The wife just took one look at the thumbnail on @Neko GF's archive video and asked me "did he start calling himself female because he wanted to lose weight and needed to get ahead of the saggy manboob jokes?".
I've just noticed he's gone back to the old format. Completely. Single issue for the video, no cutaways to incongruent 90s adverts. The overall message is 'Don't waste your money on this shit, Nintendo is not your friend'. I agree. He did roll into 'muh billionaires' for a moment but otherwise, yeah don't put microtransactions into games for children.
Oh christ she made a good point, Jim's crash dieting is gonna result in a lot of excess skin sagging, and that's going to be uncomfortable as fuck until he gets it surgically removed. Also, how is his face still so fat and old looking? Honestly if he'd kept a bit of the weight he could've gone for the overly harsh boarding school principal look at least.
Because he seems to be coming out of a manic episode that was likely prolonged by Twitter asspats. I’ll admit I haven’t watched the video, but his sudden urge to tone everything down is often what happens when someone breaks free of mania and is forced to reckon with everything they’ve ruined. In his case, a nigh-unwatchable jimquisition and bleeding sub count.
If he managed to get in shape and stay healthy years (decades) ago he probably could have been an athlete or an actually respected professional wrestler or some shit with his build and height. Instead we get this.
Don't forget going to heaven lol
I have a much more cynical take: He realised, despite his posturing about 'muh transphobia' that all his histrionic bullshit that had nothing to do with games and the unfunny skits were what was actually killing his channel, so he's going back to format.
Twitter fags. How is this surprising? This low quality gay pride asspat shit exists purely for the inbred morons that think liking dick is a personality.
And with that, Jim has another thing in common with large corporations. Selling pandering LGBTQ merch for massive markups.
Jim being a hypocrite WHAT A SHOCKER
18 dollars for a shirt isn't much of a mark-up tbh.
Here some screenshots:18 dollars for a shirt isn't much of a mark-up tbh.
These are horrific though:

"No, it's okay when I do it because I'm actually a... whatever I am this week."
Something something punching up, fight capitalism by giving me your credit card details!
Assuming that doesn't include P&P he's probably getting them made up for a couple dollars each at most since he'll be ordering in bulk, so yeah $15+ profit on a shirt with a shitty MemeGenerator design that could be farted out in literal seconds is bullshit.
Essentially, if he has anyone even remotely competent managing his merch (that includes him, he has been going around the merch block for a long time now) he should be getting similar markups to places like ThinkGeek. Not quite as good, since large stores have better bulk deals and can dilute their costs over larger amounts of orders, but enough to make his constant ranting and raving about capitalism look more than a little sus, as the kids like to say
