Yeah. Guy does a few Nazi things and anti-Semitic things a few years ago and he has to live with that reputation forever? . And come on, why are you living in the past? Just because Kanye straight off said some Nazi shit every few months? Dude, separate the art from the artist!
Oh, and Kevin Spacey did a bit of rape back then. But it was so long ago!
And while we're here, Bill Cosby drugged those girls in the 70s. Like my dude, who wasn't a little edgy back then?
You're going to equate a word with being a Nazi and rape? Using a racial slur is literally a small subset of being a Nazi.
If you think calling people Jews was the big issue with the Nazis, well...
So I decided to look up the article, and see what the defense was.
Here's the article: https://www.mediaite.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Screen-Shot-2019-09-19-at-16.04.33.jpg
And indeed, it does seem to be a Vetements piece he's wearing. I could not however find the exact outfit, but those are the Georgian designer's signature, in Georgian letters, which can be compared here:

In looking through some videos from that era, he is wearing multiple articles of clothing from Vetements which tracks. So it's not a one off piece of clothing he was wearing from that company.
As for the cross, it is a design used in Georgia, including on their traditional flags:
And it is known as a Bolnisi Cross
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolnisi_cross
And can even be found in ancient Georgian architecture, specifically with a circle around it:
It is similar to the German iron cross, except the iron cross always has white or iron bolding, which the Bolnisi Cross does not
(You can compare them in these search results: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=fpas&q=german+iron+cross&ia=images&iax=images)
PewDiePie's PR machine got you so good you're defending a multimillionaire for his BS.
Nah, I just actually look up claims rather than taking them at face value, and live in Europe.
