I met Danny just a few days ago at a live show. I was wondering the lobby and he just walks through one of the doors holding some tea and smiling. He immediately got mobbed by fans so I didn't have much of an opportunity to talk to him, but he just put his tea down and stood with the fans for a good while and had casual chats with them with a permanent smile.

He seems like a very genuinely nice and super chill dude. He's miles apart from Jon in terms of personality.

I knew you were trouble

JonTron has always vaguely annoyed me but, simultaneously, I've had a soft spot since he has a conure (conures plural now, I think) that he clearly loves very much and takes great care of. I'm not surprised to see him prove himself an enormous shitheel but I am somewhat disappointed. Like a disapproving aunt. Just... judging him, coolly, from afar.

But really, Jontron can go gently caress himself.

Like that black lawyer that got arrested for being outside his own house(aka his POS racist white neighbors that he lived next to for years called the cops)?

Or the other black lawyer that was told by a racist judge that defendants werent allowed in the courtroom.

I think they figured out that two passably-attractive straight dudes joking about being gay for each other is way more funny if they're both into the idea. "No homo tho" is some weak-rear end coward poo poo.

Personally I always found JonTron the only funny guy on GameGrumps, granted he absolutely needs editing to achieve that, whereas Arin and Dan are aggressively unfunny, if probably perfectly good people. Not that I could stomach watching him any more at this point after revealing himself to be a piece of poo poo, which also is not really a problem since his output has been in the dumpster the past 18+ months anyway. Good riddance to him.

I've never watched his show or anything, but the few times I've seen a picture of him in some random context I pretty much immediately assumed he'd be terrible. Anybody with that kind of facial hair (and face in general, really) is more or less guaranteed to be obnoxious and/or an rear end in a top hat.

That's my Jontron story, thanks for reading.

In the other thread I've seen talking about him, someone posted an old Game Grumps video where Jon needed constant censoring because his idea of a joke was to repeatedly drop N-bombs over and over. No actual context for a joke. Just shouting racial slurs over the gameplay.

Sounds about right from what we know about him now. I never actually watched a single GameGrumps video (well, except the one I tried and found really boring) so I don't really know how he managed in that kind of environment, I'm just going off his heavily-edited solo work.

Arin actually talked about that a while ago, he even had to dump a series before it went up because Jon wouldn't stop talking about abortion. Dude's a real piece of poo poo.

Forgive me if I don't understand the ins and outs of videogame youtubes, but why couldn't they just tell him to shut the hell up during recording instead of recording a bunch of it and then having to drop it before releasing? Like that clip earlier where he just shouts the n-word over and over, why didn't his co-host just tell him "what the gently caress" and do the segment over again? Preferably also telling him to never do that again?

JonTron also once argued that Samus didn't count as a major female video game hero because you couldn't tell she was a lady under her armor. Arin actually called him out on that one, but it did no good.

I assume giving him the benefit of the doubt and hoping that it was just a joke that was very poorly thought out. As for redoing the segment I can't really give an explanation for why they didn't just cut the whole thing. Maybe to try to mildly shame Jon into not doing it again? Maybe laziness? Either way it wasn't a long term solution, hence why he was removed.

edit: just for clarification I think the segment should have been edited out or Jon should have been called out more

It's probable that they realized it'd be weird to have a random jump cut with no explanation in order to cut out the whole segment.
