Speaking of Jim's supposed hypocrisy. Every time shit like this that's supposed to be damning against Jim starts, he'll just address it jokingly like it's no big deal and people just stop giving a shit eventually. Examples are the time when his feud with Sargon was at its initial moments, that time his dox got "leaked", those many moments with the IBS folks, his InternetAristocrat days, and all other spergy moments he's done at some point within his internet career. He's been called a hypocrite before, and he's a hypocrite now. The difference, however, is how he always owns up to it. All this bitching will calm down in a few days or weeks, and everything will be back to the usual. Sure it would be brought up from time to time, but that would be just like any other stupid thing Jim has done.
For me, I just don't give a shit and no, I won't be buying a hat or shirt (unless some exceptional individual can guarantee the quality of it, then I may buy it just for the novelty of it). Anyway, Jim's been a hypocrite before (when he made a Patreon), and now he's just being his usual self. I believe the issue against him now lies on the fact that some people have placed him on a pedestal, believing that he's a guy with a strict virtue or code, when he's actually just some guy who we may sometimes agree with or find amusing in one way or another. And any person with at least half a brain will actually start selling low effort merchandise if there are people willing to buy it. Money is money, and it's very convincing.
