I definitely think Jim hates his audience. They're like rabid, mindless animals who regurgitate old memes constantly. Keemstar is a good example. Jim tweets out about anything and Keemstar will be there like a fly on shit.
QED, the replies to that message.
5 or so messages making sure I know Jim did nothing wrong.

Multiple people suggesting I have something wrong with me for thinking Jim doesn't like his fans.

Multiple people telling me about those few good Superchats that made spending those dollars really worth it.

At least two people saying that the cringey superchats people paid Jim to read were actually just trolling.
My favorite was the one where an elite troll who paid fifty dollars during the "It's over" stream saying he has autism and can't tell if Jim is leaving or not because he can't understand sarcasm.

Though this is my favorite and it resonated with a lot of people. 15 big likes.
Idk what this guy thinks Jim stands for, but I can promise he's wrong.
I also don't know what he thinks I stand for that Jim is antithetical to.

Or apparently, me saying anything bad about Jim is a vie for relevance -- even though what I said was on a personal stream and a warmup to what I was going to record, and I don't think my 'relevance' comes from my shitty ass streams.

What's really interesting is I say anything about Jim and it gets shared. This post will be screencapped and sent to Jim. No one should care what I think about Jim, we're not friends, we're not friends of mutual friends, we do nothing together and our streams are not a zero sum game. I hold zero influence over Jim and he holds zero influence for me. But, because people hold such a religious reverence for the guy, saying anything about him is blaspheme. This is also Dame's second attempt to instigate some sort of feud.
Jim doesn't bother me. What bothers me about basically every e-celeb I've ever spoken to is their obsession with Jim. They want to know what he's doing, what he thinks of everything, who he likes and who he doesn't like. Any extended conversation with any person who streams has at least one mention of Jim. It becomes a speculation game where people start wagering what his takes are, whose side he's on, who he likes and who he doesn't like. Why has he gone silent? When will he come back??? How will he come back?????????? What are his REAL motivations and what does he want to achieve??????????????
It's just fucking pathetic, celeb worship is fucking pathetic, e-celeb worship is extremely fucking pathetic, and if you're getting mad at me for saying it's pathetic you're an especially sad person.
I think most of them are hanger-ons from the GG days who didn't even know who the fuck Jim was before then, and never really followed anything before it because their focus was 'funny snarky man blows de ebil feminists out and keeps winning, le epic troll man'. Why wouldn't they worship him? The rest of the hero squad has been - by this point - doxed and exposed for the grifting, opportunistic e-whores they always were; irreconcilable because there's a name and a face that is forever chained to their internet identity. The same people who lick his boots are the same people who thought Ralph was some free speech martyr that would rise from the ashes and kindle the flame of a new Youtube competitor, or believed Sargon was going to save the west. They all keep saying it was stupid and gay, but you can tell how hard each of them are trying to bottle that lightning and refuse to acknowledge that they were only ever one note. Their orbiters are like the brainlets who treat wrestling arcs as if they're tangible events in reality and become so part of the joke that it's almost kind of pathetic; even when they squabble among each other, they're all basically the same.
Jim is literally all they have left. He has no face, no record to put that face too, and - in their eyes - no presence in their merely mortal reality that would bring him down to their level enough that they can autistically ride his every misstep and flaw. Anybody who ever debates him almost always goes 'well you should dox yourself, why do you hide behind anonymity Jim' because they desperately want what he has. He is their Savior, but he can probably see - especially these days - what kind of a big headed faggot embracing that will turn you into. Hell, he could probably see that a long time ago.
