Jim Sterling / James "Stephanie" Sterling / James Stanton/Sexton & in memoriam TotalBiscuit (John Bain) - One Gaming Lolcow Thread

You know what's really funny, though?

If ActiBlizz got shut down, all these woke people butchering World of Warcraft would also get put on the streets. Jim is arguing for women, minorities and transgender people to lose their jobs because some rich white guy did bad things.
And the wealthy white man would have a golden parachute, while all the poor, poor minorities get jack shit, and Jim pats itself on the back. Well, assuming he could reach.

It's actually too bad he isn't capable of making this happen. It would give us some damn good memes.
 
As usual Jim only knows how to argue from emotion with zero thought for what he's actually demanding.

Let's say tubby gets his way and shuts ActiBlizz down. Congratulations: You've just put 9,500 people in the unemployment line. What a hero of the people you are Jim, you blinkered mongoloid. Yeah, 'frat bro' culture sucks, but I'd bet dollars to donuts most of those thousands would prefer it to living on the fucking streets.

Then again, what should I expect from the man who decided to throw his lot in with the group who think the best cure for depression is cutting your dick off. Not renowned for their long-term strategies, that bunch.

And it ain't just people losing their jobs, I don't know about the other studios under Activision umbrella, But I do know how Blizzard works with their contract people, and they offer some of the best medical plan in the industry, people take care of their parents and other loved ones this way enduring having to make yet another asset for WOW. The pay might not be that great till you get to a senior position (unless you are a super star, but thats another story), but the profit share and the medical they provide makes very worthy to work there.

Like you said, argument from emotion, Sterling feels validaded over this news about Kotick (who is probably going to bounce) and now gives the "burn down everything" self rigthous speech, because he is feeling himself. he doesn't understand how business work, now he wants to, he wants to rant hyperboles in a facede of "justice" that not even he believes that much.

I can't even fault Sterling at having another go at the dead horse, not so much because it is in the news cycle, but because that is what he does now, there is no point to even point it out, fatass gonna do his thing.

But at least I would like for Sterling to cut the bullshit and stop saying "I wish I could make videos about other topics, but I CAAAAANNNN'T!! because the videogame industry is the devil and I need to keep fighting it!!!"

Bullshit, Sterling goes to the dead horse because it is easy, the "script" for these sort of episodes are just stream of consciousness bullshit that he's been repeating for year and the research is to read twitter headlines, try to strech it to a 13-15 minute show by making the "awkard" intro and outro, and bam, another week of work in the bag.

If Sterling really wanted to talk about something else, he would, there is no one to say how many videos he can make or what he should talk about, we all know the only topics Sterling wants to cover is Capitalism bad, troon shit and his lame ass wrestle shit, because he can do those on his sleep.

Also, for the love of god Sterling, stop with the moral brown beat bullshit, some kid buying the new Call of Duty ain't a endorsement for abuse, do you go over a moral selection of everything you consume? This shit doesn't help anybody.

We can choose to support or not a product based on what happens in a studio, but no one besides the employers and bosses in a big corp can make any changes to it, and if the case comes to be, the legal authorities as well, so at the very least, leave people alone if they just wanna play a fucking game without this guilty trip bullshit, who gave you the moral high ground to judge others like that?
 
Ah yes, Petitions from randos on the internet will surely tell the executive boards of Ubisoft and Activision to throw their bosses out, especially if they have created large profits and keep the execs rich
The petition for ousting Kotick has a whopping 25,000 signatures of this writing: https://www.change.org/p/bobby-kotick-remove-bobby-kotick-from-activision-blizzard

The UbiSoft petition does not have public numbers, but the tweet by the employee group who started it has a mere 4,200 likes. (It also actually has far broader demands than Yves Guillemot resigning, many of them related to workplace culture and practices, the demand for Yves head seems like the least noteworthy thing about it. So of course that's what Jim focuses on.)

Funny enough, both Kotick and Guillemot own significant stock in their companies. They could literally retire as CEO (and this increases in likelihood with each year as they age) and make just as much, if not more, off the profits of the two companies. And development practices could become even worse under new management for all we know. I'm not defending either man or their actions, but just noting how entirely symbolic this would be. It makes you wonder what Jim hopes to accomplish with a screed against one of them. (Not really.)

I'm guessing if their hand is forced they'll also get a very nice golden parachute as they jump out the burning building that is their respective company.

Cue another video from Jim whining about how this is all capitalism's fault, even though he got exactly what he asked for, because he never thinks any proposition through past the initial fuzzy feeling of screaming 'FIRE BOBBY KOTICK'.

Good. Two birds in one stone. Not only does ActiBlizz gets fucked, but Sterling gains more notoriety as he has no one to bitch to and slowly watches his reputation go down the shitter.

Or, better yet, he gets inundated with angry tweets from BIPOCLGBTQIA+ ActiBlizz staff saying it's his fault they lost their jobs and that's what ends up cancelling him.
 
Sterling's added nothing of value to any game industry discussion for at least 3 years now.

On actually reading WSJ's "bombshell" article, I'm still not sure what Kotick is "guilty" of. I'm no fan of his, but seriously.

He was aware of allegations. That's it generally. Some people got fired for post investigation, others didn't. The reoccurring theme in the latter case being a lack of evidence.

Half the shit they reference is quite literally from 10-15 years ago (e.g. Kotick's cringe fedpost of a voice-mail to his secretary in 2006), and none of it suggests that Kotick was actively stopping every sexual harassment claim from going anywhere, aside from one instance where he thought the co-head of Treyarch shouldn't have been fired for said "harassment", the details of which we don't know. It could be that he made a raunchy comment or two. If it was physical, you'd have to guess they'd use "assault".

That's the poison of those types of articles. The headline is all you need.

I'm looking at this, with the corrupt California and unionists subversives in mind, and I can't help but wonder if this whole situation is a power-grab. We've already seen these third-wave feminist types swarm into Hollywood and, more endemically, comic books through similar methods.
 
I decided to look at the comments on that awful picture and, pardon my being a complete idiot about Twitter, but can't anyone reply to this ? It looks to me like anyone could, yet the worst comment I can spot is a mere "No comment", the rest being emphatically positive.

Does Jim spend his time deleting comments he doesn't like ? That's kind of my only explanation short of Twitter being that much of a degenerate echo chamber.

I'm pretty sure Jim has already blocked anyone who would dare criticize his look.
 
but other troons post selfies of themselves so often that they may as well be on camera as a career?
Oh I agree, but here's the difference. Other troons are trying to grift and get asspats, but never actually have worked in any form of online entertainment and have no preexisting fanbase, regardless of how minimalist their standards are, like Jim does. Jim will always have to recognize the fact he has existing fans with standards, he's not starting from bitch tier bottom twitter thot, he's starting from "mildly successful YouTuber".
 
Oh Jesus I have not seen Jim since he started his transition, dude just stop it you will never pass as female
I never watched Jim pre-troon out but I had the same reaction to Joe Goes. Granted he wasnt cucked by his wife or anything, but he one day "came out" and started wearing some cheap ass blonde wig and knee length grandma dresses, saying he had been on hormones for a year or some shit. I thought it was a joke at first but he was 100% serious. The worst part is how they lie about feeling trans all their lives when I've watched this guy for years and never did I see him do any gender bending shit that would indicate him being trans. Its 100% a fetish.
 
Jim's transformation into the old lizard looking secretary from Monster's Inc. is coming along nicely. He seriously looks like my friend's 70 year old Mum, and that's being mean to her. Genuinely awful thumbnail, seems designed to scroll right on past.
"YOU FORGOT TO SIGN MY ESTROGEN RELEASE FORMS AGAIN MIKE WASAWSKI, YOU MALE BETA ABUSER!"
 
Because you're there to see Jim, baby! It doesn't matter what he says, does or looks like; he's such a charismatic personality and peerless comedian you'll tune in just to watch him fuck a box of Corn Flakes.

[This is what Jim Sterling actually believes.]

His latest video got me wondering, just how much do you think Jim must hate youtubers like cr1tikal? They both started out their current channel format at around the same time, yet their relationship with their audience couldn't be more different. Charlie can actually just upload whatever shit he feels like, without losing hundreds of subs. I could compare their videos on the Bobby Kotick scandal and say Charlie got ten times more views than Jim while doing even less research somehow (which is to be expected, since he pumps out two videos a day), but that would be way too easy.

Instead I'm gonna mention how a couple of weeks ago Charlie uploaded a short stupid video where he just walks around with a camera strapped around his crotch, and that video alone got more views than Jim got this entire month.

Without even taking the quality of his videos into question, dude's young, slim, handsome and actually has enough charisma or is at least able to make commentary interesting enough to allow him to put out whatever he feels like without his channel bleeding out from it. And he doesn't even need to use autistic toys or props to make his videos, his most popular ones are just him sitting in his room and talking to the camera. He's the complete opposite of Jim.

Jim knows exactly what's alienating his audience, and if he really wanted he could make his videos very watchable again, but it's his entitlement that prevents him from doing that. He thinks he should be able to say "caaaapitalism" 30 times in a video and still get half a mil views, he thinks he should be able to mention he's troon/enby every other sentence and get a thousand new subs every day. I bet he considers current levels of sperging to be a compromise

Turns out that dude he posted a bunch of pics with back in September is his Twitch mod

I've brought up Charlie numerous times in this thread when making comparisons to Jim, because it really is night and day, but also because it exposes an uncomfortable reality I think people are either unwilling to accept or simply unaware of when it comes to e-celebrity: Some people just aren't cut out for it, and there is a very hard ceiling. I like to call this mass delusion the Matt Jarbo Effect.

Love him or hate him, Charlie's strength is that he's always been an incredibly likeable guy. Even back when he was just a disembodied voice he still came across as a friendly guy with a goofy sense of humour, so it's really never mattered what the content of his videos is; people will turn up to see him riff on whatever he feels like. This has the unintended benefit that he can actually bring way more attention to stuff like the ActiBlizz controversy than a dozen videos of Jim spilling his spaghetti could ever hope to, but if that's of no interest to you there's a million other things to pick from (personally I only really watch his Moist Meters and slapping commentary, these days).

This model is what Jim desperately wants to copy --as evidenced by his failed attempts to break into amateur wrestling, streaming, toy reviews etc-- but he simply isn't appealing enough, and nothing he can do will change that. The hard reality for Jim is the only reason he became as popular as he did was because he took a relatively unique approach to tackling an already niche topic; there really was nothing else quite like The Jimquisition at its peak.

And peaked it most certainly has, which is why I maintain even without his troon meltdown Jim would never have cracked 1-million subs. He got as big as he was ever going to get and I think he knows it and that's a large part of where his resentment toward the JQ, gaming and his audience comes from; probably what prompted the trooning too.

He knows it's all downhill from here and he fucking hates it, but he also knows he has no other options at this stage in his life. It's an unenviable position to be in.
