So once again, the malignant, tumor-like growth on the lower back of YouTube’s body, aka JonTron, has been really throwing himself into the fire more and more as of late, and while many people (like myself) aren’t really surprised that he is still as awful of a person as he’s always been, many people are shocked and appalled at just how much worse it’s gotten.
Here’s a quick recap of all the gross things he’s said thus far:
Now granted, this string of tweets started out as a huge shitshow on Jon’s part, but this one seemed to end rather maturely and nicely so this one isn’t a huge problem, but we should still probably look at it (plus I love my boy SpaceHamster throwing down to defend what’s right in a mature way. Seriously, watch his stuff. Jeff is gr9)
This whole stream with Sargon of Akkad, A NOTORIOUSLY RACIST AND SEXIST BIGOT, where Jon drops a lot of ignorant shit, including, but not limited to: women aren’t oppressed, abortion isn’t a right and the government shouldn’t fund “your mistakes”, compared Democrats to Hitler, says nobody should be worried about Trump as long as they’re an “obedient citizen”, etc. (I sadly had time stamps for all these but now I can’t find them, but if anyone is willing to find them and add them to this post, that’d be neat!)
And that’s just the receipts that I, personally, can pull for you at the moment, dear anon. However, if anyone else has things to add onto this list, please, by all means, make this a masterpost of why JonTron is awful.
He is such an underrated character. He was a cinnamon role and just wanted to help the entire movie. No Hans bullshit, no pressuring her into a relationship, just love.
He gave support, he was patient, he was unconditionally kind, he accepted all the difficulties with child services and all the weird alien visitors with barely a blink. He dove into the ocean to rescue Stitch because Lilo was worried. And through it all, he proved that he was more than willing to do everything in his power to help these girls and make them smile, without any thought of a reward or being “owed” for his friendship.
Even his line at the end, when Nani thanks him for helping her find a job (”That’s okay. You can just date me and we’ll call it even.”), is delivered with a certain amount of humor, and his behavior throughout the rest of the film shows that he would still accept it if she turned him down. Because more than just liking Nani, he RESPECTS her.
