When you're an 'individual' such as Glazier and only care about an issue when it increases your standing as a "freedom fighter" or "injustice fighter" rather than for the betterment of your fellow human beings. Eventually you try to find a smaller and smaller group to defend until you end up like that one article that tried to defend pedophiles.

Again, the guy voiced. Opinions. That you don't like. That's all. "We don't accept open racism" oh well my apologies, my Lord, pray forgive these verbal trespasses but I don't recall electing you to the Decency Brigade.

And, again, I really find it disturbing that we hate differences of opinion so much that we'd rather see those who voice different opinions suffer for it. Again, I had asked, we enjoy a right to be able to speak freely in a public forum without fear of governmental reprisal; why is it then that we have taken it upon ourselves (and our corporate masters) to wield the tyrant's club?

Like, all of you who are so earnestly saying such and such is a Nazi, okay, but what part of being pro-censorship fascistic information-control zealots equates to "opposing Nazis" because I'm not sure I see it

im guessing due to your loving retarded posts that you've never worked in any kind of office or business or real loving job, much like youtube "superstar" john tron. well in the real world when you say stupid racial poo poo you get suspended or fired from HR, or are cut from the company so people don't associate that garbage person with the company and let it hurt their image. if jontron worked in any office he'd have been loving fired for saying any of this poo poo.

lol though at "WIELDING THE TYRANT'S CLUB" a loving fat moron who does youtubes about videogames poo poo himself and maybe this legit developer doesn't want his poo poo also stinking up their product. this isn't the epic war you think it is, it's just a typical "talk poo poo and get kicked" scenario in the realm of babymen who literally don't even know how free speech works. maybe he'll realize how badly he hosed up now after getting a taste of how poo poo actually works. maybe he'll get a consultant, maybe try this "adulting" poo poo, but I doubt it

I saw the Jontron video with Sargon and that wasn't so bad and I was willing to give the guy the benefit of a doubt, but dang dude the poo poo he says in that destiny interview is pretty fuckin' awful and kinda hard to defend.

I always knew JonTron was kinda stupid back from when he was doing Game Grumps and all that but I didn't know the full extent of his retardation until now

He got one negative day of negative subscribers, then he starting going up in subscribers again at a slightly higher rate than before, so he's actually doing better than when this whole thing started. So it's more like "talk poo poo, get a slight loss of subscribers and a massive increase to views and longterm subscribers".

If they were doing this to protect the company's image, then they hosed up. Literally the only people remembering or caring that he was a VA in this was a 3 page thread on neogaf, a forum that had a pro-pedophile thread until they started getting news coverage.

The smart thing would have been to ignore poo poo or even just silently remove it rather than announce it, but they announced it and brought PR/attention to a guy who probably has the support of a lot of their purchasers.

it would have been smarter to just silently remove it yeah but I really doubt this effects the game sales that much. as for "doing better" this dude has done nothing but get mad on twitter for months and will probably put a bullet in his head at some point, I can't imagine being so mad at nothing for so long without bursting an appendix

I mean this is going to sell several hundred thousand if not break a million, so it won't make a huge impact (5% less than expected sales would be a huge impact). But it's just why are they even paying for a community manager or PR person if they're telling/doing such horrible decisions that have no positive impact on sales but a potential noticeable impact on sales lost?

Also tons of people get mad on twitter, being mad on twitter is not an accurate gauge of mental wellness beyond # of tweets for the most part. it's not a platform designed for coherent thought, its a platformed designed for 140 word responses that are pretty much mostly being a sarcastic piece of poo poo or linking poo poo with an 'lol' or 'wtf' style response.

Twitters been out for almost a decade and it's sunk or endangered tons of careers from people being idiots, this isn't new news. You can't go into a crowded mall and yell something about niggers and then announce your name after it and expect leniency, which is essentially what posting dumb poo poo on twitter is like except people will screenshot it so it lasts forever

I think these days people judge complete strangers way too quickly and immediately label someone as a poo poo human being the second they do or say something stupid. Like it really sucked when people said that James Rolfe hates women because he didn't want to see the new ghostbusters. People are hungry for outrage and just love making rash judgement these days, especially with political poo poo. Pewdiepie isn't a Nazi either, he's just dumb. You're guilty until proven innocent these days, and well, you're never proven innocent. So you're always guilty.

Internet moral crusaders suck rear end because it's easy to go on witch hunts and find "bad" people and then punish them, like Justince Sacco. You're not allowed to make mistakes or be wrong. Doing actual real good is hard and requires effort. I've made a concerted effort to be less judgmental of others, because self-righteousness has become like a plague and who am I to judge?

That said, JonTron has in fact said some pretty ignorant and racist poo poo so for once yeah, we got someone where who actually is guilty as charged. It seems like people were lashing out at him before he said anything really reprehensible, though. I'll defend James Rofle and even Pewdiepie to some degree, but I can't stand up for JonTron because the poo poo he's said is pretty awful and basically is some straight up white nationalist poo poo.

James Rolfe did absolutely nothing wrong though, he said "why see a film if you know you're going to hate it", and then followed through and the film turned out to be garbage and had a horrible box office result. Pewdiepie was more pushing the envelope with "hey people will do anything for $5, even declare death to all jews and hail hitler", but it was clear it was for shock value comedy and not actual nazi worship.

Who said he's being censored? The big issue is that the only place raising a stink about jontron being in the game was NeoGAF, a known forum for pedophiles (they had a pro-pedophile megathread they only removed after news started picking up on it) and other assorted retards at a significantly higher rate than any other web forum.

Why is playtonics browsing a pedophile friendly web forum inhabited by human garbage?

Will you admit current western culture is better than current arab culture? Not some 500 years ago comparison, but that it is 100% better to be a citizen in the united states right now than any arab country right now.

It sounds like he's referring to the new tactic of calling literally anyone who opposes someone's view points trying to label someone as a Nazi, no matter how minor the opposition. Retards like Glazier saying "100% of people who voted for trump are actual nazis".
