Would it be illegal for Disney to encourage or indirectly fund a hit piece on PewDiePie? It's very likely the OP here is right: YouTubers are imploding. Disney probably is the first to see that(they acquired Maker Studios a year or so ago) and needed to offload a massive failing asset. The anti-semitism problem is a very specific angle to take particularly related to Disney and PewDiePie. Someone clearly combed his trove of videos and found every single Nazi reference; seem like a stretch to begin with. Idk theories.

Is it really that surprising that Disney thought that using "death to all Jews" in a joke, regardless of context, was inappropriate?

  "regardless of context" does not even exist. Your comment featured it and I don't think it's an inappropriate comment you made here.

    Replying to myself, since I can not edit it anymore. I know it sounds all funny and stuff, but if someone is curious about how context, in this case at least the statements exposed curator pewdiepie, matters, Foucaults 1969 essay "What Is an Author?" is a great starting point to dig into: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Is_an_Author%3F https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Is_an_Author%3F
