBTQ related thing he did was offering a different view on the drama related to a queer make up artist.
