JonTron Megathread: The Most Retarded Thread on Facepunch - General

[QUOTE=jonu67;45814932]Who'd he call retarded?[/QUOTE] Someone who told him not to call his PS4 retarded.

[QUOTE=Durrsly;45814955]Someone who told him not to call his PS4 retarded.[/QUOTE] That's fucking stupid, poor JonTron doesn't deserve this shit over something as small as that, this fucking world man. :suicide:

[QUOTE=Dick Slamfist;45813730]-+ borderlands had cringey writing a generic plot with reddit memes and really hamfisted social justice slammed in there and people really really responded to it, caus that's the market . the quest in the DLC about "fake nerd guys" is the most painful writing I've seen ina long time, I wholeheartedly expect people disagreebombing me here[/QUOTE] Weird I genuinely thoughr Borderlands 2 was well written I thought it was hilarious and I loved that it didn't take itself to seriously. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.

[QUOTE=Dick Slamfist;45807108][img]http://i.imgur.com/NqBZpSA.png[/img] Jon can't stop firin' shots[/QUOTE] sweet, so [url=http://daisura.tumblr.com/post/95897490987]the thing[/url] I posted about last night was on point? I've been seeing a whole lot of the usual blind anger and shit that didn't add up lately, this was the only post that actually explained why anybody was being pissy [editline]e[/editline] "Hey look, Jon made a mistake on the internet!"

Look brosephs, jontron didn't say what he was trying to say properly its time to knock this kid down a notch hyuk hyuk

There's nothing wrong with wanting better writing and characters in gaming but being demanding and actively going out to accuse devs of misogyny is pretty ridiculous. Like TotalBiscuit said in the stream yesterday, doing this kind of shit isn't a way to bring about change. Once you make someone go on the defense when it comes to their character, you've ticked them off and the discussion may as well just end there.

This whole thing is some of the dumbest drama I've seen in a long time. Oh well, at least Jon's coming out of it with a hell of a lot of attention.

i think jontron makes very good videos and seems like a cool guy to hang out with so i don't think people should be mean to him regardless of if they disagree with his opinions that don't really affect anything or not that's my opinion

he's a smart guy who makes extremely sharp points through solid humor at every turn. A lot of people who don't even realize he's involved in gaming media are hopping on the bandwagon to attack what they think is a men's rights activist talking about how men are objectified harder or something

Like I said in the other thread, jon says nigger like 10 times and everyone thinks its hilarious. Jon basically copies the retard joke from Rick and Morty and its an national travesty for SJWs.

This applies to both sides of the recent internet debacles.

[QUOTE=Magikoopa24;45814843]Jon's an idiot for letting it all start in the first place. I'm not saying he shouldn't have and argue his opinions, but because he has people are arguing with him when he makes a point about these issues.[/QUOTE] So you're not saying he shouldn't have or argue his opinions, but he shouldn't have or argue his opinions? That's bullshit.

[QUOTE=Crimor;45815973]Based dai saving us from the world of rusty/max/craptasket :v:[/QUOTE] but rusty's making the same point I am? [QUOTE=Rusty100;45812505]jons on point as usual, both sexes are portrayed as extremes and neither is better or worse than the other.[/QUOTE] Beyond the feminism schtick about reinforcing extreme gender roles, archetypes like that are flat-out an awful way to build meaningful characters, but because they sell well (mainly because it's what's being sold most) a lot of writers keeps chugging out the gaming equivalent of michael bay movies

[QUOTE=Durrsly;45814955]Someone who told him not to call his PS4 retarded.[/QUOTE] His PS4 cried for days ;_;

[QUOTE=Dick Slamfist;45813540][img]http://i.imgur.com/DVR6cEq.jpg[/img] The still employed writer of Borderlands 2. :I[/QUOTE] Well...leave it for this situation to reveal the asshole in people.

[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;45816546]Well...leave it for this situation to reveal the asshole in people.[/QUOTE] But we already knew Anthony Burch was a huge asshole already. This is like this umpteenth time he's pulled something like this.

[QUOTE=BanthaFodder;45816711]But we already knew Anthony Burch was a huge asshole already. This is like this umpteenth time he's pulled something like this.[/QUOTE] I think phil fish would be a great addition to the conversation especially since he quit twitter and games forever again

[QUOTE=dai;45816759]I think phil fish would be a great addition to the conversation especially since he quit twitter and games forever again[/QUOTE] Still cant believe he quit fez 2 over some random complaints. What a moron.

I need to stop reading these threads, I don't want to know about celeb's controversial opinions I just want them to make me laugh or enjoy a game :(

[QUOTE=Dick Slamfist;45813540][img]http://i.imgur.com/DVR6cEq.jpg[/img] The still employed writer of Borderlands 2. :I[/QUOTE] He has good comedic timing in HAWP. That's really his only redeeming quality. Ashly is a much better person in general.

[QUOTE=Hogie bear;45816820]Still cant believe he quit fez 2 over some random complaints. What a moron.[/QUOTE] you should look into the past week or two of fish history, tl;dr he allegedly "got hacked", doxed, and destroyed everything... but still had access to his twitter where he grandstanded about it

I remember hearing something on the TwoBestFriendscast a while ago where they sat their girlfriends down to watch Indie Game: The Movie, and basically said "now watch carefully, one of these indie devs is insane. Try to guess which one". [sp]They all guessed Phil Fish.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Hogie bear;45816820]Still cant believe he quit fez 2 over some random complaints. What a moron.[/QUOTE] Well he did tell Marcus beer to kill himself over twitter. People didn't like that very much.

[QUOTE=dai;45816297]but rusty's making the same point I am?[/QUOTE] It's more that rusty seems to hate everything, just in this instance we agree with him. Don't think I've seen posts from him in a good while that hasn't been going into a thread and shitting all over it.

[QUOTE=dai;45816759]I think phil fish would be a great addition to the conversation especially since he quit twitter and games forever again[/QUOTE] You know you're in a toxic-as-fuck debate when adding Phil Fish to the fray wouldn't make it any more vile and reactionary than it already is.

[quote=Wikipedia]Drake's physical attractiveness has been another area of commentary, with at least one reviewer declaring a man crush for him.[52] Drake has been described as "dreamy",[53] and a "handsome, charismatic hero."[16] Claudia Black, voice of Chloe Frazer from Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, admitted having a crush on Drake as well.[54] Drake has been cited as an example of a male character who, while attractive, is not over-masculine.[/quote] I mean, we just got to that point for male characters in gaming.

What's even the point in bothering with putting yourself out as a tolerant egalitarian when you call people pieces of shit who you "sincerely hope" die alone? Anyway [QUOTE=Dick Slamfist;45813540] The still employed writer of Borderlands 2. :I[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Ganerumo;45813545]That's the guy who wrote borderlands 2, by the way.[/QUOTE] yes we get it you don't like borderlands 2.

tumblr sjws have a trend of calling everyone who disagrees with them a, ahem 'shitbaby' and always refer to 'male tears lol cry moar' when theyre the ones bawling their eyes out. i wish there wasnt any drama i just want things 2 be happy

I think everyone, of the internet and the world needs to have a snickers and a bong rip of the strongest weed.
