Free speech does not mean speech without consequences, and they are well within their right to change their game as they see fit. I do hope everyone who protests censorship in games understands that. This isn't censorship, it's a change being made by a developer that no longer wishes to have Jontron contributing to their game.

That being said, while I personally plan to avoid Jontron's videos in the future, his voice being in a game I backed didn't bother me in the slightest. But hey, it's their game, and it won't be affecting my experience in any meaningful way, so...eh.

Nail on the head, free speech doesn't mean no consequence.

Well, it's unsurprising. I'm just wondering if they did it because they disagreed with what he said, or they were afraid of associating with him.

I haven't watched the video, so I can't really verify it, but I found a summary of things that he said:

if other races don't want immigrants in their countries, then white america can say "we don't want immigrants here" just an example.

I'd say that other countries being xenophobic doesn't mean that we should be xenophobic.

EDIT: sorry, I didn't realize that you were paraphrasing JonTron.

I didn't know about a video I just sway his retarded argument on Twitter being a racist douchebag. Something along the lines Jontron supported the immigrant ban,does not support immigrants even tho his father is Iranian immigrant.

Whatever any country is doing doesnt mean anything for another country. In this particular case, for the one country known as the land of "opportunity" and "freedom" it most certainly is trying hard to not be.

That sounds like something I would hear out of Trump, not a good start xP

It's also ironic considering that his father is Iranian.
