I never understood why he would say that to begin with. It's not like his brand of comedy was ever particularly edgy. Obviously the "people are too sensitive these days" thing is stupid, but it felt extra strange coming from him.

I didn't say anything about communists. I said I missed being able to interact with people who shared my hobbies. I just want to ~~grill~~ talk about cartoons and video games.

Also, I was sold on Lemmy because they told me it was an user owned alternative to reddit, which was going tits up at the time. "It's a communist website." Is not what they told me to get me over here.

Absolutely. There's just fuck all to do here. I used reddit for fan communities a lot, and most of them stayed behind. (Unless you're a trekkie I guess. Then you're set.)

But in the end it has to be this way

comparing their shitiness with Blizzard's is like comparing apples to oranges.

That's... what I said.

My point is supposed to be that Lemmy acts as a though they're the devil, when in reality they're just the regular amount of corporate shitty. All of what you said is true, and I'm not trying to convince you it isn't. It just feels surreal how every comment in here is the same, like it's the same person behind every username. I get no sense of individuality here, ya know ?

I thought the leaker saw those and decided to not reveal too many details other than they exist? There's a sentence about it in the article.

I swear to god, the Lemmy hive mind is even more intense than their predecessor.

It's beta builds of old games. It's only valuable to super fans who wanted to see what could have been.

Shortly before the flex tape video, he announced he was going to appear in a debate with another Youtuber named Destiny. In this debate, he claimed that "Rich blacks commit more crimes than even the poorest of whites" (direct quote, I shit you not), and that Donald Trump had never said anything racist. It was completely out of left field and shocked pretty much everyone.

My theory is kind of a joke, but I seriously have trouble believing that these are the same person. It was so sudden and so random that I want to believe that there is some other explanation as to why it did. Up until this point, Jontron had stayed fairly apolitical. On the very rare occasion he'd share an opinion on Game Grumps, it would be the most milquetoast moderate thing you've ever heard. To jump from that to retweeting actual Nazis for praising him for saying what they believe feels completely insane. It's easier to accept that there is some sort of sussy imposter imitating him than to believe this just happened.

Turning the serious off for a second, I think that if anyone knows the truth, it would have to be Arin. I don't think Danny was involved. He might just be blissfully ignorant.

You know how some people believe Paul McCartney is dead and was replaced with a body double? I think that happened to Jontron at some point before the incident.
