So Jon has a new series now. JonTron's Happy Hour is the name. Someone put a subfolder in the Funny subpage for Jontron, but I'm thinking we make a new page just for Jontron's Happy Hour. Would it be Web Animation, or Web Video?

So after the recent Jon debate fuck-up, let's try not to start an edit war because you want to add a trope condemning him/praising him for what he said. Keep it neutral.

It would be PC to completely ignore how Jon Tron outed himself as a racist.

I'm not defending Jon, I just don't want an edit war between both sides.

When you say "keep it neutral," do you want to pick the middleground between racism and non-racism?

How it Jon Tron not a Caustic Critic? Don't get me wrong, I love his work, but I don't see why the link in his description linking to Caustic Critic was removed. As per the trope, he does give a lot of scathing criticism of games, even exaggerating it pretty often.

Like in his reviews of the Bubsy games and Star Wars Kinect. Or Nightshade, where part of the humor was how Jon got so upset that he gets launched into the sun.

Sure, in his earlier days he tended not to be harsh on the games he's reviewing, but thats long in the past. In pretty much all of his reviews nowadays, his criticism on the games he reviews is rather harsh, and even though I'd agree they're pretty badly made games, that doesn't make him any less of a reviewer that likes to accentuate the negative.

I'd say he's going more with Rule of Funny rather than a serious minded Caustic Critic

I love being irrefutable

Isn't Caustic Critic based around Rule of Funny?

I'm seconding this. Some of the gags in Jon's videos are so widespread at this point that I'm surprised we don't already have a Memes page.

I don't want to change it yet because I feel like I need some confirmation, but on the trivia page, it notes that Jon admitted in Game Grumps that he's not comfortable using the word "fuck". Assuming they're talking about what he said in episode 4 of Mega Man 7, wasn't he referring to the homophobic slur "f*ggot" when he said he was uncomfortable using the "f-word"? I could be wrong, but that's what they were talking about a minute before he said that.
