I don't know where to put this, but apparently people are shitting their pants over Jontron not being a lefty liberal like they think he was/should be, and there's a shitstorm being documented on /pol/ over it.

I guess this is the stream where he was saying the stuff that pissed people off. It's five hours, so I can't be arsed to go through it all. It's five hours but I think he comes in around thirty minutes in.

I love Jon but he wrote some dumb political shit on the internet and got backlash for it. Part of being internet famous.

No. 180259

I listened to the whole podcast and he really didn't say anything out of the ordinary, but it triggered Tumblr to hell and back. Basically, he's just moderate and hasn't drank SJW kool-aid. He's very centrist, left leaning and I guess that's why he reached out to Sargon.

He seriously was just saying shit like "the progressive left are like cultists". They're just proving him right with this salt and crazy behavior.

No. 180264

This 100%. I think it's pretty scary though because I have seen people pile on people for saying mostly the same type of thing. Like, unless you condemn Trump and his followers, you're irredeemable to many. People aren't willing to challenge the popular thought anymore, because the backlash looks like this.

I honestly don't see what he did wrong. He didn't "sperg out" on Twitter and he didn't say anything legitimately offensive. He stated his political views and pissed off SJWs.

I'm not a huge fan of Jontron, I've watched his videos before but I mostly agree with what he said. As another anon stated, if you don't condemn Trump and Trump supporters then you're considered the bad guy, and that's fucking retarded. I hate politics and I avoid SJWs as much as possible but I'm siding with Jon here.

Yeah, no.
One good thing about anon boards is that people tend to feel more comfortable saying what they think without dealing with the "consequences" of the Tumblr crowds shaming. Not such a far-fetched idea that many people would agree.

I mean, all he did was question the women's march thing. You can still be in support of something like women's rights and still question/have a criticism of it. I love Star Wars but I'm super critical of it regardless.

But idk. It's gotten to the point that any sort of questioning of 'why' is just a scarlet letter for people to dogpile you despite the fact your views almost align up to theirs.

>>180335

Agreed, yeah. I mean, I can't at ALL share my views publicly because most of my twitter/tumblr is industry people for work and god, games are just full of far left assholes who will dogpile you if disagree or follow someone they don't like so I keep my twitter really really vague and non-political. I have a few journalist who follow me that were basically freaking out recently a few months ago over Notch and one of them asked me on DM why I had liked some of his tweets. Like…dude. And because this is my professional life and my career I had to unlike those tweets which is insane to me.

I think Jon got tired of it. I'm certainly tired of it. I wish I had to the balls to tell people to fuck off.

I really wish people could accept that e-celebs, actual celebrities, social media figures and so on are just people and that someone disagreeing with you on one political topic doesn't suddenly make them the antichrist. Though that might be too much to wish for during this current political/media circus which has a ton of people thinking that the "opposite side of the debate" is either legitimately Hitler's army resurrected or entirely a bunch of idiotic screaming babies, which doesn't help people engage with new information or open themselves to reasonable adult discussions of varying political views at all.
Personally I don't care for some of the things Jontron has said but it's not the end of the world if one random guy holds different viewpoints from me.

No. 180381

I have to wonder what the people who are freaking out about this do in their day to day life. Do they just melt down when they realize that approximately 1 in 2 Americans voted for Trump and are therefore LITERALLY HITLER? Do they live in constant fear that the cashier at walmart or the old lady they helped cross the street might not hold the same opinions as the average Tumblr user?

No. 180419

Who the fuck feels sorry for the loud mouth neckbeard? He plays videogames. Should've just stuck to a model that worked for his obese ass, and now he's upset because surprise he touched on sensitive political topics that people took offense to.

I couldn't give two shits about Jontrons political identity I enjoy some of his content but obviously not for his shitty edgy atheist politics.

>He's out of his depth and I don't feel sorry for him.
Basically this. He has an extreme passionate hatred for SJW and libtards it's not clear whether he considers all liberals like this but he just can't get his point across eloquently it sounds like he's yelling into a brick wall 90% of the time it's cringy but completely avoidable if he just shut the fuck up on twitter.

She's a prime example of someone stressed out by the difference between what one ought to do and what one wants to do. Yes Lindsay, all you want to be is drunk and give up ACADEMIA because it made you despise your desire of crawling into bottles. That's how fucking basic you are. You got some education and then you started yelling at people how garbage they all are, because it made you feel garbage about yourself. Oh boy.

The voter turn out was at 54%. This compared to 54% in 2012, 57% in 2008, and 55% in 2004. The most unpopular election was in 1924, with 48% turnout.

jontrons opinions are basically babby's first week on /pol/. To be honest the way his fans are freaking out on him isn't helping because now the actual /pol/tards are going to watch him and become his fanbase and he's going to pander to them instead. (See Tammy Lahren)
