Has he ever managed to take a photo without pulling the "I want to speak to the manager" look?

I'd say Jim's facial expression is more accurately discribed as being a mix between "I want to speak to the manager" look and the AGP smile. Which makes sense considering that he's a perverted troon who does nothing but complain all the time.

His feelings do not care about your facts. The police are probably lying anyway.


I think with Jim and bringing up he is trans, it is not so much as he talks about it too much, and he does, but he goes off into too many tangents. Now the Jimquisition was always Jim's soapbox but he used to do a far better job of staying on topic.

When I watch a video about lootboxes I want to hear about what is going on with them, not get a lecture on the evils of capitalism. His eye goes off the ball.

Now you can talk about how Capitalism plays a part in allowing businesses to get so exploitative with the lootboxes but he changes the topic to ranting about Capitalism and lootboxes just becomes the example of how bad Capitalism is.

See where am I getting here? He changes the focus of his videos too much off of the advertised topic. He does this with bringing in trans issues as well. You can bring it in, but you need to connect it the advertised topic and not allow it to take focus away from the subject matter at hand.

Then there is him shoehorning in the wrestling crap.

It's amazing how these statistics, while may not be 100% accurate, still are so minimal even when they have expanded what they considered to be "trans" to basically mean anyone and anything that is even the most minimally gender non-comforming. So even though they inflate these numbers artificially through that stupidity, they are still not being killed off like they try to claim.

To be fair. Capitalism is the only system that would create enough people with enough wealth to even allow lootboxes to be so largely profitable. Sure, there are the sick people and children who are fucking stupid. But, lets face it, a large portion of the revenue comes from people with so much money it doesn't fucking matter. Which, lets just face it, the majority of us could quit playing games with lootboxes and they'll still be held up by the whales. I don't think people being able to even be whales is a bad thing, though. Arguing that the overall quality of life for everyone should be lowered just so things like lootboxes don't exist is fucking idiotic.

You know. It's not like Jim doesn't have the capabilities or knowledge to even work in things like his wrestling character into the show in a good, organic way. He could easily have just made Sterdust the expert on sports titles. And brought them in whenever a controversy or story involving those was on the docket. Subtle plug that at least makes some sense. Jim, frankly, lost his touch. He can't see the forest for the trees.

I think why Jim puts the effort he does in passing (it's not great mind) is he knows he's on a camera. He needs to put in some effort for his job. Other troons don't have that.

I think it goes deeper than just faking his attraction to dick, but also his kinks.

There's a term in certain kink circles "attention sub". Jim fits the type. He displays a bunch of submissive kinks in hopes of getting attention from doms. I doubt he really had them to start before he Stockholm'd himself into them. It's a common phenomenon, and they are generally avoided because they make very dangerous partners. Likely to never speak up if things go too far or they hide injuries that need attention just so as to prolong things to get more attention. They are safety hazards. Most doms don't want to harm (hurt yes, but not harm) their subs, even on accident, the thought is mortifying for them, but attention subs often don't speak up, afraid they will stop getting attention and so will let things go too far.

Afterwards during aftercare it gets revealed the line was crossed, and the attention seeking sub said nothing. This violates trust and often leaves the dom quite upset, as anyone would be if they found out they harmed someone unintentionally.

He's incredibly surface level. Having read the research papers on how exploit the human psyche for lootbox sales, Jim doesn't even begin to realize how awful it is. Jim doesn't research that much, he could go deeper, but he doesn't. He's lazy and doing more would take work.

Who would he be getting attention from though? Who would want to dominate lard?

Strong overlap with the Darksydephil thread but whales are indeed the majority of the income for microtransactions, and it may not show too much for games where there's, like, a couple ways to spend money and that's it, but mobile games (I'm sure there are a few PC games that qualify, like maybe that Mechwarrior thing ?) with fully fledged stores have stuff that truly only caters to whales.

It's even kinda tiered, where the cheap stuff is actually pretty good bang-for-your-buck-wise, but the higher you go the worse it gets, like they know nobody who's not über-rich or addicted will pay for such things anyway, so might as well jack up the prices. And then there's also the cheap stuff no-one would "reasonably" do because the gain is insignificant but that the whales do do. Taking a game I play as example, being able to change your character's equipment from a PvP to PvE one or vice-versa; The average person simply has PvP toons and PvE toons, whales have (some) characters act as both and keep paying to switch them around very often. It's not worth it in any capacity but if you're not gonna look at your spending, well, yeah, might as well do it.

I don't mind microtransactions existing, I think the model has merits, but this idea of "We know some people will whale so we'll "scam" them" does ring a bit sick, and as we see with Darksydephil, it does make some people sick themselves - though I'm sure it'd be some other kind of drug if it weren't gacha in his case, in fact alcohol already is one, he's just kind of a disaster of a person.

Also nice gear, Jim, your tied pork look's pretty on point.

Sub Report for the week starting November 15th, 2021:
Mon: Jimquisition ('Grand Theft Awful', 262k views)
Tues: ---
Wed: ---
Thu: ---
Fri: ---
Sat: ---
Sun: ---

Subs left til -100k: 23k

This is a very special week indeed: For the first time in 2021 Jim has gone an entire week without losing any subs! 🎉
🎉 🎉

He's also had his two best-viewed JQs in months back to back, and since this week's is undoubtedly going to be about Activision and therefore moderately topical (even though we all already know what he's going to say) I suspect we may see him carry this record into next week.

Don't feel too upset, though, I'm sure this streak of successes will go to his head and cause him to immediately destroy whatever groundswell of new support he's achieved, because Jim is Jim and Jim is fucking awful.
