JonTron Megathread: The Most Retarded Thread on Facepunch - General

[QUOTE=Doom14;45822580]If you ever want comedy, go browse the romance novel section of a book store.[/QUOTE] Hell even in games, I hate the "WAAAAAAAGH MANLY BASH FACE AGAINST PROBLEMS HURRRR DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA" thing pretty much every single fps and non editable rpg character is, it's idiotic. I prefer to deal with problems before they know I'm there, like any smart fucking person would if they had the opportunity. A good comparison would be that all those meatheads are the supermen, the rambos, the thors, the hulks, while I'm more like a loki.

I almost forgot I was in the Jontron thread

[QUOTE=booster;45824528]Swear to god, this shit would've never happened 5 years ago.[/QUOTE] No it's better though because we're raising awareness and we're totally a just cause guys, agree with us please you pigs.

If both sides listened to each other with more open minds, things wouldn't go haywire so fast. Pretty sure they have good arguments that could help the situation. Sadly, they decide to shoot first without ear protection in an air duct as narrow has their minds. They are as deaf as rocks.

I like how this thread stayed on-topic for about 4 posts then the fifth post swung it into a shitstorm and drama that only got worse and worse. :v:

I am feeling for Jontron, I agree with him but he isn't defending himself very well with all the hate going towards him right now.

[QUOTE=codemaster85;45822554]I like how everyone points only to women as being objectified. if you've noticed its society as a whole that's a problem and not just videogames. Seriously pick up a magazine and all you see is the "ideal image" for both men and women. Self-esteem has been an all time low for teens/young adults coming out of highschool/college due to the media slamming in whats perfect and that you are disgusting. Seriously the only protagonist I can think of at the top of my head that isn't like that is the protagonists in silent hill 1-4 and Siren blood curse's characters. And the only reason why is because it doesn't want you to be a hero and more of an survivor. No one wants to take any kind of risks with character development of a zero becoming a hero unless its horror.[/QUOTE] I posted it in another thread, but the first male character to not show being sexually attractive via his body in videogames has been Nathan Drake. The only one of recent memory to be commented on being attractive in general. There's an arguement that yes, msucles are power fantasy, but if you look at a large portions of games where choice and being able to decide the outcome of said games is important, more often then not you either have a Nathan Drake/Cole McGraph type character physicality and not a bulging muscle man or you get get to create your own character. Any game with the bulging muscles is either a parody(a la Duke Nukem) or you're stuck in this fucking horrific fuck fest at the extinction of Humanity (a la Gears of War). The Male Power Fantasy trope doesn't hold as much as water as people keep trying to make it hold. There's also the fact that you cannot apply power fantasy tropes to everything and in doing so you run the risk of actually generalizing and having your argument fail miserably.

I mean if you think about it, all videogames where you do shit that you could never do in real life are power fantasies So I wonder when Jon's next vid is coming out

[QUOTE=Helix Snake;45827039]Adult Link from OOT doesn't exist?[/QUOTE] Commentators speak of Link in more of being one of the purest examples of the classical hero in literature rather than about him being sexual. He represents and functions as a different example to be celebrated. In the Uncharted games, there's a mature theme going along side of it about sexual relationships. Especially between the two love(former espcially by the third) interests of Chloe Frazer and Elena Fisher.

Guys guys guys, important message from Jon: [url]https://vine.co/v/Ml0hirrZeTV[/url] [sp]What the fuck is going on on the internet right now, When I started using it for "real", there was absolutely no drama of this size, i'm sad now :c People are dick for the sake of being dicks, I dunno[/sp]

Adam Sessler? I thought he was a cool guy? Don't tell me the most awesome guy from Xplay shat on Jon?

[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;45829369]Adam Sessler? I thought he was a cool guy? Don't tell me the most awesome guy from Xplay shat on Jon?[/QUOTE] same, I haven't heard a thing from him in all this

[QUOTE=Schmaaa;45829439]same, I haven't heard a thing from him in all this[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/vR4IT8T.png[/IMG]

He hasn't said anything to Jon, but he has been supporting Zoe on Twitter and stuff I believe.

Eh, he probably got swept up because Adam in his later years in game reviewing did get a wee bit pretentious on certain subjects [sp]Gone Home[/sp]. But I don't think he would stoop that low as to shit on a popular youtuber. Also I love Jon so fucking much right now, he can not only take punishment from these tumblrites, but can dish it right back into their stupid gaping maws.

[QUOTE=Destroyox;45829110][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/UWqd6fi.png[/IMG] I thought you would appreciate this[/QUOTE] I'd really rather Jontron's backup not be guy who's twitter looks like the Fox Nation comment section.

[QUOTE=Mingebox;45829571]I'd really rather Jontron's backup not be guy who's twitter looks like the Fox Nation comment section.[/QUOTE] Well just like Adam is in the pic, I assume it's just what the original creator of the image went with. So ah well.

Plus its fucking [B]Animal Mother and Jontron[/B] killing demons, that shit's awesome

Also that's a great article (might as well call twitlongers that at this point)

Well it's not quite a twitlonger, more like a lengthy blogpost by this point. But the points still stand.

I am really tired of hearing about these misogyny arguments. The only thing I saw worth talking about was someone trying to say JonTron was not funny anyway because he relies on the comedy inherent in the games he plays. [video=youtube;Z6EuqfanwAM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6EuqfanwAM[/video] ummmmm [editline]28th August 2014[/editline] He's a comedy genius no matter his opinions on anything else

the main reason I watch Jontron is because he has a likeable personality, doesn't do that "snarky intelligent game player" personality thing some people do. Plus it's not really game reviews, it's more just finding the weirdest shit to cross the world of entertainment and occasionally poke fun at game devs (WHAT THE FUCK IS A SONIC).
