Controversies[]

Racism[]

In 2019, Arin would make several posts on Twitter saying he was anxious to make a statement on the Black Live Matter movement.[4] However, some fans pointed out that Arin used to say the N-word or use racist caricatures in his old Newgrounds animations and Game Grumps Let's Plays. One example was in a live stream where Arin wanted to remember what was the most racist thing he said, to which his girlfriend, Suzy says he dropped off a black person and proceeded to call him the N-word multiple times.[5]

On June 4, 2020, the Game Grumps twitter account would make a post about the Black Lives Matter movement. In the post, they show their support towards the BLM movement while also condemning racism and bigotry. They also acknowledge that they've made dark jokes towards minority groups and apologizing to those they've hurt, also saying they'll try to be better. [6] While the majority of people praised the Game Grumps, others still criticized them for their jokes.

Every Storytime Animation[]

On July 31, 2019, YouTuber Sr Pelo uploaded a video titled 'Every StoryTime Animation', which was basically a parody of all storytime animators. However, Arin wasn't happy with the animation, saying he got made fun of making cartoons and it would just hurt his feelings. He also calls out Newgrounds animators for patting Pelo on the back, despite Arin being an animator along with others.[7] Sr Pelo reaches out to Arin saying it wasn't meant to hurt anyone, and he would make a video explaining all the jokes.[8] But people like OneyPlays told Pelo that he shouldn't change his humor just because of this. One day later, Arin posts an apology post, but some criticized him for complaining about his past sense of humor on Newgrounds. Pelo had said that he and Arin had spoken and they were cool with each other.
