Remove JonTron

[Eve]

I have been very impressed by just how progressive the game has been with the DLC's released. Between including the trans flag and introducing Bow Girl, the game has become much more inclusive and commendable. This is why I have to wonder why JonTron is still in the game. Are we expected to forget about the things he said and never apologize for? Hate should not be given a platform.

I bet this thread is bait... Nobody should care about what JonTron said. If it's so inclusive then the game needs to allow everything. (Stupid logic but at the same time nobody is ever happy about anything). I might have my own opinions about lot of things but right now I find this thread stupid.

How to be inclsuive 101:
step 1: Exclude x ?


(Really all this political talk here is annoying me, neither a deko background flag nor JonTrons lines are a problem, could we just get back to enjoying a cute platformer?)

Promoting hatefully ideologies that have literally lead to mass genocide is not the same thing as inclusivity.

They are not promoted in the game, do developers have to remove graphics or soundtracks as well if it turns out a year later that one of the graphic or sound designer was a bad guy?

He may say controversial opinions but that bears no relevance to this game.
If people can separate his webshow from him and his racist opinions, I'm sure you can separate the NPC voice from him and move on.

Letting Jontron do voice work in your game is not the same as supporting/promoting any hateful ideologies.

I commend Gears For Breakfast for not buckling to public pressure and cowering away by removing his voicelines.

Besides, even with what he supposedly said, who freaking cares in 2019? We all have opinions that some people don't like, just let people exist. The whole "I'm offended about this, please remove" is dumb and yeah, just don't... Jontron didn't commit any crimes. Time to move on...!

Except the game does not at all promote such ideas. You just don't like JonTron and that's okay.

Pretty much this. "I don't like this guy and his opinions therefore we should ban him". Um no?

we should also remove the Mafia, they're offensive to Italians. Also remove Moustache Girl because she runs a nightmarish totalitarian dictatorship and that's offensive to peoples who suffered under totalitarian dictatorships like that of Joseph Stalin. Conductor is offensive to Scots, DJ Grooves is offensive to black people, Snatcher is offensive to dead people, We should just remove everyone and have Hat Kid running around an empty void.

Look I don't really care about one of the VAs being a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, but this is just not true. There is absolutely no good reason to allow neonazis and the like to run wild. We've seen where that goes, and I refuse to let us go there again.

Sarcasm taken way too seriously.png. This is why I love the internet. Posts like this one.

This comment right here. This damn comment right here.
Majority of people need to use their heads properly like Delta-118.

If you're entitled to make noise about a normal human with an unpopular-factual and controversial opinion like Jontron being in the game (which I remind you that his opinion has nothing to do with the game.)

Then you're entitled to not support the game at all if you're going to let your big fat ego get in the way of enjoying a cute adorable game that has nothing to do with any of the World's IRL BS.

If it bothers you so much then you can just stop playing the game entirely and not support + bother the devs or the community who just wants to enjoy the damn game.
