Like damn, it was only 10 years ago and they’re doing racist accents for like every type of asian you can think of.

      I didn’t even know that. I am a casual viewer of JonTron for many years. Has he made some sketchy videos or tweets?

        Back in 2017, he went onto Destiny’s stream and rattled off a bunch of racist statistics.

        *Before the debate he was apparently on some right-wing podcast saying shit about immigrants.

        Oh, and he called america a Banana Republic in response to Trump losing.

        Afaik at this point he’s learned to shut the fuck up and stay in his lane.

          Anything more recently? And anything that is him going full Nazi?

          Saying racist bullshit is bad and I think I won’t watch him anymore then but “going full Nazi” is a bit more serious I believe.

              Oh wow didn’t know it was this bad. Is that from the 2017 stream or more recent? Either way he is a pos and I won’t watch him ever again.

                Those are old comments - as another poster said, he’s kept his head down but hasn’t apologized or shown he’s grown past it. I’m not convinced, especially seeing how he’s had some hot anti-vax takes since the pandemic started

                  Yeah. Seems like he 100% still believes this shit but just keeps it to himself. Man this is depressing. Is there any funny gaming YouTuber that isn’t a giant pos?

                  JonTron -> no, as we just established

                  Game Grumps -> kinda racist and Danny seems to be at best a creep and at worst a rapist

                  OneyPlays -> if offensive=funny was a channel

                  PewDiePie -> if he isn’t a right winger he is at least very careless with his “jokes”

                    Northernlion seems like a cool dude. He’s the one I watch most.

                    Mega64 and Rocco Botte keep winning (oh god I hope nobody proves me wrong about this).

                    Kinda pre-youtube and then youtube, dunno if it counts.

                    Don’t personally watch them but a few friends of mine swear by the Real Time Fan Dub people & associated channels - I like Lythero but it’s a lot of fgc stuff so it might not be everybody’s bag. Jerma is still good but fuckin impenetrable lol.

                    There’s plenty of good stuff out there but yea a lot of that 2000s-2010s gaming youtube circle turned out to be trash sadly

                    the best gaming channel on YouTube was SirRonLionHeart and he’s retired (but seems like he’s doing well) also he dropped his character in his newer stuff

                    oh what the-

            To my knowledge he hasn’t posted any explicitly wehraboo shit a swastika yet.

            Other than never really apologizing for those statements during the debate, he’s been keeping his head down.
