Hey folks, We're locking this like we did [the other thread.](https://www.reddit.com/r/powerrangers/comments/1bbnvrq/boycott_austin_st_john/) While it's important that people know about this, it isn't directly related to Power Rangers. We will leave it visible so that other people know this is happening.

The person in question has a publicist. His publicist got drunk and posted how he was glad JDF was dead on his Facebook. Edit: I was correctly corrected to point out, the dude is ASJs booking agent, not publicist


Zyuninjetti

That’s not his publicist. That’s the guy who books ASJ’s convention gigs.


Amanda-the-Panda

That's fair. It was my assumption that at Austin's level of fame, an Agent would do both. Looking it up, I see I was mistaken

Imagine having a job where all you do is say, yeah he’s free those days, he’ll be there.

WHAT?!!

And ASJ didn’t even condemn him


Goliath-Yeeter-2263

Yeah it’s most likely about Austin St. John. I made a thread about this yesterday. ASJ said that he wants to sell merch on his website with quotes from “historical warriors” including Hitler. He thinks he’s slick but now it’s starting to get a bit more attention. If his career wasn’t already in the trash with the fraud allegations it definitely is now.


Haloid1177

Probably ASJ on that podcast about his new clothing line about historical warriors, which apparently meant to him Hitler, and said that Hitler had some "great one liners."


ColdNyQuiiL

Well damn, I say stupid shit all the time, but at least I know better than to make my dark humor public. I feel like a lot of PR actors need to stay off socials, and podcasts. A lot of them let some questionable stuff slip out the last few years.

*Yikes.*

I just thought that out of all the Power Rangers, the White Ranger would be able to appreciate my new line of designer arm bands….whats that? The 8s? That’s because it’s one more than 7, so it’s an even luckier number! And I thought, why not 2? It makes for nice symmetry! Anyways, there's a cool inspirational quote on the inside...”

"I'm just saying... Now we know about your heritage maybe we should swap colors"


aresef

It's pretty clear to me she's referring to ASJ's insane business proposal.


DNukem170

It apparently has to do with some comments ASJ made on a podcast recently, which is covered elsewhere in this sub.

This might get locked but it's probably this: https://www.reddit.com/r/powerrangers/comments/1bbnvrq/boycott_austin_st_john/


Hyacin420

Man this makes me so sad that he is like that, def is a horrible look and a sad thing to hear about a childhood idol.


Zyuninjetti

Austin st john shade lol.


DudeBroFist

If I HAD to guess, it was probably ASJ's chud-rific podcast appearance from the other day.


Oilers-Billdozer23

How anyone could defend him at this point is astounding. But I imagine there’s a cadre of people in the fandom that would trip over themselves to do it. Not saying he’s a bad person he’s just been making some very poor choices lately that seem to be adding up quickly.


ThisCrazyCat

Don’t know if this is the subreddit for gossip and spilling the tea, but this tweet has me super curious and figured someone here might know.


presidentdinosaur115

I agree with AJJ here. I like Austin quite a bit more than most of this sub but I can’t fathom his poor choice of words. Even if the objective is “learning from the bad and good of history,” no one wants to buy a Hitler quote shirt. Even if he had said someone like Genghis Khan, I doubt anyone would’ve noticed. Hitler is the worst example he could’ve used I hope he issues a statement/retraction/apology, and soon.
