JonTron | Result: Keep[edit]
Delete[edit]
- This whole article covers a single controversy about racist behavior from 2017 and basically nothing since then. JonTron also isn't a political or science YouTuber, so I don't think he's relevant. VerminWiki (talk) 02:21, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
- I don’t think it’s worth keeping.

- Just one incident but it's a pretty major incident, people still try to argue that he said nothing wrong to this day. Though this could probably use an update Plutocow (talk) 02:50, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
- Missional, and easily meets follower criterion for YouTubers. Bongolian (talk) 03:28, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
- If you read the article mentioned under "External links" [1], you'll see that JonTron's bigotry dates back to as early as 2014. So, it is not a "single incident" case. And just because a YouTuber is not science/politically oriented doesn't mean that it is non-missional. Even mainstream children's TV shows could be missional if they inculcate problematic narratives or stereotypes. MayGodSaveUsAll (talk) 06:35, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

- Update, improve, don't delete. —cosmikdebris talk stalk 20:05, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
- i think trying to update this would be beneficial it was a big incident in fairness, if updating still does not appease people then reconsider.Oneandtwo (talk) 02:35, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- We aren't PoliticsWiki, ffs! Politics isn't our main mission! I also agree with Cosmik. Arcadium Trancefer (talk) 19:49, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- He may not be like a notable figure compared to others on here. But like others said, this wasn’t a one off incident and he still has continued this. I’d say at least there can be some improvements on the article. SomeAutisticAce (talk) 13:09, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
- Per his continuing to be a far-right psycho promoting conspiracy theories as discussed below. ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 19:08, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

- He still runs a youtube channel, does anyone know if he's learned to shut his mouth about his racist beliefs? ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 20:04, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think he's really spoken about it since 2017, but he has publically expressed his belief that the 2020 election was stolen by Joe Biden and that the COVID-19 vaccines are really dangerous in the past few years.(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Natsuki Marx ♥ (talk) 11:57, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
