Jim Sterling / James "Stephanie" Sterling / James Stanton/Sexton & in memoriam TotalBiscuit (John Bain) - One Gaming Lolcow Thread

It is as you said, if he was just joking about taking estrogen, he would be caught up in the "troon community" drama machine. Now, if he is really taking it and using it as a flex for being "punk rock", even if it to be taken as a joke, that seems to be acceptable within their rules I guess.

Point is, Sterling seems to be going full troon now, how till the name change or cutting his balls off?

Great news he will never have a child, Jim would be a terrible dad.

This made me think about how Burning Man started out with a whole thing about "radical self reliance", where you had to bring all your own stuff and rough it in the desert with everyone else for like two weeks, and now you've got billionaires just kinda landing their jets there and joining in and there's no real protest against it.

I guarantee you that most of the people who made Burning Man what it was have long since shrugged at what it was become, left, and started a new Burning Man type festival that nobody has heard of yet, but might in five or ten years.

Burning Man was always about doing your own thing, the people who start a movement about roughing it in the desert for two weeks while doing whatever artistic shit in the nude just because you can, are hardly the kind of people to complain as they stick around to helplessly watch it burn.
They just leave and start again.
Movements that prize the DIY, ground-up, individualist, roughing-it style of life and art can never be really killed because its not about branding. Whatever it's called doesn't matter. Because it's about individualism functioning with and alongside a collective, the movement itself doesn't matter as much as the individuals in it, and the individuals will always find a new way to keep living the way they want. It's kind of beautiful. Something something Jeff Goldblum, life finds a way.

And that's kind of where it stayed. It's a way to rebel against your parents when you're a teenager in the 80s, going against your parents idea of ideal life coming from Leave it to Beaver. The problem is, we're a solid 40 years out from the 80s, and the things Jim considers rebellious is the same kind of shit billion & trillion dollar corporations agree with. Everything went full circle, and now conservatives embracing the nuclear family and calling out Black Lives Matter and Antifa for what they are is the modern form of rebellion.

Every few generations will find a way to rebel somehow, because nothing is perfect. The nuclear family is a great ideal that many people and situations can't live up to (and many who can but just refuse to because they're Rebellious(TM)). There are women who get knocked up for welfare and cut their baby daddies out of their lives--that's fucked up and on them. But how do you aspire to the perfect nuclear family if its the reverse situation, where your boyfriend gets you pregnant and doesn't want anything to do with you or the kid?

The US Leave it to Beaver lifestyle was a reaction to the extravagance of the 20s and the hardship of the 30s, and influenced by the growing wealth of the 40s due to profiting off the war machine. But it refused to answer the question of where all those pesky blacks fit in into society if we were going to be civilised and not own other human beings anymore, even though white people were the ones who brought them into the mix in the first place (yes the Africans were sold by their own people but Europeans didn't have to buy them and transport them)... it didn't answer what all the Asian immigrants and the people who originally lived there were supposed to do. It was an incomplete model and it got too full of itself and imploded.

We see the same thing happening now: the leftist model is incomplete because it is too focused on remaining progressive. They only have a journey in mind, no destination. That is an incomplete model and it is leaking members like a sieve as more and more individuals find a place they would like to end their journey at, and eventually it will implode on itself too. We're seeing the early stages of it now.

The next thing we replace it with will hopefully be better than what we currently have AND what we used to have, and then maybe society can relax a bit. I think everybody's getting tired of all this constant change.

Western leftists will always take over stuff like this because to them left=progressive. Anything that is anti-establishment is fodder for them. Doesn't matter what the establishment is, either, the point of progression is that you keep moving, otherwise you are no longer progressive.

That's also why they have gotten more and more extreme. If they find a point where they want to settle down, they can't or they lose their identity. (PL, this is what happened to me, I had very left-wing values and then in the later half of the last decade I saw my peers get nuttier and nuttier. It was a combination of them leaving me behind and me just noping out of it. Traditionally-speaking my views are still quite left wing, but the left we have at the moment would probably call them fascist these days...)

This is one of the root problems, there's too many people for whom progressive activism, going out and waving the signs and showing "I AM ANGRY!" and showing everyone else how progressive they are, is akin to their hobby, it's like people going to conventions to cosplay and showing off their latest figure purchases to show how nerdy their are.

In other words it's all just fashion, it's just something to do, but it ironically hurts the actual cause of progressivism because if they keep this current train of bullshit going the fascist backlash is going to be swift and brutal and maybe when Neo Nazis are kicking in people's windows and bashing in people's faces they'll go "gee, maybe we should have been a little more rational about things"

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.

The only surprising thing is that he's managed to hold on for this long.

...but, for how much longer?

Punk was pro-DIY and anti-corporate before marketing teams saw a way to make a buck or two.

Basically Punk has the weird distinction of being taken over and co-opted by both the commies and the capitalists for their own ends.

I hate to see what punk and similar subcultures like goth/emo/alt have become. They were all built on a rebellious, anti-establishment sentiment, which I fucking love, and I like the aesthetics and music too, but now that rebellious spirit has been assimilated into the Borg-esque corporate establishment. Now they're just consumerist sheep who shadowbox against a fake establishment that doesn't exist while bleeting out the same lines as the Governments and corporations that rule over them. Even old, true punks have drank that kool-aid.

I just hope they're right about how devastating climate change could be. It seems like that's the only thing that could realistically ruin the global economy and international finance nowadays.

I honestly thought that the taking estrogen is punk line was Jim actually being funny for the first time in a while. It turns out he was, but unintentionally.

Yeah, this all the way. It actually took me quite a while of reading through the thread and stuff to make sure that it wasn’t just a faggot being a faggot. Turns out it IS a faggot being a faggot, but not in the intentionally “in on the joke” funny way I assumed. He is dead ass actually taking estrogen lmao.
The “already has big tiddies” joke has been made (and played out afaict), has anyone made a shrunken cock and balls joke yet?

Let's put it this way, kiddies.

He's fat.

He's ugly.

He's over 40.

He's a relic from a bygone era when most of his old fans have probably gotten over him and realized how much of a spedophile he is.

For fuck's sake, Quarterpounder is getting more traction than this butterball. I honestly think Jeremy's leather hide is actually military grade kevlar that's been tried and tested.

Punk was basically another way to sell degeneracy to the masses. The 80s version of the Hippies. A few people took the music and the fashion seriously, but to most people, it was just a way to piss off their own parents.

I just wish modern day popular subculture had some creative aspect to it, punks, goths, hippies or whatever had their own music and aesthetics but troons just have a legacy of hubris and disappointment.

Who do these middle aged big chunguses of men think they’re fooling when they go on their horse piss lady pills? They aren’t going to be transformed into some supermodel or an “androgynous uwu cutie” like they want, it’s just going to make their already useless dicks retreat even further into their fupa rolls.

(I only have a vague idea of Jim but I liked Total Biscuit on the 40k Dark Heresy roleplay series he was on just before his death, no idea he’d gotten so brainwashed before he carked it, though honestly I’m not too surprised)

Some trannies make pretty good music, like Ayesha Erotica. And that one troon who made that song about making out with a girl in a bathroom, that turned out to be a rapist? Idk. but trans music is definitely a thing.
