Spouting out racial slurs or promoting Neo Nazis isn’t “edgy humor”. It’s not even humor. He doesn’t do those things to be funny or use “shock value” for attention. He does those things because he thinks it’s okay.
Let me put it this way- As a white person, I do not ever say the n-word. I do not “accidentally” let it slip when I’m mad. Because I know better than that, and do not think that a slur is a reasonable response to being upset. Someone who does say words like that as a knee-jerk reaction, is someone who would say it normally if they can get away with it. They’re someone who does associate anger with slurs and the people those slurs are directed at. And, again, he didn’t do that out of humor. He didn’t do it to generate shock value. The only reason he did it is because it was a genuine emotional reaction. It wasn’t planned, he didn’t put any of the thought into it that is necessary for even the most basic jokes or attention grabs. It was a quick, angry response to being killed in a video game, in the same way that I might say “fuck” when I stub my toe.
But then, there’s the things that he did clearly plan. And those are even worse. Because he sat down at some point and had to think to himself “Is it a good idea to do or say this?” And he decided that, yes, it was. You can’t say that at no point did he wonder if openly promoting a man who espouses anti-Semitic conspiracy theories or paying unknowing Indian men to say Nazi slogans weren’t things he should do. Unless he either completely lacks any kind of empathy or conscience or self awareness, the thought had to have crossed his mind. But then he still decided to do it anyways.
Also, putting aside the fact that making up a little ghost story is in no way comparable to openly supporting Nazis and being openly racist, that’s not what “shock value” is. The “David” thing was just a little, harmless spooky story. Something of the sort literally everyone has made up at some point because it’s fun. Shock value is doing something that intentionally goes against what people expect, something taboo. Something shocking. Shock value is Ozzy biting the head off a bat. You’re reaching so hard here that you’ve lost your balance.
