That's such a silly reason to hate on the game. Not like the voice acting fort this matters much :/
It wasn't hate on the game, it was hating on the producers. People didn't like the way they were announcing it so publicly and being proud that they kicked out JonTron. People were upset because they were promoting their political views not only in their game but also in their PR.
It's still a "literally who cares" situation, but the company were still pretty shitty about it. Especially cause it wasn't like JonTron was volunteering, he literally payed to be a voice actor in their kickstarter.
I like turtles.
They're allowed to hire and fire whoever they want of course, but it seems really dumb and overblown to do it over someone's social media statements that have no effect on the quality of the work. Where I would personally draw the line is in a situation like what just happened with X-Men Gold where the artist actually and literally inserted antisemitic views on the page.

i don't think the company was shitty about it. this is pretty standard practice. teenagers on the internet are just stupid.
It's pretty standard to advertise the fact they got rid of someone because of their political views? I've never really heard about it before except in extreme cases. It's pretty easy to be biased in the situation though if you agree or disagree with either person's political views and also plan on loving their game, or hating it.

I think the difference in this case is the fact that he wasn't hired, but literally paid them to contribute a few voice lines in it. They were cashing in on the fact that JonTron was in the news regarding his political stances so they decided to advertise the fact they got rid of him because, hey guys! Look at us! We don't like big bad meanies!
I just love how everyone is acting retarded about it all lol

Yes. Public figures get fired all the time for just that, and the company always makes it known. For example Monday Night Football had an opening song by Hank Williams Jr for years, it was iconic, and even people like me that hate sports broadcasts being padded out with inane shit like theme songs considered it acceptable because it was just the thing they did. It outlasted commentators, it made the jump from ABC to ESPN.
Then that dumb motherfucker went and compared Obama to Hitler one day and the theme song got dropped immediately and ESPN followed it with a statement distancing themselves from him. It's business. A person that represents your company or product in some way goes off and starts rattling off white nationalist idiocy you drop them hard and take about ten steps away from them because it poses a risk to your potential sales.
Jontron's role was used to publicize the game so the second him going off with his bullshit forced the company's hand as well as revealed him to be the utter waste of space we all suspect any given Youtuber to be. Don't collaborate Youtubers.
