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 does someone have to say in this day and age for people to admit that it's actually racist? The insinuation that America belongs to white people really isn't enough? Believing that black people are just more likely to commit crime, regardless of socioeconomic status isn't enough?
He's been deemed a racist because he is one. It is possible for someone to be a racist without the white hood and burning cross.

Blame those people that overuse the word racist in every single thing where it's not needed nor does it make any sense. Nowadays if you even disagree with someone on something they'll call you a racist or nazi or anything like that.
It doesn't have the same kind of meaning anymore when someone will call someone else racist for any little thing even when it has nothing to do with racism. Which is why when I see a headline of something like "Jontron is racist", i'm more inclined to believe it's just people throwing the word around when it has nothing to do with racism as always to try and make that person look bad, which I don't see how you can deny, just look at anything in today's world and you'll find someone calling someone else racist,sexist,mysoginist, nazi, etc for any reason. People have an agenda, so when they see someone that either says or thinks something they don't like their agenda is to make that person look as horrible as possible and to try and spread that around. Which is why even if they know someone isn't a racist or a nazi or anything they'll still try to say it anyway, either because they are ignorant enough to actualy believe those things or just don't care and will try to paint that false picture to support their narrative anyway.
It's been happening a shit ton on Youtube lately too, just look at the shit that happened to PewDiePie like a month ago. Those people that made the articles knew that he wasn't actually a fucking nazi or anti-semite, but they still proceeded to try to slander him anyway with that shit because that was their agenda.
Even if JonTron might have said some controversial statements, the amount of people trying to call him racist I would assume are the same people that would have tried to call him that no matter what he said. The mentality of these people that do these things has resorted to "He's either 100% in agreement with us and what we think, if not we paint him as a fucking nazi or racist or something bad like that".
