Justin Roiland has a Trover Saves the Universe commercial made starring... JonTron
- Thread starter Kyle Cross
- Start date
I haven't seen anyone claim he is either. Just that he's fine with not only being friends and defending one, but having them appear and co-write a commercial for his video game.
And that Feb 15th tweet is him defending JonTron, I'm guessing?
Jablinski games have a walkthrough of Trover Saves the Universe on his YouTube page, which I just saw while searching for all this stuff. This can't bode well for Jack Black based on what I'm seeing in this thread.
We should absolutely get Kotaku and the like on this. We know Roiland reads those sites, they could put some real pressure on him - to either back off or double down and dig a deeper hole.

I mean, we have nothing to confirm that Jack Black is aware of these issues, unlike Roiland who has tweets and podcasts. Jack Black also didn't directly work with JonTron, however his channel is subbed to PewDiePie which is a major problem in and of itself. But I believe Black's teenage son manages the channel, not Black himself.
The real issue to me here is that Youtube allows this crap in the first place. :/
There's no indication that Jack Black knows anything about any of this, while Justin Roiland clearly has knowledge of JonTron's views and still decided to work with him.
All you had to do was go to the Wikipedia link. It's right there when you Google Jontron.
How did Jontron's career survive after he showed his true colors anyway? He seems as popular as ever.
Jontron basically said the U.S. should be a white ethnostate. This guy, going by the Tweet posted, watched Jontron say that and decided it was an ok thing to state. Not really sure how else to interpret that.
Good point. Should we get a petition going to get Adult Swim to comment and/or even cancel the remaining seasons of Rick & Morty? I can't imagine they want to be associated with someone who associates with someone who is basically a nazi.
if we really want to make a difference get some media to cover it, and contact adult swim, time warner, and advertisers of cartoon network with info on jon tron from and his connection to justin.
YouTube is a piece of shit site
K bud I don't see your end goal but I can see you're at least committed to this strange bit.
yeah a petition is piontless, just contact media, adult swim, the parent company time warner, and advertisers of the network of who Jon from is and his associate with justin.
Just say someone being a white supremacist doesn't bother you
They've run in similar circles for a while now. I know Arin from GameGrumps has mentioned how he's friends with Roiland on multiple occasions. It's not at all surprising to hear that the racist shitbag JonTron is also, at the very least, well acquainted with Roiland.
And no, I'm not trying to lump Arin in with this, and certainly not saying he supports his former partner's views. I was merely pointing out how they're all in similar circles within the larger scope of YouTube.

A lot of people don't really care about white supremacy, whether because they're disinterested in everything outside internet memery, because they agree with it, or because it's to their benefit anyway so they don't have to care.
It amazes me that JonTron can have a twitter account going years where it's clear he is an honest to goodness white supremacist, has done an interview on Breitbart, continues to like and engage with white supremacists on twitter and has a two hour long video where he does nothing but hit every white supremacist talking point and there are still people who try and argue he isn't a white supremacist.
WHAT MORE DOES HE HAVE TO DO
WHAT MORE DOES HE HAVE TO DO
lol
You know if you don't care, you don't have to post here, right? This bit is lame af.
It amazes me that a guy with the name Aryan. Jafari. is somehow white supremist, lmaao what a woorld and a damn shame the dude is still spouting racist garbage.
Not true.
I am genuinely shocked every time I hear about a new white rally or supremacist speak out. It's batshit insane that there are people who still think this way. Especially recently finding out there is a group in my small City of 90k. It's disgusting.
They only cancelled Million Dollar Extreme (Painfully unfunny sketch comedy show by actual Neo-Nazis who didn't try to hide it) due to intense pressure; Mike Lazzo even defended the show until things got too hot.
They still think that way because people like you enable them. You're part of the problem.
Hey, it's not like he's spoken out against race mixing or anything. Wait, hold on... I have a phone call.
Hello?
What do you mean he spoke out against race mixing? For real? Isn't this dude like, a second generation immigrant?
He said the most well off black man is more violent than than poor whites? What the fuck? Is he in the KKK or something? People still watch this chode?
To start with, you can read this:
It may also help if you familiarize yourself with this:
Yeah, this is a pretty bad look. I'm nowhere near Roiland's level, but I work in media -- sometimes nerdy media -- and it's to the point where if I'm contacted by any nerd-culture-related outlet that I'm unfamiliar with, I have to do a "but are they nazis?" check before I even get back to them. It sucks that that's the case, but it's something you gotta do if you're remotely aware of the sociopolitical climate in America these days; I understand that we're dealing with weird sub-cultural overlap here, but it's getting harder to take the "how could he have known?" excuse seriously anymore.
For what it's worth, Arin has done a lot of growing. And at some point shortly after Jon completely outed himself, the current Grumps were doing a live show where someone asked them if they were going to have Jon in an episode as a guest and they downright said that after everything that has come to light that they aren't ever bringing him back for anything.
Fucking JonTron, good lord.
It's also such a damn shame to see what became of h3h3 over the past couple of years. I loved watching his low budget reaction videos in like 2014 or 2015 or something.
Welp, time to remove this game from my wishlist then.
Why is jontron still a thing, What more can we do to deplatform him?

It's somewhat surprising because Roiland is apparently very irritated that the alt right and incels worship Rick and Morty to the point that later episodes almost directly try to contradict them. Which makes you wonder how JonTron is part of his "inner circle".
Could be Harmon's influence I guess.
Does he know he doesn't believe those things? Did he start advocating for the rights of people in the border? Against Trump administration treatment of that people? Did he supported AOC or other new predominant Democratic people that fights for inmigrante rights? Did he openly criticize Alt-right members?
