I just like this thread for posting cool and funny videos, do we really need to be updated every time some racist dude on youtube puts his foot in his mouth again?
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

Apparently even his own subreddit is labeling his apology as shit
Right after the """"debate"""" his sub went ballistic with shitposting and jokes and shitting on Jon, it was hilarious. Unfortunately the mods deleted seemingly all of it, for a bit a post titled "Incredible JonTron Cosplay" and was just a picture of a burning dumpster was the 3rd highest voted submission in the sub's history. There's still some winners though:
At least a lot of his fans seem to be taking him to task and either criticizing him or outright dumping him, so that's a positive.
As they should
No no, you have to double down on the stupidity and "ironic" racism, and claim the Wall Street Journal is trying to censor them, like PewDiePie's fans are doing.

outing racists is cool and schadenfreude is funny
Outing racists IS cool, but the regular updates on what he did recently and sharing his videos seems less useful.
It feels more like dragging us back into his cesspit over what should just be a general "this guy's not okay" warning. Same goes for Pewdie. Don't need to know why he's still awful.
“I said lots of stuff that could be misconstrued in all sorts of ways,” said Jafari, better known to his fans as JonTron. An alumnus of the let’s play group Game Grumps, the YouTuber has become better known for making comedy videos ever since he left the group in 2013.
In an effort to clarify statements like “if they immigrate they need to integrate, but also we don’t need immigrants from incompatible places,” and “I don’t think a pure society is possible, but in terms of a demographic majority, I don’t know that a nation can exist without one,” the YouTuber tried to lay out his views in a more prepared and ordered manner, away from the “pressure” of his almost two hour debate on Bonnell’s stream.
“I was trying to speak to the increasing tribalization of our culture,” said Jafari, and he believes the remarks brought up offhand late at night on a “random” Twitch stream viewed by tens of thousands of people didn’t accurately reflect this.
I'm glad you post these, I just don't really want to click the awesome button on em. Cause well, usually what's being talked about in the video is distinctly not awesome.

They aren't there now but when I saw that JT video the top 3 comments were all "My name is Jeff"
I looked up the meme and watched the vines but I still don't get the relevance, is it just today's hot thing to post in comments or did it mean something
Nah, I'm mashing Agree on Kana's post as hard as possible, until I realized that just toggles it on and off, and just left it at on. Because
I too want to ignore the global rise of white nationalism
I don't think anyone is ignoring it here. We know he's a crazy racist already, but we don't need to hear every crazy racist thing he says. Ya don't need to regularly post InfoWars content for us to know it's full of crazy racist shit too.
Any full list of the keywords that are getting restricted? This seems to me like they had a big list of terms present in porn and dumped it all in without thinking.

This is usually how these stories go: They've set up a new filter and have not added any subtleties so the false positive rate is staggering. This is exacerbated by their poor communication
It's dumb they do this, but I'm going to operate on the assumption they're not trying to censor gays unless proven otherwise

My thoughts are more or less the same, but with the added clause that the responsible thing to do in this situation is to turn that shit back off immediately until they have it fixed.
They should have done that as soon as they were aware of the problem.

I don't think they'll address this at all unless pushback is strong enough
They didn't add LGBT content to the filter because there was a staggering amount of NSFW video in that community, they did it because of the fucked up assumption that so much as the awareness that LGBT individuals exist is not "family friendly"

Probably. I mean, we still get complaints at my library from customers who don't think And Tango Makes Three should be on the shelf in the kid's section, and it's not because they're afraid of explicit content in a picture book about penguins.

And I'd bet that they came to that sort of "conclusion" courtesy of a targeted complaint campaign.

The Youtube Creators twitter did post about it, only apologizing that it caused "confusion," with the insinuation that it is completely intentional

Taking odds if they'll walk back before the end of the week.
one problem with that statement is that it's patently false, as shown by the above video of a person petting their cat with a hand-drawn pride flag and the word "gay" in the title being filtered
they need to acknowledge that it's not working the way they claim it should, and turn it the hell off until it is

In compensation, Earthbound stuff!
I feel an enormous amount of shame over once defending Jontron on this very forum. He's a bad person. Fuck him.
End of line.

Well, I heard he was originally going to call it "My Struggle" instead but his new friends suggested that was a bit on the nose.

That's the Final video, yes.

Did you know restricted mode blocks gay content
The hypocrisy is actually sickening.
Seriously hope they see some immediate backlash for this. Maybe some high profile YouTube people should strike or something?

I remember a whole bunch of popular youtubers were losing monetization because of a large number of bogus reports at first. Maybe semi related?

Oh god youtube get it together

they could've also been reactive instead of proactive in regards to mature content
don't automatically flag things with words in the description
just like, wait until some threshold of reports is met then have a content moderate go in and go "yes this is bad content"
But that requires staff, which costs money.
