He's right. GTA fans on his page talking shit? This guy isn't Franklin. Don't expect a real person to act like a video game character. Show the guy some respect and don't talk racist shit to him on his IG
Thats true but did he really expect a world of positively to grow from his work in a game centered on negativity?
He chose to play the stereotype characters for a paycheck.

That doesn't justify white people going on IG and calling him nigger. His choice of job doesn't mean people should be able to do that. I strongly disagree with you that he "seems like a prick". He's clearly had enough and is pleading with people to leave him alone. How does that make him a prick?

So because some people say racist shit it makes it ok to shit on all his fans?
He isn't shitting on all of his fans. He's shitting on racists and people who are so fucking stupid that they can't differentiate between Shawn the human and Franklin the video game character. It's just weak online pussy shit - nobody would do it to him IRL because he would beat the shit out of you and he'd be justified. It's also worth noting that he made the vid at the height of the Floyd/BLM stuff when racism was really at the forefront of peoples minds.

I don't. I just think its unfortunate that he's choosing to paint all white people with the same brush.

I love that he's in his garage, like he had to go out there for his tough guy rant because his totally suburban nuclear family is in the house and his wife won't let him use that kind of language in front of the kids. It's like the bitch skit from Key and Peele.

People watch part of a video out of context and go off saying a dude they likely didn't know of and/or have never seen before is a jerk, mad all the time and that isn't healthy and he has job/family issues, is a drug user and retarded, what? Gtfo, GTA isn't real life, fuck your racist shit. I'm sure you have poc friends, you're all good...

What? People watch part of a single video out of context and go off saying a dude they likely didn't know of and/or have never seen before is mad all the time and that isn't healthy and he has job issues and is a drug user and retarded, what?

The video didn't really do any justice to the situation. Who knows what he was being told and reading. Honestly, I don't blame him for snapping if he's putting up with a bunch of racist BS on his page.

John Boyega didn't snap like this by any means, but I loved him going ham on crazy Star Wars fan all over Twitter, it was fucking beautiful.

People need to learn to be kind to others. Also, separate the actors from the roles they played. They're fictional, Jesus Christ.

I know in my own headspace that you are absolutely spot on and right.

But I swear to Zeus, I'll never have Kathy Bates over for tea and crumpets because of how incredibly terrified I am of her from her role in Misery.

I feel so stupid now that you say it like that.
Hey Charlie Adler got my friend out of a coma using his buster bunny voice. Plus what you said was just an expression.

edit: also this video is hilarious got to about 1:38 when he ate the picture of Franklin and couldn't stop laughing saving the rest for after sleep.

edit edit: cant stop watching for the moment and this might be deliriousness from lack of sleep and from smoking but the reflection in his glasses looks like snake and colonel talking on codec from mgs1

It feels like every gta since Vice City has one voice actor that ends up being bitter for having been in it.

editeditedit: watching this video again, just got to him saying "Christmas white ass world" def a video ill be going back to and randomly quoting.

Who would've thought Franklin would be more sensible than his voice actor. If Trevor is more sensible than his voice actor then we're in trouble.
 
Why he have to state his race so many times in the beginning :messenger_neutral:

How to be trashy and give image of low education combined with stupidity, no matter the race: repeat words like "nigga, mother fucker, fuck, gang nigger, made nigga on the streets of L.A."

Now imagine white person talking like that, he would be canceled faster than I can say mofo. Yet if I understood him, he is angry because non-blacks use word "nigga" while he spams it like a machine gun. Logically he is even more racist as he wants skin color define which words people can use:messenger_fearful:

People should lead by example: dont want to see angry people? be calm. Dont want people to spam a word, how about not spam the word in everywhere just to piss people of by some imaginary permit to use it.

I hope he gets the same treatment as everybody else whom talks like that so things are equal:messenger_savoring:

This culture where race is everything is just so alien and weird to me, it makes people blind to the issues itself, because they just assume that everything is connected to black vs white (and forgetting everyone else). I think that his problem isnt people using word "nigga" in the end, it is that he is just too angry and over sensitive so he got mad to trolls that use it because they know it is "forbidden" word.

This "I can say nigga, you cant! hahaha, or you are racist!" problem would be solved easily, either everybody can use it, or nobody can use it.

Bad personality is bad, no matter the color.

That doesn't justify white people going on IG and calling him nigger. His choice of job doesn't mean people should be able to do that. I strongly disagree with you that he "seems like a prick". He's clearly had enough and is pleading with people to leave him alone. How does that make him a prick?

Does it justify him to call everyone niggas or use the word?

At least he can rage on the internet, white folks will be just called racist if they criticize anything remotely related to race.

As non-american these things are just so weird, like why on 2020 race is so important at there? Why cant people just be people, and same rules for all?

Just came across this video from voice actor Shawn Fonteno a few months ago by accident and couldn't find anything about it here in search.



Anyway yeah, dude seems like a real prick.

LMFAO FUCKING FOAMY PFP HAHAHAHAHAHHA LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

I thought this was just a crazy rant at first, but about six minutes I totally get it.

If he's getting a bunch of white people dropping the N bomb on his page for shits and giggles, then this man has every right to be fucked off.

Yeah racism is very weird. What’s even weirder is when people wonder why people get really upset about it. It’s growing again in America and people are pissed about it, unfortunately more aren’t.

Also, may as well lock this thread. It’s going downhill anyway.

Well Harrison Ford didn't even need people to say anything negative or racist for him to shit on all his fans.

White privilege?
Ford is just an asshole.
