There’s a certain irony in JonTron’s tweet about Ethan being “a better investigative journalist,” when said “journalist” evidently decided to just trust a source in a precarious position, rather than vetting the words of that source through other sources.
I mean, even in Rhet/Comp, a single source absent further…
I would like to provide another friendly reminder to everyone here that major brands pulling their ads off Youtube are not a violation of any YouTubers’ free speech. This is because only the government is prevented from restricting free speech. To say that businesses are violating the free speech of bigots by pulling…
I love that even after the article talks about assholes who say “drive better” despite accumulated evidence, you actually raised your hand and went, “Yeah, that’s me, right here.”
You sound like an insufferable asshole.
How fucking hard is it to read through the very first provided link to see the accumulated proof and dozens of people discussing the problem? It takes literally 30 seconds to click, read the first post, oh shit what’s this, it’s a link to proof! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/132087722?t=11m45s
If you’re complaining about the PC reporting function, just because you can’t see the result doesn’t mean it’s not working. I’ve come across people who have been reported for offensive Battletags (renamed ‘BNet User’) and who have had their voice and text chat functions disabled as a result of player reports.
Most people do not understand that the First Amendment’s protection of Freedom of Expression only protects you from government retribution for protected speech.
It does not—and has never—protected you from private or economic consequences visited upon you by an employer, a litigant, or any other individual or group that…
Thats a rather alternative view of what happened. Jafari tweeted out his support of White Supremacy. A personality from a different medium asked him to come on his show and talk about it where Jafari said even more white supremacist lies and then Jafari on his own Youtube channel double downed on his white supremacist…
And I don’t want to hear a voice that reminds me that the actor thinks my race is inherently violent and criminal.
This is a perfectly reasonable response. Others have already made the point that severing a professional association != censorship, so I’ll only add the following:
While it is exceptionally uncommon (and in some cases, even illegal, depending upon protected class status) for an employer to terminate an employee based…
Oh noooooooooo
Hey. Fuck you too.
I would like to remind everyone that this is not censorship and that Playtonic as a private business has the right to express itself as they see fit. If they do not wish to include voice work by a controversial figure in their video game that is well within their right. Jon’s free speech was not violated in any way…
Ohhh, into necrophilia as well, kinky.
Did you fall for your dad’s movie popcorn trick often?
It’s not about outrage. Many people simply don’t want to listen to someone with stupid, hateful views. And why should we? People are judging jontron and finding him lacking.
This is a pretty relevant point, just in general.
Considering how it has been doing in terms of sales (especially since that last update) and the fact that people keep paying attention to it? Hardly true. You may want to take your salt somewhere else instead.
