Linux doesn't need the kind of BS someone like that is involved with. Bigots, nazis, woman haters and similar ding dongs.
Ya think the Linux user base doesn't already contain those types? One would think writing off all his 110,000,000 subscribers with such generalizations would be obviously silly, like "all Linux users are introverted, anti-social neck beards" or something. Not that I'm any kind of a fan of PewDiePie, or streamers in general (especially the current crop of nuisance streamers facing serious consequences in Korea and Philippines - that's a fascinating phenomenon). But he did a really good job of selling the benefits of Linux and open source software in general. No LUG (even all the LUGs combined) can come close to having such an influence. Nor likely any global corporate ad campaign. I'll take it as a win.
