They can if they want - the means are there, but they'd rather stick the PlayStation on watch Stampycat and his mates, or EthanGaming (himself only a young boy) or one of those channels. They say TV is a terrible babysitter, but at least that's regulated - I have to monitor their activity just in case they wander upon a channel with swearing, or even worse someone fucking dropping a "Death To All Jews" equivalent "joke" in there. The likes of JonTron have a young audience, brought in by his Lets Play vids, and the next thing you know his fans are being told that the white race is being genocided. You don't need your kids hearing that shit. |
So, it turns out JonTron is a bit of a dick...

Registered 16 years agoI think the 'career over' thing is a bit premature. If the recent betting stuff and PDPs casual facism are anything to go by, his next video will be flooded with 'WE STILL BELIVE IN U JON' comments and it will be business as usual. -
Yeah, terrestrial TV is a dead duck. And who watches a dead duck? Not even it's mother -

Registered 16 years agoI think it's only fair to reveal that I once punched a ring-tailed lemur in the face. -
That's pretty good going, I saw a red lemur (it may have been El cucuy) in Mexico a couple weeks back and it didn't even wait for me to finish shadow boxing before it took off -

Registered 6 years agoYeah as something of a internet personality myself I feel I need to confess that as a child on more than one occasion I pulled my eyes slinty and done a Chinese voice. I also have on occasion put my tongue into the bit of skin under my lip and made mongoloid noises. I'm not proud of it but it was a different time back then. -

In all seriousness though, as kids we didn't know better, it's what passed for comedy on the playground and if everyone else was doing it, it's fine right? I bet I did the same, but you don't realise until someone says "hey, that's not acceptable" or maybe figure it out for yourself. Hopefully anyway - UKIP et al shows there's still adults out there that haven't really moved on.

Which is the situation here too, you run the risk of kids seeing the things he writes and says and thinking this sort of shit is normal.

JonTron is of Iranian descent and his parents (or at least his father) were immigrants, as I understand it. So, this is a bit more disturbing than that. It's kinda like the two African American ladies who were on Newsnight defending Trump like he was Jesus.

Perhaps it's pandering to an imagined audience, perhaps it's actual systemic indoctrination.
A few years ago I would have said that given time society would naturally become more tolerant to minorities of every stripe. Not quite so optimistic now. It doesn't just seem to be a matter of waiting for the older generations to die off.

An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.
I suppose he could have shit himself after the US election results, and now feels threatened that he'll be singled out. Not an excuse, just a theory.

Registered 15 years agoMassively unsurprisngly, other youtube dickhead TotalBiscuit is apparently rushing to JonTron's defense. Apparently we should give JonTron the benefit of the doubt! Ok, I will - luckily there's no fucking doubt that he's a stone-cold racist cunt.

Registered 15 years agoI'd be wary of trying to draw comparisons between this and PDP's fiasco.
He made a video to push the limits of what should be acceptable, and fucked up. Not sure how genuine that was, but the following media context issue was the main problem with everyone jumping on the bandwagon and taking his content out of context, including on a video where he discusses the media taking stuff out of context.
And that shit wasn't great, don't get me wrong. But it's not like he's spurting out some white power nonsense which is on the verge of what JonTron is doing.
The fat weird beardy prick. -
