Man who shot at Muslims at New Zealand mosque told people to subscribe to Pewdiepie in livestream

India Today  

People at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, were targeted by multiple gunmen in an apparent hate crime on Friday.

In the last one year we have seen hackers defacing websites with "subscribe to Pewdiepie" message and many users spamming comment sections, web forums and online communities, exhorting people to keep Pewdiepie in lead. Pewdiepie said that he was "sickened" to see his name come up in New Zealand.
