Jon has such an inflated ego. He is hardly a celebrity and the fact he thinks other celebrities are "pulling him in" to talking about his politics is, frankly, bullshit.
"I've probably made things worse" seems about right to me.
Yeah no.
I used to enjoy his Grump episodes but he really is a horrible person.
- He's talked shit on the Womens Marches.
- He was rude to Tim Schafer for daring to share a video by Anita Sarkeesian and accused Tim or sending a mob after him -- never mind the fact that Jon sent his own mob to Wikipedia when the article on him was up for deletion.
- He was pro-GamerGate which has plenty of proof to back up the idea that it really, really was NOT about ethics in gaming journalism when conservatives like Adam Baldwin and Milo Yiannopoulos were part of the crusade and the numerous elements at work there.
- He can't handle criticism at all and lashes out when someone does criticize him.
- He decided to side with Piers Morgan who is another grade-A piece of shit.
- Speaking of, he was prompted to side with Piers when Ewan McGregor opted out of going onto Piers' show after his comments on the Womens Marches. Piers made a jab at McGregor voicing his opiniom as an actor... so who the fuck does Jon think he is voicing HIS opinion if he agrees with Piers? Jon is a fan of free speech but then wants to imply McGregor is a hypocrite who preaches tolerance but doesn't practice it simply because McGregor was excercising his own free speech? That makes McGregor a hypocrite? That is straight out of the Conservative Strawman argument book -- my conservative family members, the conservative family members of my friends, use it all the time: "I thought you were supposed to be tolerant." It shows a fundamental lack of intelligent debate and really just makes him the actual hypocrite.
- He hates being politically correct but unlike good comedians who subvert political correctness with grace and intelligence, he tactlessly does it through cringey edgelord rants.
- He likes racist posts (someone linked to him liking an Islamaphobic post).
- Hell, even fans on his own subreddit have claimed it harder and harder to support him after every new rant and that his rants are becoming increasingly more incoherent as well.
What criticism is to be had? It was a nonviolent, uber-peaceful protest against a man who has ties to Russia and is a piece of human filth who, not through the people but through the Electoral College (which means we have to go down a rabbit hole explaining gerrymandering and how that skews shit), won the Presidency. And some would say it wasnt even the EC but Russia that helped him win it. A guy who bragged about sexual assault and has a long history of making incredibly disgusting comments about women. The only people who actually criticize it are pretty much just Trump supporters or people who don't understand why women should rightly be afraid for their rights and bodies under his Presidency -- and neither of those are legitimate criticisms of the march.
I didn't make a list of grade A assholes, I said Piers Morgan is one and that Jon is one too. That's it. We could be here all day and Anita wouldn't crack the top 100, I'd bet.
Oh my fucking god, "fake news! Fake news!" The people crying about fake news are the same types of people who talked about "ethics in gaming journalism!" Talk about circular logic. Milo Yiannopoulos was literally a figurehead of the Gamer Gate movement and he writes for Breitbart. Breitbart is the actual definition of fake news -- the same place that Steven Bannon was long a part of and hired the pro-pedophilia Milo Yiannopoulos. Thats the same Bannon who basically controls Trump right now. That's the same Breitbart that has gotten preferential treatment over other news organizations which have actually been barred from Trump's affairs. So no, the history books don't actually look back on Gamergate as overall right. Because it wasn't.
Yeahhh, see. That's typically how people are assholes/horrible people. They say something that people don't agree with and find asshole-ish. Calling anyone a horrible person is subjective because one can, should they be so inclined, attempt to debate morals all the way down into a never ending hole. I mean, playing devils advocate, one could ask what makes murder wrong. Most people would explain the usual reasons for why its wrong but that can always be met with "yeah, but why is that wrong?" But that's fuckimg stupid. Of course I said he's an horrible persom because he said stuff I disagree with because I think the things he says are horrible. Crazy how that works.
See, I do understand jokes. That's why I can listen to someone like Louis CK cracking racist or sexist jokes because that is someone who understands comedy at a fundamental level. JonTron? Eh, not really. And once again, there's a difference between a joke and simple petulant rage. Jon is the latter.
DAE liberal snowflakes?
Nothing about Trump and his administration, about Breitbart or Milo Yiannopoulos, is 'nuanced.' The only thing that is somewhat more nuanced than that is the Womens Marches but considering their plans to eradicate Planned Parenthood, it starts to make sense. Considering scientists are planning their own marches, one has to at least stop and go "huh, thats weird."
The only reason Youtubers and other celebrities are stepping forward with their views seemingly more now than ever, is because of how many people view him and his policies as fascist. It shouldn't be a matter of Democrat vs Republican. The GOP, if they had any sort of goddamned spine, would be just as Anti-Trump as the Left. I guarantee that no one would have acted this up in arms if it had been, say, Romney who became President. Or McCain, or Bush. But the GOP allowed themselves to be cannibalized by the bible thumping, fundamentalist extremist Christian fascists of the Tea Party and white nationalist Stormfront neckbeards who lol at feminism lmfao Pepe Richard Spencer lol Nazi imagery is so funny because jews lol snowflakes
It's people like Jon that propelled Trump to being the frontrunner of the GOP. It's people like him that led to all these youtubers finally posting their political thoughts at seemingly every opportunity.
