00:00 What's this? Popular YouTuber PewDiePie got kicked off the internet for joining ISIS?
00:04 No, not even a little bit.
00:06 So you may have seen some headlines and tweets lately that said that PewDiePie lost his verification and that now he's a terrorist.
00:12 If you're worried, don't be, because Felix made a six and a half minute video explaining the situation,
00:18 which is one of his favorite types of videos to make.
00:21 "ISIS. That doesn't make any sense."
00:24 "Well, let me explain, dammit."
00:26 He talks about how arbitrary that little checkmark is and how, in his mind, many big YouTubers are abusing it.
00:32 "That tick doesn't mean that I'm impotent."
00:34 "Yes, it f***ing does."
00:36 Yeah, you think it's stupid 'cause you have it, ya ass.
00:40 So as a joke, Felix unverified his own Twitter account.
00:44 Soon after, a Twitter account called Sky News tweeted that PewDiePie lost his verification, quote,
00:51 "due to suspected relations with ISIS."
00:53 And the internet naturally ran with it without really looking into it because people just love to do that.
01:00 The link that they tweeted didn't even go to a real article, but that didn't stop people.
01:06 "You click on the news story, oh, it just goes to... it just goes to a random article."
01:11 So to make fun of the situation, Felix tweeted that he and his friend JackSepticEye had joined ISIS, which is hysterical.
01:19 So as a result, his account was temporarily suspended, but it was returned to normal soon thereafter.
01:24 So yes, just to clarify, PewDiePie has not even remotely come close to actually joining ISIS.
01:31 Which is a sentence I never thought I would have to say out loud, but here we are.
01:37 Also, at the end of his little rant video, Felix invites his fans to put a globe emoji next to their name instead of a checkmark.
01:43 Because... world peace?
