imagine still watching this racist

1) White nationalist
2) Anti-vaxxer
3) tbd

---

i dunno. i like his Goop video where he sets up a snake oil stand across the street from a Goop store.

---

Man he used to be my favorite youtuber. WTF

---

I really wish these YouTubers that do non-political videos would keep their stupid politics to themselves.

Hasn't it been an open secret that Jontron is alt right as hell?

---

Some of the comments on that video are pretty funny.

It's not that he's alt-right, it's that he's hyper-credulous so will believe anything you stick in his face... and alt-right just happen to be louder (with Crowder) right now

how else would they trick the percentage of their fans that are gullible idiots into following their system of beliefs instead of coming up with their own ideas?

Lol at that 2011 article

---

Pretty disappointed it wasn't an actual debate between them but that 2011 clip made up for it lol.

---

I still like his videos, which thankfully remain mostly non-political, but dude really needs to just delete his Twitter.

That sounds like alt right with extra steps

Didn't he get shit on a few years back for pushing racist pseudo science?

He famously said in an interview that illegal immigrants are coming here and breaking off enclaves of land and claiming them for Mexico

---

Him leaving GameGrumps ended up being the best thing that ever could have happened for that channel.

I haven't heard that one, but that would be pretty bad.

The very first one of his I heard, which I semi-agree with, is that naturalized immigrants tend to form insular communities... I agreed that it happens, but I disagreed that it's a bad thing - people have the right to form their own sub-communities

Hasn't he been an open piece of a shit for a long time now?

Yep, so this is nothing new for him.

I am pretty sure he is the one who broke up Normal Boots the first time (or the root cause of it)
He was most likely the cause of the conflict for gamegrumps, is the reason why he left not ego raptor

technically it was Disney that made the call... secret behind the scenes stuff

Well yeah, but if he wasnt causing issues, they would have kept him. Even if it was a Disney executive decision, it probably still leads back to Jon being a toxic human.

Disney owns Gamegrumps?

I believe Disney owns Polaris, which was the company Gamegrumps was signed under. Lots of gaming youtubes were under them. Not sure about now. This was around the JonTron was in Gamegrumps.

They were part of a network of YouTube channels managed by a company owned by Disney. I don't think they are anymore.

Yep
People in this was also
Markiplier, Pewdiepie, Total Biscuit, Jesse Cox, PBG, Dodger, Crendor, The Completionist. And many more. I dont think any of them are part of it anymore.

arin is the one who started gamegrumps

typically the creator doesn't tend to leave their creation when they didn't do anything and are still actively invested in it

Fuck jontron

Of course he is

I stopped watching him after he outed himself as a white nationalist, and didn't think he really stopped slurping up the alt-right shit, but still sucks to see he's still dumb enough to say things like that publicly. And then I ended up finding out he's tweeted some dog whistle-y shit about believing in the stolen election lie. Complete fucking dumbass

Also proof that "cancel culture" is bullshit, he'll probably just upload a video in two months pretending like all is normal

Even if he's a dumbass and stands for everything I don't believe in, his videos are still funny -- and until he performs an actual action that is abhorrent I really don't give a shit what he believes in and I'm not going to let it stop me from enjoying his videos.

You can believe in whatever you want so long as you don't spread misinformation or do something to harm/harass another person. I won't agree with you, but I'm not going to make it my problem unless you're actively terrorizing about it.

Yeah, turns out he's a real cook. Didn't expect it. I'm sure I'd hate him if I met him in person -- at least his videos are funny...

Is that not what he is doing?

His fans have been reaming him out for the last week on Twitter. Even his reddit has top-rated comments refuting him.

I bolded the pertinent part of your comment. It indicates that you shouldn't give a shit, so I recommend stopping talking about something you don't give a shit about.

I've always found this kind of handwaving weird. I'll see a lot of "Well I don't agree with him but I'm still gonna watch his videos". The funny one to me is "separate the art from the artist" as if he's making some serious thought-provoking films and not some silly videos. Plus it's also not like a film where it might be one actor who's a huge piece of shit out of hundreds of people who are involved in the production. These are his videos, he's the main person involved with them and for me I couldn't stand to support someone like that all over some dopey vids where he shouts at stuff and it's sometimes funny

I have a mirror to provide you.

I simply find it hilarious when someone says they don't give a shit and then bitch for a couple of a paragraphs. I think the irony is readily observable.

Maybe you need to think deeper on what they're saying they don't give a shit about. The point I'm trying to make is that I don't care about the controversy surrounding him to where I'd debate about it morally. I never said I don't care about making that opinion known.
If I had said "I don't give a shit about adding to this conversation" then you would have made sense. Instead you just got all self-inflicted triggered.

I'm not even mad, just letting you know that's how you came off and that you're misunderstanding me \_(:\ )_/

Yeah, he's making nothing but mistakes over there.
I mean, It's scary to voice any opinion because no matter what it is, you'll always have those who disagree with you -- but holy Hell, this guy's banter is just ridiculous. Then again, bigots never really hear how they sound. They just spout their shit and then claim they were misunderstood when they're given Hell for it. They don't see their views as a problem, so when people react badly, they blame it on them. Which is pretty much what he did in that "apology video" after the talk-show interview. ...Man, has there ever been a time somebody went on a talk-show to clarify their views that DIDN'T go to shit for them?

Dude should just call it quits on Twitter and stick to making memes we enjoy.

If so, I can't tell if that makes it better or worse... Probably worse.
