Just a quick disclaimer: I am by no means a fan of Jontron. I find his Youtube content rather cringeworthy and overall not very entertaining. His inclusion in Yooka-Laylee as a voice actor would be "fanservice" completely lost on me, as I personally could not care less; in fact I think it might actually bother me knowing that a trashy Youtuber was voicing characters in a game I was playing (would feel like pandering to me).
HOWEVER, the fact that Jontron was fired from this project due to personal political views which he expressed OUTSIDE of the "workplace" (so to speak), is extremely disturbing. It seems we have reached a point, in America, where you cannot even have differing opinions to that of the "social norm" or else you will be discriminated against in the workplace potentially resulting in the termination of your services. I say this because it is a milestone; a new all time low, if you will.
Freedom of speech is nothing but a pipedream
