I'm sure you all heard about the PewDiePie "antisemite" scandal that the media once again pulled out of their ass in a lousy attempt at further restricting the internet. Fortunately, they did such a ridiculously sloppy job that the did our job for us and turned a very large number of people against them. What we now have is +-53.000.000 pissed off people (assuming many subscribers are inactive but many supportive people didn't subscribe to him) that witnessed first hand how trustworthy the media is: not at all.
So about 4 hours ago PewDiePie tweeted a video that explains the greater agenda behind the attacks on him, which will obviously be watched by a shitton of people. The interesting thing is that the video has #pewdiegate in the title, which is phonetically similar to #pizzagate. Here's how we can use this to our advantage: we go on twitter and tweet about the media being full of shit (preferably on a rational basis) and attach the hashtags #pewdiegate and #pizzagate. We keep it down with the horrible, crazy sounding stuff to avoid scaring newbies away. I'm pretty sure many of his supporters are critical and curious enough to learn the whole story behind the media's bias.
As soon as the amount of his followers pressuring him to talk about pizzagate hits critical mass, he will have to tell the truth to roundabout 53 million loyal, young, easily influencable followers, which will invevitably lead to a chain reaction.
/pol/ thread I discovered this and had the idea: http://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/113082658
His tweet about the video: https://twitter.com/pewdiepie/status/832661703825321985
The video itself: https://youtu.be/JLrS3UopPF8YouTubeYouTube
EDIT: This was up for two seconds on the pizzagate main sub before getting deleted (reason rule 4). I kind of get that but I think this deserves more traffic than possible on the meta subs, due to the very big opportunity we have here. If there's any mod here that agrees with me, feel free to move this.
EDIT 2: This is the re-upload to the main sub, as the mod @wecanhelp was so nice and let me post it here again after I asked him. I don't know how long this will stay here so be quick to give me your opinions and ideas.

I would think it being a fruitless endeavor, tbh.
A few searches on the demographic make-up of his followers puts them at between 13-16 years old. Hardly a "force" when it comes to enacting any change. I would surmise that most of those would be in a privileged group. Sure, in a few years they might really care about the world outside of school, their friendships and "teenage desires", but they are definitely not the demographic we would think has the resources to enact or demand justice.

Good point, although I wouldn't underestimate the influence teenagers have on their peers. I'm pretty sure I could've easily made my parents and friends look into this kind of stuff when I was that age. But that is purely anecdotal of course.

It has already been suggested that the generation that comprises the bulk of his followers are more conservative than the millennials that preceded them, who appear quite brain-dead in their SJW-following, These kids have obviously been "red-pilled", hardly watch TV, thus appear immune to the corporate mainstream media, The sheer number of them is definitely a good sign, and we'd hope Pewdiepie uses his influence to mold them into a giant conservative bloc when they do reach voting age. We can only hope that Pewdiepie is aware of the influential power he has, and uses it for good - sounds cliche, no doubt, but he's the "accidental hero" and from watching his latest "response" video, does seem like he's awake to the MSM's manipulation.
