I'd be interested in knowing. I've only seen a few of this videos, but I'm surprised.
I apologise if I caused upset/offence, I was trying to make a joke because the Swedish chef says "bork bork" and stuff.

I'm confused. How do you know thats what he said?
I'm sure there is a significant amount of people who don't share white supremacist views, but just don't care about what Jontron said or why it's a big deal. From their point of view, Playtonic are being unfair to him and dropping him for their own petty reasons. I have had a few people who have said "I don't think he said anything racist" or "well he's not putting it in his videos so it shouldn't matter". So it's not like it's only white supremacists giving Playtonic shit.

Looking at the Facebook comments on any Playtonic posts right now is infuriating. I can understand if you decide to keep watching JonTron after all this, but to get so unreasonably mad at Playtonic just makes no sense.
"Adam Sandler's got famous for a reason".
Facebook comments are trash, those people literally don't understand reality, not that they'd listen to any evidence anyway.
Speaking of evidence, I've found three videos so far of Jontron casually dropping the n-word in gamegrumps videos, uncensored.

I ventured into the Steam forums and saw someone saying Islamphobia doesn't exist so I'm probably gonna kill myself idk
Its not scientific if you look up the origin of the theory. I'd offer the info on the name of the guy and the history of the theory but I tend to toss notes and forget info that is insanely faulty.
Complaining and saying u wont buy the game cuz jon is in it is the same as saying you wont buy the game cuz jon isnt in it. In both situations ppl are acting childish expecting playtonic to be upholden to their personal ethical ideologies which is unfair. The rare guys previous games have never been ethical goldmines so no one should expect them to continue that trend. Ppl are financially punishing them for something that they are not obligated to care about. Implying they are ethically obligated is an unfair assumption to make. I dont understand y so many expect ethical altruism from indie devs these days. Its a unrealistic and unreasonable expectation.

Also this dude in the Steam forums is trying to tell me that Yooka Laylee is just a Banjo clone
like why did i even go in there smh @myself
So unrealistic and unreasonable that they did it lol
This is the long and short of it indeed.
I'm actually pleasantly surprised that some people actually did notice the satire and the rest pretty much called you on it. It's in fact a similar ratio to the reactions you got here, and your follow up posts on Steam weren't so blatant as the first one, so for once I think the "whoosh" is uncalled for.
He has two jobs, in one his boss was pro-Trump and in the other pro-Hillary? Doesn't seem that hard to compute...

To be fair, we do require sunlight to synthesize vitamin D. It doesn't use the same pathways as what we typically refer to as photosynthesis though.Photosynthesis?
Is there any limit to the depth of their stupidity?
words are just words,the problems are concepts and beliefs and the ones jontron expressed are unmistakably racistI'm not sure how anyone could think he isn't completely racist, considering he drops the N-word uncensored in an old gamegrumps video..

People on Steam, Kickstarter and other places really think NeoGAF had something to do with this. I think they give the few in this forum who tweeted at them way too much power and are looking for a scapegoat.

Playtonic made the right choice
You're overthinking this. Playtonic made the personal decision to exclude someone who they previously chose to include because they personally weren't comfortable with a known white supremacist being in the game they've been toiling away creating for years.
The mistake many people like you make is that you assume Playtonic was "caving" to demands to apply an ethical ideology that they may not have been comfortable with. No, this was a personal choice they themselves made, the attention given to this issue was very brief and minor prior to the their decision to remove Jon.
But you earlier said
So what are you even talking about?
I could be overthinking it. Just to be clear im disgusted at what john said, but i just cant imagine playtonic caring too much given the content of their previous games. Only way I can imagine them making this move is if they were trying to avoid getting hirt financially. But as u said, i could be overthinking it.
Im not slamming playtonic for removing john. John is a backwards dude. Im questioning those who say they wont buy a game with john in it.i just think its unfair to playtonic considering its just a few grunts.

Being anti-racist is not as bad as being racist.
that dril tweet has been running through my head so much after reading some of the replies in this thread
Obviously all the work of an enemy GAF
