Yep it's pretty fucking bad
I didn't even know that. I am a casual viewer of JonTron for many years. Has he made some sketchy videos or tweets?
Back in 2017, he went onto Destiny's stream and rattled off a bunch of racist statistics.
*Before the debate he was apparently on some right-wing podcast saying shit about immigrants.
Oh, and he called america a Banana Republic in response to Trump losing.
Afaik at this point he's learned to shut the fuck up and stay in his lane.
He made Destiny looked like a socialist to put into perspective how much of an unhinged fascist he is.
Anything more recently? And anything that is him going full Nazi?
Saying racist bullshit is bad and I think I won't watch him anymore then but "going full Nazi" is a bit more serious I believe.
He had choice comments about commulists [sic] ruining America and immigrants polluting the gene pool, which reads pretty fucking nazi to me.
Oh wow didn't know it was this bad. Is that from the 2017 stream or more recent? Either way he is a pos and I won't watch him ever again.
Those are old comments - as another poster said, he's kept his head down but hasn't apologized or shown he's grown past it. I'm not convinced, especially seeing how he's had some hot anti-vax takes since the pandemic started
Yeah. Seems like he 100% still believes this shit but just keeps it to himself. Man this is depressing. Is there any funny gaming YouTuber that isn't a giant pos?
JonTron -> no, as we just established
Game Grumps -> kinda racist and Danny seems to be at best a creep and at worst a rapist
OneyPlays -> if offensive=funny was a channel
PewDiePie -> if he isn't a right winger he is at least very careless with his "jokes"
Northernlion seems like a cool dude. He's the one I watch most.
adding to my comment without ruining the bit
I think a lot of the Let's Play people from Something Awful still make good video game YouTube content and aren't awful people: ChipCheezum, General Ironicus, Slowbeef (the video LP OG), Tie Tuesday, and Voidburger are a few I remember.
Haven't really been into that stuff in 10 years or so, so excuse me if someone has milkshake ducked.
Shoutout to Retro Pals for being cool and gay if you like lets plays of obscure retro games and gay rats
I checked this out and it did not disappoint lol
VoidBurger is incredibly good. Her Silent Hill LPs are some of the finest that exist and it's clear that she's very passionate about those games. Her Silent Hill 2 LP even has a guest appearance by Jeremy Blaustein, who was the voice and motion capture director
Absolutely, her Silent Hill videos are fantastic. I saw that she recently got engaged to ChipCheezum, which is incredibly cute.
Lul
Mega64 and Rocco Botte keep winning (oh god I hope nobody proves me wrong about this).
Kinda pre-youtube and then youtube, dunno if it counts.
Don’t personally watch them but a few friends of mine swear by the Real Time Fan Dub people & associated channels - I like Lythero but it’s a lot of fgc stuff so it might not be everybody’s bag. Jerma is still good but fuckin impenetrable lol.
There’s plenty of good stuff out there but yea a lot of that 2000s-2010s gaming youtube circle turned out to be trash sadly
the best gaming channel on YouTube was SirRonLionHeart and he's retired (but seems like he's doing well) also he dropped his character in his newer stuff
oh what the-
there are some pretty wholesome minecraft youtubers but idk of any good gaming channels that aren't focused on one game.. maybe some twitch streamers who upload to youtube?
I said this on another comment but I will not stop shilling for Retro Pals if people like good wholesome lets plays of random retro games
Ohhhhh c'mon, Oneys grown up, now he's moved onto just complaining
To my knowledge he hasn't posted ~~any explicitly wehraboo shit~~ a swastika yet.
Other than never really apologizing for those statements during the debate, he's been keeping his head down.
