--- Quote from: IkeTheGeneric on March 13, 2017, 05:19:30 PM ---Also WTF was Jontron thinking? Politik wounds run deep on the internet recently. It's a way better idea to keep your political opinions separate from your video-game & internet culture comedy show, otherwise everyone that's into your content now have to deal with that extra political layer that's going to be something in the back of everyone's mind when watching your content. --- End quote --- yea honestly we're to a point where american politics are so absurd that if you are a public figure of any kind you're going to get slammed for having a political opinion, and there's a lot wrong with that. |

He isn't getting anything by showing up and letting le master debaters run circles around him verbally because he's not use to or particularly good at doing debates like this, he's just hurting his career. The same result would have happened if he and Destiny debated on a non-partisan issue even. |

Destiny is the kind of "debater" who tries to yell louder then you and accuse you of stuff before you can even get a word in. |

Usage of the word 'SJW' in a defensive context is almost directly proportional to how-forgeted-up the thing you're defending is. Jontron is tacitly implying that blacks are inherently more violent than whites, that colonialism is a good thing, and that discrimination no longer exists in modern society. These statements are forgeted up from a completely moderate perspective. Criticizing these positions does not make you a SJW. --- Quote from: patton360 on March 13, 2017, 05:44:34 PM ---yea honestly we're to a point where american politics are so absurd that if you are a public figure of any kind you're going to get slammed for having a political opinion, and there's a lot wrong with that. --- End quote --- I don't think he's getting slammed specifically because of politics. Some of the stuff he's said here reflects poorly on himself as a person, not just his political beliefs. |
