Just a clarification of the nickname PewDiePie:
The main Christchurch-shooter mentions the nickname of

Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg, known online as PewDiePie, is a Swedish YouTuber, comedian and video game player–commentator.

Well with the YT Ads that he is profiting from, Felix and his Millenial Pals found their perfect pond.

The pronunciation of this rather disgraceful nickname is the following: Felix loves to play massively weaponized videogames, which are a psychopathic weapon-porn, called "shooters", where players sneak around, run a lot and shoot everybody, less often their teammates. When describing their type of gaming activity, they say "pew-pew!", just as children mimic the sound of guns shooting during their plays.

Because there is a lot of shooting for score/points in these online games and as a result, every 10 seconds several players die, there is a significant body-count. This is the explanation for the middle part of the nick: lots of shooting, you die. Another embarrassing fact of computer games these days.

We know Hamburger Hill, from the Vietnam war. There was an immense amounts of shooting, so bodies piled up. So piling up bodies made a..:

Pew ==> ( /pjuː/ ) [pyouu-pyouu] because they shoot [at you as well] in online games ==> you Die ==> and as a result the shot dead bodies make a large Pile ==> which pile in videogamer lingo [and in other slangs used by even more reprehensible circles] that's a pie, the pile of the dead bodies make a Pie.

So this is how you pronounce his nickname correctly. Knowing the not so funny, but rather sad background.
