Playtonic - Apologize for your Steam behavior

[Kraashnak]

I support JonTron's right to make a fool of himself in a non-professional manner and not receive any blowback, but I would still have supported the game if you removed him AND didn't act like children here on Steam. You could easily replace his voice acting in the retail game, then release his voice acting for an unofficial mod as a way of placating Jon supporters. You still have to apologize though. Your feet must hurt from being shot so much. Hand over your guns and your badges.

They should have just avoided the entire thing.

"OMG JONTRON IZ TEH NOTSEE!"

"Our voice actors don't represent Playtonic Games."

And just stop, right there. Say nothing else on the subject. That's all they had to do. Not remove him from the game, not act like idiots and insult their customers. It would've been so easy.

"Our voice actors don't represent Platonic Games."
That's all they had to do, either ignore it or just give the statment that the company does not support his opinions. That's how you remain apolitical which is what a company should be.

Nope. Jon's a racist and must suffer for it.

It's such an odd way to behave. "IF YOU VOICE ACT IN OUR GAME YOU MUST NOW AND FOREVER ONLY EXPRESS OPINIONS WE LIKE OR WE'LL REMOVE YOU FROM THE GAME"

Is that the way it is? Honestly? That's absolutely insane.

But things just aren't easy when Neogaf gets involved does it?

Only if companies are stupid enough to listen to them.

[koinzell]

even if they decided to remove him
they couldv just said that he broke some term of service and was let go
and left it at that

instead of being anti free speach>pushing for divirsaty propeganda piece to appeal to the sensitive snowflakes

Not everything has to be a safe space?!!

"that's exactly it, it's only white nations that aren't allowed to protect their culture".

Because if you are anything but white, you AREN'T an American or part of American culture.

First of all JonTron is not white, he's Iranian, one of the most so called oppressed races. Second of all protecting culture is not racist. How would you like it if Japanese culture was wiped off the face of the earth? No more Samurai, anime, Jpop... culture must be protected regardless of race. Need I also remind you again that JONTRON IS NOT ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ WHITE

He's an Iranian who thinks "America" is only for whites. That's no only racist but bloody stupid. You haven't voided my point.

As for "culture" being protected, again, American culture is more than white people. Japanese at least have a DNA heritage but America? We're all mongrels in one way or another. Just ask the guy who's half Italian and half Irish.

[Adrestia]

People like Jonno refuse to believe anything but wholesale importing the worst of Islam is tolerance, so of course they think Jontron is a racist. Jon said nothing that is controversial to anyone who pays attention to what has been happening in Europe.

And when pointed out that their idiocy is against freedom of speech, they completely miss the point and say "HURR HURR HURR FURST AMENDMENT IS ONLY FOR THE GUVMINT DURR".

He never said America is only for the whites, he himself is not-white so your argument based on speculation already makes no sense, just because you don't want mass immigration doesn't make you anti-immigrant.
Japanese people have DNA heritage because they actually protected their culture. How many black cowboys and cattle ranchers do you see? That because African-Americans have a different culture to White-Americans. I'm Turkish but I participate in Australian culture because an immigrant is supposed to integrate and that's Jon's argument you have to assimilate to the culture of your country or you should be denied entry.

And backwards quoting, how'd you mess that up?

Likewise, the fact that you aren't American only tells me you no nothing of us and our culture. Explains why you think Blacks have a special un-American culture. Or that America totally hasn't assimilated traditions from other cultures. We just had St. patrick's day which is Irish yet we strangely celebrate it. We also go to Taco Bell even though that's clearly Mexican. Oh here's a good one, I'm watching Anime even though it was made somewhere else and has NOTHING to do with American culture.

The simple truth is Jon doesn't want the immigration because it ain't coming from a country full of White people. If it was, he'd be totally fine (cause that wouldn't mess with the white majority demographic).

Just to be clear, stating that "African-Americans have a different (non-American) culture to White-Americans" is racist.

He never ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ said that, did he? He's well aware that there are non-white people in America that were raised in or have adopted the American culture. Is a strawman all that you can defeat?

America can't be a "White Nation" if the non-whites are considered American.

Are you seriously trying to argue black-Americans have the same culture as white-Americans? They have different clothes, music, dances and even now they're celebrating their own Christmas (Kwanzaa). Sure you might get a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ that listens to rap music and wears baggy pants here and there but all and all there is a fine line between the two cultures. And racism is about biological differences and racial superiority, culture is completely different, JonTron has never brought up genetics. And oh, because I'm not American, I can't understand their culture, seems to me like you might be the racist one.
