I'm pretty sure it was because Jon moved, wasn't it?
Granted I'm sure Arin probably wouldn't do a show with him now, but I remember in late 2015 Arin appeared in a Jontron episode and they did a "reunion" gag with it. They're probably still on good terms.

"We've heard about this single mother thing for decades now and frankly it's getting little tiring and that's probably why you're seeing this rise of "supposed" neo nazis."

This is true thr quality is surprisingly good. Too bad I can't understand it perfectly
Single mother thing? Please don't tell me he used a Reagan era welfare queen talking point.

His argument at that juncture literally was "blacks are always predisposed to crime, whether in inner-city US or Africa!"
Destiny had already argued with him for 2 hours so I can't blame him but I wish he had pointed out what's disgusting about that statement instead of asking him to name countries in Africa
Considering how quick they were to respond to the whole PDP thing - I wouldn't be surprised if they take some kind of action against Jon. Even if he wasn't using his channel to push this stuff.

Yea, I guess I think of him as a gaming channel since I found him through his gaming videos and he has a 90 minute Fallout 3 video.
Same.

Probably surprised aswell. I really hope James and Mike aren't closet-white supremacists, I'm a big fan of James!

Yep. He did it repeatedly when Destiny would ask him to elaborate on some heinous shit he'd say.
i tend to believe racism and stupidity are generally linked

These things often go hand in hand.

The same Reagan who was for apartheid, crippled the California public school system and who's reaction to the crack epidemic, which he completely ignored until it was out of control like the aids epidemic, was to give everyone stiff prison sentences instead of counseling and rehabilitation. Anyone who looks to him as a hero gets a side-eye from me.
Not exactly. He was attempting (keyword there) to suggest that black men's crime stats being influenced by their enviroments (which included things like too many single mothers) was an excuse that could no longer be justified. As in, there has to be some other reason for their behavior, though he would not actually state what that was.
My god this reminds me of this girl I used to work with. White, blonde, always wore pink, absolutely loves Starbucks, etc. Everytime she walked in with Starbucks she would say "Hash Tag basic bitch" (out loud)...EVERY TIME.
I don't know. They were a bit Gamergatery.
To be far immigrants did do a number on this country just ask the native americans.

Well in that Twitch debate he did at one point admit that by saying, "Lol, I'm dumb" after not knowing the difference between a metaphor, analogy & an allegory.
Racists are dumb & stuff.
His nervous laughter when he didn't have an answer and quick deflection to another point was infuriating. Props to Destiny for keeping it together.
what did arin say?
On the stream one of the donations read something like "3 years ago some woman told Jon to check his privelige and got triggered so hard he went full nazi" that I think is actually probably close enough to the truth for these types of guys.
They get in hot water for something they did and they just end up totally embracing the opposite of the spectrum in order to maintain that they were right.
People like to comfort themselves with this thought but its bullshit. There are a lot of smart and charismatic racists.
Nothing, just when they parted ways I always thought it was some Arin stuff since they stopped mentioning Jon altogether. But my eyes are open now.
Also for destiny calling him out when he jumped continents when he lost another argument.
that's why I said "generally" and not "all".
Guys, the JonTron reddit is absolutely killing it. Like, every thread is gold.

Another big name in the gaming community shows himself to a bigot. Not surprised after everything I've seen with the Gamer Gate and the like. It's really troubling as a person of color; knowing that so many preeminent figures within a hobby/industry I adore essentially hate people that share my characteristics. On the other hand I do love the openess. Helps me to put the frauds in the boxes they deserve to be in. I'll add him to this list. Who's next??
I know it's just an expression but to me the point of life is fighting ignorance so it doesn't get passed on to the next generation. Life to me is learn as much as you possibly can and better yourself, then pass that knowledge off to our future and hope they hold the same values when they become free thinkers. Where are all the critical thinkers?
Yeah, that sub has been hilarious all day.
It's the fact he truly thinks he's rational (the last rational person) and believes in evidence yet is so frickin' uninformed and dumb that it blows my mind.
Like holy shit does this guy not see the idiocy and hypocrisy in himself?
His weird rants are like the stuff you'd hear weirdo's shout on street corners except now it's legitimised somewhat.
Lol, what do you have to say to be considered overt?
Yo these titles are hilarious
Yup, always a sign of insecurity of your own talking points when they have to resort to that. He really had no retorts or any fact based ones when he had to lean on hyperbole or just nonsensical statements (which was 99% of the shit he was regurgitating the whole time). I enjoyed Destiny running circles around him, completely made a fool of him.
Yeah, I mean the dude mentioned fucking brown people diluting the gene pools. There's not much further you can go.
To be fair, Steve Jobs was Syrian.
Lol god damn.
