Like damn, it was only 10 years ago and they’re doing racist accents for like every type of asian you can think of.
Isn’t the JonTron guy just an open nazi now?
Wait whaat?
Yep it’s pretty fucking bad
I didn’t even know that. I am a casual viewer of JonTron for many years. Has he made some sketchy videos or tweets?
Back in 2017, he went onto Destiny’s stream and rattled off a bunch of racist statistics.
*Before the debate he was apparently on some right-wing podcast saying shit about immigrants.
Oh, and he called america a Banana Republic in response to Trump losing.
Afaik at this point he’s learned to shut the fuck up and stay in his lane.
Anything more recently? And anything that is him going full Nazi?
Saying racist bullshit is bad and I think I won’t watch him anymore then but “going full Nazi” is a bit more serious I believe.
He had choice comments about commulists [sic] ruining America and immigrants polluting the gene pool, which reads pretty fucking nazi to me.
Oh wow didn’t know it was this bad. Is that from the 2017 stream or more recent? Either way he is a pos and I won’t watch him ever again.
I gotta admit, I sometimes still go back and watch early Game Grumps just because 2012 and 2013 were a happier years for me. I was finally on my own back then, I had a cat who loved me, and I had a moderate amount of financial independence.
I had friends too, and we all enjoyed the same type of internet content, so I probably mix together that type of nostalgia. All blended together. We’d watch Game Grumps and then we’d also play terrible games on a couch together.
I know nothing like that has necessarily changed, I can still find people to play video games with, but so much of my brain has changed. Even knowing how Game Grumps turned out doesn’t dissuade me from enjoying the older stuff somehow. I never liked Dan. I got sex creep vibes from him Day 1 and I wasn’t wrong.
I’m very much in the same boat, I absolutely agree there are problems with the attitudes. But that Grumps era just holds a special comfort for me.
I’d watch anything similar if I could find it. Two goofballs goofing around with SNES games on a couch is what I like. Reminds me of when I had friends. Everything is twitch streams and vtubers now and it just doesn’t hit the same.
I will never forget that GGs studio fucking outed a gay furry to their conservative family because they dared to point out problematic stuff in Dream Daddy.
Whats the problematic parts of dream daddy, the game was too boring for me to finish
it sometimes treats relationships between gay men as a funny haha joke rather than anything resembling a typical relationship
honestly I don’t know what was pointed out specifically, but a gay member of the staff (the only gay staff member) apparently brought up some complaints regarding the writing/representation and he was resoundingly ignored, and then outed to the family. No one quite knows what happened, but the gay developer guy attempted suicide, so it seems like it was something serious
also it’s not clear how much the game grumps themselves were involved or if it was mainly the studio staff. Who knows. There’s not a lot of open information about it
lmao hearing jontron saying the n-word just sounds so natural. its like “yeah this exactly lines up with expectations”
fucking g*mers. the worst.
Holy shit dude, what the hell
That’s worse than I expected as someone who casually watched a decade ago.
