Jerma985 - Because fuck it, let’s get a Jerma thread going. Meow.

[Fully Eshay Skits Bruh V4]

Lowkey yall are giving the same energy, anyone who plays TF2 in the age of 2025 should be strapped to a wooden beam and dipped into a Indian septic tank till they either drowned or were eaten alive by whatever lurks deep within the sludge of indian faecal matter. Playing Source engine slop is literally the same as getting your dick cut off and becoming a tranny, it's just step 1 of the operation.

Deflecting your argument towards some other crap just makes it seem like cope. Hope this help!

Lowkey yall dat be bussin I be finna 2 up da switch in all yo ass nigga, I be in da trenches of Chiraq and da blade homie nigga bixsnood.

he knows (and he has data) that his audience will HATE it.

No you're looking far too much into it.

I never paid attention to Jermaphobe until literally the last few months

And that proves it.
He played Marvel Rivals because he's a millennial marvelfag and always has been, also because it's a popular game right now. It's not some grand scheme to troll his audience epic style or anything like that.

I like Jerma.
I don't like his neutrality, but the yt algorithm is queen.
That and he genuinely wants to do things in grey neutral areas and not on extremes like us (I could never do this shit) because that's just his thing.

But by god, his new videos are a level of sarcasm I've never seen on yt and the worst part is that you feel guilty for having watched the vids and he's clearly intentionally doing that as his next experiment. This is how he thinks with YT vids.
And this is the most painful it's been yet.
He knows the target audience HATES this shit.
It's like if a lolcow were actually self aware and went "ok, how do I make this painful for the audience".

For me it's actually entertaining somehow, but I feel dumber every time.


Clearly that's the point though?
Hang on, do people not get what he's been doing for months?
I never paid attention to Jermaphobe until literally the last few months so this is him to me and I just see an ex-full time streamer using his brand to do the most obnoxious shit he can do without going beyond the limits of his brand. It's bordering art for me, but probably also stockholm syndrome. I'm not too sure. All I know is that it is quite unique and I don't know where it's going.

You forget, he probably gets sponsor requests all the fucking time right? Why did he choose this garbage? Because he knows (and he has data) that his audience will HATE it.

I don’t know about that. Over the years Jerma has enmeshed himself in the broader twitch landscape (for the worse, imo) and as such I imagine his audience looks much like, say, Ludwig’s or some other such dime-a-dozen eceleb’s - the type that wouldn’t balk at their streamer playing a FOTM game. Further, people seem to genuinely like Marvel-Overwatch heralding it as “one of the few good Marvel games” and as the rightful successor to OW1. I think, like Overwatch, it doesn’t make for a good viewer experience but I don’t think it’s enough that it will piss off the audience.

You sure you are not reading too much into it? Maybe he is just getting grumpy with what he is doing, which is not what he wants to do, but it is what the audiance wants.

Essencially, now that he already has an audiance he needs to maintain it. Maintaining something is boring, building something is fun. And because of this mechanic, he now is bored and grumpy. That would be my take.

You're reading too deeply into this. Every time Jerma tried to gaslight viewers in the past he broke down laughing after about 5 minutes. He would never be able to keep a straight face pulling off mind games like that for an entire stream. Not to mention that his brain is fried from weed (and maybe other painkillers, too who knows). He just likes Marvel slop and ever since he got popular he's been playing flavor of the month trash a lot more often than back in the day.

 

[Negev]

That's pretty much what killed Jerma for me. It wasn't the audience. It was the Alzheimers bit that he committed heart and soul to.
That, and emote only mode being way overused. I never really watched live, but despite the audience being annoying, most of his truly good stuff comes from audience interaction. Usually due to a one guy sending him on a wild goose chase.
You can tell in the Breath of the Wild streams, how he goes from lively and energetic to having nothing to play off of when he's in shrines and emote only comes out.

Plus, the emote only mode stuff always came across as the jannies having a power trip.

In his defense the last few times I checked out his streams his entire chat is nothing but "WHOLESOME!!!" and pride flag spam. So even if he did have it on its not like there is anything to work with.

 

[Gutes Zeug 2.0]

I'm not a big fan of Kai Cenat but watching some of his bigger event streams, especially the LBA, I can't help but think this is what I expected from Jerma when he talked up his events

 

[Maximilian Rez D'Fault]

Today's Sims 2 stream was refreshing. Felt almost like a stream from 5 years ago, I guess the sims is a series that brings it out of him. Glad to see he plans to continue it.

Today's Sims 2 stream was refreshing. Felt almost like a stream from 5 years ago, I guess the sims is a series that brings it out of him. Glad to see he plans to continue it.

When he just plays a game and there's no "plans talk", degen chat messages or "medical talk" it's a really good stream. I don't give a fuck about all these ideas or plans he has for other streams, I just want my funny moments in a game. It's been years of discussion and distracting nonsense that I for one don't care for. I don't care about these "big streams" or game show crap and all of it has led to him to stray so far from what made his channel great.

He's getting into the groove again, fuck all the retirement talk I hope he just keeps going without mentioning it.

Troon talk:

Spoiler

Troons infiltrated his mod team at least 5 years ago and it's been downhill in terms of the chat culture since then. Legit 15-16 year old brazilian trannies became his mods on Discord and Twitch and were constantly feeding to Jerma that transphobia was in his chatroom because the old fans would complain that a few people would spam tranny shit in the chat all day. Since he did that trans rights outburst a wave of the worst imaginable people flooded the chat room for the past 5 years.

His chat used to compliment his stream to the point where watching on YouTube you would miss out a lot of funny shit. That's certainly not the case anymore.

 

[Burn Down Digby]

retirement talk

Yeah, I don't get why there's still mentions about """""soft retirement""""". It doesn't make much sense when you're clearly still around. I suppose he's "retiring" in the sense that it's not his primary source of income anymore, but it's kind of just pointlessly startling people. It's hardly retirement. It's like he never left. lol

 

[Din Djarin]

I was thinking of checking out the Sims 2 stream VOD so I think I will. I really enjoyed his Sims 4 streams.

 

[Neodanthril]

soft retirement

I think he says it for himself more than anyone else so he no longer has to feel beholden to a schedule. Now when he streams it is a treat instead of an obligation

 

[Zertes]

I hate the Jerma fan base so much

 

[Big Shot]

I did the mistake of playing this video yesterday as background noise because I thought "le funny streamer guy rants" would be funny, holy shit he's retarded. Definitely sub-100 IQ. Explains his fanbase

 

[Kafkaesque]

sub-100 IQ

He has an IQ of at least 116 if the man is to be believed. Was tested in college and got 124.

 

[Enig]

Went through my list of twitch follows to see how many are flat out dead and apparently the account made just for the 2022 christmas special is still in existence when it's done nothing since.

 

[The Evil Midnight Bomber]

I hate the Jerma fan base so much

His rant in response to the video is complete nonsense. He rants about ads even though youtube is just autoplaying a recommended video from the sidebar.

Certainly, one of the interesting things about Jerma is how he weaves between funny retardation and concerning retardation.

 

[Bondrewddidnothingwrong]

dont know anything about the guy other than he's a streamer and he's in my youtube recommended way too often, but just judging off the titles of his twitch clips on youtube he's giving massive "my audience is 50% trannies" vibes. Am I right?

sadly yes, but it wasnt always the case.
