Videogame YouTubes essentially requires you to be constantly shifting to more effectively pander to your core demographic so unless you make "explicitly rejecting nazism" part of your brand or limit your focus to exclude any kind of wider commentary it's inevitable that you'll end up catering to a base of fashy neet pepes.

I'd be legit bummed if CritiKal turned out to be a shithead though. I'm not above being a fan of youtube gamers.

e: what's especially idiotic and frustrating about the "muh culture" types is that American culture relies on foreign sources and race mixing to syncretize and maintain its vibrancy. American culture isn't a static embodiment of middle class WASP values and never really was. Creating a space where different races, ethnicities, and religions could live amicably together if not harmoniously is what makes it such a fun and interesting country to live in. American identity is formed through an exchange between peoples, and attempting to shut those interactions down isn't just anti-American it's practically alien.

Critikal seems to hate Trump and Hillary, so I'm guessing he's a Bernie fan or at worst a clueless libertarian.

idk. he got a ton of poo poo for saying calling some hardware retarded on twitter and a ton of people attacked him right when the gamergate shitstorm started because he didnt defend zoey quinn or something(i don't think he ever said anything about, he worked with her once at some con) i assumed he went right wing after that plus his upbringing. its really loving sad that he went super alt right. but i am sadly not surprised.

The guy is pretty much a trust fund babby. He doesn't really have to care about money. Although he's only ever been as good as the people he's collaborating with, and now he's made himself toxic.

i don't fully remember but if i'm fairly sure jontron was the first big youtuber to spread the lie that zoey quinn had been sleeping around with reviewers, he tweeted a comic where she was literally surrounded by dicks iirc. it was the very first gamergate thing i ever saw on twitter

I only know it is edited. The original I think was some sort of Socialist agitprop. This has the Pelican of Christ added to it. The Pelican of Christ on a red background is a Christian socialist symbol.

I knew the pelican's original context and the socialist use makes sense, was wondering if the image as a whole was from somewhere. Thanks!

Also JonTron was hilariously awful before he was a Nazi hth

I LOVE SEEING DEAD BABIES ON 𝕏, THE EVERYTHING APP. IT'S WORTH IT FOR THE FOLLOWING TAB.
Even taking JonTron's messed up opinions into account, you would think he would have the business acumen to remain as apolitical as possible. Just make goofy faces at videogames and enjoy the money and adulation and don't publicly sympathize with white supremacists, geez. These Youtubers need handlers.

Personally I think the quality of his videos went down when the productions values went up so I'm not that disappointed.

Jontron is a sad lonely loser who discovered that, if you parrot right wing points, you can get some new Friends

Said Friends don't really give a poo poo about him, but will naturally latch onto any opportunity to gain mainstream legitimacy, so they'll give Jontron the validation he desperately, desperately wants.
