Social NintenZone Social 5 - Thanks, Everyone

Wow, at this point I wish I wasn't an infant or not being born yet when those Rare games were around. I might give Yooka-Laylee a shot at some point, and hopefully I might get some of the feelings of the Rare games from it.

Also, that rap though. It's so bad, and at the same time so good.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Holy ****
RabbidLuigi AND ProJared fired shots at JonTron today. He's quickly become a stupidly easy punching bag. ****, that's great

 

[Wario Bros.]

Why are my cable provider descriptions of Samurai Jack (season 5) still crediting Mako despite his passing?

Wtf is a rabbidluigi

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Its Luigi that went rabbid after his year was over

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

While Blinky should be smacked for making that mistake, Chocobo definitely was seen to have more interest out of the others. Though the Red Mage was kind of close.

Next begins the one title that not only introduced said giant chicken birds, but also have known characters. Your Final Fantasy II choices are Firion, Guy, Maria, and Leon (Yes, the Dark Knight).

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Not at all.

Oh.
Well, atleast I have still my muscles.

It'd be cool to have an open world pokemon game where you can go to any town and beat the gym leaders in any order.

you say this as if Jon doesn't 100% deserve it

[Cutie Gwen]

I remember heatstreet tweeting their article about him being kicked from YL with "Hasn't he been punished enough?" Literally everyone replied "lol no", "What othertimes did he get punished?" and "He got his sub count back up"

I don't think anyone deserves to be a punching bag.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

even if he was being stupid, no one deserves to be a punching bag. You all are just being so spiteful

 

[Schnee117]

He was being ignorantly racist.
"Stupid" is a gross understatement.

xD I think this may be a pretty old meme, but it is the first April Fools joke that Smashboards has done to actually make me laugh! Unlike Smashboards 2001 or how I called it "Eyesoreboards"

Also...can I say that the gif in your signature is the most terrifying thing I have ever seen? O-O

Well, it's certainly isn't a sight to behold. So yeah, you can say it's terrifying.

All premiums having the same avy makes it hard to keep track of who's who.

I keep going "I don't remember posting this "

I'm not gonna get into a discussion about what Jon does or doesn't deserve.

But seriously...this whole "WE GOT MAKE SURE HE ENDURES X TIME OF PUNISHMENT" mentality is literally the exact reason why the SJW stigma exists and why nobody takes most equality activists seriously these days. This whole outrage culture and chasing people around with pitch-forks even after the main controversial event is said and done is why more legitimate pursuits towards equality get ignored and laughed at. Because a lot of the people claiming to be part of a movement are the same kind of loud and ignorant idiots who are now harassing (yes, that's what it is by dictionary definition, don't try to get around that) JonTron.

If you disagree with or were offended by Jon's statements, that's cool. You can unsubscribe from his channel if you were subscribed and ignore any activity from him. Even boycott A Hat in Time if you want.

But encouraging or participating in this witch hunting of an individual even after they've stopped engaging in controversial topics, is just being absurdly childish.

You're not a court judge of the law, so you have no place sentencing "punishment" on someone.

I wasn't encouraging anything. I found it hilarious how easy it's been to mock him after he ruined his reputation. Like Mel Gibson or something. And sure. Laughing at how someone became a punching bag is harassment

Your post says nothing about laughing.

I remember heatstreet tweeting their article about him being kicked from YL with "Hasn't he been punished enough?" Literally everyone replied "lol no", "What othertimes did he get punished?" and "He got his sub count back up"

All you did was state that people were OK with rallying this witch hunt against him in response to someone who said they were OK with it too, as if to suggest you too support the notion.

I'm not saying YOU'RE harassing him specifically - that's the media and other big YouTubers who are capitalising on the situation for them page views and YouTube $$$ - but I think encouraging and supporting that kind of behaviour and thinking it's "just" is not a whole lot better.

OOOOOOH you meant THAT post. I was talking about the one in which I mentioned he got mocked. The post you meant was moreso meant to mock that stupid site at white knighting claiming Jon had already 'punished' too much. And all reactions I mentioned were facts, he got back all his lost subscribers and was unaffected as such so he didn't get any problems anymore

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I'm not going to comment on SJWs or anything.

But point is, it's over. We have to forgive and forget.

Because it's gotten to the point to where it's not helping anyone.

It's just laughing at someone else's expense.

It's not magically okay cause "he's an asshole."

I've been burned by quite a few people because I 'forgave and forgot'. Sorry if I'm not going to do that, especially if the person never apologized but made excuses

If you don't forgive and forget, then why should people forgive you?

I'm not saying to literally forget what John said, but constantly beating him up over it doesn't help anyone.

It depends on the situation. I forgave the guy who broke my finger last year because it was a genuine accident, he was genuinely shocked and asked if I was okay. If it was intentional or there are no signs of regret, I'm not forgiving

Jon did apologise. Quite sincerely too. He even flat out admitted a lot of what he said in the initial debate was wrong and not what he actually thinks, and that he couldn't word things right because he was flustered (which is understandable given the nutcase he was up against).

Honestly he's the only one in this whole mess who's shown any humility, IMO. From his unlisted video to the way he handled being booted from Yooka-Laylee, he's the only one who seems intent in fixing the mess to at least some extent. Everyone else has just proceeded to name call.

awesome. got every achievement in the 8-bit bayo game.

Wbich rrlly should be called 16bit at the very least

How do you know Jon doesn't regret saying that?

 

[Aurane]

Jon did apologize. Jon was punished. And we all lived to tell the tale.

There's enough grudge in this world. At least spare it from someone who's tried to clean up his mess.

 

[Opossum]

/r/place had it going really well with the Lyn and Eliwood sprites.

Now Eliwood's sword has been elongated and is stabbing Squirtle.

Spoiler: Art

Lol poor Squirtle.

The way he handled Yooka Laylee was amazing, but spouting out stuff like that can't be ignored over "Oh, I was flustered". He KNEW who he was debating with and "didn't fully prepare and got flustered". He also claimed it was taken out of context, right? How does one take "Oppression doesn't exist", "Wealthy blacks commit more crimes than poor whites, look it up" and more out of context? It also fits with his record in ****ty behaviour.

How do you know Jon doesn't regret saying that?

HOW was he punished then? Because he got the lost sub count back

Imagine if this wasn't Jontron but Hugh Jackman. Would the reactions be the same?

Earlier with Brazil:

And then France had to move because Germany took over.

The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise is currently a mess however. r/prequelmemes need to step it up.

Speaking of r/Place, what about taking it over with the Knuckles? Anyone with me?

That seems an awfully remissive approach to dealing with some pretty inflammatory statements.

Forgive and forget? I'm not saying people should necessarily be taking random, cheap shots at JonTron for the sake of a punchline (I'm not sure if that's what happening - I'm not well informed with the JonTron situation, because I've never cared about him, so I usually try to stay out of the conv), as that does little more than degrades the other side, but turning the other cheek is not the answer when someone goes off with a uproar of rhetoric you disagree with. Should you disagree with it.

People who want to speak out against perspectives they disagree with, let alone abhor, really have every reason and every right to do so. Just like JonTron had every right to say what he said. But, it would almost seem negligent to have JonTron say what he said and then everybody carry on as if nothing was amiss or different.

And this would remain the same if he went off on some far left-leaning tirade. Though the reaction, obviously, would be different.

People should be able to say whatever they want to say, but not with impunity. If we forgive and forget, there are no consequences to saying potentially awful, hateful, discriminatory stuff. And there should be. They shouldn't be violence, or imprisonment, but if people are galvanized into retorting, I don't see why that shouldn't equally be heard. Discourse is what moves us forward; inertia doesn't cultivate critical thought.

So should you forgive and forget or should you remain cognizant and act accordingly?
