Like damn, it was only 10 years ago and they’re doing racist accents for like every type of asian you can think of.

      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.

          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.

              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.

                  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

                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.
