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?

Yes and it will never stop blowing my mind that people took a video of him saying “I didn’t convey myself very well” as if it was an actual apology.

Personally I thought it was very clear what he was conveying when he insisted that “wealthy black people are statistically more likely to commit violent crimes” than wealthy white people.

Just a small correction - he said that wealthy black people are statistically more likely to commit violent crimes than poor white people

I didn’t even know that. I am a casual viewer of JonTron for many years. Has he made some sketchy videos or tweets?

Watching old Zero Punctuations can be a wildly jarring experience

At least Arin has openly apologized for the things he said, talked about how he didn’t understand why what he was saying was actually wrong. Unlike literal ethno-nationalist JonTron.

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.

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
