"I made the mistake of picking a charity I was advised to instead of picking a charity that I'm personally passionate about, which is 100% my fault," the Swedish star, real name Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg, says.
"Usually when I pick a charity I take my time. I find a charity I'm really excited about and actually passionate to donate to, so when I uploaded the video talking about the charity, it was very brief and people could something was off. "I saw it as an opportunity to put an end to these alt-right claims that have been thrown against me. It wasn't to try and clear my name or save grace. If it was I would have done it years ago."
mostly hate on this... Wonder why. I would like to personally thank you for directly, and continuously contributing to the fall of journalism 👏👏
Well you messed up BBc
whoever wrote this story should be fired for under-researching and making a biased point. The facts are so twisted. shame on you BBC
Let the man play Minecraft ffs🤦🏽♂️
ADL itself is a hate group.
More fitting title: Skeevey Journos grift for clicks.
Whatever he does his subs increase. Guy is Teflon. He said n$&$3r during a stream and his subs increased.
What's happened to you BBC that you've resorted to the same garbage journalism as all the American media outlets?
Good for PewDiePie... the ADL is a Hate Group!
Never heard of her.
A hate group that targeted him, despite being innocent, resulting in his show being pulled, and has allegedly covered up actual murders and supported child genital mutilation. Any chance to frame people you don’t align with in a misleading light.
I love how the news report that PewDiePie is cancelling his donation to the ADL, but never actually reported him when he offered to make the donation in the first place. Very biased
God I’m old..I don’t have a clue who blah de blah is...genuinely...
The ADL is an anti hate group in the same way Antifa is anti fascist and bbcnews is an impartial news organisation
Who ?
Who?
Hyena ethics AKA 'My revenue stream makes the call'.
They slander peoples names for no good reason, they are a hate group, not an anti-hate group.
way to hit them where it hurts most
I'm not sure you could have put a more disingenuous angle on this story if you tried. Its highly misleading of you to purposely omit the reasons behind his decision to pull the donation.
Lol dude has an iron cross on his collar. *awaits 'akssshhually!'*
It must be tricky for pewdiepie given the amount of focus he gets due to his huge influence. My advice to him is to keep doing what he is doing and not bow to any pressure to be a philanthropist. He's earnt his money fair and square
It's a hate group, not an 'anti-hate' group. As for the youtuber, couldn't care less about him.
This guy is a walking fuck-up, but because he’s “famous” (followed by people with no lives), and a massive draw for YouTube, he gets away with everything.
I have seen savvy people promote themselves by giving to charity, by getting tons of free advertising in response. Now you can get advertising by NOT giving? Why are you guys promoting him for this?
Good. Don't give money to people who hate you.
Good for him
pro-censorship group, you mean
'Man changes choice of charity to give money to.' That's like me going to one charity shop and deciding not to buy anything, then going to another and buying, but, like , on a bigger scale. This headline (intentionally) makes it sounds like he is pro-hate, but that isn't the case
The anti-hate group hate haters
He must be Prat of the year.
Very poor
Who ?
Good for him for not paying the race hustlers and blackmailers, ADL are partisan smear merchants
The ADL are not an 'anti-hate group'. They are a hate group. They smear people until they give in and make a donation. The mafia would be proud.
It should have gone to pro-hate groups.

who de who
pewdiepie cancels $50,000 donation to the hungarian mafia: 'sheeeiiitt'
I do rather wonder if my total bafflement at every element of this story up to and including his name is how my grandparents reacted to Rock & Roll.
