How are they not affiliated, when he's in the game? I mean some logic used in this thread is craaaazyBut you aren't criticizing him. You're hurting a company that has no affiliation with him.
That's a great postQuoted for the fucking tea!
But you aren't criticizing him. You're hurting a company that has no affiliation with him.
Exactly. It's not a statement, it's a vendetta.
Is he actually composing new stuff for these games? Then I stand corrected.
But, yeah. In the post you quoted I literally said I think it's ok to support Dragon Quest, because you can pick your battles. I don't know why you feel the need to keep repeating my points.
But you aren't criticizing him. You're hurting a company that has no affiliation with him.
He runs a gaming channel, just being in a video game is benefiting him.
If you're just a kid trying to find gaming content to watch you're naturally going to be drawn to the person you heard was featured in a video game, it raises his status.
Go fuck yourself Josh.
Jon hasn't done shit on games for damn near 2 years tho
Has this company denounced his views? I don't think so, they're absolutely affiliated with him until so.But you aren't criticizing him. You're hurting a company that has no affiliation with him.
Yeah, I'm not advocating for a ban on the game's discussion here (and even if I was, a mod has chimed in on that so it's completely irrelevant) so we're discussing two different things.Which is fine. A lot different from wanting the entire game being banned fron NeoGAF discussions though. You can make your own purchase decisions with you own standards and your own money. What I'm against is banning a game from GAF for one minor VA role that was contracted/done before dude went all out edgelord, when there are games discussed in GAF that are literally made by similar edgelords.
I'm curious though, are you going to boycott Humble Bundle as well? They are the publishers of the game and haven't made any statement on it either.
He's been paid already. I will support a platformer if it's good. The internet made this asshole (and so many others) famous, should we stop paying for an internet connection???
And yet another thread where a number of posters' opinions could be boiled down to "fuck you, got mine". It's astounding what people will give a pass because [reasons]. Yet every two weeks we get a thread about why video games have a negative stigma and/or image problem.

Thanks. Let them live the big life though.
Everything is covered by blood and extortion.
"Bu-bu-but, that guy is a racist."
Yeah, to all people in this thread, i have a statement to make. Your ancestors are more than likely to have been very bad people, to have commited a lot of crimes. Like killing indians. Or enslave people. So, in order. To condemn you all, i'll stop reading this thread. K? Thxbye.
My ancestors were a minority of farmers and fisherman in an island country in the Indian Ocean. Whoooooooaaaaaaa. There you go assuming everyone is white and trying to play your bullshit gotcha game. Go smell your own farts.Thanks. Let them live the big life though.

I'm not even sure how to respond to this nonsense. Is it a parodyHe's been paid already. I will support a platformer if it's good. The internet made this asshole (and so many others) famous, should we stop paying for an internet connection???

Only because it makes you look like a hypocrite and undercuts the stance you're taking in this thread.
You imply others are tangentially supporting a white supremacist while admitting that you directly support a Rape of Nanking denier - the latter of which leaves you without a leg to stand on with respect to the former.
If I can fuck over a racist if even just by 0.000001% in any way and I'm not inconvenienced in the least because I'm not dying to play this, then I'm going to do it every time.
Jon however is a big enough racist where I would happily and enthusiastically go out of my way to fuck over any way I can.
Fuck jontron.
If they're as public as Jontron about their racist views, I doubt they'd stay long when public backlash erupts.Oh no. A racist in my vidyagaemz? Gosh diggity darn it.
Time to start background checking everyone that's involved in the creation of an entertainment product you consume. I bet there's a lot worse shit out there than JonTron.

I think its meant to be the other way around, as publicity for the game itself, as in "check out this game with your favorite Youtuber in it"
I mean if you know nothing about the game you're not gonna care about checking out a single name for a bit role in the credits
He's been paid already. I will support a platformer if it's good. The internet made this asshole (and so many others) famous, should we stop paying for an internet connection???
Today I learned that that everyone has done a bad thing before, therefore we should just give up on morality and abandon any standards we might have.
They've had half a year since Jon Tron had his meltdown.
no. I think it looks neat and harkens back to an age of gaming that I fuckin love. I'd like it to do well so there is more of it ala the 2d platformer boom fro a while back. It is heartbreaking to see it get ran through the mud because of one outside source is all.
but hey its a free board and I have no control over that so I'll just keep it to myself.
He really is a garbage human being. He might even be worse than JonTron (and what's with people with JT initials anyway?)

You're not fucking him over in any way, not even 0.0000001%. Dude doesn't get one cent of the sales. Dude doesn't give a shit if you buy this game. He has no investment in the game.If I can fuck over a racist if even just by 0.000001% in any way and I'm not inconvenienced in the least because I'm not dying to play this, then I'm going to do it every time.

And? Do you know their circumstances, if they are in a crunch for a half a year, etc? Like i said, in my case, i tend to give the benefit of the doubt, especially for developers that are in the mid of development.
Has this company denounced his views? I don't think so, they're absolutely affiliated with him until so.
Yep going out and purchasing a tiki torch rnToday I learned that that everyone has done a bad thing before, therefore we should just give up on morality and abandon any standards we might have.

When the game comes out and gets bombarded with negative Steam reviews I'm sure they'll do something then.
That'll be the day.When the game comes out and gets bombarded with negative Steam reviews I'm sure they'll do something then.
If a company built a building, and hired someone to tile one of the rooms, and a year after the building was made they found out the tiler was a racist, would they be obligated to do the same? Would they be in the wrong for not hiring someone else to go and rip out and redo those tiles?
Can you take a second and try to reconcile white supremacy with that? Please?so now its okay to review bomb?
see this is what I don't get, you can't (correctly) call people out on their shitty behavior and then validate the same exact shitty behavior; just because you agree with it this time.
thats lame.

He blocked me because i liked a tweet that said hes become a bitter person.
Like i didnt even say anything directly to him.
Very happy with the fact Gamexplain blacklisted his garbage ass .
It doesn't take much time to write a statement explaining why a white supremacist will remain in your game
They can give a statement. They can make it in <200 characters on Twitter.
The JonTron revelations aren't exactly new.Sure they can (and should), but people deep in crunch don't really keep up with what's happening on the internet.
Not that they are, but they could be, so i don't mind giving the benefit of doubt.
Hat in Time |OT| Featuring a White SupremacistMy current thinking is I'll highlight these issues clearly in the OT.
We shouldn't ignore that Gears for Breakfast's silence is tacitly endorsing JonTron, but we shouldn't make it the centre of discussion in the OT itself either.
I really wish they'd make a statement on this.
