1. Mr Based is a creep. Like the way he talks and acts is so unsettling and repulsive.
2. He is a hypocritic. He will subject Josh to the TTS donations but the moment a TTS donation mentions Julie Sumnicht he will mute that donation the second he realises what topic they are bringing up.
3. He's a shameless eel using Josh for clout. The man is like nearly 60 and his begging an alcoholic autistic guy for selfies to boost his social media.
Some of the points you said about Josh are correct. He isn't a toddler and has responsibility for his own actions. And yeah, if he didn't decide that getting constantly blitzed was all he wanted in life then by now he would he a properly respected content creator
That doesn't mean that the nearly 60 year old creep that's broadcasting his alcoholism is a good guy. Mr Based is a lolcow himself as well in my book.
None of that matters to me or my enjoyment of watching this kid ruin his life.
I don’t care he is a creep; you have to been one to do what he does.
Every thread on this message board is about a creep.
I’m not saying he is a saint; I’m just amazed about how many new accounts here are attacking him when he is giving us such great content. It’s like Reddit 2.0 in this thread.
I thought the farms had thicker skin; I guess I was wrong.
People universally hate it when someone come in and tries to 'direct' a lolcow. Joshua would be just as entertaining if he was drinking and getting up to shenanigans without a creepy 50 year old loser pushing him in whatever direction he likes while probably stealing money from him.
Because despite constantly complaining of living paycheck to paycheck he has also been spending the night in hotels throughout New York. He gets money from TikTok, he's getting money from Mr Based, and he is getting money from his grandparents.
For a long time he was living with his grandparents but recently Josh was overheard on a phonecall saying his granddad doesn't want him back. I suspect there was some violent incident that happened but who knows.

Absolutely. This site needs to modernise because some of the best cows are on TikTok. Some of us are going to have to bite the bullet and get a TikTok account. This site came around on Larson but they were pretty late in my book. To be frank, Joshua is universally recognises as a lolcow at this point and one of the biggest ones at that. It's honestly kinda embarrassing at this stage that the main forum for documenting lolcows doesn't have a proper thread on him. As of writing this message I'm writing an updated version of the OP in Google docs. It's probably gonna take a couple of days. In situations you have to put in the work in yourself rather than waiting for someone else to do it. I strongly encourage you to be the one that puts in the effort. I literally joined because I couldn't find the Joshua Block thread and thought it was only open to registered users. I was stunned to find out he has not graduated into being recognised as a lolcow.
At this point this site gonna have to if it wants to be the lolcow discussion forum. Less people will join this place if kiwi farms only has a thread on half of the lolcows out there.
This is the problem with older sites like this, they are stubborn and refuse to try and catch up. I see this on places like 4chan where it's usually 30+ millennials who don't want to engage in that content, which i get but in some aspects missing out

I disagree. Best lolcow content has always been instigated by outside influences.
Come on dude, you rather have the shit content Josh puts out or the stuff Based produces?
Because the only good Josh content is either when people are fucking with him or it's extremely candid.
Once again, we are focused here on Josh and him drinking himself to death. Yes Mr Based is a degenerate. We get it. We don't need to here everyone's opinion on the asshole.
People def don't need to be attacking him on Josh's behalf.

bad take. he stopped streaming on tiktok because viewers kept calling and harassing the bars he frequented. without based, he'd be uploading his little tard videos meandering around new york providing no content whatsoever. some rando would upload a video of him slumped over blasted in a corner every so often. maybe for a random lolcow your point applies, but josh needs poking and prodding to get content and entertainment out of him.
based knows exactly what he's doing and its hilarious. josh hasn't been this entertaining in a while, based's stream gets the best content out of him. i truly don't understand what based's past has to do anything with the current content, or why anyone even brings it up. he wasn't convicted for the prior case everyone loves bringing up, so the evidence wasn't sufficient. plus he used to be an attorney, do you really think someone who used to be an attorney and rake in a million+ a month would incriminate himself live?
the content is free. it costs nothing to be entertained. i struggle to have empathy for some tard who has no regard for his family, is racist, homophobic, xenophobic, and enjoys abusing animals. (pro tip, autism doesn't excuse any of those things)
Two days ago Pyrocynical posted yet another video on the Joshua Block situation. Gives a general update on how things are going with Joshua and he reveals that he is considering meeting Joshua while he's in New York.
Meanwhile, Josh plans to celebrate his 23rd birthday in Pueto Rico.
With much speculation on just how Joshua will end up making an ass of himself this time.
Horrorcow. Josh Block. @world of t-shirts Joshua Block 2001 and his acolytes. Wrathful, autistic, alcoholic, racist with a failed music career
Meet Joshua Block
Joshua Block (better known as @worldoftshirts, or simply Joshua) is a severely alcoholic autistic 23 year old former content creator. A Tik Tok creator who initially got a following posting harmless content. His stitled yet polite demeanour is a far cry from the rageful alcoholic he would become. The story of Joshua is a two part saga. I'll call these two parts BA and AA. Before alcohol and After Alcohol
Here is a comparison to illustrate the stark contrast.
BA Josh
AA Josh
Three years ago @auxcord did a pretty good write up on what Joshua was like during his BA stage and I've decided to keep it because it contains lots of information about Joshua. The first four parts are Aux's work and the last part was written by me. The style of the AA section will be written differently since so much has happened in the three years since OP originally wrote this.
The tale of BA Joshua
Part I: Who is Joshua Block?
Joshua was born on August 7th, 2001 (Link / Archive), Despite being born in 2001, he graduated in 2021, likely due to his autism. He went to Patchogue-Medford High School, where he was an active athlete participating in track and field as well as cross country (Link / Archive). All signs point to Josh having a relatively normal and happy childhood, due to his wealthy neighborhood and frequent trips to New York City. He lives with his grandfather Vincent G Lisa (Link / Archive), after his mother Laura Ann passed away in 2015. Her obituary indicates that Joshua has a brother Jacob, and a father, Allen.(Link / Archive). At some point Allen Block would desert his family, sending Joshua to live with his parents. To this day not much information can be found on Joshua Block's Dad or brother.
His first recorded online presence is his website, worldoftshirts on Cafepress. It's a very bizarre selection of tshirts that he likely designed. (Link / Archive). His designs are strange and childish, and very obviously made on a basic image editing application. It's just harmless fun for Joshua, and it obviously makes him happy.
Spoiler: Shirts Part II: Joshua Joins TikTok
Joshua's calm suburban life was about to change. According to The Tab article linked earlier (Link / Archive), Joshua formed his TikTok account "two years ago". He quickly rose to fame, inexplicably, gaining 400,000 followers within a year and currently sitting at over 2.1 million. He is followed by one of the apps most notable creators (and fellow potential lolcow) Dixie D'Amelio. Why? According to KnowYourMeme, it's due to his eccentric yet awkward personality, and generally unpredictable and unfiltered content. (Link / Archive) Let's take a look at the content that Joshua likes to upload. This is one of his earlier videos, and demonstrates his strange personality and tone of speaking, where he Enunciates Every Word Very Clearly.
Spoiler: Example 1Like many other creators on the app, Joshua liked to make short, humorous videos using popular sounds. If you're not familiar with TikTok, how it works is any user can upload a sound (usually a song or short audio clip). Other users can use this sound to dub over their videos, often leading to "trends" in which millions of bored teenagers copy one another's videos in an attempt to go viral. Here is Josh's attempt at being funny.
Spoiler: Example 2
Joshua liked to make vlogs, short videos that show him doing challenges or other strange tasks.
Spoiler: Example 3
He also likes to dance. This video is reversed for comedic effect but you get the idea.
Spoiler: Example 4
He's most well known for going to crowded places in New York and singing "Empire State of Mind" by Alicia Keys. He uploads one or more videos like this every time he goes on vacation to New York City, which seems to be INCREDIBLY frequent.
Spoiler: Example 5
Joshua became extremely popular due to these videos. But as his following increased, so did his controversy. 2021 has been marred by drama for Josh, his fans, his detractors, and the curious onlookers.
Part III: Joshua Becomes an Enemy of TikTok
As Joshua grew, he began to get recognized in public. This led to his first large controversy, where it was discovered that he was charging $50 to make a video with him.
Spoiler: Joshua charging money for a video
TikTok teens were outraged at this, and he began to receive many negative comments. His comments were completely filled with references to this until he announced that he generously decreased the price to make an in-person video with him to $20.
Spoiler: angry tiktok kids
Next, Joshua began to outrage the Gen Z kids even more by repeatedly decrying mask-wearing and Andrew Cuomo. He made quite a few videos like this and the response was obviously very negative.
Spoiler: Based Josh
Many users have filmed videos of their interactions with Joshua, where he is always cold and stiff, and he is frequently mocked in the comments.He is frequently clowned on in public and private, and he has both detractors and defenders.
Part IV: The Fish Incident
This incident has transformed Josh from a TikTok sideshow to potential lolcow, in my opinion, and made him significant enough to deserve a mention.
A few days ago, this video surfaced. It quickly resonated throughout the World Tshirts fanbase, sparking discussion on reddit, tiktok, and youtube. It is an unknown person filming and talking to Josh as Josh throws a fish on the ground, stomps on it, picks it up, throws it again, stomps on it some more, and overall just abuses the corpse of this animal.
Spoiler: warning: kinda disturbing
This sparked immediate and widespread outrage. Over the last few days, TikTok users have been raging at him in his comments. These selected comments are all from a single video.
Spoiler: tiktok children being mad
He has made several chaotic livestreams in the last few days where he talks about the incident and is very flustered. He freaks out that he's going to get cancelled and lose his TikTok money. Youtube Link to one such video
Spoiler: archive of video
A day ago, someone called in a bomb threat to the hotel that Josh was staying at and got him kicked out.
Spoiler: Joshua kicked out of hotel
This kid has been a personal lolcow for a long time now, but with this fish incident there has been an absolute deluge of lols coming from him, from his stans, from his detractors, and from the tiktok community as a whole.
Part V: Trip to Cancun and the end of BA Josh
In November before his 21st birthday Josh decided to Visit Cancon. There his story would take an unexpected turn as he would meet the love of his life while on vacation. What's her name you may ask?
This would prove to be one of his most popular videos. Joshua's monkey brain took the hint. Getting drunk and making an ass of himself got him more views than anything else he ever did. Joshua looked forward to his 21st birthday with great anticipation. Little did anyone know it but this was a key turning point. The moment BA Joshua died.
The tale of AA Joshua.
Over the last two years since he turned 21 Joshua's drinking has led to his disintegration into a full blown lolcow. How bad of an alcoholic is Joshua, you may ask?
A blood alcohol of .46 would lead to alcohol poisoning symptoms for non drinkers and infrequent drinkers.
Speaking of Larson. Him and Josh have a rivalry. Here is Josh's hit against him.
As you can imagine this amount of drinking will change a person completely. How many you ask? Well..
JOSHUA AND RACISM
Over the last couple of years one characteristic of Joshua that has emerged is his fondness for saying nigger and bizarrely, for a 23 year old man, negro.
At this point in time Joshua has clearly established a problem with saying racist shit even in public.
He's also been caught referring to people using the magic word grandpa taught him in public as well.
He will even scream racial slurs in public while threatening people
[
Of course at this point you may wonder why he has gotten away with screaming racial slurs in public without having the shit beaten out of him? He must have Indianna Jones level plot armour.
Ok, there was this one time
But still his plot armour is nothing sort of a miracle. Stay tuned because if you are scratching your head about this now wait until you read the next section.
JOSH AND ANGER
One thing you'll quickly learn about AA Joshua is that is a fucking angry young man. How angry can he get?
Joshua has become known for his irrational and confrontational behaviour when upset.
You just understand. Joshua has no filter at all and will just say whatever he feels like in the most straightforward way possible. He will start threatening people the moment they say something he doesn't like
Honestly, I get it now Joshua seems like a really tough guy. Wouldn't want to cross him.
But if you want to stay on the Captain's good side there is one thing you must certainly not do.
Do not touch the captain's hat!!
or you will be cursed. It's his most prized possession
Should you dare touch his hat the captain will curse you. He will utter his immortal curse at you? What is it you ask? The autistic screech
He's known for being quite the screamer.
You may notice that he likes to threaten people with lawsuits a lot.
Joshua and catchphrases
Joshua as you have seen by now has an incredibly pronounced case of autism and one of the main tenements of autism is repetitive phasing. Here's a tier list that someone else created.
His most iconic catchphrases include
“I'm suing you”
“What does BANNED mean”
“I live paycheck to paycheck”
“I've only been to seven countries”
Based on the way he uses these phrases you'll wonder if he even knows what they mean? This video is a prime example
Personally, my favourite is “I've only been to seven countries” . He is so bitter about it.
He sincerely believes life has dealt him a foul hand because he has only been to 7 countries and that is so hilarious to me.
Despite all his complaints about living paycheck to paycheck he will spend tremendous amounts of money for minor reasons. Case and point.
This is a perfect segue into the next section.
Joshua and Entitlement:
By now you are probably getting the impression that maybe Josh is a bit of a spoilt brat who lives in a bubble where he can just do tik toks for a living.
You are absolutely correct in that assumption. All Josh does is wander around New York making tik toks but seems to think it is a job. He also thinks he can talk to anyone however he wants
It's a frequent issue that has only gotten worse in recent times
Joshua and Hygiene
Joshua has become infamous for his poor hygiene in frequent years. There's been numerous instances of him vomiting in public
He has been known to walk around wearing the same clothes and even urinating himself
To give you a estimate of how bad his personal hygiene is I'll just leave this here
Josh's musicial career.
In the early stages of his career Josh got his fame by doing a terrible job of lip synching tik tok videos. He still does it
But now he also does DJ work as well. How did he learn to DJ, you may ask? Isn't being a DJ a job that requires technical skill as well as music knowledge. Where did he learn those skills?Well...
He didn't..
Truly pushing the boundaries of music further.
Conclusion
In summary this thread has been a long time coming. While at the time OP originally posted this there were doubts that he was well and truly a lolcow but in the last year he has proven to himself to be truly deserving of the sonichu medallion. I don't have it on me so a thread on Kiwi Farms will suffice.
@Giles Corey It's not bad so far but you should definitely include details on Michael Quinn and other Josh orbiters like Mayor Flanagan, Brooklyn Yeti, Mr based etc who enable Josh and are probably the reason why his alcoholism is this bad. Josh' livestreams were also a big source of milk since it showed josh completely shitfaced, throwing up on people, getting kicked from bars etc. Quinning is a pretty good source of Josh and Quinn content.

Thanks. I kinda avoided Quin because he is a whole other can of worms. My plan is to get Josh out of Prospering grounds first so the focus will be on him first.
Joshua shows off the liability waiver for his tour experience that he most definitely wrote himself.

His daily IG Ahoyt photo is the only steady thing he puts out that's any good. It's an unfiltered picture that is slowly showing is decent in full blown alcoholism. Outside of help from Mr Based or the random street video, Josh is painfully boring. I do find it funny people try to tell him slow down though the stupid boat metaphors are wearing thin. I know he read the comments which makes him ignoring them that much funnier.
Theories on why he isn't streaming :
1. He doesn't need the money and will return once his finical situation become more dire.
2. Quinn paid for the trip to PR with the condition that Josh stop streaming with mr Based.
3. Grandpa threaten to kick him out if he keep streaming (highly doubt that but I know his grandparents are not found of the guy.)
4. Josh just doesn't like streaming and doesn't want to do it. It's ain't worth the headache.
Hope once money becomes tight he goes back but til then we have the normal BS to keep us at bay.

I think he stopped because people kept calling the bars he would go to and cause issues. His main bar was a place called McSorleys and I am pretty sure him getting banned from there was the catalyst that got him to stop streaming. I think he's at the point where if anything prevents him from drinking he'll choose the bottle over it.
Not a bad rewrite but you should unspoiler all of those videos, delete Link/Archives if you don't have any, and if you do, do Ctrl + K; Put the URL on the top and do the word "Link" or "Archive" at the bottom, and add more screenshots of evidence of Joshua being a cow. Remember: show, not tell.
People universally hate it when someone come in and tries to 'direct' a lolcow. Joshua would be just as entertaining if he was drinking and getting up to shenanigans without a creepy 50 year old loser pushing him in whatever direction he likes while probably stealing money from him.
