JonTron Megathread: The Most Retarded Thread on Facepunch - General

[QUOTE=Snickerdoodle;45626669]I thought he'd be more professional than that, but I guess everyone screws up at some point.[/QUOTE] what would make you think he would act professionally? the part where he's a youtube comedian or the one where he Echs and talks to his bird?

Why do people even care that he said retarded? He plays video games.

Jontron is pretty great.

You know what, I think we need a new topic. How do you feel about Jon's current work compared to his old work? I feel like his new stuff is quite a bit different from his old stuff as in they both have different sides of humor but I still find both of them have the same amount of entertainment value.

[QUOTE=Jesus Crits;45626690]Why do people even care that he said retarded? He plays video games.[/QUOTE] Eh, read something in the GG thread that said the use of the word retard by "famous" individuals not only made it seem okay to use a slur as an insult, but reinforce the idea that mentally handicapped individuals are weird and should be used be reduced to an insult. I dunno, in the end Jon said something bad, and didn't really help his case afterwards. In the end, we'll move past this and people won't care about this incident again (until the next shitstorm).

[QUOTE=Schmaaa;45626686]what would make you think he would act professionally? the part where he's a youtube comedian or the one where he Echs and talks to his bird?[/QUOTE] The part where it makes you a huge swollen chode to insult people for no reason, famous or not? The whole situation stems from the original tweet and jon's response. The tweet asking him to not say "retarded" was polite and it was a request. It wasn't rude and it wasn't a demand. Jon's response was a totally unnecessary insult. Jon's got a reputation for being friendly, so naturally when this happened a lot of people were like "what the fuck" because they expected better of him. It really isn't about Jon using some specific word, it's about Jon being an asshole.

[QUOTE=Schmaaa;45626686]what would make you think he would act professionally? the part where he's a youtube comedian or the one where he Echs and talks to his bird?[/QUOTE] Are you implying that a comedians show personality reflects exactly who they are in everyday life? Because I don't want to mis-interpret what you're trying to say if I am.

Oh well I tried.

It doesnt matter that he said retarded. Society is smart enough to form its own opinions about everyone, be they black, gay, mentally or physically handicapped. This is like an episode of TMZ, only with less paparazi and more forum posts.

Just fucking stop with this "retarded" bullshit. It's going nowhere fast.

Well I mean maybe if he wasn't so retarded he wouldn't have called him retarded.

[QUOTE=Seiteki;45626770]Just fucking stop with this "retarded" bullshit. It's going nowhere fast.[/QUOTE] The topic won't end until it's drowned out and silenced by the new Jontron episode coming out, by which then people will realize it's fruitless to keep reinforcing the point and give up. That's what I think will happen at least, and when it does I will be happy.

build a bridge and get over it

[QUOTE=Seiteki;45626770]Just fucking stop with this "retarded" bullshit. It's going nowhere fast.[/QUOTE] I don't see why not. I think it's annoying to go back and forth, yeah, but it's about JonTron, in a JonTron thread.

[QUOTE=Seiteki;45626770]Just fucking stop with this "retarded" bullshit. It's going nowhere fast.[/QUOTE] I mean the thread was started specifically because of the discussion going on in the Game Grumps thread. The controversy is even in the thread title.

The only reason to hate jontron at this point is because he didn't publicly apologize about hating on Metroid Prime Quite the nerve, you know?

People have their own views as do we, people who want to just start fights to be a jerk really there's nothing more to be said. I just stay of tumblr/twitter or what not and that stuff, but that's just me. [QUOTE=Ridley;45626959]The only reason to hate jontron at this point is because he didn't publicly apologize about hating on Metroid Prime Quite the nerve, you know?[/QUOTE] Their opinion an not mine or yours, that's like. You hate pizza? well get the hell outta here, only pizza pie lovers only. [B]Gosh[/B] Lets us stop trying to draw attention to ourselfs by showing his twitter or what not with stupid crap, this suppose to be giggles an funny ya'know?

[QUOTE=LegndNikko;45626449]Give me a source and I'll get right on that. I'm just saying that because last I remember, the 2nd bird he got is Spaghetti.[/QUOTE] I can't find a video but during the SGC he said that. The new bird is called Cinnamon.

Calzone you are literally forcing this argument, you are the only one who wants it to keep going and you are forcibly doing so by refusing to give it up. If you keep going eventually you're going to have everybody in the thread tell you to fuck off or get banned for shitposting.

The guy that made JonTron's sprites and shit is really good at it

Never missed one of his videos back in the day, I'm happy he started pumping out content frequently now.
