Does it really matter that some guy who does silly noises for a video game and has opinions you find yourself opposed to gets his VO removed from the game?
Many people love Disney movies and Walt is no stranger to racism claims, but i don't fault people for liking his films and people arent boycotting Marvel movies because of his views. Being able to separate your personal politics from appreciating someones work on its own merit is important.

I find JonTron obnoxious, but the internet mob calling for his head is gross and excessive (also like Jon), even if the things he said were foolish.

"Also like Jon"

Lmao

Who's alt are you

 

[KaoteK]

Fucking spot on Playtonic.

As a fan of Rare since they were called Ultimate, this makes me happy.

No weasel words, just straight to the point.

Jontron can fuck right off.

People on twitter are saying Jon is responsible for Yooka-Laylee's success

Ah yes, the reason I kickstarted Yooka Laylee was because I knew in my heart JonTron would be in the game as a voice.

Isn't this question a two-way street?

Also, bringing up Disney is like telling black people that they shouldn't support the Democratic Party because they were pro-slavery in the 19th century.

Hope he learned his lesson.
Classy reply

minorities and women's basic existence is not "politics", it's a basic fact.

I didn't even know he was in it until today

lol at people thinking this is a huge deal and people will cancel their orders because of it

And Neogaf is responsible that he got fired. Simple math dictates that Neogaf is thus the most powerful force on the internet. And since I am obviously the king of Neogaf, I am the most powerful person on the internet. That's how the world works.

If I said "I think the united states are like 500.000 square miles big" that would be "foolish"
Saying "Immigrants dilute our gene pool and Mexicans are literally stealing our land, also racism doesn't exist and black people have a crime gene" is something else.

 

[Isaac Otherworld]

This is the best response he's made throughout this whole ordeal.

 

[Neuromancer]

Good, this makes me feel better about my upcoming purchase.

I've actually decided to get it day one because of this. Gotta support shit like this.

Things I knew about Yooka-Laylee before this bit of news because of tons and tons of coverage:

Kickstarter
Ex-Rare devs
studio is Playtonic
spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie
releasing in the next few weeks

Things I learned just today with the news of his removal:

he was in it at one point

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Why do I feel like we're heading for another GamerGate soon? =/

Fucking unreal that people of renown like this are such contemptible arseholes.

GamerGate never ended. The response to this situation from gamers should say that.

He named himself after Taco Bell because, like someone who has just eaten there, he's full of shit. The juicy kind. The kind that explodes out of your ass.

Can you make Legend of Dragoon 2 happen for me, please?

I'll send you some cookies or gummies or something.

 

[Mael]

You'll never guess what's going on in the comments of that post!

@LadJoshie @JonTronShow Hitler's art inspired many many artists to make art, did they put "Inspired by Adolf Hitler" on their pieces? No.

no kidding.

That's the thing, GG never ended, is still showing it's ugly head in occasions like these.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Alright, guys, let's not fall over ourselves to congratulate a racist on not throwing his toys out of the pram when he got sacked. It's hardly a Christmas miracle.

 

[Golden_Pigeon]

Well done.

 

[Nanashrew]

Yo, this nutjob trying to create a timeline of events.

He's a game journalist?

LewieP works at Savy Gamer, a site that hunts for good gaming deals in the UK.

The nutjob is a freelancer writer who's worked at The Escapist, a site that has become home to GamerGate. He's trying hard to pin this on LewieP though he was not the only person to contact Playtonic.

Obviously it does. Its not crazy that a company would want to disassociate themselves and their product from a a person who made the comments Jon made and is being looked upon as a racist.

Fools don't even know how scorching hot the Rare fanbase burns. The game was guaranteed to get funded.

 

[plufim]

Jon says non-whites are inferior.

Playtonic is diverse, ie employs non-whites.

How can anyone not get that maybe Playtonic values their employees over a cameo from a youtuber and his crybaby followers?

 

[PSqueak]

The funny thing is that on 4chan you'd be buried alive in memes and reaction images (or simply ignored) if you just so much as say "I think we should invest more into climate change research"

i mean, what board would even be the correct one to post something like that anyways?

Wouldn't a glass burrito be more durable than a normal burrito?

"coordinated effort" = A couple of posters try to reach to Playtonic for a comment....

 

[Bacon]

Alright guys they removed him from the game and he's already burned a lot of bridges. Let's not ruin his life.

Ain't you the guy that said Colin Moriarty's life was ruined just because of a harmless joke? FOH with your bullshit.

This is basically the equivalent of 'Democrats were the party of slavery in the nineteenth century!'

Kind of ignores a lot has happened since then.

I wasn't calling Lewie into question, more what the hell that guy was on about. Thanks for the info though.

Politics.....I know you did not just...and I just talked about this....

Heh.

Look here, Glassburrito. Don't you ever say that the struggle of minorities and women is nothing but "politics" ever again. The lives of people is not fucking politics!! And I am sick of people like you and others reduce the stuggles and trials of those suffering injustice, prejudice and hate as nothing but "politics".And if I ever catch you saying that shit like this is "politics" again, so help me I will give such a verbal lashing that when I'm through with you, you will feel so small. So damn small.

 

[Man Called Aerodynamics]

Good on the devs. I wouldn't want someone like that associated with my game either.

Did you not see that black guy in star wars? He didn't even die, like wth.
You know how scientists call that? white genocide.

Edit: Not that you should trust scientists. They all lie except here

 

[Makonero]

no kidding.

Hitler's art was boring and pedestrian, he was a shitty artist that inspired no one

now his politics on the other hand definitely inspired a lot of art, but I'm sure every artist would tell you they'd rather not have had the "inspiration" in the first place

In what world is most things anti-white?... Like, a majority of shows are mostly white people, a majority of films star white people, games are mostly white men.

First a terrorist organization, and now a cult.

I'm pretty sure at some point they're going to accuse Black Lives Matter activists of killing Jesus and being responsible for both 9/11 and the Titanic sinking.

Well, you used to be able to pretend that other races didn't exist, and now white people are being oppressed by the presences of everyone else.

It's a terror cult. They got the name because they worship Bane, the Black Lord, the god of fear.

I was at Staples the other day and they sold Wite Out. Unbelievable. Such an anti-white product being shoved down our throats!
