Pewdiepie and Forsen

This page contains interactions between Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg and Hans Eli Sebastian Fors. But first let's take a look at similarities between them:

• Both are from Sweden.
• Both left their home country.
• Both are famous YouTubers (Forsen calling himself like that for tax purposes).
• Both are racist.
• Both said the N-word at some point while livestreaming.
• Both have an autistic fanbase.
• Both are confirmed weebs (Pewds even lives in Japan).
• Both make fun of Indians and other races they deem inferior.
• Use of a characteristic salute using their fists (Bro-fist / forsenFist)

The Bridge Incident

During a heated gamer moment in the evening hours of Sunday, September 10, 2017 PewDiePie fails to control his inner swede, creating one of the most memorable moments in the community. Consequences will never be the same.

What a fucking [REDACTED].

- PewDiePie 2017

With time, multiple jokes and memes would reference this particular incident:

Adpocalypse

Being one of the biggest content creators on YouTube at the time, this slip-up further deepened the already existing controversy with news outlets surrounding his channel and contributed to a major overhaul of YouTube's monetization policies and community guidelines due to sponsors boycotts (Modern journalism i guess). Notice how some of this articles date before the incident.

The Fate of ForsenTV

Eventually, in middle of 2022 ForsenTV would one of the many channels hit by the platform changes, as Forsen himself explained:

"Well, i mean i figure this will happen because i got so many warnings and stuff [...]"

Notable Interactions

First Encounter

The first recorded interaction between PewDiePie and Forsen occurred in August 10th 2017 during their simultaneous livestreams randomly encountering each other while playing PUBG.

"Is this guy fucking superman?"

- Pewdiepie, referring to forsen as Superman or the Übermensch*.

* (An idealized concept of a racially superior, physically strong, and dominant "Aryan" person).

After unknowingly dying to Pewds, chat points it out to him and shows him a clip of what happened. Note how he appears to be in denial as he got bested by his fellow countryman.

PUBG Tournament Team-up

In the early hours of November 08, 2017 Forsen tweeted the following:

Later that day, during the stream Forsen interrupts his playthrough of Getting Over It, to officially announce his collaboration with PewDiePie (The Aryan leader), BradWOTO (Pewd's editor) and Boogie (Known PUBG caster). Notice how chat reacts to this announcement as it was only a couple of weeks after PewDiePie crossed the bridge.

Here PewDiePie makes one of his classic Swedish comments.

"[...] Yeah, there is Ugandans everywhere."

- PewDiePie, talking about the increasing influx of immigrants in Sweden.

Forsen shows that he is tournament ready, flexing his impressive aim and proper use of explosives.

The Axis alliance faced wave after wave of honorable Ugandan commandos, getting some needed practice for the tournament to come.

Sadly our beloved Team Meme failed to qualify for the Saturday finals, since only the top 4 teams of each group move on:

Important note: The results of the qualifiers are not 100% verified from true Bajistan patriots. Could contain some errors about the teams.

"Forsen, another racist streamer [...]"

In January 2018 the meme of "Ugandan Knuckles" becomes mainstream internet culture, referencing very familiar lines from Ugandan action packed movies. PewDiePie himself would talk about the humble origins of this meme during his video "DO YOU KNO DA WEI", part of his meme review series.

First of all he is implying that he is racist himself. Second of all, you can edit that out. You are a YouTuber! [...]

-Forsen, he either doesn't understand ironic, self-aware jokes, or the guy writing this is a retard who doesn't understand Forsen's ironic self-aware jokes either.

The reason for naming the emote "forsenRedSonic" is an inside joke to annoy normies that took the VRChat meme seriously or were unaware of the actual origin.

Do you kno da wei, da wei of da deval? Spit on them brothas!

- Some normie, probably.
