It have to be weird being Jim. It's not many that gets this kind of treatment before you are actually dead. and also not knowing what you're dying of.
I do actually understand why people question the validity off this situation. Since everything we know is anecdotal information presented by jim himself. If he didn't remove himself from the internet in many weird ways previously. This would also be a much easier to believe.
What I don't understand, and what I hope you can help me understand is the following. After retiring from gamer gate because of "muh principles over grifting" (or most probably not wanting problems in his real life with internet drama) He returned to the Internet, now with merch and donations activated. When he returned it was explained that his health had collapsed and he wasn't able to work any more. Are we still on that mystery decease? Or is this a new one?
I see 3 likely scenarios.
1. it's just Mr. Metokur the online persona that is dying.
2. He has known all along that he has a deadly decease. And has just obfuscated the facts about what is actually wrong with him. Because he doesn't want his death to be boring.
3. He just happened to get a rare unicorn decease where the test results and symptoms are unique, who no one is unable to diagnose. Which is also super aggressive and deadly.
He might be telling the truth and I might just be in denial. But what I am being told is pretty incredible. And from one of the greatest trolls to ever live. I hope it's not going to far suggesting that we might not have been told the whole story.
