[IAmNotAlpharius]

What do you think when you hear "punk"? Here's Jimbo's answer:

Wonder if he's about to troon out, since he's listing they/them pronouns

This plot twist was not unexpected. I am excited for the angry gamer gurl saga. Jumbo just reeks of femininity.

 

[Pickle Inspector]

Jim seems like he's a perfect case for a stroke or heart attack - Morbidly obese, wrestler and now estrogen.

Also I can't believe he made a rant about Gamergate in 2020.

(Kim Justice pictures)

The whole troon thing is a little weird but Kim Justice is a decent YouTuber, you don't see many people on there do long videos on subjects, plus they've talked before about how the divide between the older type of trans people with dysphoria who don't believe they are actually women, they just want to pass as one socially (Which Kim and their partner sees themselves as) and the new woke variety but they said they don't like to publicly talk about it because they think it gives ammunation to TERF's or something like that (I think it was their partner who brought it up and Kim agreed).

 

[CyberCringe]

Oh, you sweet summer child. You may have seen 2 Girls 1 Cup, but you still have your innocence yet.

Can I be the one to shatter it? I dare not. I know not that I have the fortitude to link you to any of the number of videos in which a butter-fed, barn-raised hippopotamus--with a face of shining silver and clad head to toe in an entire bolt's worth of purple spandex, strained to its utter limits--launches himself at an enemy. The enemy is not worthy of discussion here, but it shall be noted would be invariably slimmer than its foe.

The legend had humble origins. At first, 'twas only a harmless dig at the copyright protections surrounding any attempt at a fan's loving recreation of WWE wrestler Stardust. The only option was parody, and so this option was taken, tho' Sterling could at any time have seen the wisdom of refusing to leave well enough alone, just this once, and sparing the eyes and minds of the young and ill-informed from the horrors that were, as we know, to eventuate.

But lo! So James willed it and so the parody must happen. And then! unexpected by anyone, the parody took upon a life of its own, even until it had gained its maker some little renown, and not a few independent wrestling gigs. It took the amateur wrestling of the Americas by storm, and legend has it that they still do not know what to make of it. The parody had become reality; reality, a shocked and neutered bystander, felled by this turn of events in a manner from which it could never recover. Kiwifarms and its people could only stand with reality, alternately to comfort it and to lol.

As to the rest, I will only tell you this one thing: his name.

Sterdust! Pray you never see him coming, that you never have cause to shout it; for it does not enrage him, does not weaken him--no: it does nothing but empower the beast! Brought forth by its own hype machine, fed by fans and recognition, thus it shall continue.

Will it die before its maker? Will he ever be laid low, shunted far and away in both time and place from the assaults upon the eye and the imagination (to which nothing was left)?

As quoth Poe's raven: "Nevermore!"

Tl;dr it's not a story the Jedi would tell you, maybe some enterprising Kiwis have some good gifs.

This is worse than I could have imagined.

 

[Horrors of the Deep]

Now that I'm thinking about Jim Sterling, he's one of those fucking guys that comes up in work conversations when I'm talking to "the nerdy guy". It's always about how they used to watch this guy Jim Sterling and he was super funny and those were great youtube videos or some shit. It's always in the past tense too, like he died. Maybe in a way he did.

He always comes up in polite work conversation though. Him and fucking MovieBob.

There was indeed time (before Digital Homicide saga ended) when Jim was great drama generator and one of the best VG industry reporters who could shit on big studios and talk about serious issues while swinging a dildo bat from Saints Row (I think it was from Saints Row?). At the time he didn't like to sit on that dildo bat off camera though.
Jokes aside, you can talk about same shit only so many times until it gets seriously old.

 

[Mr. Manchester]

People respect both of those massive buffoons?

Yea, it's real fucking weird. I think if you make being geeky or a nerd a core part of your personality it's required reading. I have a distinct memory of being roped into a conversation about how his gold dust knockoff character was super funny or some shit? There have been three different people that have brought both of them up though.

Maybe it's just the line of work I'm in, I don't know.

 

[karz]

makes sense that sterling is taking HRT given that he's a cuck. maybe he wants to fulfill his dream of becoming a """real girl"""

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

Anyone here who thinks Jim will either 41% or dies of a heart clot is optimistic. Western medical treatments this days are designed to let the absolute worse of the population keep on living no matter how much abuse they cause to themselves (and others).
Unless Jim Kurt Cobain's (and he is too cowardly for that), expect to have him outlive the forums.

 

[Ghostse]

Ol' taking notes from Andy Kaufman lookin' ass nigga
Ol' finding this one weird trick that lets him touch women lookin' ass nigga
Ol' 24 wins in row, all by forfeit lookin' ass nigga

I didn't even think Jim was that bad. I barely watched him and what I saw of him just looked like inoffensive, bland smug oldfag type content from a bygone generation, that I could once consider myself apart of. But with the amount of popularity he has in these niche communities, and his troonifiaction, I think this is a apart of a bigger problem in the Gaming community as a whole. If you look on twitter, the word gamer isnt even used for actual gamers anymore, but rather has been co-opted by stupid twigger faggots for their own benefit. If someone calls themself a gamer, or calls other people gamers, its usually the social equalvient of a Yellow Star on their body for them being a retarded faggot.

This is why I support euthanasia in most circumstances. Clinging onto your loved ones will just be more of a pyrrhic victory, if anything. It's really just saddening and will ultimately result in more harm than good. I'm not saying you should pull the plug willy-nilly on those with treatable conditions, but sometimes it's better to accept then pretend there is something there.

 

[Not Really Here]

God, his twitter description is "nb pansexual gendertrash", fucking adult man past his 40s talking like a 17 year old tumblrina.


What even is his wrestling stuff? A podcast?

He's legit bro, he even beat Tonkasaw for the YouTube Championship belt.

This is really a big part of why I dislike modern medicine. It's basically reverse social darwinism at this point.

 

[Night Terror]

i feel like i was probably one of the last holdouts from the old destructoid/escapist days where he was at his best, somehow i kept on coming back week after week even as the rot set in and the show transformed from a mid-tier internet show with a few salient points about the game industry into a fat retard whining about capitalism in lipstick
then i sort of realised i havent sat down and watched an episode of the jimquisition for like two months. combined with the sudden tranny shit, im done. already unsubbed

 

[Haramburger]

Is there a medical reason why a non-transitioning man would be taking estrogen?

Virtually none. You can die from not having ANY sex hormones in your system, so you could make the dumb conclusion that if your gonads have been stomped so hard for so long that you no longer get natural testosterone in your system, estrogen could keep your ship afloat. But then why not take testosterone instead? This would be the typical logic of a liberal though.

There is no fucking way a doctor perscribed Jim any sort of hormone treatment that could increase his risk of a blood clot while he's that fat of a fuck.

You underestimate british healthcare lmao

As someone who basically stopped paying attention to Sterling when he left Podtoid, it's been really interesting being slowly re-introduced to him through null's streams and now this thread. I can't put into words just how jarring the contrast between legitimately hilarious edgy boy and depressed, trooned-out semi-pro wrestler is.

He doesn't live in the UK. and what a random pot-shot to take at liberals. Take a relevant shot at your chosen target or just chill.

 

[Radical Goodspeed]

So Sterling, who seems like he had... issues back in the UK that definitely weren't unrelated to his current state of mind, marries some southern pigsow to get a green card, dumps her and moves north with his butt boy to make his fetishes his job (Pro-wrestling and GAMES JOUNALISM), has multiple breakdowns when reality makes that an impossibility, and then crosses the tranny line once and for all.

Tale as old as time

In any case, I knew I wasn't crazy. Adding lipstick should have given it away.

 

[MeltyTW]

this might be a minor point but at some point in your life you need to realize for better or for worse youve moved past old ideas you used to like and maybe at one formed and shaped you, theres nothing punk about taking estrogen, thats just a neutral fact, maybe at some point in his life he was a punker trashing things and rebelling as a teen and chasing more hardcore trends, not a life style i approve of but something not at all embodied by crippling yourself to become a non passing woman. its something youve moved past get over it.

its not even an echo of the idea like how some will relate to symbols of vikings and past cultures because its not even rebellious anymore

 

[Nobue]

Maybe he is trying to become his wife, so he would have sex with Tyrone instead of her.

I'd rather have sex with Tyrone than his wife.

 

[Krimjob]

Jim is so transparent about how he feels. I said this hundreds of pages back, but more than ever it's obvious how he regrets making video games his life. Problem is that The Jimquisition makes so much fucking money and its his sole source of notoriety. All his other endeavors are total failures. He has tried for years to make something else he can do full time, but has had no success at all. He wants to be a wrestling guy so bad but his wrestling shit is just horrific and his current audience just does not convert into a wrestling audience.

He's outright saying he doesn't like video games. He's said it in multiple shows. His drug abuse and fetish lifestyle is a coping mechanism for a deep dissatisfaction with his life. I feel bad for him.

It's extremely obvious he hates it. I mean fuck, the guy doesn't even list his video game work on his social media, just crap about wrestling and pronouns.

That being said, the man deserves zero pity. He has plenty of money and could easily just start a proper business if he wanted to.

With the HRT I predict we'll get some massive spastic behaviour from him in the near future. He is already mad about video games making his career and he is already a tad unhinged. Combine that with HRT and I can only imagine how bad this will get. Of course, that's fantastic for us.
