Has been asked a few pages ago and there have already been a lot of good answers, but for my part, I think being friends with Laura Kate Dale for years probably didn't help. Not gonna claim a grown man was groomed, but you know how it goes.
He's certainly got the "thighs like cottage cheese" of extremely fat women, I'll give him that.
Shortest way I can sum it up is mid-life crisis upon realising he has no prospects except doing the Jimquisition for the rest of his working life.
I actually think the opposite is true: Even if Jim had kept his fashy look from peak JQ days he'd still be bleeding subs. His current look distracts from the fact his content has become utterly insufferable and aggressively repetitive; not to mention he's massively reduced his output from multiple videos a week to 1.
Transgenderism is a helluva drug.
I don't think he'll ever truly fade from the industry. Kotaku is always hard up for names that'll give them some sort of credibility.
Jim is a quitter. Just look at how he ran away from the USA because no cunt liked him there. I think he will just pull a Dobson, fuck off and cry in a corner at some point....then make a Twitter alt so he can sperg 24/7, die of diabetes at the ripe old age of 45 and the only people that will show up for his funeral will be his collection of rank ass Boglins. On his gravestone will be the words FUCK KONAMI. Konami won't notice that a moldy old Bong has died and will continue to rake in huge fucking profits. Heaven will be forever blocked to him and Hell will not take him. He will be cursed to forever wander the purgitory that is Yorkshire.
Sterling is a narcissist. He needs an audience and he needs people to know it's him. The only way he's leaving the Industry is in a pine box.
A normal person would be, but considering just now anal jim is about cooomsumerism,
The YT numbers don't actually matter because he gets his income from patreon and has since he went independent, his fans seem to be very die hard so I doubt we'll see any drop in patreon contributions for a long time but I also doubt he's had the foresight to invest his money so that when patreon does inevitably dry up he'll have something to fall back on instead of needing to look for a job as a middle aged, unfit troon.
To that end it's worth noting that "James STEPHANIE Sterling" has recently gotten a name-drop in The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe - one of the recent fads in streamer/lets play content - for the glowing review Jim Sterling did of the original game. You might have expected this publicity from such an acclaimed title to translate into an increased sub-count, but it seems he's just too obnoxious for new viewers to stomach. Leveraging it into clout to push at the likes of Kotaku and so on would also be a smart move for Jim if he wanted to repair the various industry connections he's damaged and lost over the years, if only for the good sense of mutual job security.
No. Jim Sterling wouldn't have over 600 pages of this thread devoted to him if foresight was something he exercised.
I misread that as "if foresight was something and he exercised", and your point was still valid.
Finally. Some good newsLadies and guntlemen...we got 'em.
