One of YouTube’s largest channels, “Pewdiepie” responded on March 15 to his name being dropped during a live stream apparently recorded by the gunman in New Zealand’s worst-ever mass shooting event, which left 49 people dead.

Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg—the Swedish YouTuber behind “Pewdiepie”—said he felt appalled after reports detailed how a gunman allegedly said “subscribe to PewDiePie” during a live stream that showed the gunman driving to a mosque, entering it, and shooting randomly at people inside.
