It’s strange how these people suddenly go full body-shaming and resort to just hurling insults at someone when said person disagrees with them. Let’s go over what Jon has recently said on twitter. First Tim Schafer posts an Anita Sarkeesian video, stating that everyone should watch it. Jon calls him out on it, makes jabs at Anita’s refusal to debate her points, and states that both genders are objectified in gaming.
Jon then goes on to make several posts where he states that he supports women, and that he loves games where women kick ass (which he argues that there are plenty of). I would link to the posts in question, however they’ve mostly been deleted by now. Here is a screen taken by tumblr user bmann14k though.
So tumblr is throwing a shitfit over Jon saying that men are objectified in gaming too. Whether you agree with this or not is not the issue. Tumblr is absolutely demonizing Jon, calling him fat and a ‘neckbeard’ and all kinds of shit, shown above. If you disagree with someone’s opinion… you don’t have to throw a goddamn tantrum and shout insults over the internet. People are acting like he’s committed a fucking crime, for saying that simple phrase.
Your celebrities are not going to be perfect little angels for you. They are not going to believe everything that you do, they’re not going to think the same words you think are bad to be bad also. Get this through your heads. Jon never said that women weren’t objectified in gaming. He just said that men were objectified as well. If you agree or disagree, that’s your choice, but please act like a fucking adult and don’t act like someone is terrible just because they think differently than you.
Jokes on them, he gained at least one fan because I went I watched him out of spite the legitimately enjoyed his videos.
And I personally have more respect for Jon throughout this whole witch-hunt because he doesn’t just roll over when things are presented to him like other people in Gaming seem to want to do.
That’s what I really like about Jon. He doesn’t cave in to the hive mind of SJWs, which a lot of reviewers have unfortunately fallen victim to.
Why were they taken down? Only one is even kinda something and the guy had a proper reaction one expects. The rest of that I see on Tumblr as points all the damn time.
Seriously this site has issues if they hate on bullying tactics but more than that the very names (besides neck beard) they used to insult him. More proof than when push comes to shove, people of tumblr as a whole can’t put their money where their mouth is.
I am not, nor have ever been, a game grumps fan. BUT, Jon has a very valid point. Too many male protagonists are depicted as tough, slightly dirty with a beard and have skills that no normal person would have. It is setting expectations too high for men to meet. I may not be a fan of his series, but I do respect him enough to listen to his arguments.
I do not like homestuck. I do not hate it. What I do hate are fans who try to make references to it everywhere. The same goes for every fandom. It is really annoying.
Hey people of tumblr…
Um…
i just wanna let you know that it IS possible to see something zodiac related and not make a homestuck reference. It is as annoying as supernatural fans making a supernatural reference whenever they see something about a ghost or bronies making an mlp reference whenever they hear something horse related. There is a time and place for everything and you don’t need to steal posts from the original poster…
“You can actually fix your car yourself for cheaper: LIFE HACK”
“Rabbits have overrun an island in japan: LIFE HACK”
like wtf
Axes can be used to cut up bodies for easier burial: LIFE HACK
Bury a body standing up ‘cause satellites are trained to look for holes around 6 feet in length: LIFE HACK
Bury a dog over your body so when a K9 unit finds it the cops will dig it up and think it’s a false positive: LIFE HACK
Actually, if you put it in an air tight container, no smell will get out and dogs can’t track it. There was an incedent where this woman killed her mother and stuffed her in a trash can and duct taped every hole multiple times until it was air tight and put it in storage. Some people later found it and all but her bones had liquified. If you buried it, nobody would ever find out. The woman only got caught because her name was on the storage shed.
