"Jim" / James Augustine née James Patrick O'Shaughnessy / Mister Metokur / Jim81Jim / Internet Aristocrat - His autistic videos and the gay beta "sweetie squad" who mindlessly suck his cock.

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.

It just amazes me. No one's accused Jim directly of anything. No one has a problem with him making money.

People just commented that the timing and justification seemed odd, and that's enough to get the usual defense force out in full damage control mode.

Seriously, you guys need to stop getting keyed up any time people raise questions about the guy. Not all of us here are out for his blood.

I just find it odd he's selling merch now, when for years he'd say if you wanted a Metokur hat you should "buy a black hat and draw on it with marker".

Plus, he doesn't make videos anymore.

This comment might bump elbows a bit with some people, but I don't think it's wholly fair to call Jim a hypocrite (not saying he's above criticism though) for saying merch is stupid five years ago and is now selling merch when in the time between those two points is that his channel got demonetized, and he's been dox(xxxx)ed. I can't imagine he can exactly hold down a career with so much stuff linked to his real name, and his fans and paypigs want merch so he's giving it to them. The situation and position he's in now compared to five years ago are pretty dramatically different.

I think that's probably the only consequence of someone having their address leaked online is the job aspect. A lot of people are afraid someone might harm them or send pizza's or swat them; when those things are so rare they might as well never happen. At first I thought the merch was kinda gay too until I thought about it a bit more.

because he's got a cult of personality bigger than emperor Cusco and fans more autistic than a brony-themed gay pride parade. I don't think this thread is any spergier than any of the other spergy threads on this spergy site, but there's certainly a group of diehard fans sucking dick at every turn. Those dick-suckers aside, the general opinion seems to be that he usually makes some pretty entertaining videos, with the caveat that some are really stupid, and he's got a tendency to lift content without credit and only cover the safe, money-friendly, topics.

maybe speds spilling out shekelchats is the price to sell out, maybe throwing together some truly retarded "metokur merch" is just a boomer bid to pay for a content-laden lolsuit. Either way seems we'll need to wait and see how it develops before knowing which

Ok, it seems the hat are actually difficult, you have to agree to some sort of agreement on the size and stuff and send to teespring the design on the hat to see if its feasible to put on the hat. The approval time ranges from 1-3 days.

So, Jim planned to do this within the week or so, and made the merch line in an afternoon. there's still nothing to suggest that Jim might have planned to merch for months and set up monty as an excuse. Mostly I can see it that he made the merch line for an elaborate joke as a material for the stream as a follow up joke to the I've been doxxed, give kickfund me money...

Also, you guys, buy my fucking lewd drawings on a hoodie merch

I don't regularly read this thread, but I just came here to make fun of everyone here defending/purchasing the marketing of an internet persona. Wear your BASED Sweetie Squad (OMG so edgyyy, get it SS hahahaha) hoodie in public and hope normal people that have jobs serve you at whatever carb riddled sugar shack you stuff your mouths with.

In come my replies.

An interesting part of Jim's thread really has very little to do with Jim.

It sort of reminds me of the boomer meme "How did a generation that grew up on South Park become so offended?"

It was never making money that I took issue with. It is the way he did it this time that is suspect. Maybe less suspect and just more surprising. That said, I can remember multiple occasions where Jim said that he did not sell merch but I do not have an example of him saying selling merch is bad, at least since the beginning of IBS.

There was the little controversy after the IBS Apocalypse about Jim merch in Tonka's merch shop, but Jim never said selling merch was shitty, he said Tonka selling merch with Jim's "face" on it was shitty if Tonka was still selling it AFTER they had a falling out. However, prior to that Jim said he didn't give a shit if Tonka sold the merch with his "likeness" on it during the lead up to Bloodapalooza.

That all said, I am going to buy a hat. Jim is a funny guy, and his content and the content he has shined a spotlight on have had me laughing through a hundred shifts of work, with my earbuds in and my boss asking what the hell is so funny.

And someday, when Null makes t-shirts, I hope it is a picture of him coyly covering his mouth with one hand while stuffing some fatty full of food with the other. Because that will be the legacy of the Farms, awkward laughter and big asses. I will wear the fearless feeder T-shirt to an all-you-can-eat buffet and attract the most bovine of females. I'll buy 2.

As for Jimbo, apparently his legacy will be a legion of fans who are willing to go the extra mile to prove they love him. It is a strange phenomenon, that the slightest of criticism will trigger anger, logic and feelings instead of just silly bants.

However, with most of the funny streamers and hosts in this "community" laying in a pit of filth of their own creating, making no money with no audience, their world having turned on them and left them drugged out, sucked out, f'ed out and looking for a handout, I think I understand the reaction to the criticism of Jim. When someone goes down now they go down hard; no one wants that balance tipping and pouring it's weight on Jim.

Jim can take care of himself, though. As we are standing here looking into the horizon, it is as if Jim can see the end of the road. Whether it is an end in emphysema or mesothelioma that is coming his way or just the end of people who say what they want being allowed on the internet, I do not know.

More like 5 month. He was making his "just make your own, don't be a faggot" comments during wrestle-wrestle debacle, haven't been keeping up with him since that much. Jim did do 180 on whole lot of things, from paypig.me to shitty merch, from mocking DSP for shitting up a bunch of low effort content for shekels to becoming one, from mocking people who are using their illness as an excuse for being a lazy shekelgrabbers to becoming one. I don't give that much of a fuck as long as he covers entertaining topics but Jim-shielding brigade that goes nuclear from even a slightest criticism probably deserves it's own thread.

I get that, I just didn't initially consider the angle I mentioned of it's kind of stupid to moralize monetization; if you can't get a decent job and have the option of selling merch, you may as well do it.

How about a thread about people who repeat everything after Null without putting much thought into it? Like when Dispatch cried and masturbated on stream and tried to fuck with Ralph and Andy IRL, but people would gladly suck his dick for autistic graphs, and only when Null called him an a-log, boom, now their eyes have opened. Or when people reach peak autism trying to prove that pretty much alive wife of Peter Coffin is a real doll, because Null posted some model that very distantly looked like her? Maybe some people just don't want to take a word of a delusional larper to some value.

My only concern was people getting pissy over a guy trying to make some money, nothing else. And the timing and justification, you want to pose as your only concern now.. That just sounds like some back pedal from me. Justification? The faggot probably wants more money. Always smelled a bit off to me when folks try to tell others not to throw money away. At least with merch people can get some in return for the money. If i was to make any comment about how people spend money, that would be it.
