You're not misremembering.

He had a team scrub that off the internet and now a bunch of people have been gaslit.

I'm not that familiar, tbh.

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

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

Is there an avenue to getting off the hook? Apologizing and not doing it again? Or does he lose everything for the rest of his life?

For context, I barely know who pewdiepie is. I just have to imagine that when public figures fuck up, maybe there's a spectrum of available consequences other than "they must lose their job and never been spoken of again."
