>>35990682pewdiepie is very self aware and is no doubt "based" on some level but he rarely shows it. Him saying nigger by accident is no doubt a preview of it. Also in one of his older videos, he mentions saudi arabia and a sweden flag shows up instead for his little joke, he definitely hates how his home country has turned out so being a baka gaijin in Japan, he is making sure to respect the country as much as possible, especially when it took him forever to finally gain proper residence
