We're closing in on 1000 pages. I might take a bit of time writing this so we may have hit 1000 pages by the time this is posted (I'll have posted a "yay 1000 pages" post already probably) so I figured I'd make a post to reflect on everything. I'm not gonna cite anything because I'm too lazy this time, but you guys already know how good I am with remembering things. This is likely gonna get rambly, so I apologize.
Jerry is probably second to only Chris in terms of most bizarre people I've seen on the internet. He's penned pedophilia, he's abused friends and fans, he's lied countless times about things like whether he's had autism or not, whether Stockholm exists or not, the nature of his friendship with Josh and the other TF2 bronies (seemingly in an effort to save face in my opinion), he's antagonized just about anyone willing to give him the time of day to the point where I feel anyone who still willingly associates with him is masochistic. He has a very venomous cult of personality to boot, and believe me, I know the types. The incredibly self-aggrandizing, heavily opinionated douche who people tend to make their "first" or "top" content creator, the one from whom they derive all of their thoughts and opinions from. I've seen it countless times before, heck, I almost fell victim to Jerry while I was a fan of his back in mid-2015ish. The illusion was fractured when I got into a mini-ask fight with him (that I've looked for, but was never archived), and broken when he made some comment about sexual dimorphism, making a point that in hindsight, I'd agree with (that it has the tendency to be used by douchebags like Aurini to justify male superiority in every facet of life, I took it to mean Jerry didn't believe the concept at all).
I'm kind of surprised this rabbit hole has gone this far, but from what I can see, there's nobody that can force Jerry to take accountability. In his world, in his circle, he's at the top. There's nobody above him that can swoop in and cancel him. The most damage that could be done to him, arguably, had been dealt. Stockholm is on his TVT creator page, Essence of Thought is talking about his being complicit in grooming (which he's viscerally trying to deny by calling her, a transgender woman, a TERF, 10/10 strategy), numerous people have come and gone, outlining their awful experiences with him, like Blake, Brittany, Josh, Patchwork, Lizzy, Segasister, and I believe Levi as well, which in my opinion, says a lot about his character, especially given he hasn't been able to adequately defend himself in these cases. He claims to have never seen Josh's video and dismisses it because it has photo links from the Farms and 8chan, he woke up one day and decided Lizzy was abusive, claiming after the fact that he always felt she was abusive, he constantly calls Josh, a man who's currently living his best life, a Nazi in a bitter attempt to "own" him at every irrelevant twist and turn, and he faked a heart attack after being berated for mistreating Patchwork; he only supported Patchwork when it was convenient for him during the Toonkritic situation, and dropped them for the stupidest reason, because they were garnering sympathy in his discord server - while Jerry himself promoted Patch's gofundme. He's even gotten into internet drama with his own mother. I've said this a million times, but his name has practically become poison in nearly every community he's tried to force himself into. He tries to pretend this is the fault of the "detractors", the "stalkers" (y'know the people who view his public tumblr and twitter), the "vultures", or those darn dirty "trollin' stupid trolls!" when in reality he only really has himself to blame. I'm a part of numerous communities and whenever I see his name brought up, even before I can bring up Stockholm or his treatment of people like Patch or Lizzy, people chime in, bringing those things up before I even have the chance to. His own words and actions already damn him, that the "it's the stalkers' fault!" excuse is only a device to avoid accountability. There always has to be an excuse, because there's never anything wrong with him. He's perfect! It's the other people who are at fault, constantly twisting his words by posting exactly what he said! Sharing things he's never written despite there being solid proof he's authored them!
I guess what I'm trying to say is... Jerry is truly a magnificent character, and it's been interesting digging into the various aspects of Jerry that make Jerry, well, Jerry. He's changed so much over the years, though not necessarily for the better, like he tries so hard to claim. That's not so much regarding his views, as much as it is his attitude. As SomeoneElse17 put it on TV Tropes, "transgender feminist Lily Orchard has been ENTIRELY just as bitter, acerbic, vitriolic, drawing the worst conclusion possible about the other side of ANY disagreement whether political or otherwise, and insistent that she can say and do anything she wants and never be in the wrong, as anti-SJW straight white man Jerry Peet ever was. The difference is, rather than being a staunch anti-leftist who rationalizes being an asshole based on free speech, she's a staunch anti-conservative who rationalizes being an asshole based on mental issues and being trans... "Growing up" implies that someone has increased in their maturity. Switching political sides while still being the same acidic person is not an increase in maturity."
Much as this thread is dedicated mostly to laughing at him, I still think he needs the opposition. He's made posts and shared opinions that are downright dangerous for his young fans to hear, like "doing homework is adults trying to oppress you". He kind of needs a force to keep him minimized as much as possible, to deter people from taking him any more seriously than people take Chris. I don't think I'd take credit for minimizing his credibility, as that would go against the "his own words and actions are what led to negative opinions of him" point I made earlier, but I will say it's nice and somewhat euphoric to see people of varying communities have such a strong disdain for him.
And in the end, for someone like Jerry Peet, for someone like the Lily Orchard that stands on the other side of the court, that's all that matters. Ridicule him into the ground for another 1000 pages, you magnificent bastards.
