r/JonTron is uprising & rightfully turning against their false god.
JonTron Stuff Goes Here * r/JonTron
reddit: the front page of the internet
For those unaware, e‐celebrity JonTron has been growing more & more white supremacist over the weeks (or at least more open about it), & many of his (now former) admirers have become disillusioned with him. This is especially visible on the unofficial subreddit for him. Whilst many would argue that this doesn’t deserve applause, I think that it is at least another sign that the tide is turning out way, & this truly shows how obsequious PewDiePie’s admirers are when taken into comparison.
Since presumably the front page will eventually look completely different, I’ll just post a few ‘greatest hits’ as a matter of public record:

Credit where it's due, these man-children have figured out a way to be "shocking" and "edgy" and get paid for it. That makes them marginally more intelligent and interesting than the skinheads and neo-nazis from decades earlier.
Still though, your point they are increasingly shown to be on the wrong side of civil discourse and opinion (when highlighted) is very valid. We didn't ask for a culture war, but it is an argument we will win in the end.
That's what disturbs me. Back in the 90s the Neo-Nazis got to talking about how they needed to put a more "civilized" face on their ideology. Gradually, they started casting aside the skinhead look in favor of suits and faux respectability. These YouTubers were gradually indoctrinated, and now they are doing the same to their audiences.
Never meet your heroes.
