Current Events > are we still supposed to hate JonTron

(+) Yeah! (+)

is he still a racist
---

He's a neck beard so yes

Never cared for him to begin with
---

rip noonas
---

YES! He is so slow putting out videos and they're usually not as good as his classic game ones.
---

He never was a racist.

I never started.

are you sure

the things he said sounded pretty racist.
---

Like?

I honestly don't think he's as racist as he presented himself during that time period, he just has a really hard time admitting he's wrong generally and doubles down like a motherfucker about -everything-. So stuff just sort of spun out of control.

Don't care for his videos anymore though. Since he stopped doing game stuff the only one I've honestly found funny was VR Troopers, and he's incredibly slow making content.

Like?

Destiny: Do you think that it's okay for a country to stifle its growth a little bit in order to maintain a homogenous cultural identity?
Jafari: Yeah, I think it's fine. Japan does it.

Destiny: The problem is young black men in the United States are disproportionately born to single mother households which is a leading indicator of crime. They're also disproportionately born into ghettos and low-income housing areas. They have access to worse education, okay? They're born into horrible socio-economic conditions. All of these things are massive contributors to being a criminal as you grow up. When you control for socio--

Jafari: But you are making the argument that it's white people that put them in those situations.

Destiny: Because they kind of, sort of, did over the past two hundred years. They kind of brought them over as slaves. They kind of bred them a certain way. They kind of red-lined them and gentrified them out of certain neighbourhoods and certain communities. They kind of legally discriminated on them and put them all in certain areas for a long time. They kind of disproportionately policed them and sentenced them to higher crimes in the courts and whatnot. White people have contributed a lot to this.

Jafari: So I suppose that's why the crime rates are pretty consistent across Africa, too?
---

P sure he's still following white nationalists on twitter so
---

How is that racist? He was pointing out statistical facts.

expect its not a fact

Fact check: False. The crime rates are not consistent across Africa and vary significantly. For instance, Numbeo'sWikipedia's W.svg 2017 Crime Index has South Africa rated at 75.72 (the 4th highest globally) whereas Ghana is rated at 46.99 (56th globally).[44] South Africa has the most white people of any African country,[45] and white people are so rare in Ghana that many locals have never seen them in person before.[46] For comparison, Norway, a developed nation with a non-white population of 2%,[47] is rated 45.69 (61st globally). Tunisia scores even better at 40.94 (73rd globally). Any implication of racial predisposition to crime is not backed up by the data.

but thanks for trying. welcome to the ignore list. bye bye.

He's not racist, he just has some conservative views when it comes to unregulated mass immigration.
---

I don't think he's a racist, or at least not racist in the way people say he is.

He said some dumb shit during the debate, but by the time he was saying that shit Destiny was just grilling him. A guy who was at the time playing video games and watching shitty movies debating a guy who debates essentially "for a living" should never have happened in the first place.

Also, people pick and choose things he tweets to fit their own agenda, like when he tweeted a Rush Limbaugh tweet that wasn't even racist, it was just some dumb radio personality joke but people went nuts because he re tweeted Limbaugh.

It's dumb. Is he somewhat racist? Yeah, probably. Is he the KKK right wing supremo that morons online make him out to be? Hardly.

Probably, more importantly hes not funny

I've never hated him. I don't have to agree with every viewpoint of someone whose content I enjoy, since I actually matured beyond a high school level of thinking
---

Who watched Game Grumps before Dan took over from Jon?
---

JonTron can't be racist since he's Persian, a minority.
---

Only if youre an SJDubya

That topic title though.

Don't be a slave and start thinking independently.

Oh look this topic again

Lets be fair, Destiny is really smart and prepares a fuckton for his debates and JonTron is just some guy who was really good at making enjoyable content
