What punishment exactly?
His couple of lines (or whatever he was doing) for the game have been cut. If he got paid for the work (not sure if he will have been given the circumstances) he will still have that money.

Maybe the devs dropped him because they disagreed with his views and didn't want to be associated with him, or maybe they did it for fear of losing sales. Whatever the reason they are entirely within their rights to so so, and punishing them for doing so is really no better than what the people calling for this Youtuber's part to be cut have done.

Not all damage is financial. In this case it's just a bit of slander and taking a project he enjoyed working on away from him. If there is any financial damage then it will be the devs who will be collateral damage of the angry mob.

I can understand the decision of the devs. And of course the devs have the right do whatever they want. But having the right to do something, does not mean you should be doing it. I don't think their decision is good for anyone, unfortunately.

*looks outside*

Okay, Sun came up today.
Looks like we all overreacted. :D

Now how about The Banner Saga? Any good?

When asked if he didn't mind immigration if they perfectly assimilated to the welcoming culture, he complained that it would still dilute the gene pool.

That wasn't taken as racist, that is pretty racist.

Yeah, it's great. Just replaying it now :)

Please educate yourself. This is sad.

posting a video =/= expressing yourself

Why stop there? Following that logic, let's go back even further and say all culture is a lie because humans originated from Africa. Culture cannot be quantified, and every country has an identity whether you see value in it or not.

We've got rules against derailing now! :P

No, first I hear about such game (Yooka-Laylee?). Sounds like some generic puzzle-platformer-indie game, judging by the name only of course.

What was some "controversial"(?) Youtuber doing in the game anyway? Was he like the end-boss that you fight, but now he has been removed so you just shoot at the empty walls at the end? I guess not. I still need to go out today to buy some groceries. Hopefully there is some good movie on the TV today, as it is Friday. But not two or several good movies on several channels at the same time, I hate that, hard to decide what to watch and then when you watch one of them, it turns out to be trash and you should have watched the other movie instead, but then IT IS TOO LATE! You can't rewind back time.

EDIT: Ok read the article, so that is some supposedly famous(?) British(?) Youtuber(?) that was supposed to voice one character in some stupid indie platforming(?) game(?), but then he said something about Mexicans trying to claim part of USA and build a wall or something. Now people can't hear his geeky voice in the game, I guess.

I still hope there is some good movie in the TV tonight, though.

Agree 100%. Like I said, it was an excuse to post something I already wanted to post. But it's not like "educate yourself" is much of an argument either, which is kind of the point. I don't even know if I agree with you or not because your disagreement with that post could be basically anything except exactly what you were quoting.

He was mature about it. Also no, I never cared to begin with and don't really think I'll ever get this, and if you did care he had only a minor role anyways.

Look, what JonTron said was very... uh, interesting... (and very false) and he obviously showed himself to be a pretty bad debater, but I don't think he has a hateful heart or a racist mind. The guy that challenged him (I forgot his name) was a real asshole and didn't really tell him it was going to turn into a heated debate. It's all that guy ever does is debate, it's his job to stir shit up and debate people. JonTron obviously couldn't get his thoughts in order and it sounded like he recently found /pol/ or something.

It's funny that they removed him in order to distance their game from any politics, but the simple act of doing so for the reason they did pushes it squarely into the political zone. Nah, I think the real reason is they knew cutting out his small part and throwing him under the bus would generate buzz around their game right before launch.

I agree. I don't like this trend at all.

I know your being sarcastic, but that is actually my point. Culture and society is not a fixed point. What makes the UK the UK now is not what made it 1000 years ago or what will make in another 1000.
But this is particularly true for countries whose population is made up by wave after wave of invaders and immigrants.
What makes someone English (or British)? Should you be able to trace your family tree back to the Normans? Except they were Vikings who settled in France. Maybe you should trace your heritage back to the Anglo-Saxons, except they were German. Or the Romans? The Celts?
Hell, even Christianity came here through immigration.
Change, new ideas, new cultures, they all make us stronger and better. People say that immigration brings terrorists, except the root cause of that terrorism, the reason there is a conflict at all is because of the intolerance (of both sides) to the beliefs and ideas of the other. It's a self perpetuating cycle.
