On September 10, 2017, YouTuber Felix "PewDiePie" Kjellberg streamed himself playing the popular game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) on his YouTube channel. During the stream, he used a racial slur (the N-word) while expressing frustration towards another player. This incident occurred at a time when PewDiePie was already under scrutiny for previous controversies, making the situation highly controversial.

Details of the Livestream:

The livestream featured PewDiePie's typical gameplay and commentary style, including his interactions with viewers and his humor. The game session was intense, with PewDiePie becoming increasingly frustrated during the match. The racial slur was uttered in the heat of the moment, leading to immediate backlash once the stream concluded.

Aftermath:

Due to the intense backlash from the media, social platforms, and viewers, the livestream was quickly taken down—either deleted or set to private—by PewDiePie or YouTube. This resulted in the original full livestream becoming inaccessible on PewDiePie's official channel.

Lost Status:

The livestream is currently considered "partially lost." Only segments of the stream, particularly those focusing on the moment when the slur was used, have been reuploaded by various users across different platforms. The full livestream, however, is not publicly available, and efforts to locate or restore the entire content have been unsuccessful.
