Gizmodo, Planet of Hacks - TB on the current Jontron affair [#Rambling] [30:00]

Look, the article is badly written and "a hitpiece", like most things on that site, but who the hell cares about that when Jontron is acting like a racist moron?

Also, pretty sure the link to r/Jontron was to show how everyone there is disavowing Jontron.

And "oh I don't care that he's a bigot, I'll continue to support him by watching him" sounds pretty crazy from someone that has been boycotting SEGA for years for much less. "Bigotry? Ok. Bogus DMCAs years ago? Now that's crossing the line, I can't support this company!"

Finally, this whole "old media vs new media" thing is becoming childish with the propagation of the "we vs them" mentality (something that TB himself has said he disapproves of in the past).

Sure, TB isn't technically saying anything wrong, but this is like when Jontron decided to go on a rant against feminism "coincidentally" during the Women's March. It's just a moronic thing to do. You're gonna complain about the article complaining about the racist instead of complaining about the racist? TB is basically asking to be misinterpreted and misquoted here.
