In June 2013, he appeared in the music video 'Let's Get This Terrible Party Started!' by Ninja Sex Party.

Jon is set to appear as a date-able character in the fan-made crowdfunded dating sim Asagao Academy, which raised $26,743 on Kickstarter in November 2014.

In August 2014, Jafari came under fire from fans and outside observers for controversial statements made on Twitter.

In June 2015 Jafari appeared in an episode of the web series Songify the News, produced by The Gregory Brothers.
