Forums - Gaming - Yooka Laylee remove 'controversial' Youtuber JonTron from game

I always laugh at people boycotting stuff over stupid reasons. YOU'RE missing out. Not anyone else. The game's gonna be massively successful either way.
I think Jon is clearly racist, but I would have bought the game with his voice or without it.

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. 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. 

What are you on about? People aren't calling him racist because he has a different view people are calling him racist because what he said was objectively racist this isn't even anything to do with SJW the video is available online and the are quotes that have been linked.



JonTron did TWO things you cant do these days. Defend some aspects of white people and not defending everything about non white people. Do one of the two. Not both. That's just death sentence.

Supporting assholes like Steve King also helps.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I thought this through and I will be pre ordering this game again.

It's just stupid to cancel my pre order for something like this. Pre order restored.

He apologized only because it was hitting him in the pocketbook.  He's not sorry about what he said, he's sorry he was called out on it and is losing subscribers/money/etc...

He should have kept his mouth shut in the first place!

Yes we must silence those disagree with us...

His problem is he did not know the topics well enough to debate them. He was actually right about some stuff, but this was mixed with ignorance which makes it easy for someone to just discount everything he said.



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

Yep, we must silence them... and fire them if we can.
