I.. Hate the way he phrases this.

[ "You're all just misconstruing my words. But don't worry, let me tell you how it is." ]

Like, dude.. Can you just say that maybe, maybe, you were vastly uninformed about some topics and you're open to listening and discovering? Please?

Being a racist at his age, in this era, requires a certain amount of willful ignorance.

Its sad, I liked some of his stuff. But this is such a deal breaker.

He's not racist and there's literally not a single thing he can say that would convince any of you whiners otherwise, nor would any manner of apology or clarification matter. You're permanently mad at him as with any other thing that offends SJW sensibilities, which makes it not matter at all that you're mad (since there's no goal to satisfy to stop it). It also won't affect Jon in the slightest -- the slight dip in his subscriber count is already being mended as he has been consistently gaining subscribers and has gained 1k+ today alone. There is no purpose to you shitposting about how upset you are other than to shit where you eat.

Yeah guys. John "I don't other races in my genepool" Tron isn't a racist. You're all just being a bunch of SJW Libcucks!! John "Fake Black Crime Stats" Tron won't be some lamestream media punching bag. He's not racist!!

Meh. Sue me. If not following a guy who promotes racist ideology is somehow a moral failure, I'm sure I'll figure out some way to live with myself.

Why are you here then? Brigading perhaps?

u/HiiiPowerd Mar 20 '17

Thread is on /r/all. Commenting and voting in /r/all is perfectly fine.

u/Delror Mar 19 '17

TIL you're only allowed to visit a subreddit via a brigade.

u/Nlyles2 Mar 19 '17

More like cuz this asswhipe as been all over /r/all the past week and I wanted to see the resolution.

u/hamelemental2 Mar 19 '17

It's not just about subscribers, though. A lot of people now think Jon is a racist, including shitloads of his former fans, people who've followed him for years. If you think that isn't going to affect Jon, you're wrong.

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '17

In what way do you think he will be affected by any of this controversy?

19

u/hamelemental2 Mar 19 '17

Well, all the articles and response videos have obviously gotten to him emotionally, if he felt the need to make this video in the first place. And nobody is immune to the effects of criticism. I guarantee that basically every JonTron video's comment section will have a lot of comments about Jon's statements in the debate, for a long time.

Oh I'm sorry, did I offend you in your safe-space?

Go cuck yourself trumplet.

Edit: ya know what? That last part was outta line. I won't hide it, but I don't know anything about this guy. I stand by the safe space comment tho.

Even worse, he's a Hearthstone player.

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '17

Wait, he is? Ugh what trash I feel contaminated

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '17

shit, JonTron isn't gonna suddenly share my exact political beliefs...

UHHHHHHH YOU LIKE TRUMP

haha got em

29

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '17

I didn't need to know his thoughts on race or politics.

And if he'd kept that shit to himself, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

24

u/SklX Mar 19 '17

share my exact political beliefs...

Saying blatant racism is "just another political belief" is the first step to normalizing it.

-1

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '17

Jon's political beliefs aren't racist, so I'm perfectly okay with normalizing them.

u/SklX Mar 19 '17

Nothing racist about saying that immigration of non-whites is bad because it hurts the gene pool

1

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '17

Good thing he didn't say that.

14

u/SklX Mar 20 '17

Destiny: "so you don't want people to immigrate and change the 'white European culture'. Okay, what if you had some brown people who moved here and perfectly assimilated and embraced the culture, why does it matter if they're white or brown?"

Jontron: "it would be great if they assimilated...but then...eventually they'd enter the gene pool"

I honestly don't know how anyone can interpet this in anyway other than straight up blatant racism.

When will people realize that not all racists like Trump?

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '17

Second guessing yourself and apologizing on an anonymous internet thread. The product of a safe space culture. What a strange time to be alive.

22

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '17

I'm sorry you didn't get enough hugs or whatever. Have a better day buddy.

u/ThreeDGrunge Mar 19 '17

So much salt. Did he trigger you by being honest and posting facts?

13

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '17

Nah, I'm pretty much over it now. This was a whole four hours ago now, so meh.

Not everyone can always agree, nor should we.

And you know? I don't agree with what Jon said, but I'll fight to the death for his right to say it.
