You're free to feel what you like, just as much as Disney and Youtube are free to remove their investments from an increasingly toxic brand. "Nine videos that include either antisemitic jokes or Nazi imagery" are hardly an accident.
Whatever PewDiePie's youtube persona is, it does not change what is said on camera, nor does it mitigate his effect on impressionable audiences.
People can multitask; we can worry about the rise of unabashed racial hatred in the western world (https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017/02/10/post-election-bias-incidents-1372-new-collaboration-propublica) and the ill effects of YouTubers flagrantly quoting and spreading antisemitism to young audiences.
When you say "the media" who exactly are you talking about? Because I certainly didn't know about him being racist until this particular incident. Are there any specific articles mentioning this?
But another bit you mentioned is more important: "when the site banned [the performers]". Pewdiepie caught some flack, but he still has his channel and the income from it. As far as I can tell, being on Fiverr was a much bigger financial deal for those two dancers who (presumably) did not understand the weight of the statement.
They got their account back (http://www.wetheunicorns.com/news/pewdiepie-fiverr-apology-dancers/), but what if they didn't? You said he got someone else (Jesus?) banned, and donated money to that person as well. Wouldn't it have been better if no one got banned because Pewdiepie was trying to make some kind of statement?
Like it or not, Pewdiepie is a public figure and with that comes responsibility and consequences for bad behaviour.

It actually reeks of forced-out click-bait to me. No offence to OP, but when the author writes "the game's creators replaced many of the internal mechanics with new rules that nobody has quite made sense of yet" without detailing the changes or without even mentioning Monkey King, then it really seems like an article by someone who doesn't know DOTA 2 that well (if at all).
Absolutely
This absolutely needs musical accompaniment. Off the top of my head, try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdWo7qxp-s8
Geeettttttt dunked on!!!
They're going to be one of the real tests, aren't they? To see if Imzy really is genuine about making a safer non-harassing space for its users?
If KiA wants to leave their "third parties" behind and start afresh, I'm ok with that. But man, history has shown they have trouble with letting go.
Words will never truly adequately express how much I love this comic, but I'm especially happy with how the comic is (in some way) freeing Bart and Chris from their old lives.
I always felt that Family Guy (and later episodes of the Simpsons) were sitcom hells, where the casts would experience all kinds of zany and supposedly life-changing things, only to have everything revert back to the status quo.
Back to working a job one'll never be promoted from; back to a household that will always have the same unaging faces (except in special time-jump episodes); and of course, back to the abuse.
If only we could all be as excellent a buckaroo as Chuck Tingle
Frankly, I don't see why folks keep holding up TF2 against Overwatch. They're visually similar, but Overwatch is a shooter with strong MOBA elements: significant ability cooldowns, 6v6 tactical matches vs TF2's crazier 12v12, and of course, a hefty price-tag.
It'll be a while before I can try out Overwatch myself because of computer limitations (another factor that'll keep TF2 players with older rigs from going immediately for an outright switch), but the general Overwatch experience is going to be quite different from what you'll get in the usual TF2 matches, wacky light-hearted brawls with players leeroying in for explosive craziness.
Arguably, Overwatch feels more like what TF2 wants for it's ranked matchmaking games: 6v6 games of serious high-tension fights where every move and shot has to be done with risk in mind.
Does this mean Modern Warfare and others are going (or have already gone) the route of Fifa 20XX and John Madden's Whatever?
The realistic shooters aren't my bag, but I've already gotten the impression that they're just rehashing the games at this point, on slapping a new layer of graphics and throwing in a few new game mechanics, but with little else to truly differentiate them from other realistic shooters.
I'll have to check, but they've been at this for a while now. A lot of other multi-player multi-character games are following suit, including ones with a similar history to LoL in terms of female character design.
