If only he had actually followed through on his promise to delete his account…
Now, we’re normally pretty sick of the So-And-SoIsOverParty hashtags, but we’ll make an exception for PewDiePie.
On Thursday, the YouTuber — whose real name is Felix Kjellberg — uploaded a new video titled I Won An Award. The 27-year-old began the ten-minute clip lamenting over the fact that he’s been deemed “ugly” by Twitter trolls.

Then, he comes across a video in which he’s been named one of the 100 Most Handsome Faces Of 2016 by YT user TC Candler, coming in at number 18.
In his celebration, the Swedish internet celebrity yelled out the n-word, shouting:
“Eighteen! Eighteen! Eighteen, [n-word].”
In editing, the online personality clipped the end of the offensive exclamation, but it’s very clear that he did, in fact, use the inappropriate word.
You can see for yourself at 1:55 in the video (below):
Meanwhile, the Twitterverse is — rightfully — pretty pissed about the whole thing, and started throwing a #PewDiePieIsOverParty while dragging him for his upsetting word-choice:
Let’s get one thing clear: If you are not black, YOU ├░┼╕ΓÇÿ┬Å├░┼╕┬Å┬╛ DON’T ├░┼╕ΓÇÿ┬Å├░┼╕┬Å┬╛ GET ├░┼╕ΓÇÿ┬Å├░┼╕┬Å┬╛ TO ├░┼╕ΓÇÿ┬Å├░┼╕┬Å┬╛ SAY ├░┼╕ΓÇÿ┬Å├░┼╕┬Å┬╛ THE ├░┼╕ΓÇÿ┬Å├░┼╕┬Å┬╛ N-WORD ├░┼╕ΓÇÿ┬Å├░┼╕┬Å┬╛. Do not @ me #PewdiepieIsOverParty

Never say the N word! Your influence is too big and that’s not your culture. You’re fueling those racists comments ├░┼╕ΓÇöΓÇÿ #PewdiepieIsOverParty
