Super bummed out that JonTron turned out to be such a selfish, compassionless individual. I really liked his videos at one point.

Maybe he'll develop some empathy when he finds out that his complexion won't compensate for his last name if his views are ever taken to their natural conclusion.

 

[Aselith]

He's Iranian AND a white supremacist? What

 

[GoodCoffeeJoey]

I don't think its funny personally, these guys are making a whole new intolerable generation who are intolerant of other people with their soapbox

"radicalizing extremism" is a nonsense phrase. It's makes no sense and the words are redundant.

 

[blame space]

man I'm starting to think these YouTube gaming personalities shouldn't be respected 🤔

 

[Cormano]

Wtf happened to him... i used to like some of his old content... i hope he loses some followers because of this, but again im sure a lot of teenagers that dont care about politics follow him.

 

[AntraxSuicide]

He can fuck off and never come back.

 

[Apdiddy]

I used to like JonTron because I thought he has a genuine singing talent.

But hearing his opinions and it turns out he is a white supremacist/white nationalist...no thanks.

He should go back to singing and doing funny videos.

 

[lvl99 Pixel]

those parts of the Sonic06 playthrough where jon just randomly starts using racial slurs were always a bit off to me

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

It's a small portion of them. Besides JonTron and TheBitBlock, who else is there?

 

[ZeoVGM]

Is this real?

 

[Anung]

Is this real?

Yep. There is a shit load of bleeped material in early GG.

 

[Blam]

Is this real?

Yes personally I found it hilarious because of the way they bleeped it.

 

[Professor Beef]

Is this real?

Unfortunately, yes.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Fuck you, JonTron.

I used to like JonTron because I thought he has a genuine singing talent.

But hearing his opinions and it turns out he is a white supremacist/white nationalist...no thanks.

He should go back to singing and doing funny videos.

He can make a straight-faced Springtime for Hitler play and star in it too.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Unfortunately, yes.

Oh, that's fucking embarrassing.

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

Sorry, I'll be keeping the GIF usage unless I can be supplied with better alternatives.

Silent Cry for help for good gifs

Lol, fucking L O L.

His gifs aren't even good.

 

[one_kill]

wtf Jon, I thought you were cool

Unsubscribed

 

[The Real Abed]

man I'm starting to think these YouTube gaming personalities shouldn't be respected 🤔

Oh, you can say that about anyone in any line of work. The evening news anchor, your favorite celebrities, your coworkers. Any of them can turn out to be a rotten egg.

 

[malboroking]

Unfortunately, yes.

What a piece of shit.

 

[Marmaladefire]

Unfortunately, yes.

There were people who saw this and still gave him any benefit of doubt?

 

[G-Fex]

What a scumbag.

Makes me wonder how many gaming 'personalities' are actually racist bigot scum.

 

[kyan_hexagon]

I don't understand why someone from his background would be against immigration. If things had been that way 30 years ago then he wouldn't exist. But I suppose Fuck You Got Mine is his line of thought?

That's the republican motto.

 

[Pie and Beans]

There were people who saw this and still gave him any benefit of doubt?

Things got even more curious when he split from GameGrumps and quite a lot of people pointed the blame at Arin's girlfriend Suzy. Leaks however suggested it was because Jon was just terrible to her but people wouldn't hear that about their beloved JonTron. "An angel because he's socially awkward and likes the same videogames as us!"

 

[Deleted member 102362]

I've only watched a few of his videos, but I enjoyed his content, so this is really depressing to read about. Glad I know about it now, though. I had no idea about any of this shit that went on with him in the past.

 

[MrCunningham]

I was secretly hoping that Jon Tron would get cast in a remake of the movie Mouse Hunt. He always reminded me of Nathan Lane. I really don't have anything else constructive to say beyond that.

 

[purpletentacle]

That Dunkey video is really uncomfortable now.

What video???

Don't you take Dunkey from me too! I'll have no one left to watch on YouTube.

 

[airmangataosenai]

Crushingly disappointed but this should be expected after him getting cozy and hanging out with alt right guys like Sargon.

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

What a scumbag.

Makes me wonder how many gaming 'personalities' are actually racist bigot scum.

TheBitBlock's a big one

 

[Gentleman Jack]

There were people who saw this and still gave him any benefit of doubt?

He passes for white and is talented. Folks getting the benefit of the doubt in that situation isn't really a shocker.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

David Duke and others like him who have this obsession with "racial purity" creep the fuck out of me

 

[moffattron9000]

Says the Iranian dude.

 

[eggandI]

Interesting how so many of these new age gaming personalities are complete garbage human beings :thinking:

 

[sooperkool]

All of these neckbeard heroes getting outed is fine with me.

 

[Mask]

Yeah, unsubscribed from him a while back and it's just been more and more clear that he's gone off the deep end.

Shame, liked his solo videos, but ain't supporting this kinda crazy.

 

[lvl99 Pixel]

There were people who saw this and still gave him any benefit of doubt?

Not long before (or after?) this part there are 2 black NPCs walking around and Jon says "Look at these Blacks"

Being offensive was like, part of his shtick or something, but its taken a whole new light recently

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

Oh, one of the people in that thread is Ash. Maybe we won't even have to suffer him that much anymore.

I think they may have already cut ties with Josh? I haven't seen him in one of their videos in months

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Interesting how so many of these new age gaming personalities are complete garbage human beings :thinking:

It's also interesting how gaming has such problems like gamergate and other hate groups. I wonder if there could be any connection :thinking:


But seriously, why do people give this clown attention? I can maybe understand when he was part of gamegrumps but that was a while ago. He's a loser who literally goes out of his way to lash out so he can troll can poke fun at people. Why would you take his bait or give a shit what he thinks about literally anything?

 

[Risible]

If you're on David Duke's side of an argument you fucked up hard somewhere in your life.

This can't be quoted hard enough.

 

[G-Fex]

TheBitBlock's a big one

I don't know who TheBitBlock is but that's awful

 

[Weiss]

So how long until it turns out ProJared and Caddicarus are similarly total scumbags?

 

[gdt]

Unfortunately, yes.

Lmao how was anyone ok with this?

How did he have any fans in this site after this?

 

[Lucky Seven]

Ok Jon... just be quiet. Still love him, but somebody should pull him back for a moment if not tell him what's wrong.

 

[Hierophant]

What video???

Don't you take Dunkey from me too! I'll have no one left to watch on YouTube.

i hope he is okay, one of his good friends is literally a gay black guy so he'd more likely have a more informed perspective

also, remember that time s̶k̶y̶ ̶t̶a̶l̶k̶e̶d̶ ̶a̶b̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶h̶o̶w̶ ̶h̶e̶ ̶f̶e̶l̶t̶ ̶a̶b̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶i̶d̶u̶b̶b̶z̶ ̶u̶s̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶n̶ ̶w̶o̶r̶d̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶a̶ ̶h̶o̶r̶d̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶w̶h̶i̶t̶e̶ ̶k̶i̶d̶s̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶t̶w̶i̶t̶t̶e̶r̶ ̶t̶o̶l̶d̶ ̶h̶i̶m̶ ̶h̶o̶w̶ ̶h̶e̶ ̶s̶h̶o̶u̶l̶d̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶f̶e̶n̶d̶e̶d̶ dunkey beat sky in smash?

The list of NeoGAF approved youtubers keeps shrinking.

Are DarksydePhil and Low Tier God all we have left....?

 

[BlastProcessing]

Honestly I swear you guys give these people hits and clicks and a larger profile with this. This was a no-name I had never read about before this. But now I know there is some guy named 'JonTron. He is a random YouTuber who is saying dumb shit on twitter. Fuck him and move on. They use the outrage of their inflammatory statements to become more famous. For them, any publicity is good publicity...

No. This motherfuck has over a million followers on Twitter. He already has a huge audience and this thread isn;t going to really change that. Scum like this grows in the shadows and dies in the light. We need to be talking about this shit as often as possible. Ignoring hate and assuming that it will all work itself out is not the play here. Culture is shifting right now. The Alt Right is a real and organized thing that is attempting to subvert the Enlightenment and roll back the last 300 years of social thought.

 

[moffattron9000]

So how long until it turns out ProJared and Caddicarus are similarly total scumbags?

Well I'm fairly sure that ProJared is a cool dude. Meanwhile, I just assume that all British people on the internet are varying degrees of psychopaths at this point.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Lmao how was anyone ok with this?

How did he have any fans in this site after this?

Look at the like/dislike ratio. It's sad

 

[Big One]

None of this is a surprise to me in a slightest. The video game fandom and the alt-right movement have the absolute biggest overlap I've seen in a long time.

 

[Theslammer]

Ignoring this behaviour is what has got us this far.

I don't totally disagree, but I also wouldn't know who this guy is if it weren't for this thread. JonTron/Game Grumps were both unknowns to me.

 

[Zocano]

Lmao how was anyone ok with this?

How did he have any fans in this site after this?

Because the editing and Arin's uncomfortableness made it funny?
