R.I.P. Jon "Jontron" Jafari, 1990 - 2017

[Marios]

I thought Jontron actually died but apparently it's just Poliwhirl having different political opinions than Jon. Not even a joke or something.

Screw you Poliwhirl.

the ones who react violently are the vocal minority, and always drown out the majority. the best way to deal with hate is to show love and handle it in a calm and peaceful manner, rather than yell back. however you react to it, it will still probably offend you but the way you convey your offense to someone else is what changes the situation.

overall you probably did the right thing and he reacted the right way by saying sorry, but there are some people out there that are at their wits' end and can't stay calm in those situations.

Sometimes the best way to defuse the bomb is to kill them with kindness. Like Muhammad Ali said "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee"

i don't see this parallel. p sure kimon demonizes people who use their power or influence as a pedestal for debatably harmful ideas and not just "people that disagree with them"

No he's also in favour of attacking people who disagree with him politically. Like actual physical assualt.

[Whackin]

my friend got dumped because he voted for Annoying Orange, which is a really richard move

if political opinions throw your friend off the edge he's either a neo-national socialist or you werent good friends in the first place

[Poliwhirl]

this is a really good way of putting it actually, the one thing i'd add on kimons case is that kimon will flame people for disagreing with him, while tony will just keep sledgehammering them with his point till they get fed up and leave the thread
different strokes for different folks

you have no right to be calling people out for "flaming" grimlock, and pretending you don't know what you did to make everyone here think you're a dumbass isn't helping your case, either

he could beat the stuff out of your moms boyfriend in a video for all i care, i still find his content funny and me fundamentally disagreeing with his views of the world does not make his content less enjoyable to me

well personally, beyond the fact that it completely sours the experience of viewing and makes viewing him positively damn near impossible, i wouldn't want to give ad revenue to somebody who demands that whites stay a majority of the population.

No he's also in favour of attacking people who disagree with him politically. Like actual physical assualt.

do you ever get tired of shamelessly fabricating / bastardizing entire arguments simply because you don't disagree with someone?

again, this is a case of people using their power or influence to spread around ideas that can absolutely be understood as incredibly harmful. i'm not going to speak for kimon because i know people aren't going to change their mind about him at this point, but he's not a forgetin nutjob lmao

[Gock.]

i don't see this parallel. p sure kimon demonizes people who use their power or influence as a pedestal for ((debatably)) harmful ideas and not just "people that disagree with them"

i think a good example of his belligerent behavior in arguments is when slayerz posted a picture of him and his girlfriend and said it was his phone background, which resulting in kimon trying to 1-man a witch hunt saying he was a stalker, creep, and loser; refused to stop even after slayer said it was his girlfriend and never apologized or admitted he was wrong. just saids "im done with you guys" basically.

he intentionally doesnt debate or address other points, he redirects arguments or calls names, and can't control himself. in my opinion that is a near direct parallel to tony, except that tony does it to rile people up and kimon gets angry about it

[RedGajin]

sometimes i wonder if some of these people even go outside. like 50% of my friends have opposing political views of mine, but i seriously do not care and it actually brings up good topics every once in a while. i dont get how you can just ditch someone as soon as they have different political views. imagine doing that in real life.

aight im not watching this whole interview, but the way im reading these quotes are making it sound likes hes saying jim crow laws werent bad and were beneficial to the US. i could be wrong tho, someone bring me up to speed.

point is, theres a big difference between my friends being republican and them thinking lynching mondays is ok

do you ever get tired of shamelessly fabricating / bastardizing entire arguments simply because you don't disagree with someone?

You clearly never become tired of demonizing people who have differing political opinions than yourself.

[PhantOS]

no i meant his girlfriend dumped him, which i thought was horrible

You clearly never become tired of demonizing people who have differing political opinions than yourself.

demonizing and disagreeing are two completely different things

[beachbum111111]

you have no right to be calling people out for "flaming" grimlock, and pretending you don't know what you did to make everyone here think you're a dumbass isn't helping your case, either

Haven't you been permad like 3 times now? Pretty sure Patton has never been permad for flaming

, i wouldn't want to give ad revenue to somebody who demands that whites stay a majority of the population.

Boo hoo move to Nigeria then. You do realize that jontron isn't even white don't you?

.do you ever get tired of shamelessly fabricating / bastardizing entire arguments simply because you don't disagree with someone?

Silly me I forgot that you don't consider people who disagree with you to be people.

[bloody jumper]

demonizing and disagreeing are two completely different things

He took some of ol' Jonny boy's quotes out of context if you listen to the entire interview. That and I'm pretty sure he's not entirely informed on the issue. I'd call that demonizing, but if you disagree that's alright, it's just my two cents.

[Poliwhirl]

i think a good example of his belligerent behavior in arguments is when slayerz posted a picture of him and his girlfriend and said it was his phone background, which resulting in kimon trying to 1-man a witch hunt saying he was a stalker, creep, and loser; refused to stop even after slayer said it was his girlfriend and never apologized or admitted he was wrong. just saids "im done with you guys" basically.

i apologized profusely, in the thread that you made, because slayerz jokingly said it was just some girl he liked and not his girlfriend, i mistakenly thought it was weird. we've been over this, though, and i was mistaken to think you would have enough respect to not only let events that have passed with apology lie, but apparently you're not even beyond intentionally forgoing the existence of the apology, jackass.

he intentionally doesnt debate or address other points, he redirects arguments or calls names, and can't control himself. in my opinion that is a near direct parallel to tony, except that tony does it to rile people up and kimon gets angry about it

do you actually have any proof of this, beyond when i jokingly dismiss tony or grimlock? or is this another instance of you actually misremembering an event in your head before posting about it?

Haven't you been permad like 3 times now? Pretty sure Patton has never been permad for flaming

i don't know why i even bother with you any more after all the stuff you've pulled, but once again i'd like to point out that i've been banned 3 times, only 2 were permanent, and none of them had anything to do with flaming.

[Whackin]

no i meant his girlfriend dumped him, which i thought was horrible

damn, yea thats a real stuff thing to do

[Tayasaurus]

Thinking Jontron hates black people is the best case of tunnel vision i've ever seen I think
