I don't believe this is entirely true. It's his style that attracts people to watch his videos. If somebody doesn't like someone's videos, they aren't gonna actively watch them. Like, young children aren't gonna watch and enjoy Schindler's List (in most cases) same as most older matured people aren't going to watch and enjoy some guy screaming at mindless jumpscares and yelling 'BARRELS!!' over and over.

I'm not blaming PDP for playing the game how he wants, but he isn't free from the blame of attracting such a fanbase.

It's impossible to blame someone for the kind of fan-base they have. Felix is playing games the way he enjoys to play them and share it with other people, and his way of playing happens to attract a certain demographic. He is not playing like he does just to attract a fan-base so that he can be mean to others, but thats what it sounds like when you say that he is to blame for his fan-base.
I mean, c'mon what's he gonna do? Call childrens parents and tell them that their children enjoy his videos and annoy other people? Make an educational video about how to behave on the internet? Just look at his signature, what more can he do? It clearly states that you should upload the custom stories on his website. Stop saying that he should be blamed, that's just childish and immature.
And on the other hand, it's not just children who enjoy his videos, many people in diferent age-groups do, it's just that some people scream louder than others.
