Did people say he was supposed to be?This is still guilty by association, no? I'm not seeing evidence of Roiland being a white supremacist.

That was an edit added after I read the initial post..You say you did all that but some how did not read the opening post of this topic?
And that Feb 15th tweet is him defending JonTron, I'm guessing?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.
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.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.
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.And that Feb 15th tweet is him defending JonTron, I'm guessing?

All you had to do was go to the Wikipedia link. It's right there when you Google Jontron.For people saying you can just Google Jontron and easily see he is a white Supremacist, I just did a Google search for Jontron on my phone and none of that showed until I expanded the search twice and even the article wasn't immediately clear in the title what exactly the problem was... And he is more popular than ever on YouTube so I could see them just wanting to get a popular gaming YouTuber for the commercial with only rudimentary research into who they are.
I bought the game on Steam but definiteltly won't play for more than 2 hours in case I want to do a refund after seeing how this story plays out.
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.This is still guilty by association, no? I'm not seeing evidence of Roiland being a white supremacist.
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.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.
YouTube is a piece of shit siteHow did Jontron's career survive after he showed his true colors anyway? He seems as popular as ever.
What are you trying to do here?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.
K bud I don't see your end goal but I can see you're at least committed to this strange bit.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.
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 youGood 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.
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.How did Jontron's career survive after he showed his true colors anyway? He seems as popular as ever.
You say this as if there is a limit for his like-minded fans.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

Definitely seems that way.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.
Not true.

They still think that way because people like you enable them. You're part of the problem.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.
Hey, it's not like he's spoken out against race mixing or anything. Wait, hold on... I have a phone call.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? Please explain.They still think that way because people like you enable them. You're part of the problem.
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.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.
He's part of the H3H3 inner circle. They all know each other and this is them tweeting after Jon got in trouble.
Aren't you jumping to conclusions a bit there?Who would have thought that Roiland was a Nazi all along... damn.
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".I haven't watched more than 5 minutes of Rick And Morty, but I'm not surprised in the slightest that someone who made that show would align themselves with someone like that.
I'm not going to defend anything Jontron has said in the past, but he has largely walked back what he's said and said he knows he doesn't believe the things he said in that debate with Destiny. He's a big time idiot but I think it's a little disingenuous to imply that he is legitimately a white supremacist.
