I like how his “alt text description” relies on describing what something looks like in terms of other visual things. “Ah yes, I, a blind person, know exactly what you mean by ‘those How to Draw Manga sorta vibes.’”

 

[Kosher Dill]

Does anyone have the lore on what it was they supposedly did?

I think they hired someone despite knowing they were cancelled by anti-Gamergate people in 2014, or something like that. Whatever it is is something only relevant to people like Jake who never stopped living in 2014's most retarded corner.

Anyway, I can't believe Jake actually got someone to watch Kamen Rider OOO with him. Wonder how much FREE PIZZA he had to shell out for that.

In the early 20-teens, pre-Gamergate, Stardock was sued by a former employee/crazy bitch who leveled accusations of harassment, hostile work environment, etc. against the company in general and Brad Wardell specifically. The Kotakus of the world of course assumed his guilt and made a great deal of hay out of the accusations until it came out that she was in fact just a crazy bitch and the suit was dismissed with prejudice.

Punch line: as a condition of the settlement she was forced to draft an apology and have it published on Kotaku.

Anyway, Wardell understandably developed some antipathy for the gaming press as a result. When Gamergate became a thing he had a bit to say on the subject. He didn't go any kind of full retard like Mark Kern, but it was still enough to make him irredeemable in the eyes of people like Jake.

He's also mad at Stardock for some reason, apparently their CEO did something cancel-worthy. Stardock are one of the last good pro-consumer studios, stands to reason the Usual Suspects would turn on them. Does anyone have the lore on what it was they supposedly did?

Brad Wardell and Stardock have been mentioned in the thread before, Jake seems to have been holding on to this particular grudge for quite some time.

Cultural irrelevancy.

I don’t even know who won the Super Bowl. How am I expected to know what’s happening without the hard hitting reporting of busty investigative journalist Violet Hargrave?

This is just me kinda rambling, I don't think there's any particular moral at the end of this beyond a general "be excellent to each other" sort of thing, but I dunno, indulge me?

Nazis have an extremely limited playbook, and they never really deviate from it. They sort of have to because a huge

part of being a nazi involves turning off your brain, actively denying reality, and just kinda become some weird wretched thing that subsists on propaganda and basically religious worship of Big Strong Daddies. Changing plans based on changing circumstances ends up being quite a bit beyond them.

Part of that short playbook is to pick out the weakest target they can find, and then focus on peeling away any sort of support they have, getting them to be as absolutely weak as humanly possible before really properly going after them. So OK more random life advice, if nazis go after you, you can

frequently get them to just leave you alone forever by just absolutely no-selling it, not blinking, completely ignore them. They don't really know what to do when that happens because they have terrible threat assessment skills and will pretty reliably assume they bit off more than they can chew.

That does of course work better if you're like, a business or an organization or whatever. Not so useful if say, their Big Strong Daddies say it's OK to try and murder trans people and you happen to be a trans person. But even then you know, there's no deviating from the playbook, so if they want to

go after a struggling trans gal or whatever, they're still going to start off trying to peel away all the support they can. Try and get you fired, cut off supply lines for food and medicine, generally paint you as a monster to all your friends and general supporters, etc. Again, not trying to be too

topical here, but this is something that might feel familiar if you look at news headlines from the last month. The playbook is the playbook, same tactics apply whether it's one person or, oh, whole demographics of an entire country. Just scales based on how hyped up they can get each other really.

Now me, I have this basically automated response where when I see someone under attack, I'll rush in there to defend them, and if the attack gets more intense, the more stubborn I get about it.

That's pretty damn good news for anyone I personally come across when they happen to be dealing with nazi

efforts to hack away all their supports. Between me being stubborn and me having their playbook handy (literally even, a few years ago they were just literally posting an written guide as a training resource on publicly accessible websites) it's basically impossible to hack me out as a support. Now,

objectively, my support isn't actually worth that much. There was a point when I actually had some pretty good connections, lately I'm more just a sometimes quite mouthy trans gal who will stick her neck out a bit to shut down disinformation campaigns and give moral support and such, but again nazis

aren't terribly bright, have no real threat assessment tools, go completely off huffing propaganda fumes, so quantity and quality of support don't super matter, just, oh hey we're trying to isolate this one person and this other person isn't flipping or deciding it's not worth the effort.

Great for

anyone I'm backing up. A bit less great for me, since the playbook kinda goes "try to recruit that support to team evil, if that doesn't work, if that doesn't work, scare'em away, if that doesn't work, uh, go after that support's supports?"

So I've kinda been just collecting grudges from various

failed low-stakes nazi operations against various random people and organizations and such and there's just kinda this constant cloud of pathetic little twerps trying and failing to tear me down. Confuses a lot of people who see it, and I just have to explain no, most trans women don't actually have

to deal with this level of weird stalker background radiation, don't worry about that if you're considering transition or whatever.

Here's the thing though, and this is kinda what all this was the preamble to- Spending the last decade actively refining my nazi twerp defenses has kinda messed me up

a bit psychologically. I've had that tip I mentioned about not blinking when under attack drilled into me so hard that I just kinda... no longer have the ability to show vulnerability properly.
Spent a bit too long not saying anything when I had messages flooded with pet gore and my face kinda stuck

like that. So if I have a real serious issue like a major medical thing or I end up going a month without the ability to buy food, I still keep a pretty cheery demeanor and tell anyone who asks I'm fine.

Obviously that leads to some unfortunate results, like, you know, having to ration out a jar of

peanut butter and a bag of rice for a month sometime last year.

The other thing though is that now that more and more people are unfortunately getting on my level about having to worry about nazis as an active threat I frequently find myself talking to people who are kinda having their first proper

freakouts over this stuff, and they... kinda cannot handle the lack of energy I'm bringing into those conversations. Like there's a particularly awful story making the rounds right now of a trans person being murdered, a cis person I know ended up reading it and hyper-fixating on it. She comes to ME

to freak out about it (general life tip- don't turn to people from minority X for consolation when you're crying over something aimed at that minority and not yourself?) and my natural response at this point is, "Oh? Yeah that actually happens a lot. Try not to think about it, maybe watch a movie?"

And yeah, aside from clearly impacting my bedside manner in this particular conversation that really shouldn't have involved me, it's a little disconcerting to notice that that's just kinda... where my natural armor class is at this point even in a private one on one conversation.

On the other hand

it's not like this has become LESS useful to me recently as a survival tool. I suppose if you live in America if you can get yourself to a similar weird psychological state, I'd have to encourage it for the time being.
Would still be nice to be able to ask for help or be honest with my therapist tho

By the way, Jake's reaching deep into his old material now. That "incels in cells" joke is from October 2014.

Well, unless he thinks clicking to dismiss the moderation prompt is admitting to a crime.

 

[Next Task]

Jake seems to have been holding on to this particular grudge for quite some time.

Troons in general hold onto grudges and slights for as long as they can. But Jake in particular holds every grudge and slight against him strongly. He cares more about his hatreds than he does anything he likes.

 

[Kosher Dill]

When the rubber hits the road, Jake's grudges seem to be a mile wide but an inch deep. On his gaming streams he'll happily play games by his murderers while making the occasional catty remark about how they murdered him. It seems to me like the main reason he collects grudges is because without them Violet's character sheet would be completely empty after 10 years of play.

 

[Next Task]

Oh yes, this is also very standard behaviour for troons, progs, and Jake. If they truly believed what they were saying, they would be fighting back more than just bitching on BlueSky and claiming someone is trying to kill them. The most obvious ones being Nazis, and also how they talk about being stalked and having their life threatened due to what they're doing online, then make no effort in the slightest to protect themselves from those threats.

Help Jake not become homeless! Or wait each month for years as he still needs help to not become homeless! He can't do anything more than design a controller that won't work and games that won't sell.

I think he needs a personal cause to rally around to be part of the group. And he's got nothing, but he would like to participate. It's like Lenny showing up on a lawn mover in that Simpsons episode where Homer starts a motorcycle gang.

It really was bad for his already-stunted development that when he finally made some """friends""" it was entirely in the context of grifting. A lot of his problems go back to the fact that he considers CON his baseline for "normal".

Also: in case anyone's wondering, "The World Gets Stranger" has not been updated with all the free time Jake now has after killing Just The Facts. My Level 1 nonbinary sex worker will remain Level 1 forever.

How much do we know about his childhood and school days? Jake has been tested and judged not to be autistic, so I'm theorising that a lot of his weirdness has to come from his upbringing. How can a neurotypical(?) child end up so socially stunted and afraid of the world, while nursing revenge fantasies against imaginary bullies? Other similar cows have explanations for their behaviour that Jake lacks. Lou Gagliardi is a comedically stupid and belligerent ogre of a man with a great many psychopathic traits. Colton Lochmann is likewise extremely stupid and a mess of personality disorders. Clawshrimpy is actually autistic. But Jake isn't autistic and doesn't seem to be a sociopath. He's not very bright but he's not a gurning retard like Lou or Colton. He seems to be mentally equipped to function fairly normally but has gone down a completely different path. Baffling.

The best I can come up with is some kind of schizoid personality disorder, which would perhaps explain his paranoia and self-isolation, as well as his delusional thinking. But personality disorders are rarely innate, it's usually nurture, not nature. So the question remains, how did Jake get so badly fucked in the head?
