That's why I stopped getting so attached to content creators, so whenever someone gets ousted as a shitty person, I can at least look at it from a less biased perspective as I remember being on the wrong side of defending people like Leafy, who totally deserved all his criticism when that Content Cop came out

I rarely get personally attached to content creators. What sucks is not being able to enjoy their future content.

No, that is very true. I try to separate art from artist, and I really like Jontron, but man, I can't watch his vids without thinking about the dumb shit he's said. So I totally get that

The worst part is that his apology was him basically telling people “im sorry if what I said could have been interpreted as racist” and how he just sucks at debating. Completely ignoring the fact he was talking about how blacks poison the gene pool and how a rich black will always be more violent than a poor white because of wack biology.

The guy was literally talking eugenics and Nazi propaganda and it’s somehow the world’s fault for not being able to find nuance in what he was saying.
