I personally wouldn't boycott, but I can see why people would want to.

The developer hasn't said a peep on the issue since it blew up in April. Some see that as a tacit acceptance of jontron's views.

I think if they put out a statement saying they don't condone his politics, and gave a reason why the lines should remain in, than this wouldn't be as big an issue.

It's a general unspoken rule that a game and its development staff don't reflect the views of their individuals until proven otherwise. No statement has to be made on it. That doesn't mean it can't be made, it's just not required.

I mean, JonTron is a piece of shit. So is Kirbopher, who is also in this game. Neither influenced my decision to not buy the game (it's mostly lack of interest as opposed to objecting anything in particular)

(Kirbopher's a piece of shit for different reasons though.)
