Yooka-Laylee developer removes voice of YouTube personality JonTron after racist statements

You can enjoy the spiritual successor to the Nintendo 64 Banjo-Kazooie games without having to hear the grunting, guttural sounds of someone who espouses views that are nearly identical to confirmed white supremacists.

Developer Playtonic has dropped the voice of Jon “JonTron” Jafari from its upcoming 3D platformer Yooka-Laylee, which will debut on console and PC on April 11. The studio made the decision following JonTron’s remarks on social media and YouTube about black people, Africa, and Mexicans that began with the video creator defending U.S. representative Steve King’s statement that America cannot “restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies.”
