    What incident? People started sharing his videos because he’s cool now, I guess, I can’t even listen to his voice

        As a fellow swede, I can understand why this was particularly rough for him, as he most likely used it just like many of us used English curse words and slurs very casually when we were young. They weren’t words we understood, or knew the history of, and parents/teachers didn’t really stop us or teach us when we heard them. We knew they were said in media, on TV and in movies, so we picked it up without much regard for meaning.

        So for him to slip out an N-word is unfortunate, but definitely doesn’t make me think he’s racist or anything. Just like my friends and I who grew up using bad words like this, but we all grew up to be progressive and accepting of everyone. It doesn’t have to reflect anything within PDP himself, even though it’s highly offensive to the audience hearing it.

        Just very unfortunate for everyone involved.

          I agree, when I was younger we would use worse words and, although I understand better now how they will be received, I could swear there was never any value associated with them back then. They were just descriptive words in the same way one would call a spade a spade - whether the spade is good or bad depends on the spade.

          He’s also a product of toxic gamer culture, the N word is almost like teenagers calling things gay… doesn’t mean they hate homosexuals.

          This is not to advocate for what he said at all.

            Exactly. Exactly my sentiment. It was really inappropriate, but was not produced from malintent or anything like that, just an expletive, any expletive, and that happened to come out because it was the most edgy bad word that just popped up. Super bad, but, you know. 🤦‍♂️
