Disguisting on Playtonic's part. They have every right as a business to make a decision to whoever they want in their game or not, but the fact that they took someone out for having a different, though maybe controversial, view on something as the reason is just pathetic. 

Do companies not realize the more they give into SJW's, the more those SJW's feel as though they have some sort of power and can get whatever they want by bitching and whining about whatever they can find to be triggered about?

This has nothing to do with "giving into SJWs", this has everything with them being worried about losing money because they're associated with a racist.

I read it. It was quite a good article.

"They weren’t jokes, they were beliefs. And yes, he absolutely has a right to those beliefs, just as much as anybody else has a right to find those beliefs vile and disconcerting".

That said I'm going to abandon this thread like Nathan drake escaping a dungeon.

I was in the middle of editing my original post before you responded. But it is people like SJW's that have a problem with Jontron having a different view that they deem as 'racist' (Because anyone with a different opinion is called a racist or nazi nowadays by those people) so Playtonic removed him from the game due to fear of SJW backlash.

Sure, as a business they have every right to decide what happens in their own game and if they feel like keeping JonTron in it was going to lose them some sales then they have every right to remove him if they want. But they gave into the whole SJW "Jontron is nazi because of his view on something" narrative that these people are trying to push in doing so out of fear of that backlash. 

Probably because he read this report from the Washington Post?  Poor white kids are less likely to go to prison than rich black kids.  I guess the WP is just a bunch of racists, though.  Of course, they say it is because of discrimination, while one could say it's because they commit more crimes.  I'd have to go back and rewatch the whole context of them "entering the gene pool" (not tainting it.)

Here's a question, do you plan on getting ME:A?

We're deeming him racist because he is racist. End of story.

Great argument there. "He's racist because he just is!". 

Seems like the attitude Playtonic probably would have had when making this decision if they only listened to comments like yours. 

"Someone said he's racist? Well instead of looking into it ourselves, let's just immediately agree with it and further those people's agendas because we might lose sales!1!$#!'.

Instead of thinking for themselves that "You know, maybe JonTron isn't actually a nazi or racist like they're trying to say and just had a different view on something" they just immediately fucking gave in to the SJW agenda that they want people to think.
