2020 Jim be like

OK, on one hand that's some decent advice that's probably pretty useful to some people, but on the other hand what the fuck is wrong with people that they're printing out and framing DMs that some YouTuber sent them

Bruce Campbell in his biography said that he got a letter from a fan once. Apparently. the fan was really depressed and was getting ready to kill himself, but he started watching Campbells shitty cowboy TV show "The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr." and it snapped the fan out of his suicidal thoughts.

Everyone's rock bottom is different and what gets them snap out of their death spiral can often be small and stupid to everyone else, but was what they needed to hear at the time.

The appeal people have in Youtubers, or in Jim specifically, is the same thing that happened to Mystery Science Theater 3000. The show with its Dad jokes and long-form content made fans feel like they were hanging out with their buddies while cracking jokes about bad movies. It's simulating social contact without actually meeting anyone.

That's why the appeal can seem so obvious to fans and really stupid to everyone else. If someone doesn't feel the need to hang out or isn't in a funk, the idea of listening to a middle-aged man cracking jokes for two hours sounds incredibly lame. But for some people it lets them unwind and forget about their problems.

Maybe someone knows the actual psychological term for it. I've just noticed what I call the MST3K effect in a lot of new media. Its the main appeal people had in watching hours of lets plays on Youtube and following twitch streamers.

I think this is one of the reasons Joe Rogan is popular. I put on live stream discussions whenever I am alone to kill the silence. Jim and Joe both have this effect

Is that worse than having a picture of our dear leader on your desk? asking for a friend....

Turns out the real cancer was the celebrity worship all along.
I suppose it's kind of a nice gesture, showing that people appreciate him for more than being a youtube shitposter, but it's still a weird thing to do.

Well, at least they're not trying to buy his bath water...

There are probably people who would buy Jim's bath water

 

[CORRUPT🍀]

Jim is a very easy guy to like imo. I think we'll be feeling his influence on chan style docu seriesa for while to come. Lots of people make their own style but more still just try replicate.

I have been needing to administer myself an enema, recently

Im passively remembering old videos n streams of people ripping on jim for selling hats and wondering if that went to his medical bills more so then cigs and alchohol.
I highly doubt he'll do or get a GoFundMe like the "we are no 1" guy when things start to get more serious, but as someone who who had two immediate family members die from cancer, id buy a fkn hat. Its not a pretty way to go.

It's possible. The Dwarf Fortress guys are making bank but they launched the steam version, which you have to pay for, because they don't have the money for one of the brothers's medical bills.

Thanks for the public service announcement, drama queen. If you had posted this on any other thread, you would've been mocked, but for some reason, most idiots here are biased towards this tard raging potato nigger. He doesn't deserve any empathy. I don't give a flying fuck about how "horrifying" his situation is or what his autistic "coping strategies" are. I'm going to point and laugh at him because I can. I don't see a problem with that, considering he did the same with other people, but apparently it's now a problem to you spergs since it's James that's being made fun of. For someone who made a series called Hugbox Chronicles, he created the biggest fucking hugbox with his own mentally ill fandom.

Are you one of the furry liberalists that Jim made fun of on Twitter back in the day?

Just to acquire a proper estimate of how butthurt you are, how long ago did he make fun of you since you're still mad about it today?

No. It was for the house.

The effects of a society where a quarter of all children are in broken homes does not do well for its health. A lot of people never had a father figure, and when a substitute comes along they get attached.

Eh, I don't know. You'd have to be really messed up to pick some internet-personality you'll never meet as your surrogate father-figure.
And these lost souls usually flock to incel-herders, like Coach Redpill or Jordan Peterson.


Besides, Jim has mentioned or insinuated that he doesn't want kids, on several occasions.
Which makes sense, I guess, given his diagnosis.
Why bring children into this word if you know you can't be there for them?

 

[grump]

Anyone know if Metokur really does anything of his own anymore? For the longest time his own channels have been inactive and I've only been able to find reposts of his materials. Then only posts of him dropping into other streams. Then after having his primary banned all he seems to do is post on his Twitter occasionally.

Doesn't seem to be active anywhere else or producing new material on Youtube or Bitchute or anywhere.

 

[Joe Swanson]

He apparently has cancer, though even before that wasn't outputting anything.
His thread pretty much catalogs all he does these days
