People on this site outright calling the Game Grumps horrible people is kinda hilarious to me because I’m pretty sure both Danny and Arin combined are much kinder than any assholes on this hellsite.
Seriously they’re ANGELS
Nah, angels isn’t the right word. The Game Grumps have messed up in the past and done a few problematic things. But the thing is that they’re REAL PEOPLE. When you make videos that are mostly unedited and have more genuine banter compared to other lets players out there, you’re bound to show your faults. But real people fucking work.
What makes a person good or bad is if their willing to make up for their mistakes or try to learn from them. The Grumps in particular have gone out of their way to fix things for other people if their informed if they’ve done anything harmful (two good examples would be the trigger warning placed at the start of the disney princess playthrough and the section of the sonic adventure playthrough that outed the name of someone who created a walkthrough being cut out for their safety).
I’m not gonna lie, they’ll probably make more mistakes in the future. But that’s okay! Because that’s all part of being a developing human being. Don’t ever let Tumblr’s shitty witch hunt mentality tell you otherwise.
Also, don’t use this post to defend Jontron. Don’t.
“Treat people like developing human beings, except this one lol”
I understand you’re point, but the problem is that is, as far as I know, Jontron hasn’t tried to correct himself or acknowledge his bigotry. The difference between him and the Grumps is that Dan and Arin will often try to improve themselves (which I already talked about). Jon just seems cemented in his harmful viewpoints. The reason why I felt the need to clarify not to use this post to shield him is that I personally don’t feel comfortable with other people completely ignoring the points I used on this topic and just boil it all down to “people should never be confronted about anything!!!”
But if Jontron were to change at all and try to improve himself, I’d personally be all for it. I’m always up for anyone trying to grow and become better people. I’m also not that upset by people who still choose to watch his videos. Jontron DOES have talent and a good comedic style, no it’s not that much of surprise that people would want to continue watching him and just ignore all of the politics. As long as he keeps his radical opinions out of his content, it shouldn’t be that big of a deal.
