These news sites included the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Sun. The allegations consisted of lies and poor opinions stating that Pewdiepie was a Jew-hating Nazi. These were of course were not true. The allegations were made because of a couple of jokes that Pewdiepie made in some of his videos, making fun of Nazis. The news, who has no humor, took this seriously and immediately labeled Pewdiepie as a Nazi. Many major followers of some news sites criticized him, even if they had not seen the videos. Fake news like this can be critical on anyone, especially people with many followers like Pewdiepie. After the allegations, Pewdiepie made a response video talking about all the lies that the news said about him. In the video he is clearly upset and even cries in the video. Why did he cry? Because the allegations caused Disney to drop their million dollar sponsorship. The allegations also caused millions of hate comments in Pewdiepie's next videos. Fortunately many fellow YouTubers defended Pewdiepie including, Pyrocinical, H3H3 Productions, and GradeAUnderA. They defended Pewdiepie in their videos saying that Pewdiepie did not mean for the jokes to be taken seriously. In one of Pewdiepie's videos he actually plays a game where he is a sniper in WWII and kills Hitler.
