Fake News outlet WSJ go after youtuber Pewdiepie for being a "nazi".

Well you can't make this up. One of the journalists who wrote this hit piece has been making jokes about nazis himself.

How is this a joke about nazis? He's talking about discovering how good Jews were at frying food at a holiday party.

That pretty much describes 50% of youtube right now. Except they record themselves playing video games. Board games might be just the twist needed to stand out. Good luck.

Nope, people already have Warhammer channels on YouTube and they're not that popular.

The "Jews are good at frying" could be interpreted to be a reference to them being killed in ovens by the Nazis.

Though I'm not sure it was meant as a joke. It could have just been a poor choice of words on his part.

Yep, I love Sanguinius.

In the context of a Chanukah party? Context matters.

Or it could be someone determined to see what's just not there. It takes some deliberate snipping away of context to see those words as somehow offensive.

Well, yes it was in the context of a party. The joke, if there was intended to be a joke, was the double meaning of the use "frying." That Jews are good at frying food (at the party) and are good at being fried (by the Nazis).

Again, I expect any such pun or joke was unintentional, but I can see how someone could read it that way.

There's a very high chance it was meant as such a joke. But dark humor on some random reporter's Twitter feed is pretty low on the list of the things I'm worried about.

Yeah, watching table top gaming isn't necessarily compelling content, no matter how much I like it. The painters get some good views though.

They basically acussed him of being an anti-semite who uses nazi images in his videos. The problem of taking him out of context still remains however.

Sounds sorta like how some rock groups back in the late 60s and early 70s used some Satanic imagery and references for the shock value and to create controversy (i.e., gain attention/publicity).

It takes a sick mind to see such a "joke" IMO.

That's why I said recording board games might be just the twist to get people to notice.
