Just so damn odd. i've seen countless videos he's added himself of his wrestling tournaments (wrestling "plays" since they're fake or whatever you'd like to call them) and he always wore these ridiculous skin-tight outfits with his full obese manlet body on display for all to see.
Am I missing something? Don't psychologists agree that gender dysphoria is a necessary part of actually being trans? Feeling painfully uncomfortable in your own skin? Yet here are all these 30 year old men who've never shown an ounce of gender/body dysphoria/dysmorphia in their lives coming out in droves as the most hideous ladies imaginable.
Fuck you woke twitter. Fuck you fuck you fuck you. I blame you for this.

Trans is whatever they say it is, because self-identification. There's no such thing as fake trans. You either are trans, or you are not.
The only meaningful distinction that passes any mustard is "autogynephile" or "homosexual transsexual".

I'm not saying there aren't any fags out there that have ulterior motives. I'm sure there are, but since there is no way to distinguish those and the end result is virtually identical, there's just no meaningful distinction to be made.

Sadly that probably is his best option if he can't halt his decline. He's childless, so he doesn't have kids to provide for. At his weight likely means he's only has about 20 years left anyway. Normally for a guy who's only 37 he would be best saving to start a small business to circumvent his unemployability. That might be worth a try but would probably just be burning money given his current lack of business skill. That said, I still see him trying to hold onto his internet fame. His ego means he'll probably keep going long after he should have quit if other cows are any indication.

I legitimately thought he was in his 60s before I started reading the thread.

I remember someone earlier in this thread joking about Yahtzee being the winner of Uncivil War since he got married and started a family. Here's an extra point in his favor; Yahtzee is the same age as Jim Sterling but looks about 10 years younger. Obesity really does age you quick.

This latest nearly 30 minute long video is just Jim getting on a high horse Bitching about people reccomending people challenge themselves with harder difficulties in games. It's something so fucking just petty that it's an achievement in itself the videos even as fucking long as it is. The "CAPITALISM BAD/PEOPLE THAT ARE UNSUBBING ARE JUST TRANSPHOBES" bits and slowed down boglin ad filler might have something to do with that. Everything about this feels so fucking fake, and the segment at the end makes me wonder if Jim himself was responsible for that weird shit on various wikis claiming he invented the term "Chungus".

Correct me if I'm wrong but this is about streamers getting made fun of for playing on easy right? If that the case, jesus get over i.

Over these past few years there's been this thing about making an Issue™ out of negative interactions online. Yes some people are going to be assholes to you, they are going to call you a faggot loser for playing Doom on easy, who cares, move on, not every online interaction is going to be positive and it's not articles on kotaku and fat fucks like Sterling that are going to change it.

>ever since the transphobes shit themselves and fled the YouTube en masse

Good to see he's still beating that particular horse. I guess those transphobes are also clairvoyant, Jim, since you were steadily bleeding subs for at least 4 months before you first appeared on the JQ dressed like Dame Edna.

 

[Judge Dredd]

Since when does announcing yourself as transsexual actually helped one's YouTube viewership? I'm asking unironically, since I was lead to believe that the exact opposite is true, no matter one's political leanings. It's basically displaying to the entire world "I'm seriously mentally unwell, so maybe you should keep your distance." A kind of psychological aposematism.

It gets him a short term spike as the news is passed around woke circles who come out to congratulate him, but that audience won't stay around.

As I said before, I think in case of Jim it's a combination of hating who he is and where he is in life with peer pressure. Hopeless attempt to escape from himself and find a group that will accept him.

Thank you very much.
Upon reading much of it this is the Sterling thread with honorary mentions of TB in the beginning because he was bigger and was the type of big-headed type A whacko people liked to mock after he'd invariably go way too far with his ego. Things, which while not good and worthy of ridicule, also confer some benefits by being associated with good traits as well.
Sterling is just a whacked out weirdo who fell deep into a fetishistic subculture. One he probably fell into as a kid using the internet to escape his miserable upbringing. While TB would tilt between providing a good service and getting too proud for his own good with Sterling his lifestyle seeps into everything he does now.

Is Jim dead yet or is this fat fuck still digesting grease and hormones just to repulse himself into existing?

 

[Judge Dredd]

Is Jim dead yet

Only on the inside.

 

[Dumpster dived waifu]

Only on the inside.

Are you sure only on the inside? The outside looks like an embalmed corpse that escaped a funeral.

Ironically, it's the kind of pump-and-dump scheme he constantly lambastes short-sighted video game execs for using.

If he has any self-awareness left then he knows he has zero job prospects outside of his current profession. The wrestling stuff is dead in the water because he has neither the skill or likeability to make it professionally in that sphere. He can't get into breadtubing because his political hot takes are even more milquetoast than the bottom rungs like QuintonReviews. His consumer advocacy in gaming niche is his only option, but he hates video games now so that's out. Getting a normal job is obviously out of the question because of his size and internet footprint.

So what's a fat fuck to do? Troon out, go really hard in the paint for a few months to generate as much sympathy bux as possible and hope you make enough to last out the remaining miserable years of your life. Honestly if I was in Jim's position I'd probably do the same, because really what are his other options?

TBH, if I were in his position, I'd continue the consumer advocacy in video games schtick. Even if I hated video games, we're not talking a massive time investment each week to shit out a new 10 minute Jimquisition. Some people work 40 hours a week at a job they hate and they're paid nowhere near as much as Jim to do it.

In addition, to mix things up, I'd develop a business model of starting shit with small censorious, litigious, asset flippers (e.g. the Digihom business model). Basically try to become the Keemstar or Leafy of indie game devs, since the Digihom saga was objectively the most lucrative for him. As long as massive Patreon bucks keep rolling in, you could probably just consider the small claims court fees a "business expense" (obviously not for the purposes of filing your taxes). I'd probably still LARP as a troon (minus the permanent bodily harm) to deter YouTube from nuking my channel like Leafy.

I don't believe a pro se litigant has ever recovered millions of dollars in damages (even if they won, by some miracle). While all lawyers will advise you not to talk about the case during litigation (to be on the safe side), pro se litigants are generally so retarded/incompetent that they wouldn't really be able to capitalize on it even if you did. I would post real-time Jimquisition updates about how retarded each filing was and LARP as my favorite wrestling character of the week while doing it. The gamble would be that the drama would be more lucrative than the legal costs. Jim would have fun since he likes drama, likes to play dress up, and do stupid skits. His views would remain high since drama sells. Worst-case scenario, his small claims legal expenses start eating into his Patreon profits, then he could just cry the victim and do a fundraiser. He could even take a few months off and coast on his milquetoast Jimquisitions.

The main issues I can see with your plan is the sheer amount of work it would take is leagues beyond what current lazy Jim is willing to do, and there's also always the risk he accidentally runs into a secret millionaire who has the legal backing to absolutely ruin Jim for fucking him about. Yes, odds are most of the time you're gonna get retards like DigiHom, but I personally wouldn't fuck around with the US court system just for YouTube views; not to mention you'd be inviting constant DMCA strikes upon yourself, and your channel would probably get taken down every other month.

I used to compare Jim to Spoony, but I'm not so sure anymore. Spoony's problem is he's just a lazy, self-pitying cunt who won't do the work; literally all he had to do was maintain a schedule of his usual content and he'd probably still be making decent Patreon bucks today.

With Jim I get the feeling that isn't the case, because there's only so many times you can say the exact same thing in your Jimquisitions before people get bored and stop watching and, judging by the fact his non-JQ videos rarely break 100k views, I think similarly you can only make the same jokes about lazy asset-flips or AAA live services so many times before people have had enough. It's at the point now where any one of us could look at the title of a Jim video and reliably guess what 99% of his talking points will be.

I doubt we could ever get it, but I'd really love to know how many of Jim's nearly 8,000 Patrons actually still watch his content, and how many are just woke enablers or people who forgot to cancel their 2 bucks a month. I feel like that bubble's gotta burst sooner or later.

Fair point. Whether or not making content based on ongoing legal drama in the US court systems is viable is definitely subject to debate. The closest analog I can think of would be Rekieta who seems to be flying pretty close to the sun in regards to Weeb Wars (e.g. he might be called in as a witness or try to author a brief somehow - he's already been mentioned in the filings). However, he's a lawyer himself so he might be more confident in his knowledge of exactly where the line is. Whether or not he goes the way of Icarus remains to be seen. Waiting until after each lawsuit to post a drama video might be safer but capitalizes less on the drama while it's fresh.

Constant DMCAs might require adopting a Gunt/DSP paypiggy model, where your hardcore fans just follow you to your backup channels. Which reinforces your point that this business model would be a lot of work/stress. However, I still think it's better to take a risk on content that has a potential to be lucrative rather than stagnating like Spoony. That's sort of how efame goes: you need to reinvent yourself and take risks to stay relevant.
