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

[Brain Problems]

Has he ever outlined what should replace capitalism? Is it just the typical "communism but nobody has to work"?

The future of fully automated luxury gay space communism will allow, nay COMPEL Jimbo to just keep shitting out half-assed videos that are stale by the time he's finished "editing" them.

The thing that makes me think it is just him seeking to be dehumanized and humiliated and not AGP personally is he is stripping himself of a humanizing gender and calling himself "gender trash", he's calling himself "James Stephanie Sterling" putting the fact he's not a woman first, while also declaring himself not a man, he allows himself to be cucked, he does humiliating things publicly, and is just straight up a degenerate who revels in being called out for it and calls attention to the hate he gets pushing more and more of his private life into the public light to get more. He's also long has had a history of dressing up, there's plenty of evidence out there of him hinting at being into puppy play and pony play, and we've seen how many times he's done some gimmick inhuman character. He's always been into being shocking and edgy, so the bar he needed to pass for anyone to notice was set a bit higher than most, and he'll need to keep pushing it higher and higher to get his fix. I fully agree we'll see pornographic material popping up once he crosses the crest of this hill and decides his patreon money is no longer worth not embracing his degenerate life style and goes all in, consequences be damned, and he runs straight into the most dehumanizing shit he can.

I'm open to the idea that he gets off on humiliation but I think there's some overthinking going on. I think he's actually just another run-of-the-mill socially maladjusted nerd with severe (and justified) self-esteem issues, and some tertiary degenerate fetishes that Current Year and social media fosters into him being even more of a ridiculously repulsive person.

When you're a fat ugly loser like Jim for so long you internalize that thinking so it's easy to see some basic disassociation and coping techniques manifest alongside what I imagine is a cripplingly pathologic sense of agreeableness in real life. Hence shacking up with the other land whale, getting cucked, getting dumped etc.

Makes sense that his ePersona is/was a blowhard dictator, talk about an obvious fantasy.

 

[Druveer]

Charlie has a personality, Jim has a persona. That's the difference in their popularity. One is genuine one is performative.

 

[Burning Fanatic]

I remember on a stream someone mentioned Jim Sterling to Charlie in chat and he said something to the effect of "I won't say anything about Jim because I don't like saying mean things about YouTubers and streamers who haven't done really awful shit already." Which is the most "I have nothing nice to say, so I shall say nothing at all" thing I've ever heard.

@AngryTreeRat For some reason I can't quote nor reply to your post, but I wanted to ask if you know what stream it was from. Even if it's only a short, passing mention, I'm curious to hear Charlie's response on stream.

Jim's analytics at this point look less like he's making content for an audience and more like he's landing a plane.

It's lowering faster than his dick after he started HRS.

Ahoy has uploaded 2 videos in 2021 and yet, on average, his monthly views aren't much different to Jim, and he absolutely blows him out the water in terms of sub gains.

tfw people would rather listen to a dude talk about explosive barrels in video games for 20 minutes than watch a gay rodeo clown rant about Capitalism for 10.

That's because every Ahoy video is not only a joy to listen to, it's a fucking work of art. I love his hyper minimal style and the effort that goes into it.
Jim and Ahoy are night and day and the difference is clear passion, an appreciation for aesthetics, and talent.

Ahoy also doesn't inject his political and social views into every video. He could be an Antifa supporting pronouns in bio danger hair, or a neo nazi for all I know, as you'd never guess by his videos.

 

[Prince Vegeta]

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.

This is absolutely a power grab. The whole woke movement is. That is why they use Marxist themes and use words such as 'justice' and 'equality'. To borrow their vernacular, that's a dogwhistle for people who want not just to grab power from the powerful, but to then use that to exact revenge upon those they imagine wronged them so they do not have to take care of their own self. They become ideologically possessed. Because at their core, these people have not been taught basic things such as delay of gratification or responsibility. They have not 'grown up' in blunt terms.

Source: every damn socialist uprising and most damn philosophers of the past 2500 years I am done writing monographs never again I hate everything but let me continue my mati rant for two more minutes...

You can see this process in Jim. He's getting older, his life is no longer moving forward. He's lost momentum and the things that were charming on youth (passion, chaotic energy hot takes and dumb opinions) don't look good on a middle aged man. People don't like it on middle aged people, because it correctly indicates the person has not matured and thus cannot be trusted with responsibility. A grown up would reflect and realise it's time to adjust course. Focus on family and self improvement and long term goals form. This takes effort. It's work. People like Jim recognise that they want that, but don't want to do the work. They instead blame external factors for their failings. They become resentful. That's when ideological creep happens. Jim is not a full convert yet, in my opinion. But he could be. If he doesn't take control of his life.

 

[Andrew Neiman]

Compare and contrast James Rolfe:

Oh, this is charming. James Rolfe has always struck me as a decent and sane person; I'm glad he's got some good things going on in his life.

True, but that's my point. Ahoy's research, production and charisma are so good he can take even the most boring or niche of subjects and spin it into hours of fascinating content, whereas Jim can't even hold people's attention for 10 minutes when he's talking about far more explosive and/or current topics.

I've rewatched Ahoy's Brief History of Graphics series multiple times, and it's always entertaining. In contrast, I can't even get through a modern JQ on 2x speed just to make fun of it because it's so miserable to watch.

Stu "Ahoy" Brown isn't always correct (his series on guns leaves a little to be desired for gun nuts, but the editing and scripting make up for it), but his effort always shines. And he's not afraid to go out and not only do research, but also investigate things. His video on Polybius was a masterpiece of journalism that clearly took months to finish, the kind of shit you just don't see from journos, much less videogame journos, anymore.

You can tell journos don't put the same amount of effort in since didn't he basically trace the entire Polybius myth back to a single shitpost that every publication had been playing Chinese Whispers with for over a decade without ever bothering to verify?

I recall a similar omnishambles with the 'Markovian Parallax Denigrate', which Barely Sociable was able to deboonk simply by reading the original article right to the end.

 

[Utterly Disgusted]

sorry if already done. searched "uncle fester" but got nothing.
put as much effort into this shop as Jim does to pass

 

[AngryTreeRat]

Hey @AngryTreeRat I think you might as well go and make full-blown YTPs of Jim, since you're at it anyway. One problem is Jim doesn't move that much, and don't even have some animated infographic to compensate, which clearly marks PragerU as a superior show. But I feel that voiceclips are exploitable.

I was never much of the YTP type, if I had inspiration I might do it, but the first step to this process is watching a lot of Jim. I am frankly just going to slot this project into whatever free time I have when I don't need to prepare TTRPG stuff. Since you know, as much as I love making a mockery of cows, I prefer having a fun time with friends eating pizza, rolling dice, and punching building sized monsters so hard that they suffer critical existence failure. I have noticed in the past that if you jump far enough back you get more unique content, so there might be more to work with in the older years for a YTP.

@AngryTreeRat For some reason I can't quote nor reply to your post, but I wanted to ask if you know what stream it was from. Even if it's only a short, passing mention, I'm curious to hear Charlie's response on stream.

I want to say it was sometime around the beginning of the summer. During one of his YouTube watching streams. It came up in response to Charlie saying he hadn't played some game or another because he wasn't feeling up to it.

You can tell journos don't put the same amount of effort in since didn't he basically trace the entire Polybius myth back to a single shitpost that every publication had been playing Chinese Whispers with for over a decade without ever bothering to verify?

Both of those are good videos. The Polybius one introduced me to Ahoy. Some weird gaming myth or bit of gaming history will drag me out every time, that or some niche aspect of game design.

 

[HissingBastard]

But why? What is it about humilation that makes him and the other degenerates coom? I'm not insane enough to fully understand this horseshit so I don't get what Jim finds so great about people being disgusted by him. Normal people would be absolutely horrified and be scared of the consequences of being humiliated. What does Jimbos ugly subhuman cumbrain see what sane people don't?

Attention. Jim (and most other troons) are attention seekers by nature. To be humiliated, someone must be paying attention to you. Someone must feel strongly about you. They have extremely low self-worth, to the point where they can't fathom positive attention or admiration, even in their own coomer fantasies. A humiliation fetish ensures them the attention they crave and validates their disparaging beliefs about themselves.

 

[Wormy]

You can still inject it into your videos and it still work, just dont' be so obnoxious and dwell on it. Or better still, try to make it funny.

Civvie 11 drags alt righters via Cancer Mouse, but those are brief little silly footnotes, not lectures, and actually funny.

 

[The Fatriarchy]

Well, no, it's still not funny, because the entire purpose of that, more often than not, is to strawman a wide group of people he knows nothing about.

 

[Kevin Grumbles]

Hell, Civvie triggers the kool-aid head crew with it too, as by their rules you can't even MENTION any of it because someone might learn the truth go off the deep end into misinformation. His little side tangents could go either way as far as I'm concerned, as stormfags who've lost the plot deserve as much ridicule as those who are blind to the shit they actually get right.

The main thing is he does his little nonsense via a side character, not as himself with views he's demanding you ascribe to, and by the time you think you might want to skip whatever the little mouse might be on about it's already over and the monkey is back to dancing for your entertainment instead of derailing the entire video into stuff that has zero to do with what he titled it.

To Civvie's credit, he's also been using the cancermouse gags less and less. Most of the time it's just "OH HELL NO YOU'RE NOT TAKING PART IN THIS VIDEO", which while the joke has gotten old at least minimizes the annoyance.

Civvie's does cut out a lot of low effort stuff like this, which is why he hasn't done TNT yet. He explains in a patreon only vid you can view here:

Cancer mouse is a way for him to poke fun at it without it being a direct joke.
