0:00:14
Unknown_07:  They said it couldn't be done.


Unknown_18: They said I couldn't lose another 100,000 subscribers as part of a sublead that started on literally the same day I publicly came out as trans femme. Well, I mean, they did say I could lose more. In fact, a lot of them have been gleefully looking forward to it.  you


0:00:48
Unknown_03:  Hello, everybody. Oh, geez. I hope everyone is doing better than James Stefani Sterling, because James Stefani Sterling is not doing particularly well at all. And this is where I jump in. I called it. I said after he published the Hogwarts Seethe video, he would be finally under 800 subscribers, and it happened.  happen chat and he was ready to go with not just a seed video about JK Rowling but a seed video about being 800k subs under again and I'm so I'm so ready to share my utter jubilation in regards to this momentous occasion with everybody everybody in this need chat today


0:01:36
Unknown_03:  all right um this is sort of a reaction video i suppose i am going to play the nbc thing that works as i planned doesn't fit directly on top as i plan but that's okay um i'm going to be watching i think the hogwarts video first they're each about 20 minutes long  very reasonable video to watch in Reactio. And then I will pause it and I'll give my commentary because there is a lot to say. He is so salty for so many different reasons and it's sort of an undertaking to endeavor to sort of pull it apart and just kind of enjoy it for what it is. So let us begin.


Unknown_03:  I think we're going to start with the Hogwarts one because that happened first and I think the other one will be funnier so we're going to save that for later on.


0:02:34
Unknown_03:  Am happy as far as a man missing a tooth can be happy. I'm pretty happy. So I Probably wonder I'm debating I need let's let's just do a quick show of hands in the chat Press one if you want me to sit through every cringe inducing second of his of his video including the shit about Wrestling and all the other fucking garbage. He shoves into his frame press two if you want me to skip to just the OG Okay, everyone there's no there's not even a fucking point to this


0:03:08
Unknown_03:  oh my god literally too many okay fine fine fine fine fine we will sit through the bullshit and we'll enjoy um let me actually fix this real quick there we go perfect and let us take a listen


Unknown_03:  So right off the bat if you're if you're listening to this only and you don't see it There is a bright green or purple pink type thing for his intro And if you are familiar at all with Jim Sterling, you would know that it is usually like a heart It almost looks kind of fashy. I don't know if there's like a better thing He's trying to rip off but it looks kind of fashy. He's wearing like all black leathers and shit and


0:03:51
Unknown_03:  it's a he's changed this to like steampunk purple and it's it's really just the most hideous fucking thing I don't know what he's going for but if you've not watched him sterling in like five years I'll be the first thing that comes off immediately


Unknown_18:  Nah, I don't care. It's stupid. Harry Potter is stupid and it's about time someone said it was bad because nobody in the history of ever has ever suggested that Harry Potter is bad.


Unknown_03:  Now, already, again, I'm assuming that some of you know who Jim Sterling is, but haven't watched his videos in years. Obviously, because he's losing subscribers, he was more popular years ago.


Unknown_03: His visage is a frightening, ghastly thing.


0:04:40
Unknown_03: He looks just like a British bulldog, man. He looks like a Winston Churchill. He's got those hanging jowls.


Unknown_03:  Um, but he's dressed in like gothic, goth GF, like, I don't even know what you want to call it. It's sort of like, it is like steampunk attire. It's, it's like, um, I didn't play the Borderlands, but there's a character like Mad Moxie or something in the Borderlands, somebody compared him to like what he's trained to look like. And it just.  It's just a fat dude with bitch tits and some sort of play-pretend steampunk shit. And it's very bizarre. And a cheap wig.


0:05:16
Unknown_03: His wigs, I think, have varied in quality. I want to say that this is better than what he started with. This wig is a higher quality wig than what he started with.


Unknown_03:  I mean it really is like it is literally shocking and there's funny comments about his appearance in this that I'll wait because I've seen this one. Here's just to recover To cover where I'm at. I have watched this video. I have watched five minutes of the other one. Yeah, and that one is No, that's the wrong one Nope, that one is like 21 minutes. I want to say so I've not watched the majority of that but we'll keep going


0:05:53
Unknown_18:  No, but it is stupid though, right? We're supposed to believe that wizards and the wizarding world is so much superior to the muggles, right? We've got phones.


Unknown_18: They use owls.


Unknown_18: Chuds.


Unknown_18:  Right, if fucking Hagar the Horrible, right, bicycled into my fucking house and went, ooh, you're a wizard, Stephanie, I'd probably be excited at first. I'd be all, oh, that's brilliant, Hagar the Horrible.


0:06:31
Unknown_18: How do we go? Am I gonna go in a car? What? No! We don't ride cars in the wizarding world!  We fly about on flippity-do's! What's a flippity-do? Well, first of all, you gotta get yourself an eight-legged one! We're not gonna get on.


Unknown_18:  Right, I insist on bringing my 3DS. Here you go. Have you got wall chargers? What's wall chargers? Oh dear. Okay then, so what do you do for entertainment? Oh, it's brilliant. We eat sweets that make you do elephant noises. Fucking what? And what is the shit with the all flavor beans? Right, I could, right, get a McDonald's.  Or, I could eat bonbons that taste of literal sick and mucus. And we're supposed to think that this is charming and quaint. Well, it's not. Oh, Hagrid, how do we get to school? Well, first of all, you gotta go to King's Cross Station. Even if you're already in the Wizarding World, you gotta get out of there and then run it first into a fucking wall!  This is bollocks, right? If I were there, if I were there, I'd sort it all the fuck out, right?


0:07:37
Unknown_02: Now you all regret your choices, huh? I wouldn't bother with the fucking wands they've got.


Unknown_18: It's Gringotts, right? Ooh, what wand have you got, Stephanie? Is it a dragonite string corn? No, it's a gun. And it's only got one spell. Bang! That's your Voldemort problem taken care of. Bang! Bang! That's the fucking snake.


Unknown_18: It's long, innit?


Unknown_03:  See, you didn't know. I think, okay, so it's sort of hard to explain. Um, I have to, I have to, now that I've like thoroughly brain raped all of you with this guy's comedy stylings, I have to explain that at one point he was pretty funny and it's a saying as far as comedy goes, that, that comedy is brief. Comedy is about timing.  and this run-on joke this is like two and a half minutes long of just him trying to point out flaws in Harry Potter as like surely kids would still want their 3ds even if they could play with their wands not realizing that part of the charm is that there is no technology because a lot of people feel oppressed by technology a la Ted Kaczynski um and it doesn't need pointing out but it is sort of it is literally missing the point  And I, it's sort of like the most basic kind of observational humor you could possibly make about, um, Harry Potter going on for way too fucking long. Uh, look, I love this. You can actually see in his videos, thanks to the wonderful feature by YouTube that shows you like where people skip in the timeline, you can see that nobody is like, Oh my God, I love the Harry Potter part. I want to go back and see the Harry Potter part again.  Everyone's skipping to when he starts ranting about the fucking video game. Even the people who want to watch this shit are just like, fuck this.


0:08:59
Unknown_03: This is also important. Watch him play with his tits.


Unknown_03:  He, not a fetish. In this video, there's at least three tit-related references that he makes. This is one of them where he just openly touches himself. And then, I'll just leave it to him, but he gets in the video too.


0:09:37
Unknown_18: JK Rowling is a transphobe. This is a fact. It's a fact I've never seen disputed in good faith, only challenged by fellow transphobes who have a pre-baked line since these people read from the same script.  Can we, can we just, I hate, I hate, okay, this is also right.


Unknown_03: I hate the word transphobe. I'm not afraid of them. I'm afraid of what they do and I don't like them. Is that transphobia? I'm not, I'm not afraid of them, but, and I don't think JK, I mean, JK Rowling might be afraid of them because they come to her house and like shit on their, on her front porch and take pictures by her, you know, security guards instead. It's, it's, it's like, yeah, maybe women are afraid.


0:10:21
Unknown_03:  But so I guess in her case, but she has like the thing is also that a phobia is a legit It's an illegitimate fear Like I'm cleaning off my porch because I want to get into gardening. I'm very arachnophobic. So I don't like creepy crawlies I'm just sort of like forcing myself to take it because they're not dangerous. Um, and um So it's like overcoming a fear of spiders, but JK Rowling doesn't have an irrational fear of trans it's it's like there's no such thing as being irrationally afraid of a sex offender and


0:10:55
Unknown_18:  What did she say, exactly, that's transphobic? Rowling couches her hatred in plausible deniability, but her daily obsessive takes on us, her constant comparisons of trans women to men, her verbatim repetition of gender-critical talking points makes her feelings clear. She follows, is best friends with, and outright claims to be one of the many prominent TERFs, trans-exclusive radical feminists these days rebranded to gender-criticals.  Her slide into open fascism as a result has been horrifying.


0:11:44
Unknown_03:  He used to do his own editing and his own editing style was better. But then he offloaded all of his editing to some random homosexual that he's friends with. And this guy's idea of editing is taking old cartoon stills and zooming in. And since they're usually like a really shitty quality like this, he started using Waifu 2X to like machine learning, like upscale these small stills from a 70s cartoon to something that's a high quality image.  But he uses really shitty upscaling machine learning. So it looks really terrible. And you'll notice it. And I won't pause to point it out because I don't want to waste much time. But you'll notice that some of the images he uses are absolute shit. So the audio visual experience of the Jimquisition has gone down over years. And that's important because of the subscriber loss and what he tries to offshift it on.


0:12:18
Unknown_03:  But I also like that he said in regards to JK Rowling that when when pressed about what did what did she say? That's transphobic There's no defense like she hasn't said anything like kill all kill them all or something But now she's a fascist transphobe because she's a little bit skeptical about certain elements of transgenderism She is still  like super liberal she she has said on record that she voluntarily keeps all of her tax stuff in the UK because she wants to pay taxes because she used to take uh when she wrote Harry Potter she was on uh government gives at the time so now she pays hundreds of millions of dollars into the tax system because she believes so strongly in the UK's tax system that's how fucking crazy she is the only person in the fucking world that nutso and he's still like nah she ain't doing enough


0:12:53
Unknown_18:  She is a fan of Matt Walsh, a fascist so into fascism that he self-describes as one, and has made a career from accusing LGBTQ plus people of the very pedophilia he himself seems to be a fan of. She's liked tweets from the abjectly abhorrent Libs of TikTok account, a notorious right-wing platform that outs queer people and is used to organize attacks against drag shows, as well as threats against hospitals.  She retweets unscientific driv- No mention of what happened to libsitiktok and how Taylor Lorenz personally showed up at her family's houses to harass them.


0:13:56
Unknown_03: That's justifiable in the name of Antifa.


Unknown_18: ...by queerphobes like Baroness Nicholson. She stands with Mayor Forstater, who, after losing her job at a progressive organization over demeaning anti-trans comments, has dedicated her life to combating trans rights.  She once sent accidental transphobic profanity to a nine-year-old girl after pasting a comment from an anti-trans website she was reading and copying at the time. She called criticism of this censorship and authoritarianism, seeming to defend her right to rope kids into her obsession.


0:14:28
Unknown_03:  Oh now so I was wondering why is he I didn't pick up on that the first time why is he virtue signaling about like profanity to children this guy doesn't have kids he never is never ever in his life cared about kids but now oh she's a groomer oh come on and she is obsessive


Unknown_18:  Scroll through her Twitter and you'll find that she thinks about trans people all day, every day. She herself has fought against Scotland's gender recognition reforms, scaremongering and spreading outright lies about a law that would simply make being trans a tiny bit easier.  She still has the nerve to act offended at accusations of phobia while literally campaigning against our basic rights and legal dignity. At first, she tried to keep up the mask of someone who supports trans people but just has concerns and wanted to protect women's spaces, a longtime gender critical dog whistle. She claimed her liking of transphobic tweets was just her fingers slipping, honest. And now she's an ardent supporter of Helen Joyce.


0:15:18
Unknown_13: While we're trying to get through to the decision makers, we have to try to limit the harm.  And that means reducing or keeping down the number of people who transition. Every one of those people is basically, you know, a huge problem to a sane world. Like if you've got people, whether they're transitioned, whether they're happily transitioned, whether they're unhappily transitioned, whether they're de-transitioned. If you've got people who've dissociated from their sex in some way, every one of those people is someone who needs special accommodation. Every one of them is a difficulty.


0:15:54
Unknown_03: There's so much. Oh wait.


Unknown_03: Oh dear.


Unknown_03:  I wonder, by the way, I'll point this out, the reaction that he uses for this.


Unknown_13: He uses the sound clip that says, oh dear, and he just likes it, but it says no eggs here, and he doesn't include the sound bite, but it's on that image.


Unknown_03: Is he like, is he using the no eggs meme? Is that intentional?


Unknown_03: I'm genuinely curious if that's like an intentional slight, like no eggs, or if that's just a coincidence. I really don't know.


0:16:28
Unknown_03:  uh but i like see this is why you have to be optimistic about women i know many people in the chat are are chuds super mega chuds that that hate women and see women as a threat to to their idealistic world but there is proof this this is the proof that there is  Threat of sanity there in regard especially in regards to those like the trans shit peaks so many fucking people to conservative thought that otherwise would not be peak and this video in particular gets hard and into Taking people who would be sympathetic to Jim and shaking them off the tree of like allyship. Oh dear. Oh


0:17:06
Unknown_18:  That's someone J.K. Rowling agrees with. Platforms is a friend of. Indeed, the people rolling champions are fucking monsters. Here's GC figurehead Posey Parker telling cis men to patrol women's bathrooms on the hunt for trans women.


Unknown_00: Talking about you, dad. This is also incredibly based.


Unknown_03: This is a famous clip.


Unknown_00:  who maybe carry, I think that's what you say. I'm so done with the American lingo. Maybe you carry, maybe you don't. Maybe you consider yourself a protector of women. Maybe you're that sort of man.


0:17:39
Unknown_00: Maybe you have a daughter or a mother or a wife.


Unknown_00: Maybe you have a sister. Maybe you just have some friends. Maybe you just think women are human and you don't need any absolute connection with them to feel compelled to protect us.


Unknown_00:  I think you should start using women's toilets, men.


Unknown_03:  It's obviously a joke like that's like a like a hyperbole but that's such an incredibly funny and base statement and he of course is like oh now they're literally trying to kill us if men saw if men carrying weapons saw what we were doing in the bathroom like hooking up cameras to the baby changing station they would literally kill us it's a literal genocide oh no much for keeping women's spaces for women


0:18:27
Unknown_18:  Of course, Rowling has tried to be smart. She doesn't record herself outright repeating the violent sentiment. No, she contents herself with laughing at us. That's how I saw him.


Unknown_16: I will never tell this to anyone, so hopefully not with a transgender person.


Unknown_03: This is such a pleasure.  That's what eats him up more than anything. She didn't say anything and that guy kind of sounds like he's fucking with her a little bit But she laughs like has a genuine laugh and that eats him That's that shit when they think like they would be like people walking around will be offended looking at them or disgusted but then you see those look they say they didn't see those looks a pity and they see people laughing and  And that way more than like anger and hatred and disgust is what genuinely eats at them. Mommy JK Rowling, author of the wizard books that obviously he tries to pretend he doesn't understand but if he knows that the wands have like dragon heart string that's like such a subtle reference that he definitely at least has read some of the books or played the game or whatever the fuck. He knows of it.


0:19:12
Unknown_03: So that's that shit. Mommy made fun of him. Mommy laughed at him and now he's super angry.


Unknown_18:  Her slimy, cowardly behavior goes back years. What's shown in this video so far is just from stuff I started collecting in the past year, because I knew this subject was inevitable. While she's been careful enough not to use plainly direct hate speech, I don't think her deniability is close to plausible anymore.  Look at the lies she tells, the fascists she supports. Look at how much she talks about us. This is not what someone who doesn't loathe us does. This is the activity of someone with a genuine deep-seated problem. You don't have to believe me. You can believe the Harry Potter cast members who've condemned her.


0:19:53
Unknown_03:  This is also stupid. If you don't know, all the cast in all the Harry Potter movies have come out and condemned J.K. Rowling. So if you want to know how loyal those fucking people are, she gave them a life of luxury by extension through their books. If not for those Harry Potter books, all those little kids would just be another Hollywood prostitute.  But now they're super mega famous, and then of course there's even the slightest hint that they might catch some shit for associating with JK Rowling. And they hard disavow this woman that basically gave them a fucking life of luxury that nobody else will ever have. Except...


0:20:32
Unknown_03:  Except one actor. There's one particular actor that has not explicitly not disavowed JK Rowling and he's a snake He's a little Slytherin snake Draco Malfoy's actor who is of course an evil fascist pure-blooded Slytherin Dark Brotherhood Slytherin has refused to disavow JK Rowling


0:21:15
Unknown_18:  can believe the historians who've catalogued a clear timeline of her descent into frothing bigotry, or, if you'd rather, believe the Republican politicians who are actually citing her words in their NCLGBTQ plus legislative efforts, believe  the virulently right-wing male supremacy group Honey Badgers who call J.K.R. their queen. Believe the photos of her at GC meetings. Believe the trans-exclusionary women's shelter she set up to replace the trans-inclusive women's shelter that her movement bullied and harassed out of operation. Or maybe you just believe J.K. Rowling when she says, it is dangerous to assert that any category of people deserves a blanket presumption of innocence. She meant trans people, of course. But if she's right,  Then hell, she gets no presumption either. She is a TERF, loud and proud. Merry TERFmas, as she would say. And has said. Huh?


0:22:02
Unknown_03: That's- That's what I mean, the power of not- of just saying no. Like, no, I'm not gonna bow down to your bullshit. Like, he's so fucking angry that everything she says is this great, like, uh, crime to him. This great offense that he can't tolerate. It's- it's so- it's so childish. It's amazing. Dear.


Unknown_18:  I've been out as a trans femme now for over two years.


Unknown_03: This is the best. He always picks his, by the way, he picks his pictures that show off the, and it's just like, why do people like him and Keffels think that because like, you know, their man boobs, they point outwards. He has to use a corset to push them together and up to make them look like natural cleavage. I don't know what the fuck they think and why they think that this is something that men are going to be like, oh my God, but.  That's I mean that's the thing it's not about what people think it's about what he thinks he looks in the mirror and he sees those big greasy flappers and he thinks oh my god I'm like a real woman and it's just it's just so erotic to him.


0:22:45
Unknown_18:  By coming out, much about the world around me has changed, be it through my new perspective or the difference in treatment I receive. There's a lot of good. I'm complimented by sweet old ladies who like my boots. I'm hit on by lesbians in Leeds. People in general say nice things about me, and I feel more comfortable saying them back. Mostly, I'm more comfortable- This is great. Okay, pay attention. This is hilarious.  I like who I am and how I look, things that weren't true before. But, while good things happened, and to be honest, 90% of people really don't care if I'm trans or not, there are negatives. It's no secret what it did to my career. The way in which I'm criticized online changed. Suddenly I was diagnosed by commenters as mentally ill, my age comes up a lot now, and my writing is tone-policed, accused of being rude and screeching where it wasn't before.


0:23:58
Unknown_03:  That's also weird like that that comment like oh no now I'm being I'm being criticized like a woman because you know women are criticized for being older like no eggs like he yes he's in this video and also being screeching so now he's oh my god he's taken on all the negative criticism that real women get just like real women he's screeching  But most of all, the world has become scarier.


Unknown_18: Scarier because of the right-wingers calling us all groomers and engaging in violence against us. Scarier because of the GOP and Tories scapegoating us and legislating our rights away with increased ferocity.  Scarier because of media outlets like the BBC engaging in transphobia as a matter of policy. Scarier because of the people JKR has emboldened with her support. The gender criticals who preach eugenics and partake in phrenology to call for our eradication. Scarier because culturally and legally and increasingly physically, we've been staring down the barrel of genocide for a long, long time. If you're not trans,


0:24:49
Unknown_03:  I love the, I love those, like the ACLU, I love these maps of all the states that have passed anti-trans legislation. Thank you so much, ACLU. I love these guides.


Unknown_18: Genocide for a long, long time. If you're not trans, if you're not so aware of how there's a new attack on arsenal rights multiple times a day, every day, you won't quite know how bad it is. It's horrific.  It's exhausting. We're less than 2% of the population, but we're called an epidemic. We're demonized in the press with extremely disproportionate coverage, and wealthy, powerful people like J.K.R. can't stop thinking about it.


0:25:30
Unknown_03:  there's a pole meme and it's like it's like it's like a four panel comic and it's like a guy it's like a true jack he cuts off his dick with scissors and then he's bleeding out of his crotch into his pants and he's just standing there in a crowd of people and then he says while everyone's staring at him because he's bleep oozing pus and blood between his legs he says obsessed much  Like, um, the reason why everyone pays attention to this is because it's a phenomenon that has literally never happened in human history, ever. It is now a completely novel set of problems that we are addressing for the first time as a species, and it's causing a lot of problems and a lot of upset, and he just can't fucking grasp it.


0:26:12
Unknown_18: Look, some people might be delighted to hear this from me, but I'm going to admit it plainly. I'm afraid.


Unknown_18:  I'm really, really afraid. And every day, for months, I've seen a video game that directly benefits one of the largest sources of that fear promoted on the PlayStation Store and Xbox Live, hyped up by the gaming press, and championed by a community with a long-running vein of transphobia running through it that goes back to the hateful protests against a bit-part-trans NPC in Dragon Age Inquisition.  Every day, a constant reminder that we as trans people have so few friends, so few allies. Every day, a reminder that the game industry and community are contemptuous. You know, as much as y'all gamers TM have tried, you've not owned me by posting the glowing review scores for Hogwarts Legacy or boasting about its sales success. That just proves what I knew.  that people don't give a fuck. That's not new information. It's not a surprise. It's half of the course. That's all those of you actively trying to harass.


0:26:49
Unknown_03: Okay. Um, let me just stop there. So first thing, what this, this pain that he feels realizing that nobody actually gives a fuck, that is the cognitive dissonance and seeing disparate disproportionate representation in all forms of global homo mass media.  And every way, shape, and form from the legislator to big companies to advertising to stock photos, everything that you are saturated with has trans shit in it, pro-trans shit. The companies throw up the trans flag and all that shit, like constantly. You can't escape it. And then when you are confronted with giving people the dilemma of supporting trans, like the two-button thing, support trans people or, um,


0:27:31
Unknown_03:  Play a fun wizard game almost everybody smashes the right button and it's like so what wait a second I was told that this was like the new modern thing that everyone loved and everyone support and there's all this backing momentum It's like no, it's all bullshit. It's astroturf. It's not fucking real Nobody gives a shit about you and he doesn't believe it until it comes into that something like this where you realize Oh my god  It is all bullshit. It is all top-down propaganda that nobody actually gives a fuck about. And it makes them angry because it's a painful realization when you've been coddled like this.


0:28:12
Unknown_18: Ask me over it aren't the actual offensive ones. No, the offense comes purely from the self-described allies who want to have it both ways, who want to play their wizard game and get really upset when criticized over it.


Unknown_03:  This whole, I'm gonna let this play out, but this is great, that he is saying, people who want to support trans people, fuck you. Either do everything I say, and not a single thing against what I say. It's not enough to support me in every way, shape, and form. You must also do exactly what I command of you. That is an amazing narrative, and I wish him the best in pressing forward with that forever and ever. Amen.


0:28:53
Unknown_18:  or the media outlets who justify their uncritical reviews by having the fucking nerve to compare our protests against them to fucking Gamergate. Transphobes, you need to up your game, because none of you will ever be as insulting as a self-styled cis ally who wants trans people's permission to not take a stand. Oh, and I love how the same GamersTM who spent nearly 10 years calling game reviewers corrupt  suddenly started trusting and touting them when a game they rallied around got 8s and 9s. Some of them even tried to twist GamerGate's ethics in game journalism pretext to defend outlets like IGN from criticism. IGN!


0:29:29
Unknown_18:  Suddenly, the Ethics Brigade are standing for IGN, the Too Much Water website, the site whose credibility they've done nothing but meme. Way to prove that you've only ever wanted to be agreed with. Y'all suddenly stopped believing reviewers were PAID OFF and attacked me when I posted what I'd heard from a Warner Bros. contact.  that WB stacked the deck and only gave review code to outlets it trusted to give positive reviews. Like, that wasn't even a shocking revelation. It's a known fact this happens, an expected practice. I've covered the deck stacking elimination of wildcard reviewers for years, but now I'm lying.  Now game reviews are above board. Oh, by the way, I've never believed game reviewers are paid off. That's not what happened with Hogwarts. Reviews aren't high stakes enough that publishers are gonna bribe over it. No, the sad thing is that there doesn't have to be bribery. Search engine optimization  is all outlets need to keep covering games as enthusiastically as possible. Hell, they wouldn't even refuse to cover Ubisoft games after all the sex abuse. They can't be trusted to do the right thing. While I don't think game critics outright lie, I think they have an incentive to not rock the boat to do conspicuous things like, say, litter a Hogwarts Legacy review with so many negative statements, it sounds like shit, and then give it a 9 out of 10 regardless.  From a general fear of controversy to wanting to avoid gamer boy harassment, and of course, maintaining a good enough relationship with publishers to keep having access, they've plenty of reason to go soft on big-name games. I left The Escapist in 2014 because- Okay, um, pause there, because I'm not interrupting the gameplay criticism, because this is actually what Jim does best.

Unknown_03: Like, his opinions in regards to game media and how gameplay rolls, like, that's fine, that's what he does.


Unknown_03:  However, I am pausing it here in particular. I mean, he obviously sounds very angry, and I'm sure that no matter how good the game was, if he were to try and criticize the merits of the game, he would just sound bitter and resentful the entire way through. He actually literally does not talk about anything related to the game at all, even facial stuff. Like, he uses Denuvo, and I know many hardcore gamers hate Denuvo and refuse to buy anything that has Denuvo in it.  So that's something that he could have mentioned without even playing the game in regards to you know, why? Legitimate reason that because he doesn't literally does not even bother to criticize the game in any meritous way whatsoever At this point he actually starts to suck his own dick a little bit and talk about what a great game reviewer He is it's very bizarre and he does that and then the other video as well company defy media refused to publish my review of Assassin's Creed unity and jeopardized  Didn't and for those asking de nuvo is an anti-piracy thing It takes about a week to crack and most people would prefer to just buy the game then wait a week Unless they're like they just can't afford it So de nuvo does a its job is to protect the game, but it's technically like spyware or something There's a lot of crit. I won't go into new. It's just anti-piracy. A lot of people don't like it


0:31:58
Unknown_18:  is their relationship with Ubisoft. I'm famously blacklisted by Konami for being such a harsh critic. The PR company 47 told me EA wouldn't send me review copies because I'm a wild card. The only access I get in gaming comes from sources acting alone that need anonymity because they're not allowed to talk to me. My standing in the industry, that is to say, no standing, is the result of doing everything my former peers are incentivized not to do.  I burned every bridge I had for not wanting to play with deeply corrupt organizations, and I'm proud of it. I also acknowledge that I can afford to not play in that slodgy water. Most reviewers can't. I scarcely blame them for the system they're stuck in. I've been there, I know how it is, and I don't think reviewers are unethical so much as forced to compromise with unethical companies, while in the thrall to the all-important SEO. They're not paid off. But as we've seen with Hogwarts Legacy and with how quickly they wanted to move on from mentioning Ubisoft,


0:33:24
Unknown_03:  It's weird how trepidatious he is about actually denouncing like scummy journalism if the like if you are afraid of pissing off your Advertisers in any way shape and form and that causes you to alter your statements to appease those people Like that is effectively being paid off. You're changing what you say for financial gain, you know If it's indirectly that just means even that's like cuckolding. You're not even being paid to lie. You're just I  so enthralled to the establishment structure that you refuse to cross it even because it might financially harm you in an indirect way. But he has friends in the industry still that he likes to maintain connections with, so we can't just call them retards and liars and pussies. He has to go roundabout and say,  Oh, I know that you can't do it because of your job, mate.


0:34:05
Unknown_18: ...visions abuse in their game coverage, not many of them have any damn principles. Multiple times in the past few years, press outlets had opportunities to make a stand. They did not. So yeah, to the born-again Potter fans who spammed me with screenshots of IGN's Big Ol' Nine, I'm not sure what y'all proved other than your own hypocritical opportunism. You'll be back to calling game reviewers SJWs soon enough, won't you? I know I'm not changing any minds here.  The bigots and Potter fans and people who just want to enjoy a video game made their decision. The allies who want to separate us from artists or hate JKR but just always wanted to Skyrim or Hogwarts made their decision. And regardless of intent, all of you look exactly the same to JK Rowling.  See, while people have tried to justify Hogwarts' legacy by saying J.K.R. had no direct involvement, that doesn't change the fact she makes direct money from sales. More important, I actually looked this up to see if she does actually get like a, um, I forget what you call it, but money from each sale.


0:34:48
Unknown_03:  She does get royalties. She does get royalties from each sale. So I was gonna try and debunk that. I can't. It's true. She does get royalties for every sale.


0:35:30
Unknown_18: It doesn't change the truly insidious aspect of Harry Potter's continued success. J.K.R. takes it as explicit endorsement of her views. She thinks the success of Harry Potter means people agree with her, and she's said so before.  There is no difference in hers or any other TERF's mind between the people who bought Hogwarts because they wanted a fun wizard game and the people spite-buying it to demonstrate the powerlessness trans people already feel. Intent doesn't matter. You're all just supporters to her.  You are all permission. This is why you aren't an ally if you buy Hogwarts Legacy. No, buying the game doesn't make you a transphobe, and I'm tired of he- I love how- I love how British and- and LGBTQIA plus that stock model looks.


0:36:04
Unknown_03: It's just-  It's just a perfect picture for him to use. By the way, I hope you have enjoyed this reel of stock footage montage set to a screeching British person.


Unknown_18: ...hearing the self-martyring whinging about that. I'm not saying you're transphobic for buying Hogwarts Legacy. I'm saying you're not an ally. You handed that card in because you couldn't do the barest minimum. You couldn't make the simplest stand. It's not that hard to not buy a triple-A video game.  You chose a product over people, and in doing so you helped J.K. Rowling say things like this when asked how it feels to have alienated so many queer fans. I read my most recent royalty checks and find the pain goes away pretty quickly.  That's what you do.


0:36:49
Unknown_09: You empower a fascist-supporting transphobe.


Unknown_18: Some of you celebrate that you've done it. Some of you leave your hands out.


Unknown_21: How is she fascist? I don't understand. Do you not even know what fascism is?


Unknown_03: Is she like an ultra-nationalist? Is she like a Victorian-era monarchist who's like, we got a take back to Indian Empire. It was rightful British clay. Like,  What the fuck is she doing? That's fascist. I really hate the mutilation of that word. Use it. The result's the same.


0:37:25
Unknown_18: So enjoy! Not a single one of you are under any obligation to refuse this game. I'm not demanding it of you, and I'm not gonna say you're an inherently bad person for it. But I do not trust you.


Unknown_18:  I can't count on you. Can't think you have our backs. I can't feel safe with you.


Unknown_03: And sorry, but you don't get to feel hurt by that. You get to enjoy your media product.


0:37:59
Unknown_18:  I get to remember every digital storefront that took a Hogwarts sponsorship, every games journalist that promoted it, every platform and company that embraced it, and I get to remember that when Pride Month rolls around and the performative allyship begins, your rainbow logos won't count for shit.


Unknown_03:  You think? You think? You think? You think that they already counted for shit? You think that these companies gave a fuck about you ever? Why is there white and blue in the flag now? What the fuck does that represent? I don't even want to know. I don't want to hear about it. I'm just saying, fuck this shit. It has never represented anything. I'm glad you just now figured that out. Welcome aboard.


Unknown_18:  It hardly needs to be said, but any of you who claimed you bought it to support the developers can especially get in the bin. Oh, they worked hard and should be supported. That's probably the dumbest attempt to lionize consumerism I've ever seen. I've seen this excuse so much, and I'm like...  How dare you? How dare you lie to me so fucking brazenly? You don't buy games just to support developers, you buy them because you want to play them. Tell me, do you buy literally every single game that's ever made and released? If you're motivated purely by dev support, that's what you do, right? Every game is developed by game developers, so why aren't you buying every game? Every single one. Get the fuck out of here with that blatant bullshit.  Of course, it's bollocks from a results standpoint, too. The devs got paid already. They get paid for their work up front. Unlike JKR, they don't get royalties. This is like... I'll save it, actually.


0:39:22
Unknown_03: But that's an eye. Nobody's paying to support the developers. That's obvious. That's like a cop-out statement. I don't even think it needs debunking. It's like, that's what people are saying to you when they want to be nice, so they don't actually give a fuck about your feelings.


Unknown_03:  They're not the ones- Or rather, they give a fuck about your feelings, but not your- your gay, uh, boycott.


Unknown_18: Supported by your purchase. She is. Warner Brothers is. Those are the beneficiaries. As we've discussed on this show before, game studios mostly live or die regardless of the success of one game, and thanks to the way public companies work, they're sometimes hurt by it, as layoffs often follow an influx of revenue to maintain the illusion of financial growth.  Corporations don't operate based on customer support. If they did, we'd get more single-player games and fewer ones based around financially exploiting a minority of whale players. You're not supporting the devs that tossed in a token trans character called Sir Rona Ryan explicitly.


0:40:31
Unknown_03:  I covered this on my Hogwarts Legacy playthrough, the three videos I did. There is one trans character in the game that runs like an inn, and they give quests. And they have a real trans person from the UK to do the voiceover, who is famous in the UK as being like, you know, the LGBT person. They were a man in the 80s and 90s and they became trans.


Unknown_03:  Um, but then they gave the, they gave the barkeeper the name Serona and Jim and, uh, his, his friend, the, I have a vagina, Laura Kate Dale person. Um, they're convinced that this is like a subtle jab and I'm like, I'm pretty sure it's not.


0:41:08
Unknown_03:  Is it not like, I don't know, it could be some, maybe J.K. Rowling personally marched into Warner Brothers Studios and said, I heard you're putting a trans person in the game, I want that shit ripped out. I'm like, no, we really can't, we really can't. We definitely need this in there to deal with the criticism. And she said, okay, fine. But you're gonna call him Sir Rona. Sir Rona, that is my official canonical  Harry Potter, Wizarding World, I own this shit. That's the name of that character. My will be done, Serona. And so it was, but I don't really think that's the case. Maybe JK Rowling is now aware that there's a Serona, but I'm pretty sure she didn't have the creative control to dictate that name.


0:41:43
Unknown_18:  Support wasn't even your intent. That's a retroactive justification for something you were always going to do. And honestly, fuck any of you who've come at me in the past few months with that excuse or any other excuse that attempts to paint your purchase of a video game in a noble light. You're not noble.


0:42:16
Unknown_18:  You're not a fucking hero. Play the game if you must, but don't you dare tell me you did it for any reason other than self-service. Don't you ever, EVER look to me for validation. Expect me to assuage your guilt, toss hypothetical scenarios at me that you think allow you to have it both ways. Just play your fucking wizard game. How you feel about that is not my problem. You clearly decided how we feel isn't yours. Cis feelings aren't our responsibility.


0:42:48
Unknown_03:  The deflection, I'm not hurt, you're the one who's hurt because you don't have my approval. Like, motherfucker, nobody wants your stamp of approval. If I got a stamp of approval for doing this stream from James Stefani Sterling, I might just delete it out of shame. But there's like this entitlement, like you really, really need the trans stamp to play your wizard game, and if you're gonna cry because I don't approve of what you're doing, well so be it. That's your own fault.  Like, fuck off. There's no way that anyone who's, like, sympathetic to trans people watching this is gonna be like, wow, you know what, I feel really bad for playing the Wizard game now. They're gonna be like, fuck you.


Unknown_18: It's so telling that the only real coverage of alleged harassment in games media this week has been about cis streamers getting upset at some mild pushback. It's a really old play.  Whenever trans people advocate for themselves, we're painted as unreasonable bullies. Unsurprisingly, I've been asked to answer for the alleged harassment because minorities are always expected to take


0:43:30
Unknown_03:  the stock photo he chooses is a white man every single time without fail the greedy people who you know like the stock photos for the rich businessmen always white men but then if it represents him it's like a young woman of various ethnicities it's really it's really bizarre like  It's like, do you subconsciously do this, or do you recognize and seek this out intentionally and you just know that you're doing this? It's gross. Take responsibility for each other.


0:44:08
Unknown_18: You know what? I'll answer it when I can go a day online without someone saying something truly vile about me. When I can stream without harassment myself. When I can post a selfie without being called a man or gay.


Unknown_03: See, look, look, look. Look at this.


Unknown_03:  Um... This, this is literally James Stefani Sterling streaming. That's the stock photo that he chose to represent himself. That's him right there! It looks just like him!


Unknown_18: "...harassment myself, when I can post a selfie without being called a man or getting some other derogatory comment, when what trans people go through gets as much attention in the press, and when I feel people give as much of a shit about all of us as one cis person. If all that happens, I'll prostrate myself before you on behalf of all transes everywhere. Until then,  This'll do.


0:44:54
Unknown_14:  The livestream. And what I have learned is that y'all genuinely think that accountability and basic criticism is the same thing as harassment and discrimination. Here we have somebody saying, oh gee, transphobia, because obviously they think that it's a big joke. And then, uh, well, that's kind of disappointing. Then we have, yikes.


0:45:33
Unknown_14: Then we have, yeah, I don't care how much you donate to Trevor Project, I'm done, unfollowed so fast.


Unknown_03:  The only reason he included her is that she's gothic and that's the type of woman he's into. A hundred percent. He would not have given a rat's ass about this. I think she's cis, she looks cis.


Unknown_03: Would not have given a rat's ass about this random fucking woman. Unless she was like somebody he wanted to fuck and this is like him trying to, look I'm giving you clout and putting you in my video. I guarantee you that he's personally spoken to this person.  Now they they talk It's pretty it's pretty sick. And all she's doing is talking about how the alleged like the streamers that that stream the Harry Potter Potter shit were harassed by the people boycotting the game and They there were articles about it because you know whenever shit like that happens it gets reported one because that's a good clickbait and  And now this person is going through and debunking all the harassment because the screenshots they posted on the articles weren't really that bad. And one of the things that she complains about is that J.K. Rowling is a good person. Someone said in Twitch chat, that's that's literally the comment word for word. No exaggeration. J.K. Rowling is a good person. And she said, but they didn't censor that now, did they?  like what the fuck does that like do we have to censor people saying somebody is a good person is that really a thing like if i say you know any random politician is is a good person is that is that hate speech like what the fuck are you talking about there boycotts don't work


0:46:40
Unknown_18:  I said that about, I don't know, ten years ago, and boy, people love blinging that one at me lately. I think there's still some truth to that, though looking back it really is just what people are using it for. Permission to not take a stand. Kinda like how people have appropriated no ethical consumption under capitalism. Regardless.  I know that in this case a boycott would never have worked. It's Harry Potter, and people don't care enough about trans people to pay J.K.R. 's crusade much attention. A boycott is not what I wanted nor expected. What most of us wanted was to simply point out why supporting a Hogwarts legacy is harmful, to at least get good people to think about the implications, to be heard on this, and to find out who our allies really were. We certainly found out about that last one.  We don't have many, and we're sadly not shocked. For me, it's not about stopping you buying Hogwarts, but to get you to accept the accountability of it.


0:47:51
Unknown_18:  I know many of you want to consume Guilt Free, but I'm not the girl who's gonna condone that. It's really quite simple. If you buy it, you're not a trans ally. Yes, it's that stark an either-or choice, and this is coming from someone who rejects the binary whenever possible. You might not be against us, but you're either with us, or you aren't.


0:48:27
Unknown_03: That's a Bush quote. You're either with America, or you're with the terrorists.


Unknown_03:  When has that logic ever appealed to anyone ever? The moment you start calling people Nazis, they start thinking, okay, if I'm already a Nazi, who gives a fuck what I say then? I'm already as bad as you can possibly get, I'll just say whatever the fuck I want. If you're already not an ally because you played Harry Potter, then okay, fine, fuck it, I'll stop supporting you if you want, that's easy. That's easy to do, motherfucker, watch me.  Have fun sky-rimming a Hogwarts.


0:49:03
Unknown_18: And Mary Tafmas. Nagini, help! They've got a fucking Glock! Anyway, stochastic terrorism. Fee suggested I just briefly let you know what stochastic terrorism is. It's basically what we're seeing a lot of against not just trans people, but LGBTQ plus people on the wider spectrum. That knobhead Tucker Carlson does it all the time. It's causing indirect harm through rhetoric.  through the normalization of bigotry and hateful ideas.


0:49:37
Unknown_03: That infuriates me. They know that they are not actually the subject of violence at all. There is no violence happening. People are simply saying, no, you can't do that. You can't go into the woman's restroom. So they have to like recontextualize this as a sort of indirect violence that to say anything that is critical of them and their chosen lifestyle in sexual like public sexuality is inherently violent because it endorses violence.  It that that is the most that's that's awful and that's like more more commonplace people need to really be on the lookout For how people are trying to turn words into violence because that shit is poison. That's the that is the paved road to censorship for sure This is what?


0:50:11
Unknown_18: Carlson a lot of these right-wingers that I've mentioned on this episode including Rowling do they incite? hatred of a minority of a marginalized group and  in the hopes that some harm comes to them. It's no surprise that violence against trans people is on the rise and that it's rising in conjunction with people like Carlson going on TV and engaging in groomer libel, telling everyone that we're out to get their children.


Unknown_03:  You know what's really weird? It's just, I don't know why I was reminded of this. Something about statistics kind of jogged the nog a bit. I heard that in the UK, the number of sex offenses committed against children has gone up by like 10 times. Not 10%. It's like 10 times what it was a couple years ago. Why? It just blows my mind. What's going on in the UK, guys, where all these women are sexually abusing children? I don't know, guys. It's really weird.  It's just something about it. There's something about that line of thinking really jogged the nog, chat.


0:51:19
Unknown_18: Anyway, that's stochastic terrorism, a very insidious method of causing harm because, as we've seen Rowling do now for years, it allows you to plausibly deny your involvement. Well, had nothing to do with me.  Of course with J.K.R. there's a lot more we could talk about. We could talk about the many, many criticisms people have had of the anti-semitic portrayal of goblins in her work. We could talk about how she constantly equates her idea of physical attractiveness to goodness. Certainly when it comes to using fatness as a visual indicator of evil.  For this episode, I stuck with what I personally thought.


0:52:15
Unknown_03:  The argument is that the goblins that run Gringotts are Jewish bankers. So people see that and think, oh my god, that's literally a Jew. And then they see a short, greedy, evil monster, fantasy creature, with a huge nose and huge ears and pointed teeth and says, that's literally Jews. And then they point to a, in the Gringotts Bank, it was filmed in the Australia House in London,


Unknown_03:  And the Australia house features stars on the floor panel, because if you don't know, there's stars in Australian symbolism. It's on the flag and stuff, and it represents the Southern Cross and, you know, naval navigation by stars.  And that's it. It's a six-pointed star, but it's not the star of David. But they still try to use that star and say this is supposed to be a Jewish dog whistle. It's complete bullshit. Unless J.K. Rowling came out and told Chris Columbus to specifically put the Green Gots Bank in the Australia House because there's a six-pointed star on the floor, and she really desperately wanted there to be that dog whistle.  Or maybe Chris Columbus is also an anti-semite because he's the one that came up with the movie depiction of the goblins But either way, I really don't unless JK Rowling, you know personally told him how to make the goblins look and where to film that It's it's on Chris Columbus if that is an anti-semitic thing, but it's preposterous feel is my field of experience what I feel I can speak to most powerfully, but JK Rowling is a shit That's the bottom line.


0:53:49
Unknown_18: She's a shit  So, that is the sad look at Hogwarts legacy. I have been putting this one off. I've not wanted to do it. Although, if I'm honest, I'm actually quite proud of the script we put together. I'm quite proud of the video that's been put together.


Unknown_18: I am pleased that I got that off my ample chest, which not J.K. Rowling or Mayo Forstater or Julie Pintle are gonna take away from me. It's my tits.  I earned them! It can't happen!


0:54:21
Unknown_18: Thank God for me.


Unknown_02: Not a fetish. Not a fetish yet. Up next, why Metroid Prime is rank.


Unknown_03:  I said up next why Metro Prime is racist because what he thought, based on the projections of usually losing 1,000, either less than 1,000 or 1,000 subscribers per week, it was projected that he would lose, be under 800,000 subscribers by the end of the month, by the last week of the month.


0:54:55
Unknown_03:  However, this stream in particular, and probably because of how we basically told everyone who considers themselves an ally to go fuck themselves, he lost more than expected and dropped under 800,000.


Unknown_03: So instead of why Metroid Prime is racist, uh, we got, we got, um, a very, what I like about this video, by the way, is that it's a gold themed, uh, where is the,


Unknown_03:  Oh, it's just, oh wait, no wait, there is a thing where it's like gold themed.


Unknown_03: But it looks kind of like my decennial video I put out. I wonder if Jim Sterling is a big fan. If so, hi Jim, how you doing? Big fan of the Jimquisition for years.


Unknown_03: And I'll get into that. Now that we're into the actual under 800,000 subscriber video, I will probably,  More I'll be reacting more kind of off the cuff because I will be seeing a lot of this after five minutes. There's a specific point I'll point out where I said, OK, that's enough. I'll watch this on stream. I'll point that out to you and then I'll try to go back and I'll try to give you a brief timeline of how his videos have deteriorated in quality over time. And hopefully you can understand kind of why anybody could have liked him and why he is now hemorrhaging support and subscriber base.  But let's start, I don't know who this guy is but he's a grown man and he appears to be wearing a brightly colored Sesame Street shirt which makes him look, with that mustache in particular, I'm not going to drop the hard P because you know my rules on it, but he fits the stereotype of the hard P if you know what I'm saying.


0:56:32
Unknown_03:  I don't know who the fuck this is, but we'll... Muppets, sorry, not Sesame Street. Sorry, I didn't watch any of those as a kid. I watched... I played Blocklin in RuneScape, and that's it. I didn't watch any Muppets. Anyways, here we go. This is the under 800,000 subscriber special, 20 months in the making.


Unknown_03: Strap in, boys and girls. This is the halfway point.


Unknown_20: Many scientists believe that the universe, in its majesty, will one day reach an apex  and begin to rapidly shrink, recede, and fall in on itself back to a single origin point of pure energy and of pure nothing.


0:57:11
Unknown_20: Now, as the most important and central thing in the universe, it only stands to reason that the career of James Stephanie Sterling would follow that same trajectory.


Unknown_20:  And it's with that in mind, I want to offer my most heartfelt congratulations to Steph on their latest subscriber milestone. Subscriber milestones are an incredible achievement for anyone, but so few have the talent, the skill, the tenacity, and the sheer raw power to achieve this.


Unknown_03: Wait, is that someone was saying that this backs backdrop was green screen. Is this actually green screen? Is he not sitting in front? Why would you?


Unknown_03:  Why would you green screen yourself into this shitty room? What is the point of this?


0:57:54
Unknown_20: Same milestones, twice.


Unknown_20: And I know I stand with the entire Jimquisition community when I offer Steph the best of luck on their spiraling, plummetous journey back down to that zero.


Unknown_20: And know, Steph, that with every subscriber lost, with every day of audience member shrinkage,


Unknown_20:  Your power condenses back down to that single, unfathomable point of energy. And on the day that happens, on the day you hit that zero, you will ascend to your final form and the universe will know its place and fear you. They will all fear you. Thank God for you.


0:58:25
Unknown_03:  the decennial kiwi farm stream he stole this he stole this from me chat i can't believe it i am the unmoved mover i am the inspiration for all


0:59:15
Unknown_03:  Oh, that was awful, huh? Get ready. You're in for a treat, my boy.


Unknown_03: Zoom out right from the tits. Not a fetish. It's not a fetish. Eating the wiener. Zoom out from the tits. Not a fetish. This is his true genuine self. Never felt better. Thanks for asking.


Unknown_10:  Here's a TV that looks like an apple.


Unknown_18: Oh joy of joys, it's that time again. It's time to celebrate another milestone of loss.


0:59:50
Unknown_18: Not.


Unknown_18:  It feels like only yesterday that we were celebrating our sub count dipping below 900,000, but here we are, another 100K in the hole, and I am delighted, excited to talk to you all about it, along with some special celebrity well wishes. So please, sit down, get comfy, shut the fuck up, and enjoy.


1:00:21
Unknown_03:  I just wanted to say this. I think this guy was in the under 900. I recognize his voice His name is Ashen's I think so if you happen to be a fan of Ashen's as apparently he has many fans enjoy massive congratulations for finally getting below 800,000 subscribers on YouTube something that so few people have managed to achieve I mean like loads of people have less than 800,000 subscribers like the vast majority of people on the site I mean


Unknown_17:  People who had far more subscribers getting down to that level, that's rare. Look, you know what I mean. Congratulations. It's been a hard slog, but ultimately, I think it's been worth it. I wanted to finish this by bringing in a bit of 90s Godzilla movie tat, but all I've got is an action figure of Hank Azaria that looks more like John Krasinski, and I don't know where it is, so I drew this picture of Bogdan instead.


1:00:53
Unknown_03:  By the way, um, in the under 900,000 subscriber, and I'll just mute this real quick. I want to see if I can find this. I think it's towards the end.


Unknown_03: This, um, I want to replay this. I think this is Ashen's too.


1:01:25
Unknown_03:  Um, I want to play his clip because his clip in the 900,000 is also is way better. So for the sake of posterity, for those who haven't seen the under 900,000, I'm going to play the Ashton's clip from that one. Cause uh, he, I'll just, just say, I'll just say that she'll announcement. Jim Stephanie Sterling has a new crowd.


Unknown_11: This is not him.


Unknown_03: Okay. I'll play this anyways. Cause it's really funny achievement.


Unknown_11: They have done it. They have finally gotten under.  900,000 subscribers on YouTube.


1:01:57
Unknown_11: What? What does that mean? How is that good? You're probably asking yourself. Well, Jim Stephanie is smarter, stronger, and healthier than they've ever been before. The quality of their work is at an all-time high, and yet their subscribers are going down. Why could that be? Well, it can only be for one reason. People who don't like good things, in fact, are shitheads.


Unknown_11:  are leaving the subscriber count. They're taking off. Those knuckle dragon jack boot ass crack fucks are taking a walk.


1:02:30
Unknown_03: He can't even raise his voice. Like his mother might hear him swearing and beat him with a stick. So he has to like whisper yell and he has to use like fake profanity. It's very bizarre.


Unknown_11: And you know what? Good riddance to him. That's me talking.


Unknown_11:  Jim Stephanie probably wants to keep people happy and watching their videos, but I don't care. I can tell you if you're leaving Jim Stephanie's channel because they are healthier, happier and stronger, smarter than ever, then you're a piece of shit and you can take a hike back to you, Jim Stephanie.


1:03:02
Unknown_03: Okay. Yeah. Like he's literally on the verge of tears. I'd love it. Sorry. That's my favorite part of the under 900 and I felt I wanted to share it again.


Unknown_18:  They said it couldn't be done! They said- We're back in the current timeline, in case it wasn't clear. Said I couldn't lose another 100,000 subscribers as part of a subleague that started on literally the same day I publicly came out as trans femme. Well, I mean, they did say I could lose more. In fact, a lot of them have been gleefully looking forward to it.


Unknown_07:  But anyway, here we are, the under 800,000 subscriber special, a truly momentous milestone that by this point must surely take us into phenomena territory, right?


1:03:53
Unknown_18: I thought I must be in line for a medal once I reached an impending 10 year anniversary of publishing a weekly YouTube show every week without fail for 10 whole years, but  steadily losing 1,000 to 2,000 subscribers a week almost consistently since January 2021?


Unknown_18: Where's my world record? Why aren't I in a book? I get a trophy for this, right? When you break it down, phenomena truly is the word for it.  I should get a goddamn parade for this shit! There's many things I've accomplished in my time as a media critic. Many trails I blazed. I was at the forefront of the loot box debate. I've coined terms that entered the public lexicon.


Unknown_03: This! I, um, jeez Louise. Okay, I remember this part as well. We're almost at five minutes in. I cut it off. I watched five minutes exactly and you'll see exactly why.  Um, but he starts sucking his own dick. He says that he coined he did coin the asset flip good on him Um, but this part in particular is crazy points of argument.


1:04:35
Unknown_18: I first put forth as cited in discussions to this day Five nights at freddy's was essentially my fault and i'm sorry for that


Unknown_03:  He takes claim for Five Nights at Freddy's because a while back when he did care about video games, he would review very bad games on Steam. And one of the games that he reviewed was this game by the creator of Five Nights at Freddy's. And it was just like Freddy Fazbear's something or other. And it was supposed to be for kids, but it really sucked. It was a really bad game.  and he said something they use the same characters from five nights at freddy's but they looked really bad and they were creepy and he says this is this should this is like creepy they look like creepy animatronics and he should have made this a hoarder game instead of a instead of uh you know you know a kid's game and the guy that made the game literally saw that and said you know what if you if i was going to make this scary i can make it a lot scarier than that and that led to the inspiration of five nights at freddy's so in a way that's true but  I mean, that's like when he was a video game critic, and he was actually doing video game criticism and not trying to be, you know, a savior of the trans race or whatever. I invented the word Chungus!


1:05:49
Unknown_18: God, I really should've- I don't- I don't know if that's true.


Unknown_03: I- I don't remember him ever saying Chungus.


Unknown_18: Trademunk that shit before Warner Bros. started milking it to bloody death for profit. Anyway, as I was saying, I've done a lot in my long career, but my nadir may very well be the pinnacle.


Unknown_03: Congratulations to- Oh.


Unknown_03:  In case you're wondering, this is the exact second that I said that.


Unknown_03: Gonna save this for tomorrow. I gotta get some genuine reactions going on with this. So if you're listening, we appear to be looking at another British, air quotes, woman, air quotes, with bright blue hair. The name is Lilith Walder, and you know my rule about the name Lilith.  um so just leaving that as it is and they appear to be wearing a witch cap with um there was a hat that i remember dick masterson ridiculing maddox for wearing and it was like a galaxy pattern cap this is like a galaxy pattern witch's cap and he's also adorned in leather bdsm straps  and a leather choker with a bow on it, and there's a, like a bat, that's not silver, because obviously silver touching the flesh of this thing would start burning into its skin immediately, because silver has holy properties. But a nickel zinc aluminum bat pendant is being worn around his neck.  He also has, like, Joker, like, Harlequin, like, Joker eye makeup. I don't know what to call this.


1:07:21
Unknown_10: Stephanie Sterling for finally losing enough subscribers to get under 800,000. Hell yeah.


Unknown_18: Honestly, I couldn't have done it without help, of course, from the beloved unsubscribers who took us to this moment. And really, who can say when this train finally derails? It's been going strong and ultimately, I don't know why the people who have obsessively stalked me ever since I came out haven't  Wrong, wrong, wrong. And now I have the tabs. Now last stream, last time I did this on 900k,


1:07:57
Unknown_03:  I went over and empirically proved that this is bullshit, and he brings up Social Blade as if to pretend that it backs up what he's saying, but it does not. And I will now show you this, okay?


1:08:31
Unknown_03:  Let's see. This is five years ago. So this was back when he still made real videos So, let's take a look his absolute nadir of of Subscribers was 9,000 928,000 on October 2020 and I


Unknown_03:  then you can you can even see here how many millions of views he was gaining per week or per month and then at this exact point the exact same time he starts tailing off in views to it like plateaus out as opposed to rising you know organically like you would expect with somebody who's putting out videos still and if we go back into his history


1:09:11
Unknown_03:  We can see this is September 19th. This is a real video that he put out about Nintendo's gotcha games, which I think it was a Pokemon game on the phone that had a gotcha mechanics, which he's a big critic of. And you can see that he's normal Jim Sterling at this time.


Unknown_03: So we're still in normal Jim Sterling territory.


Unknown_03: Actually, I think.


Unknown_03:  This actually no, I'm wrong. This is the first video he put out where the intro is purple. I'll just show this This is the purple intro. This is I went back in time. This is the first time he did it So his original intro looks like this it's with red and when he talks about politics He actually warns that he's gonna be talking about politics and the intro looks like this and it's all red and you can kind of see that this is what he had like his stand and by the way, this is all green screen now and  Like now that he, like this whole setup of him, um, it's green screen. The background is purple. This all chappened right at September, 2020. This is a 2020 or 2019. Um, is when he changed, uh, changes his, um, so this is a full year before his subscribers plateau. They had been stagnating for a year before this. I remember this. So 2019, he switches his entire aesthetic. He, his subscriber count starts to taper off. His views start going down per video.  And he gets in front of the green screen and he purples out. This background is real. This is like a real poster that he had printed professionally and hanged. And it actually went through different iterations where it would get dirty and peel and it became part of the set. And it was pretty funny to see the physical deterioration as he went and replaced it. And then at some point he just gave up and made it a green screen, which is what he's doing now and ever since.  Um, and then this is the video. This video, um, is October 19.


1:10:33
Unknown_03: And then this video is September 19. Actually, let me double check to make sure I'm not talking on my ass.


Unknown_03: So death in taxes is January, 2021. So it's three months after it's three months after, um,


1:11:16
Unknown_03:  He, he, uh, his subscribers taper off cause it's October, 2020.


Unknown_03: He changes his setup a full year, which is where it starts to stagnate to begin with. And then around this time where he's just hammering on about politics and capitalism and shit, which is what all these videos are, is that these companies are terrible, evil things and fuck them and fuck capitalism. And then I want to say, where is, I want to see what the, I got that wrong actually.


Unknown_03: What is the October, 2020 video? Um,


Unknown_08:  This is 2021 still.


1:11:52
Unknown_08: This is where he comes out.


Unknown_08: That's the game award. So this is the end of 2020.


Unknown_08:  Next generation. I do want to find the very specific video.


Unknown_03: Oh, it's the, Oh, I remember. Okay. This is what I want to say. It was around this time he starts wearing purple. He, he, um, fucked up his video and started, uh, doing all this around this time. Um, like he changed the set and, but then he really started dressing like a fucking clown with the green screen at around, uh, the, the time that his subscribers taper off.


1:12:28
Unknown_03: So this is November. So this is also,


Unknown_03:  Oh, no, I remember this is the I pulled this up and I forgot I had pulled up. This is the exact video that his subscribers start to go in reverse. You ready? Are you ready? Are you ready for this? I remember now how terrible it was. Get ready. This is the video that that reverses subscriber count.


1:13:07
Unknown_18:  Gaze upon the gold-plated face of perfection, you terrestrial pedestrians. It is I, Commander Sterling, here to remind you that even though things are bleak, even though it's a really hard year, a really difficult year for everybody, the Commander is just fine.  fine the commander is doing so so well i am still it was a video that is like half dedicated to like how long is this it's two and a half minutes long and then i think the entire outro is oh geez okay is my setup my computer oh okay awesome um my computer has been crashing midstream


1:13:56
Unknown_03:  and I thought it might be a faulty part of my computer but my screens just flickered on and off and my computer did not. I bought a backup power supply for my computer and I think it was a power flash and my screens flicked off but my computer is fine so it was it was my wall. It was not my computer it was my wall losing power because of my beast  computer sucking the entire... I'm causing blackouts throughout the streets of Bel Air as I harvest all the hydroelectric power that's being created by the Danube to stream to you right now. I hope it's worth it. I hope it's worth it.


1:14:35
Unknown_03:  there we go okay so no this is what's he says he's been saying for years that it is his coming out but i can jim jim look at it it's october 2020 and this is the first week of october 2020 it wasn't


Unknown_03:  It wasn't even like your cosmetic change. It was the fucking wrestling shit. Wrestling sucks. It's fucking gay. Nobody who is a well-adjusted adult gives a fuck about grown-ass men in latex playing pretend. It's the anime of the West. It's a sort of delirious alternate reality where, you know, it's like escapism to


Unknown_03:  turned up to 11 nobody fucking nobody cares nobody cares and when i see this shit it's fucking gay it's fucking cringe and i don't like it and this is where your subscribers dropped off because it's so stupid it's so detached from what your streams are about anyways it's like that's the issue and he lies


1:15:35
Unknown_03:  This is October 2020 and this is January 2020. So he had already been losing subscribers for months and then he cranks it up to 11 by changing his full look and coming out and wearing a fucking cheap wig and shit on a green screen. It just looks terrible.


Unknown_03:  So even the people who could tolerate everything that he had been doing that was already annoying, once this shit happened, once they opened their subscribers, their subscription list and opened this video and heard this.


1:16:10
Unknown_03:  They were done. Unsubscribe. Fuck you. Thumbs down. Leave in a comment. Fuck you. That's what happened. Okay, now you're going to hear it a third time. Oh, wait, no, you did hear it a third time. Sorry.


Unknown_03: That's what happened. So every time he copes and sneeds and says that shit, that it was the day he came out, the very day he's out.  Fucking liar and he knows he's a fucking liar because he goes the social blade and pulls up the stats and ignores The reality of the numbers in front of him and construes it is this shit It's just nobody wants to nobody wants to see this shit right here. Nobody not a single fucking person Maybe the 20 gender queers who show up to your indie wrestling circuits, but that's it That's the entirety of the entire earth's population that gives a fuck about this But let us continue


1:16:44
Unknown_18:  as I showed last time, and yet people were offended when on our last sub-special I theorized that maybe, just maybe, my coming out in front of a crowd of mostly gamers might have been related to that crowd slowly fucking off. I mean, the gamer bros who are attracted to videos saying EA bad every week don't exactly have a track record of positive attitudes towards trans visibility, be it a trans person in games media or a trans character in a video game itself. Yet, even while someone is misgendering you in their protests,  should you say they're a transphobe, they'll become incredibly insulted. This is because, as any one of us with this experience can tell you, the accusation of transphobia is treated as more offensive than the actual transphobia.


1:17:28
Unknown_12:  Hi Stephanie, it's your good friend Simon Miller here, the board A-hole. And I just wanted to say congratulations on being under 800,000 subs. Nobody could have done it like you. I knew you could do it. I'm so proud of you. And I have no doubt that soon you'll be under 700, 600, 500, until you get to that magical zero figure. So.


1:18:07
Unknown_06:  Even as a joke, that's pretty fucking cool. The way he says it is like cold-blooded.


Unknown_03: This guy is in on the joke, I think. He's in on it. He's laughing with us, chat.


Unknown_12: Laughing with us. My friend, keep smashing it, keep being you, keep believing, keep kicking all the ass, and I'll be by your side every step of the way.


Unknown_18:  It's considered quite taboo to suggest the video game community has a queerphobia problem despite the years of harassment of LGBTQ plus people and the angry tantrums over games being too political by daring to include a trans character. I mean, I don't know what other conclusion can be drawn when  Say, I wrote the Vampire Survivors bestiary which indicated the playable character Giovanna was trans and within an hour of its launch a mod had been created and distributed that removed the bestiary entry and replaced it with transphobic trolling instead. Yet, after claiming Vampire Survivors of all things had gotten too political over the most minor of LGBTQ plus inclusion, the suggestion that any of these people have a problem with gender identity angers them almost as much as seeing someone's pronouns listed in their Twitter bio.


1:18:41
Unknown_03:  The thing is, like, how can you get mad over how people mod a game? It's like such, it's like a personal choice. You have to go out of your way to find that. It's like, like someone transphobic or like, who's not like, okay. It's like if someone wants to, or who is trans and making a mod so that they can make like a trans character or whatever. Like, I don't.  I don't care. They publish a game and there's a mod to do gender swap things. Huh? Okay.


1:19:24
Unknown_03: How do you find the energy in your day-to-day life to give a fuck about that shit? Truly baffling.


Unknown_18:  Honestly though, these people revel in hurling slurs from behind burner accounts all day. I have no idea why they wouldn't want to take credit for this. For the past two years, I've been accused of coming out for the good of my career. It's a common thing trans people are accused of all the time, despite stats showing how regularly they get fired from their jobs after coming out, and how hard it is to find work otherwise.  You'd think, then, that there'd be a celebration over my transition essentially costing me the entire viability of my own YouTube channel. Like I said on the previous special, what a hell of an own fucking goal that is! Frankly, I consider that a freebie for anybody who wants to laugh at the transes. But of course, this is just my personal assessment. You're free to have your own opinion, and who, boy, have you let me know. Congratulations to Stephanie for... Oh my God.


1:20:41
Unknown_02:  not a fetish by the way not a fetish at all not a not a fetish making sure who's the new guy let's see youtube ceo neil mohan neil not a fetish this is a this is a valid lifestyle not a fetish


Unknown_15:  Getting down to 800,000 subscribers. I've been watching them for a really long time.


Unknown_03: Oh my god, they sound like Frederick Brennan. They sound like Hot Wheels. I don't know how to be nice about this. Like, come on, bro. Come on, do some voice training.


Unknown_15: And I thought, wow, that's way too many subscribers for them. They're getting a really big head. They need less so that they'll respond to my DMs. So here's to 800,000.


Unknown_15:  More subscribers left to go. I will not rest until that number is at zero.


1:21:32
Unknown_18: What's so great about the spectacle of all this is that anybody with a vested interest... He's complaining that he doesn't... Jim has never monetized his YouTube channel.


Unknown_03: He does not run ads. He makes all of his money off Patreon. If we go to Graftreon and we look at his numbers for this,  He's doing just fine. He's down from his peak. Let's see, 2020. Actually, he went up after he came out. This is after he came out. This is at his peak subscriber count. He was making $14,850 a month. After he came out, he peaked all the way up at $15,000 a month. And then after two years of hemorrhaging his subscribers, he's still making a very generous $11,309.


1:22:08
Unknown_03:  And it's like he's going to cry and say that it's tanked his career. My dude, you're doing better than everybody. You're doing better than literally everybody who doesn't have a fucking law degree. How do you have, how do you even like, how do you even get upset? Just count your royalty checks, bro. I'm sure it eases the fucking pain. Is this even, but the thing is, it's like, this isn't even performative. Like his butt hurt over people. Um, like, like this shit is like a genuine anal pain when he should be like, say I'm doing fine.  It's crazy, crazy shit.


1:22:42
Unknown_18:  It's cause your videos suuuuuck. ...to be about whatever it is some chuds on Twitter took umbrage with. In the time since the last subscriber special, many people have offered their wisdom as to the reason for this phenomenon, and it is a phenomenon that makes me very special and unique. We've established this. Many have argued against my own personal take with counterpoints of their own. Some say the quality of the show has gone down, and in all honesty, if they think that, that's fair.


1:23:16
Unknown_03:  Yeah.


Unknown_18: I mean, I really like I'll I'll talk about what I like about him just a little bit, just a little bit.


Unknown_03: So you understand if you go to his channel, you see his current featured video is about rape or whatever in Activision Blizzard.


1:23:56
Unknown_03:  He literally just unpinned that. That was his featured video for a very long time. It was a video about sex abuse in Activision Blizzard.


Unknown_03: But before that, it was this video. If we go by popular, you'll still find it. I would actually genuinely recommend this video. This video is now five years old.  And what happened is that... I'll just play the intro. It's like he had the...


1:24:40
Unknown_03:  He just gave a fuck. He gave a fuck and he gave a fuck about like doing his job and dealing with things legally and being funny about it. He really had personality and he had a sense of humor and he put time into editing his videos and shit and all the skits he did. You know, his skits are stupid, but they're mercifully brief. Mercifully brief.  Like, there's a thing he does called the Corn Flakes Homunculus. He literally drapes a trash bag over himself with a hole cut out for the head. And he tapes two bags of corn flakes to his head. And then he films himself writhing around in pain, going,


1:25:15
Unknown_03:  And he says like this video is sponsored by the cornflakes homunculus and it's just it cuts to that and there's the there's he is in a trash bag and cornflakes tied to his head screaming in pain and it lasts three seconds three seconds and it's just like if you don't find that funny it doesn't matter because it's out of the way before as opposed to this shit where you're you're watching him do his wrestling promo for two and a half minutes and it's the most painful thing or even the intro to the um


Unknown_03:  to the Harry Potter thing, where he's doing it for like three minutes long, just him, and all he's doing is standing and drinking Monster. Like, the amount of effort that he's put into his videos now is astronomically lower than what it used to be when he gave a fuck. And when people watch his videos, this video has over four million views, and it's a really compelling story. It's 40 minutes long. It's a great story about how he made a, because he used to play games, because he really cared about indie games and game development.  and all that stuff and he just stopped. That's the main thing about his videos and why they suck now is that you can tell he hates


1:26:11
Unknown_03:  video games. He hates playing games, he hates talking about games, he has zero interest in video games, and it shows when he does his video game program. He desperately wants to be BreadTube now, um, but he's not, uh, he's not BreadTube. He doesn't have that capacity. He's just, you know, a washed-up game critic, and his built-in subscriber base wants video game shit, and he just doesn't want to do it anymore. That's the core reason why he's losing fans.


1:26:53
Unknown_18:  I'm not saying everybody who unsubs is doing it because they're a twat. I'm talking very specifically about the clockwork pattern of one to two thousand losses that started the day I came out. There are gonna be other reasons, and all of them subjective. The reason I'm putting forth has a literal, exact day and date.  A few people have said they stopped watching because the many episodes we had to do about workplace abuse in 2021 were distressing. Then again, some people have said the abuse stories were annoying and took the fun out of their buying games, and frankly, I think that's more an indictment on gamers than on me. Of course, the old standby is still the most common. I'm too political now. Talk about capitalism too much. I've been accused of being too political since about 2019, long before the subs dropped,  and it's always been hilarious.


1:27:32
Unknown_03:  uh... capitalism and consumerist culture and shit and that that that's the main thing is that he doesn't know the difference between capitalism and like this gross consumerism where you have only a couple handful of companies that own everything uh... crony capitalism is a popular term for it but he doesn't know the difference between oligarch capitalism and capitalism and so he just starts whinging about like capitalism and how everything should be free and shit and it's like most people listen to that and think oh this guy this bloke has a poor understanding  Of money he just doesn't he just doesn't understand what the fuck's going on which is why he can't be a bread tumor he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about and he's poor at explaining himself to things that do not go hand in hand when you want to talk about politics.


1:28:28
Unknown_18:  considering that this show by its very concept inevitably has to cover political issues. It was always pretty anti-capitalist as well. The problem only occurred when I dared to actually say the C word. Now far be it from me to hammer a point home, something I've never done before, but it is interesting to consider that the same people calling this show too political these days are the same people that think Vampire Survivors is too political. Almost as if the aggressively apolitical do have politics.


1:29:10
Unknown_03:  Okay, Carl Schmitt. Um, what is it with that? It's all these people who are like on the left saying, who are literally taking this, this Schmitt pill, the Schmitt pill and saying, if you have no politics and that is your politics, that silence is violent shit. That is so aggressively alienating when you try to confront people who just want to get the fuck on. I'm not going to go into it cause that's boring. Um, politics stuff. But in case you're wondering, I was hoping he would explain it himself, the shit and vampire hunters or whatever the fuck that he's complaining about. He wrote,  He contributed writing to the bestiary of some game, and he wrote a thing, it's called like, Undying Magician Girl or something, and the description was, assigned mage at birth, she later transitioned to a beautiful magician girl instead.


1:29:57
Unknown_03:  And it's really cringe and stupid and it's nothing but like, you know, tranny faftum. So that's what someone modded to remove. It's to change the beast ear injury. It's like the most asinine fucking thing ever. He's extremely, extremely butthurt about it.


Unknown_03: They're just really shitty ones.


Unknown_18: He's turning trans. His work has been suffering from it.


Unknown_18: When he started wearing makeup and going on about being non-binary, I had to unsub. It just got too much.


Unknown_03:  That's like the IQ graph thing. You have 140 IQ, Josh. Like, actually, it wasn't that. It was when you started doing this and this 22 years ago. It was when you started doing this that the decline actually happened. Meanwhile, flip it around to the 60 IQ guys. Like, wow, he ugly. Me unsubscribe. Click. And it's like.


1:30:32
Unknown_18:  He rocked up in a wig and makeup, and I haven't watched one of his videos since. I guess I'm a massive transphobe. Oh, well, yeah, you are.


Unknown_18: What else have we got? Oh, he's always been a degenerate, open about sexual encounters with men. He's gone in full mental breakdown mode and trans-trending. I'd support if he was genuine, but it's rather late in the game now when everyone was coming out five years ago.


1:31:11
Unknown_18:  The lipstick I couldn't click on the thumbnails anymore after that and finally unsubbed one day


Unknown_03:  I mean it's true if you like look at his videos like uh let's just go back to the playlist like you can see like how um the style of his like he had these really sleek thumbnails he had like a static image of himself on the logo and stuff it was it's a pretty good thumbnail system of like this is the gym position and this is the content that we're featuring and then as you get along to the the neo gym he's got like he's wearing like it's a different image each time and you can see the crap on his desk all the the gay boggling shit  And then once you hit Troon, after this, then there's this part, which is the worst thumbnail of them all. It's worse than the Troon shit, the wrestling shit. Then you get up to the Troon shit and you're like, nobody is gonna click this. Nobody is gonna click this and wonder what the fuck this person has to say about Twitch and shit. Like, it is true. The thumbnails are viscerally unappealing in a real way, where it's like, I have no interest in this. So that's true.


1:31:55
Unknown_18:  Once I saw dudes starting to wear lipstick and shit, I got out of there. I noped the fuck out of there turd wearing lipstick. I stopped watching him once he started dressing as a girl. It's just too weird for me.


1:32:30
Unknown_03: This must be on Twitter. The messages are too short. I was kind of hoping he was reading Kiwi Farms posts as he was going along, but I'm pretty sure this is Twitter just because of the brevity.


Unknown_18:  Yeah, definitely around the time you started dressing as a woman. I'm not a 10 by any stretch, but he doesn't have the look Nor do I identify like that just as much as some try to push that on people I don't agree with all that and stay in my lane. He's more annoying now That sounds like a trans person wrote that and he still he still doesn't like it.


1:33:10
Unknown_03: Oh


Unknown_18:  So that's a selection of fun comments that my partner Phoenix looked for me and sent along. The loving husband they are.


Unknown_02:  my partner phoenix the loving husband they are they husband partner oh that's fucking gnarly bro that's fucking gnarly bro not okay bro negligent of me to not point to another reason people have given having a mental breakdown that i've gone insane it's not true is it tell them


1:33:57
Unknown_18:  See a common question is why is the phenomenon still occurring if I came out nearly two years ago surely all the folks would have fucked off Good point there are potential reasons YouTube's algorithm doesn't push my videos and very few people get notifications about them in fact almost every week I get new comments from longtime viewers who say shit like what happened to you, man. Why are you?


Unknown_03:  Partly to make a point, I've actually focused on lighter topics the past year.


Unknown_18: More on stuff people have said they wanted to see a return to, like publishers being shits. In fact, I've made a conscious effort to return to an older rotor of topics.  And while the episodes have had a lot of positive response, the subject continues with almost mechanical efficiency. No matter the content, no matter the subject, the phenomenon remains the same. It's completely independent of those things. Basically, the question about why people are still leaving can be applied to all the reasons other people have given. Why is it still happening? If it's because it got political, why is it still happening? It's been known for about...  fucking five years that the show's political. All I know is this, there's only one constant now that I've returned to very well-received older style content, one thing that stayed the same for the past two years.


1:34:48
Unknown_03: His content is not older style. Like the thing is, I've watched, I've literally watched every Jimquisition multiple times. There are times where I played video games and I played like his old stuff from start to finish, one after the other.  Um, and I I can tell you that no very few of his other videos get the kind of engagement because It's just not interesting watching him play an alternate game. It's interesting watching him have a you know, a 10 million dollar lawsuit with a game developer um so Like just because he's doing those other videos like his Jimquisition videos have stayed consistently bad for a very long time now in fact


1:36:04
Unknown_03:  He's like he doesn't talk about a single video. I mean he talks about like this video about live services Shutting down that's kind of interesting. That's like his old stuff, but it's like he says that the videos have stayed the same and it's it's  It's not true. Like he doesn't actually like here's the main thing. Okay. Throughout this video, there is all this shit where he, this, this fucking blue guy shows up and every one of his videos over and over again. But if we go back to, I was watching this video cause someone mentioned that a long time ago, this is five years ago.


1:36:37
Unknown_03:  he threw a fit that the gigantic monstrous spider in the Lord of the Rings trilogy named Shelob is a beautiful like a you know like a sexy you know sexy woman and a sexy outfit and it's like he took issues with that because you know he claims to be a feminist and shit and a lot of people got pissy with him it's like who gives a fuck if they make a spider sexy  And he did. He really cared that the spider was a sexy woman in this Shadow of Mordor game.


Unknown_03: And I was watching this because I wanted to see how this video compares. And number one, it's way more interesting. Even though it's political, it's way more interesting. It's way more focused. There's less bullshit. There's less stupid bullshit in the video. There's no wrestling content whatsoever. It's just him doing his shtick. And the stock photos are either completely topical to what he's saying  Or, it's video game footage. It's actual footage of the video game that he's showing in the background, so there's no weird pan and zoom stuff. It's actually him playing the game as he talks about the content of the game. He's saying, I really like the Nemesis system in this video game, and here's me playing the video game, so you can rest assured that I've played it and I have some opinions that are formed through playing it, but I don't like what they did with Shelob.  And that's fine.


1:37:34
Unknown_03: I can listen to his opinion and be like, okay, I just disagree with that or whatever the fuck. I don't particularly care.


Unknown_03: But in his old videos, he actually played the video game. If you watch the Hogwarts video, notice that there was zero gameplay footage.  and he never plays games anymore because he fucking hates them and it shows because he has to have Justin or Phoenix or whoever the fuck editing this garbage to take up screen space as he talks because he can't stand and talk because he has a bad back because he's an opium addict and he is fat as hell and he can't show video game footage because he doesn't play video games anymore and it's just it's a it's a noticeable thing in comparing them that explains why his videos are so fucking awful now well


1:38:13
Unknown_18:  They've not so much stayed the same as gotten bigger.


Unknown_18: Thank god for estrogen.


Unknown_03: Okay, so let's just this is also great just as a general example of why the fuck someone would not want to watch his videos anymore. Even if you are like a trans ally, bro, like even if you can like


Unknown_03:  Bro, come on. Even if you are an ally and you want to support trans creators, if you're not sexually aroused by man tits, you see this shit and you're thinking, what the fuck? I'm uncomfortable. He is literally, as far as I'm concerned, he is sexually harassing his viewers. I feel uncomfortable when he talks about shit like this because it's like,  It's vile. It's viscerally disgusting. It triggers my fight or flight in sync where I'm like, I gotta get away from this. This person is a predator. This person is a man dressed as a woman with big, flappy, greasy bitch tits. And he's trying to come on to me and I gotta get the fuck out of here. Where's my nearest weapon? What is the nearest escape route? How do I get out of the situation?


1:39:50
Unknown_03:  But he's going to pretend that it's strictly the fact that he's wearing the wig. The wig is less offensive than this still right here. I guess he's just pretending that that's not the case. He doesn't understand it because he is aroused when he does this.


Unknown_19: Hey, Commander Sterling. Just sending you a note of congratulations for losing enough subs to be under 800,000.


Unknown_19: So, good job. Keep up the good work and let's keep losing subs because people suck.


Unknown_08: What the fuck is that?


Unknown_08:  What the fuck?


Unknown_08: Where did you find this?


Unknown_08:  Was it on fiber? What the fuck is this?


1:40:24
Unknown_18: Now look, we've all had a LOT of fun today, but I'm not gonna pretend the situation isn't a shame. I could act like I ain't even mad, or like seeing so many people leave with bizarre clockwork regularity isn't affecting. Of course it is. But you know, after two years of it, I've made peace. Trolls love pointing out the losses and genuinely celebrate the milestones, because they're creepy.


Unknown_18:  Oh, you fuckers. 3900 creepy, peculiar fuckers.


1:40:57
Unknown_03: How dare you? Someone asked, why does he not try to sound like a woman? The answer to that is that number one, he's lazy. Number two, he pretends he's not lazy and is just simply smashing the gender binary by being trans femme and not necessarily a trans woman.  He's trans femme, that's why he goes by James Stefani and not just Stefani.


Unknown_03: But the real answer is that he's a lazy fuck and would never- he knows he wouldn't pass so like why even bother? I get 100% of the satisfaction by just wearing a corset that pushes my greasy tits together and I don't have to actually try and look like a woman so why even fucking bother?  I'm just transfilm. That's the logic. It just is what it is.


1:41:31
Unknown_18: Even before the Great Unsubbaning, I was talking in episodes about what a dead-end YouTube was. This channel as a business asset is basically shithouse. It's just the place I put the show now. Since it's useless for reaching audiences, I focused more on my writing, returning to written reviews, and that's been rewarding.  Of course, getting to write content for vampire survivors is amazing. And then there is, of course, my wrestling, which has seen me become a shockingly popular baby face in the British wrestling scene. Point is, YouTube is not where I'm ever going to succeed again.


1:42:04
Unknown_03: So this is his actual highlight reel. I'm going to pause it. I have been told.


Unknown_03:  by actual amateur wrestling professionals, this is a job, that his highlight reel is very bad. It's obviously faked to the point where it's not even good showmanship. And there's specific moves that he doesn't showcase in his highlight reel that a professional wrestler would want to show, but because it's a lot of work and it's hard on your back, it's not something that he's going to do.  Like in particular, it's it's a move where you are shaped like an L And then you flip onto your back with your legs tucked in real hard. It's like faking being slammed to the ground It's something that wrestlers have to do but he doesn't showcase that move in this video sequence at all because He's not physically capable of it. So the amateur wrestler said that he hates people like Jim Sterling He hates the gender folks that are intruding on it and making it a fucking joke because he takes it seriously It's actually his job


1:42:45
Unknown_18:  While it's fine as a host for this show, YouTube on its own just... isn't all that useful to me. Not as a long-term career thing. And on that note, like last time, I've got to thank the many people who continue to support my work through Patreon. That the core audience has never gone away. That they continue to believe in the work we do here is what's most important.  I can still publish this show every week without ad revenue, without sponsorships, without paywalling content. Without that support, I'd have thrown in the towel. I'd have had to. Or at the very least start hawking Raid fucking Shadow Legends, at which point I'd have no credibility. I've had to transition in an industry and on a platform that's notably hostile to trans people for two years now.  physically changing in front of an audience week by week, weathering a ton of awful bullshit from the people who never wanted to see it. It's been really hard to go so publicly through something so personal. And I can say this, I've stood by it.  No matter how much people want to claim I'm an entirely different person, who mourned the old Jim Sterling, I stuck to my principles, produced the content I wanted without compromise, just like I always have, and I'm proud of that. Last time, I used the asinine accusation that I transitioned for career purposes to discuss how hard things are for us. In the time since then, shit's gotten so much worse. Last time was before TransPanic became pushed, not just day one.


1:44:02
Unknown_03:  Lesbians who feel pressure to have sex in relationships with trans women This is something that he threw a fit about and a bunch of people threw a fit about Because the BBC published this and it's true If you know any lesbians and you ask them about the trans panic shit with them They'll say that they have female only spaces many lesbians are survivors of sex abuse and childhood sex abuse and  then they're in this the circle that's for women and you have people like Jim Sterling show up in them and they're deeply uncomfortable and it and it sucks it sucks for them because they have this thing and it gets intruded upon and it feels like they're being violated again because their their space is being crept crept in basically so yeah that's what this when he talks about the BBC having transphobia by policy this is what he's referring to


1:45:01
Unknown_18:  Daily by tabloids, but on TV constantly. It was before the groomer libel, the claims that queer people are all trying to fuck kids, became a popular activity in the mainstream. It was before the UK government made plans to rewrite the Human Rights Act to specifically exclude trans people, and US legislators introduced over 150 anti-trans bills that ban us from public spaces, turn transition into a felony, and give adults the right to inspect children's genitals at school to root out the trans ones. And they call us the groomers.  This was before the Tories started decreeing that all trains- Wait, wait, hold up.


1:46:00
Unknown_03: Genitals at school. Give adults the right- No. That is a lie. There was a- There have been a Bill's- Penis inspection day is a real thing. However, the Bill said that if there was any doubt about a child's gender, uh, sex, like, actual sex characteristics, they would have to get a note from the doctor saying which sex characteristics they had.  So, the whole penis inspection day being carried out by, you know, Uncle Melvin, who works as the P.E. teacher, that's bullshit. That's a literal lie. Oh, sorry.


1:46:33
Unknown_08: ...women be put in men's prisons knowing full well what will happen.


Unknown_18: Some of their supporters are even looking forward to it. Basically, we've regressed to a really terrifying degree.


Unknown_01: Commander, it's me, your favorite wrestler, Benji!


Unknown_01:  The Land of Gentry, me and Zeo Knox have heard the good news, we've heard the great news! You have lost another 100,000 subscribers! You see these 100,000 subscribers, they're good people, they're great people, they're smart people! They're just like me, they can't stand your guts!


1:47:10
Unknown_01: But if you want one tip, if you want one little bit of advice from me, Benji,  Well, I'll give you it here. Why don't you allow me and Zeo to take over your channel? You see, if you want- A wee little dwarf, bow-legged minge, coming out, trying to support the James Stefani Sterling.


Unknown_02: Oh my god. If you want that money, if you want that ad revenue, you know who to look to.


Unknown_01: The money makers, ZeoDot and Benji. You know it makes sense.


Unknown_18:  None of us are transitioning because we casually choose to. It's not a bid, it's not a goof, it's not a career move, it's who we are. And despite the setbacks, the fear, and the cost, I'm proud of me, of us. And I'm still happy. Happier than I ever was before. Happier than the person I'm told is missed. The hopeless person who didn't take care of themself.  who let themselves be exploited and abused by others, who had given up on being happy and was just filling time until they died. You mourn me as if I've died, when I feel more alive than ever. That used to be weird to me, but I've been trans for a while now and I got used to it. It's just how we're treated.


1:48:21
Unknown_11: Oh no!


Unknown_03: Oh no! He's come back! He's come back! Ah! He's not dressed! He's not dressed! I can't believe it.


Unknown_11:  Sound quality here, I'm exhausted. Just got out of the shower after taking a dip in the City River, the Boston City River, Charles River, following some of Steph's advice from about eight years ago, where Steph advised me to become the River City Goblin, to dip my body in the Brown River City.


1:49:00
Unknown_03:  If this video was taken out of context and published on its own you would think that this person is literally mentally ill completely unhinged and a danger to himself and others and for some reason this is supposed to be like a skit and pounce on passers-by screaming goblin justice


Unknown_11:  and attacking them with a knapsack full of frozen soda cans in order to make the city a safer place and up my profile. So after swimming in the river and trying to pounce on people for about 25 minutes, my body starts to itch in my underwear.  because of course I was wearing only underwear, starts to turn brown and I need to get washed quickly. So I went to a local YMCA in order to wash my body.


Unknown_03: There's like a baby changing station. He's filming this in a public bathroom with a baby changing station. Bro, what the, this is legit like unhinged. I don't know what the, I don't know what compelled this guy or made this look like a good idea, but really, I'm getting some sicko vibes from this man.


1:49:57
Unknown_11: Body before it corroded.


Unknown_11:  So it's a little noisy here in the YNCA shower room, and you may see showers, shower people. Oh, look at that.


Unknown_11: Not bad. You may see some showers in the background, but the reason I'm making this video is to congratulate Step 4, finally getting under.


Unknown_03: The reason I'm making this video is to articulate the nature of my crimes to the government as a part of my court-mandated plea deal.  800,000 subscribers.


1:50:41
Unknown_11: As you lose subscribers, it is not unlike washing the bacteria, the rust, the muck from the river from your body. We all are flowing through the river.


Unknown_11:  life and along the way you're going to pick up all sorts of things some good some bad but losing things cleaning yourself is this guy like legitimately schizophrenic this reminds me when i was in third grade and i was preparing for the fcat


1:51:15
Unknown_03:  They showed examples of bad submissions they had gotten for the FCAT.


Unknown_03:  And like the score zero was dedicated to one who completely ignored the prompt and wrote this story about a parrot. Like the prompt was like right about this and it's supposed to be like a nonfiction prompt. He wrote a completely fiction story about his pet parrot coming in and like pooping on the teachers and eating people's food and making it like it was like a completely non sequitur parrot story. And it's like Jim Sterling gave this man a prompt.  write me, give me a 30 second video about, um, about my, uh, congratulating me for dipping under 800,000 subscribers because, you know, be sarcastic about it because it's going in reverse, but kind of congratulate me. And he took that prompt and this man is swimming in the river.  as a goblin trying to sexually harass people in his filthy underwear and filmed it in a public restroom in front of a baby changing station. He says that there are shower heads in the background. So he's in the showers of the men's restroom in the YMCA filming this. And it's like, what got lost in translation for you? Or this is how you respond to give me a congratulatory video in sarcasm.


1:52:28
Unknown_11:  Getting your subscriber list cleansed, as you will, of unwanted chaff, and I feel like I can say that now that the chaff is gone, is sometimes a good thing. You'd lead a more wholesome


Unknown_11:  full life with the people who really get you. And that's kind of the process of moving forward in our careers. Now you're a wrestler.


1:53:01
Unknown_09: This is where he lives!


Unknown_11: He lives in the YMCA!


Unknown_03: Because he's an amateur wrestler and he makes all his money doing wrestling gigs with Jim Sterling. So he lives in the Y. Now you have less subscribers. You still have tons of patrons though.


Unknown_11: So cheddar cheese is coming in.


Unknown_11:  And all the better for moving forward without the chaff, so congratulations. Bye, chaff.


Unknown_03: Bye. That's my new name. The homeless schizophrenic has given me a nickname, and my name is now Chaff. That's just my new nickname granted to me by the local schizophrenic that lives in the YMCA. Thanks, Ashens. I appreciate it. Call me Chaff. Don't call me Josh anymore.


1:53:35
Unknown_18:  Yeah, I've got a Trendmasters 1991 A&E Hunter Bendy figure. So that's worthless.


Unknown_18: Anyway, there you have it. Another 100k down, can't wait until the next special. Some fans of JK Rowling, by the way, and just...  twats in general. We're really celebrating the fact that the Hogwarts episode- Ace! Ace!


1:54:14
Unknown_03: That was me! That's literally me that did that! That's me, chat!


Unknown_18: Um, a lot of people were celebrating that that was the video that finally knocked me down.


Unknown_18:  I'm pretty proud of that. In fact, considering the subject matter, I think it's pretty fucking appropriate.


Unknown_03: I'm not fucking butt-blasted at all.


Unknown_03: I'm only getting butt-blasted by the homeless men at the YMCA. That don't bother me none at all.


1:54:47
Unknown_18:  But that video was the one. I didn't want to do two episodes in a row focused on trans stuff, but you know what? I think it worked out quite nicely.


Unknown_18: Speaking of working out quite nicely, we'll have another video next week. Thank God for me. You know, we really could have done with, like, more glitz and glam. It was a little last minute. I'd have liked some cavorting clowns, maybe. That would have been


Unknown_03:  My boy, I think you've got the clowns covered. I think there's enough clowning going on for everybody. Oh boy, a clown.


1:55:22
Unknown_03: If you're into wrestling, I don't know what the fuck is wrong with you, but this is some fucking retard shit.


Unknown_04:  Hello everybody, I've been told I'm the number 12. I think I've been told. And if you lose, a hundred subscribers. Really good job.


1:55:56
Unknown_04: I'm going to do some pie tricks to make you feel better.


Unknown_08:  I know he's trying to do a thing, but this is more retarded than the homeless man in the YMCA bathroom.


1:56:33
Unknown_03:  You know, this man, this, this is his wrestling shtick, I think. So this is like, he expects to be paid for this. He expects that if there's a crowd of people who come out to see like, you know, a wrestling thing, that this is what they want to see. And the thing is, I've never seen a wrestling thing. Is this what people want to see? Is this what they want to pay for? Like, I don't know. I guess people who are into wrestling, this is what they consider entertainment. Everything makes sense if you can contextualize it. Like why is everything so not funny? Oh, it's a wrestling thing.


Unknown_21:  Ask Ralph. Watch out, there's a suicide bomber behind you.


1:57:07
Unknown_03:  Wait, nevermind, nevermind, let him get you. What are you doing?


Unknown_04: Ah, what? You see, I don't know what I'm doing.


1:57:44
Unknown_03: Ah, Commander Sterling. British people, man, what the fuck?


Unknown_04: You are a Chinese, sir. And a lot of our defences are damaged, so I must say, good luck.


Unknown_14: Oh, I see.


Unknown_14: Congratulations, Commander Sterling, for losing yet another 100,000


Unknown_03:  She's Scottish. She's Scottish. So all those people are like, uh-uh. We gotta rebuild Adrian's wall because the British people are all fucked up. That's a Scottish accent. You build that wall, you just cut the cancer in half. I'm sorry, you're still cancer.


1:58:18
Unknown_14: All the love from us here at the Freak Show.


Unknown_21: Is this it? Is that the outro? That's the outro. That's how he ended it.


Unknown_21:  man that's like that's like when when they start playing the real shitty music to get you out of the bar because they're closing like that's your cue stop fucking watching this shit's over now he saved he saved it because he knew nobody except people like me would watch this shit to the very end so he saved the absolute worst um for for the uh for the finale let's just play through is there like anything no it's just like proper subtitles


1:59:09
Unknown_03:  Such a good song that he's completely stolen. I don't you know, what's funny is that I'll actually play his intro song is this But it's like rendition in different ways


Unknown_19:  Where's the best part?


1:59:42
Unknown_03:  It's a really good song. I like it. It's like a MySpace ban. It's, I don't know, like the thing is, is that it's like a obscure MySpace ban and it only recently got put into the YouTube algorithm. This is 2021. So for years, Jim Sterling has used this as like his intro song. I guarantee you he has not paid this woman a fucking penny. And when they added it to the, um,


Unknown_03:  I don't even know if it's in the thing. I guess he just accepts the copyright claim on the channel. I don't know if they monetize it or if it's in Content ID because it's such an obscure song. But for years, because I played this song in my videos, and I know for a fact that when I played it only a couple of years ago, it wasn't in the Content ID system. So he's just been stealing this song and using it as his theme. I guarantee you he's not paid that fucking woman a cent.


2:00:14
Unknown_00: I don't have any evidence for it, but I'm going to assume in bad faith that that's the case.


Unknown_03:  So, um, that's it.


Unknown_03: That's, that is the, the long awaited, uh, review live watch of the Jim Sterling under 800,000 special. I, I had a feeling years ago that when he did this the first time, um, it would be super salty. And this one is also super salty and funny. It's just like,  It's gross on display, it's utterly shameless, it's basically telling people to go to the Patreon. By the way, you should subscribe to my Gumroad. If you go to manatheinternet.com or mani.live, you'll see a link to the Gumroad. You should subscribe to my Gumroad.


2:00:53
Unknown_03: Basically saying that if you don't make money, I don't make money on YouTube, but everyone gives me their fucking cash anyways, so whatever, I don't care. But he does care. I think it really hurts him to know that...


Unknown_03:  that the the mainstream like he was told for years before like like he's kind of right that it was mainstream to come out like five years ago and since that time he's always been told constantly that trans shit is the new hip trendy thing and it's what everybody likes and everybody supports it and then when he actually does it he's like oh wait a second people think this is like a fetish thing because i i treat it like a fetish and i sexually harass lesbians


2:01:48
Unknown_03:  And I talk about my greasy man tits all the time. And I think that hurts his feelings. And that's why he's so scorned about it.


Unknown_03: But who knows? Who knows what goes on in the sick minds of these people.


Unknown_03:  So that being said I'm gonna go through super chats. I will also read super This is I'll switch us to show mode if you don't know if never watched this before because there are more people than usual watching I Flip my screen green and I start reading super chats that come through and I respond to them. I have a special British British chavvy song picked out in honor of Jim Sterling if you're not interested, no care. I  Your excuse from class for those of you who like the super chat stuff I will do that now For those of you who want to depart I will see you on Friday I'm still doing my Friday stream and it will be a double week catch-up because I did not get to do my stream last Friday due to my wisdom teeth being removed and in case you're curious my wisdom tooth is feeling just fine my Roots were apparently super super straight. I'm super straight who would have thought and  And there were no issues or complications at all. So I feel just fine.


2:02:53
Unknown_03: Okay. That being said, let's pull up the thingies.


Unknown_03: And I think I have this set correctly.


Unknown_08:  OK.


Unknown_03: Anonymous for one says a limerick. The marriage to horse is now moot because Ethan plus Nick is so cute. Invite Keffel's along for a three way gone wrong. Admit you're a faggot you fruit. Very nice. Thank you. Keffel's is having a bit of a bit of an issue in their life. Surprise surprise. And I will be talking about that on Friday. But I'll save it for that. I'm assuming that person expected me to talk about that on Friday. So that's why they sent it.  TV state for three says I know this isn't much money. Can you read Bible versus Romans? 128 Kingdom version kind of sounds like Ralph home. Okay Bibles 128. This is a specific version. I think so Oh, okay, hold on


2:03:25
Unknown_03:  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind to do those things which are not convenient. Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetedness, maliciousness, full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity, whispers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents without understanding." He's disobedient to, like, multiple people's parents.


2:04:02
Unknown_03:  Without understanding covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful, without knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only to do the same, but to have pleasure in them that do them."


Unknown_03: Yeah, that does sound like Ralph. I mean, they're awful, wicked people. There always has been. Ralph isn't the first person to be awful and wicked, but yeah, I wouldn't put it past Ralph to do anything. He's really, really, really moral-less.


2:04:50
Unknown_03:  uh lung for five says shout out to my jenny friend failure please let them know to sweep it up uh failure you are behind on your duties we've already paid you uh your your stipend of zero dollars sweep it the fuck up now mr t says chinese word of the week is chun zhu meaning stupid the literal translation being dumb pig well i think we all know of a chun zhu


Unknown_03:  And in mine, I guess everyone, Ralph has been up to a lot of stupid shit, so I'm behind on my Ralph of mail lore as well. I apologize. I know everyone wanted to get their fill of the Ralph shit last week, but such is life. C Grunty for 10 says, do you think Ralph actually believes his own bullshit off stream all by himself? Do you think he views himself as a kick-ass successful macho superstar? He pretends to be.


Unknown_03:  Or is he fully aware of how badly he's ruined his own life? Um, I don't think that Ralph has any, any concept of introspection. Like, you know, those people who are like NPCs and they, they can't think of like words in their heads. They don't have like a voice in their head. Ralph is one of those people. He's driven by his every waking moment, every waking limb, and he doesn't have the ability to be like, Hmm, that's kind of fucked up. Hmm. If that happened to me, I wouldn't really appreciate it. So I'm not going to do it to other people like that kind of shit. It just doesn't happen in his head. It doesn't work that way.


2:05:42
Unknown_03:  Thank you. Wilbur Watelli for 2137 says, have a good week ahead. Thank you very much. This was a couple of days ago. I'm having a pretty good week so far, except for not being able to eat pizza on Sunday. Rest in peace.


2:06:16
Unknown_03: Justin Martier for 20 says, Jersh, why are you so afraid to confess your deep and abiding love for Tracer from Overwatch as you have done in the past?


Unknown_03:  um it was a mistake to ever say anything tracer is a fictional character from the mind of a blizzard employee who probably drinks women's breast milk and i disavow all all video game characters because it's it's just like they use they just use sex appeal to like steal money from men and or from it's like a form of advertising you know what i mean and i i disavow


2:06:57
Unknown_03:  That's why I don't mind when people say, in video games, women shouldn't just be sexy caricatures of what men want to see, because I feel like it's manipulative. I know what you're trying to do. You're trying to advertise to me this game by manipulating my monkey mind, and I don't appreciate it.


Unknown_03:  David's 877 for $19.99 says, sadly I can't watch live, but I'm sure it was, will be a good stream. This was on the 17th as well. Sorry, buddy. You got no stream for your $19.99. Hopefully this made up for it. I apologize.  A friend from Fit for Two says, hi Josh, are you still fat and unfit? I am. Today I swept up my garden a little bit. I'm going to plant some stuff. What I'm planning to plant is more banana peppers, carrots, some fleshy tomatoes because I don't like like boogery tomatoes. I want fleshy ones that I can use in them. When you do like tomatoes and mozzarella cheese with olive oil, I want to make those fresh. I'm planning to get alongside garlic and basil. So I'm going to be germinating that very soon.


2:07:37
Unknown_03:  I'll give you some plant updates this year, but I will have to buy like a spade my Backdoor area is not like tiny enough to grow in there. I have to work on it Kkk crystal for five says make sure you eat something before you take pain meds or you might throw up wisdom teeth can be a bitch But hope it isn't too bad for your teeth or not bones Good to best a wrong mine Kiwi. Thank you. I did not take any pain kills and I


2:08:09
Unknown_03:  I literally, it was a yank. The operation to remove the tooth was shorter than it was waiting for the anesthetics to kick in. So it was completely painless and they literally prescribed me two Benadryl, not even like super high octane Benadryl. I did not get anything except for the local anesthetic. And then I got two Benadryl for swelling and it's been, it's been fine. So I'm just, I'm just, you know, eating things that are, that they recommend you eat so I don't get dry socket. Everything, everything's fine though.

Unknown_03:  HarambeRiver2 says, insert cash or choose another payment option, insert card, then follow pinpad instructions. Debit, credit, ACH. 1, 2, 3, 4.


Unknown_03: Would you like cashback? 5, 10, 20, none. Please rate the cleanliness of our store today. Good, neutral, poor. Please take your receipt.  I have no idea what that's a reference to, but it's just like the ATM instructions. Thank you, though. Now, Mr. Five says, this trunery nonsense was 100% the result of Jim's ex-wife destroying him mentally. It is no coincidence that they look almost identical. You don't know, Jim Sterling had a wife that looked exactly like him, and apparently they were into cuckolding, so that might be why he's so mentally ill now. But if you tolerate cuckolding, you're already mentally ill. Thank you, though.  Rungle Gamer from 534 says, playing Hogwarts Legacy, Atomic Heart, and High on Life right now on my PC on Ultra to prove a point against Wokedus. Had multiple complaints about my neighbors about a burning smell coming from my apartment and the police have been called. Sorry bros, it's the end. Well, Rungle is apparently going to die due to an ATF raid on his transphobe dungeon. Rest in peace, Rungle. I'll miss your superchats that don't really make sense and I'm pretty sure aren't from Rungle at all.  DeathlyHollywood45 says, I would love to go back in time and show 2012 Sterling his current catalog, then show that reaction to 2023 Sterling.


2:10:02
Unknown_03: That's an interesting thought experiment. I really don't know what, I wouldn't even place a guess on what his reaction would be, you know, if he would be mortified.  Because you kind of feel like a person like that always has to be in there somewhere. Maybe it was always a fetish, you know what I mean? Like AGP shit, he'd wear like his sister's panties around or his mom's underwear. Like who knows? I would not even be able to wager a guess. I would not put money on anything. That's being his actual reaction.


Unknown_03:  Grumbacher for Tuesday says, since you ignored my talk to staff request, I'll make you address it here. Who gave me true and honest tag, moderator status, premium forum player status added, donation rules circumvented?


2:10:41
Unknown_03: It's up to people who donate if they want to tell people who gave them true and honest. I will never tell you, my friend. I apologize.


Unknown_03:  Um, Tanuki Spellcasting Modifier for 534 says, I won't lie, my wand is a gun and it knows only one spell. Bang, got a snort out of me. Just for a second, old Jim was back. It's true. If that was like his only joke, that would be funny, but it went on and on and you have to watch, you have to actually look at him while he's talking.


2:11:17
Unknown_03: Uh, by the way, I might have to get up for a second, um, cause I have to pee. I'm sure, but I really would hate to have to split the super chats in half.


Unknown_03:  Cat boy ranch dressing for 250 says the word transphobe implies. I'm afraid of them. I'm not afraid of them I'm disgusted by them. That's true. It's very true cat boy. You're interesting. Good point. Thank you. Not wings for 10 says real talk Josh Why don't you appear offline and stop the DDoS attacks on the Kiwi farms?

Unknown_03:  Seek a lover pretends. That's an Harry Morris trying to get the IRS on Ralph The IRS is the beating heart of Satan the US federal government is the most evil entity that has ever existed ever in human history I would never condone anyone talking to the feds in any context ever Unless it was like someone's out to kill them, but then again the local police are gonna be one like for real I can't think of a good reason to justify talking to the police at all and  However, Harry Morris is directly involved, so if he wants to report Ethan Ralph to the police, there's literally not a fucking thing I can do about it because he's not even on the Kiwi farms. So I hope Ralph paid his taxes. I know I have. I know it sucks. I still have to file, even though I love the country. The US is the only country in the world that taxes expats. But what are you going to do about it? Fight the system? I don't think so.

2:13:07
Unknown_03:  Abominable Hellman410 says, Haggar the Horrible may be a reference to Brad Neely's of China, Illinois fame, Wizard People, Dear Reader. It's a bit where he took the first Harry Potter film, muted it, and narrated over it. It's actually pretty funny and worth tracking down. Well, that's a deep cut. That went right over my head. I've never even heard of this. But he says it's Brad Neely's China of Illinois fame, Wizard People, Dear Reader. That's a lip reading, a bad lip reading or whatever.


Unknown_03:  Thank you. Kepway Ranch Racing for one says, Robbie Coltrane, Hagrid's actor, didn't disavow J.K. Rowling either, so the Troon Brigade harassed him and celebrated when he died. Oh, wonderful. Jolliest big guy from the movie. That's pretty base. He took his W to the grave, and the Troons can see it, but they'll join him sooner rather than later.


2:13:49
Unknown_03: Dramatical Birder for five says, Google Maps.


Unknown_03:  He has linked me to Troon, a consulting company in Chicago, Illinois, which has a website at troon.com. And the first thing you've seen is a white man playing golf and they have a banner that says Troon Cares, learn more.


2:14:23
Unknown_03: They might end up changing that name in this year.


Unknown_03:  Thank you. Aaron Vice for 10 says, I work at a book factory that has exclusive rights to all seven Harry Potter books. I feel proud contributing to total to T.T.D. by loading books onto a conveyor. Congratulations. Few people get to work in the actual munitions factory of World War Four, the fascist takeover of the world through Harry Potter literature.


Unknown_03:  Aiko 2137 for or for 2137 says this week's pizza is on me Jay. Thank you. That does actually cover a pizza. I appreciate it Now this for once is play this church. It's translated in only only a minute long back when local news wasn't afraid I Really got to get through this. I really apologize. I don't want to play clips unless it's like Someone has paid the toll has paid the toll the Josh toll and  David s 877. I'm sorry though. I appreciate it David 7s 877 425 says okay this time. I remember to check there was a stream before sending a tip Maybe I'll get to watch later. Happy Tuesday. Well, hopefully you got to see your stream today. I appreciate it Dainty from the devil may cry series for one says I remember when you first watched buck breaking everyone thought it was hilarious now every other week I hear you make reference to it. I can't believe Tariq was right about everything  Um, I mean I think when I watched that I still said he's so close like he says things that make sense But it's like mired in all this other like bullshit quackery. That's like why can't you're so close. Can you not be not retarded?

I'm buying 20 copies of transphobic legacy Congratulations. Enjoy. I was gonna run you about a thousand dollars. I hope it's worth it. I  James Sterling for five says you'll never be a real ally You played Harry Potter you uh, you have a you do have a wand you do cast magic spells You have a you've worn the sorting hat. You are a real wizard. You're not a real ally


2:16:01
Unknown_03:  J.K. Rowling for 10 says, thanks for being an ally, Josh. Thank you, J.K. Rowling. The real J.K. Rowling, I hope and assume. I appreciate it. Anonymous for 30 says, Josh, thoughts on the future graphic design with the advent of AI? Or can media illustrate new animation as well, getting out after paying debts? What would you suggest for going indie making 100 to 200K? Thanks for the little switching to this. If you can genuinely do art and you have the tenacity to learn how the machine learning stuff works, I think that you'll be able to use machine learning


2:16:35
Unknown_03:  Especially with like the in painting stuff to kind of like get at least like get like the background stuff done You know what? I mean, and then you can polish it up a little bit with finer lines to get exactly what you want Especially with character design It's bad at making identical characters between like different frames if you can just draw the characters and have like really like detailed background Or you can just change things to make them look more consistent You can probably save yourself a ton of time and put out stuff that people would pay a lot of money for  But, you know, that's all art. That's like, I don't do machine learning. I don't do art. So that's all. It's up to you to pioneer. It would literally be pioneering. And that's what they call a blue ocean marketing. That's when you sell something that didn't exist before. And that's where the money is in the blue ocean.  SGT wizard fist for five says trainees constantly screaming that no one cares about them when every other major actor politician organization supports them and their forces their shit on everyone all the time That's true. I mean, I don't know how they could possibly feel alone because all I see is pro-trans stuff They feel alone when they realize that the public doesn't actually support them and people are fucking sick of it And they just want this shit to go away. That's what makes them feel alone. I

Unknown_03:  Retard alert for 10 says hey Josh first time doing thank you for saying the term transphobia is retarding We are not afraid of these freaks. We despise them and are disgusted by them. Yeah, I don't know when I look at Jim Sterling I just say like this is someone I just don't want around around me. I'm not afraid of him I just don't want I mean, I'm afraid for like kids and stuff and  I'm afraid for people. I'm afraid for, like, young generations that are being taught that this is normal. Like, when I talk to Turkey Tom, he's just like, well, you just kind of have to live life on a bended knee to these people, don't you? I was like, no! You don't! Tell them to fuck off, and that they're gross, and you don't like them. For real. No cap, no cap.

Unknown_03:  Animal Comptroller for 1776 says, I think it's Comptroller, I don't think you actually pronounce it Comptroller. Animal Comptroller for 1776 says, Timothy George Amoroso has an incredibly small penis, a baby dick if you will, an absolutely tiny worm, a wee little willy, a pathetic pecker, a trivial tallywhacker, a petty prick, a teeny tool, what a microscopic manhood. Everyone knows that. Timothy Amoroso completely roasted.  Now Mr. Two says, please don't refer to the Star of David as the Star of David, but rather say the Star of Rimfen. Also, please explain why people do not like the GNUvo DRM software for people who would like to know. I did explain that DRM is considered spyware. It apparently scans your computer and does all sorts of nasty stuff that people don't like. People also say that it drops your frames, but I haven't noticed anything like that. There's a big list, but...


2:19:04
Unknown_03:  That is what it is. I know that the Star of David goes by many different things. It's also called the King's Sigil or something. That's like, that's like Kabbalic mysticism that I don't, I don't fully understand. It's just colloquially, if I say Star of David, everyone knows what I'm talking about.

Unknown_03:  Sneed Oil Commissioner for three says, first time donor. The three about the German granny tranny Georgine Kellerman is particularly terrifying. I can only read German. I've asked people who cover German locales to talk about Georgine and who they are because she's so powerful.  I do not know anything about Georgian color men, but I bet because like people in Western Europe are terrified to offend someone's feelings. Because if you're a German and you say, well, maybe we should take a critical look at all this, eh? They'll be like, what are you, some kind of fucking Nazi? What are you, like stomping on the graves of Jewish children? Like, what the fuck's wrong with you, bro? Like, why do you want to kill the LG? What should we do? Should we put stars on them? Put little pink triangles on their shirts, bro? Come on, bro. What's wrong with you?


2:20:16
Unknown_03:  Sucks to be German, feel bad for those motherfuckers.


Unknown_03:  Never forget for one says any thoughts about Drexel's view on women given he has a daughter. I think it's absolutely disgusting and I think that that girl is going to have a fucked up sense of self if she's growing up with someone who who talks like that. I mean it's same with Cozy Rosie like Ralph is already calling her a bitch. She's not even one year old and she's being referred to as a bitch by her father. Do you think that girl is going to have self-esteem. Do you think she's going to make good decisions for her body. No that woman is going to be fucked up. Same with Drexel.  That's why, I don't want to get too racist, but there is a certain, having heard the opinions of many African Americans throughout my years on the internet,  There is a certain consensus among, um, melanated men that, uh, women of color are, uh, not so attractive to them in part because of some attitudes that they have, which could be attributed to fatherlessness or poor father figures. Um, and that's, that's quite tragic because, you know, women have the melanin, which is the connection to Gaia mother or earth. The blackness is a direct connection to the life giving mother Gaia. And when you reject the curly hair.  the afro bad things happen so raised raised fist i stand with uh the black people on on on youtube and i wish them the best with their community repairing

Unknown_03:  Kers Sherard for 15 says, Howdy Josh, thanks for streaming today. I'm sure I speak for at least a few others when I say I'm glad to see you stream after being deprived of your comfy insides on Friday. I hope your teeth feel better and you're doing good. P.S. How are them pain pills? B. Smelly face. Well, I've already discussed that I got subscribed literally to ibuprofen. I did not get a prescription for ibuprofen. I got two pills of ibuprofen, but I've not in any pain. Everything's going fine. Hopefully that doesn't change, but I'm doing pretty well. Thank you.  Eat dirt drink bleach for $1 says unlimited Kiwi power. I'm assuming into This was a response as Jim referencing us directly He's never never referenced the Kiwi farms directly, by the way, not even during drop Kiwi farms Like he retweeted some careful shit, but he has never said Kiwi farms ever. There's no sound clip of him. No tweet ever Directly referencing me or the forum which I mean props to him He does a good job at ignoring shit and focusing on what he likes, which is opiates and amateur wrestling

Unknown_03: Small kitten for five says my cat, formerly Mr. Mittens, now Mrs. Mittens, just went through gender surgery because she just started her new life. She gets nine more lives. However, she just got hit by a bus and she is now in a coma. Please pray for Mrs. Mittens. Presto for Mr. Mittens. I apologize.


Unknown_03:  Bick Sneed for 1069 says, everything makes so much more sense with the recent revelations about Ralph. His fawning over Jen, the obsession with your dick, the infidelity, the anal incontinence.


2:25:09
Unknown_03: The F just hit chat, I just saw it. His hatred of women, why he picked May, and why he so desperately wants a son. Well, chat, we'll get to that and more on Friday. Be sure to tune in and find out what he's referring to.  Actually, I already published a video about his gay revelation, so it's not that much of a mystery. But we'll definitely talk about Ralph on Friday and have a good laugh about it.


Unknown_03: MK for $2 says, hey Josh, I'm not watching the stream, but I'll catch you on the RSS feed. Any thoughts about WebAssembly?


Unknown_03: WebAssembly is great. Faster JavaScript. What's wrong with WebAssembly? Oh, you can't really decompile WebAssembly. That's the thing. It's not like JavaScript where you can read the source code. It's a way to obfuscate source code.  It's anti-fos, I guess, but I mean, JavaScript is already pretty illegible unless you have the source code.


2:25:42
Unknown_03: So I don't know.


Unknown_03: It's just faster and it's more obscure, but not that much. It's okay. WebAssembly is okay.  Thank you. And the actual for $20 says, I'm so glad I never watched Sterling. He's fucking wine so much and his dumb accent makes it worse. Um, yeah, his voice is pretty fucking annoying, but I don't know what to say. Uh, like British comedy is, is, can be pretty funny. I like dry humor a lot and British humor is very dry. Um, I don't know. Uh, there's a, uh,


2:26:14
Unknown_03:  It's just he just did it better before and that's why I said my main criticism is I just don't think he likes video games anymore and he doesn't really have the balls to fully commit to a completely different style of topic. He just sort of tries to talk about politics by disguising it as a video game thing and it doesn't work. I don't think anyone likes it.


2:26:51
Unknown_03:  Koli Adante says, Jim hates sexy she-lob, he must secretly wanna bang sexy she-lob.


Unknown_03: That is a reference to something I said a long time ago. There's a meme that's like, arachnophobic, you must secretly wanna fuck spiders. And then, I love that logic. Transphobic, you must secretly love, you must be a chaser. Homophobic, you must be secretly gay. Hate sexy she-lob, you must wanna bang sexy she-lob.


2:27:24
Unknown_03:  I bet he does, though. Let's be real. She is a goth girl, pretty much, in that depiction of her. I bet he would.


Unknown_03: Ace of spades, even if she couldn't bite his neck and inject poison and then suck out his insides, I bet he would still do it. He'd be happy that way. He would die a happy man.


Unknown_03: Ace of spades for 534 says, fuck, forgot you were going to stream tonight.


Unknown_03:  I'm sending you to basically self-flagellate myself. Like I said, I've been a member of the Gumroad for more than a year and haven't watched a single video there. I clearly hate myself. Once a month, I put out something special just as a thank you. I think a lot of people on the Gumroad just do it because they want to support month to month, which I really appreciate.


2:27:55
Unknown_03: The money goes a long way, especially here.


Unknown_03:  Thank you.


Unknown_03: Kolya Dante for 15 says, Rat King crossover, the fat black woman in Jim's video, Tanya DePass, friend of Jake Alley. Well, well, well.


Unknown_03: The Rat King, it's true. It's a small group of people and they all know each other because it's a I guess when you're in the industry, you just know. It's like how Keffels knows


2:28:28
Unknown_03:  not bruce jenner the other one chelsea bradley manning chelsea manning uh... very strange that uh... that catholic twitch streamer would know the wiki leaks guy uh... who was pardoned by obama by the way in case you're wondering he had a long sentence for uh... leaking federal secret you know department of defense secrets uh... which allegedly supposedly got members of our service killed


Unknown_03:  And he had a jail sentence for it. And then Obama commuted the sentence.


2:29:00
Unknown_03: Gobbles, for one, says the trans woman being forced into a man's prison thing that Jim was referring to was this British MTF double rapist who recently got forced to move back to a man's prison for obvious reasons, if you didn't know. Yeah. Sexual assault in prison and women's prisons is going way, way up. It's just the thing.  It's just the thing where now we have this horrific security state that sends people to jail for years and years for non-violent offenses. And then if you're a woman and you're trapped in a cell with somebody else, your cellmate might be a man who is convicted of a sex offense, who's intact with a fully erect cock that will just rape you, I guess for years. It might kill you if you try to tell somebody.  Welcome to hell. Welcome to hell. It's called the U.S. federal government. Our country is set up to be a fucking nightmare that people are forced to live in. Have fun.


2:29:43
Unknown_03: And when people try to challenge this, they're called fascists. I hope you're not a fascist, chat.


Unknown_03:  I call you Dante for 15 says rat king crossover this fat black away in our rhythm Eat your drink bleach for one says trans people solely responsible for accelerate accelerating the biblical apocalypse. It does feel that way sometimes isn't it? I actually looked into I got curious like what if the apocalypse has already happened? What if the rapture already happened and we're just in like hell what if what if we're in like a godless world because the rapture already happened and


2:30:17
Unknown_03:  And I look this up, and I don't want to get this wrong when I recite it, but it's called, oh, it's called Praetorism, I think is how you pronounce this. It's like Peterism, but with an R after the P. Praetorism. It's a very niche belief that we live in hell, the rapture has already happened, and this is now a godless world. This is your theology thing, fun fact for the day. And apparently there's an entire study dedicated to


2:30:57
Unknown_03:  the end times and it's called eschatology. I don't know if I'm pronouncing that right. Probably not. Eschatology. And this is the end times and, uh, patriotism is a type of eschatology chat. Fun fact.


Unknown_03:  Internet friend for right now small kitten for five says update mrs. Mittens came out of her coma But immediately attempted unalive by choking herself on her own tail. I'm not sure why she'd do this any words of wisdom to help her You got to give you got to jog the nog and make miss mrs. Kittens Forget their transition and then I think they'll be fine. I


2:31:37
Unknown_03:  I think that usually works out for people who get dementia, right?


Unknown_03: Internet friend from 534 says, Hey Josh, I turned it late. So I'm watching it delayed. Just so you know, they use the word phobia because they imply it is a normal, natural thing. And it's discussed as artificial. It's a form of new speak. It's at least good to see some immune to Kafka trapping.


Unknown_03:  Yeah, I mean, the war on words is very obvious to me. It's like it's very 1984 and I hate referencing 1984 because it's like the most basic bitch dystopian book to reference. But when I see people who are very particular about words like person of color versus like black person.


2:32:11
Unknown_03:  I hate that. I hate how they've allowed words like nationalism and fascism to become inherent evils. I hate how they've erased parts of history that are important.


Unknown_03:  And it's so obvious to me when I see it happening It's it's almost sort of like petty and pedant like to point these things out, but I do it does aggravate me Anonymous for one says me a poor fag donating $1 to Joshua. No moon. He's awesome and will read my super chat demanding Pippa show pits. Oh my buddy, you're you're gonna be disappointed cuz I ain't fucking doing that and  Analyst for two says what number do you think Jimbo will bottom out? Will they make it to 500,000? So many he's been around for so long that many of those subscribers just don't have their accounts anymore I think that he'll probably what will probably happen is um, I


2:32:50
Unknown_03:  He'll probably get somewhere, I don't know, hard to say. He'll probably get somewhere between like 650 and then he'll just run out. Like people, like what happens is people see the videos that he puts out and say, ew, this sucks. And then unsubscribe.

Unknown_03:  He got with a Hapa and made a quadroon. I'm not sure if that's based or not.


Unknown_03: I'm going to say that's not.


Unknown_03: Depends. It depends on if your wife is a turf. I think I'll give it 1% extra white if your wife's a turf and therefore it's not a Hapa anymore and it's probably more passable.


Unknown_03:  Uh, congratulations on being libertarian though.


2:38:11
Unknown_03: Uh, a fed for 10 says any advice for her to stop being lazy and work on my internet side project. I have no motivation after programming all day long for my real job. I understand that completely. Um, I could not work a real job and do side projects either. I just found it too exhausting.  And when I make money coding, I feel like any time I'm doing side projects, I should be putting that money, putting that time into coding for what makes me money. You know what I mean? Even if the side project could make me money in the future, I just I find it difficult to wrangle with that. So I don't really have advice for you, except that I would suggest trying strict timelines.  You work nine to five Each day will only code on the weekends and you know Only do it when you feel like it or something don't try to do it the day of But yeah, it's a hard one to work with I understand your your suffering a suspense for 214 says just using I send you support cuz I love the forms and streams take care Josh and use money the way you think it's best to use I definitely do I'm spending it on gardening this very soon Appreciate it  flam for two says check jim's peak on graftron and check the date on the 900k subs video being trans might not be a career move but whining about being trans is a good one apparently uh let's see 900k we'll go back to the live on this

Unknown_03:  I could imagine if it was the, uh, the begging video.


Unknown_03: Okay. Let me check. Uh, I just need cause sometimes people send it on, send stuff on rumble and, um, uh, I guess the.


Unknown_03:  Rumble is broken. I don't know what the fuck is up with that. Oh, rumble never started. Great. I love, I love how rumble never fucking works for real. I don't know what's wrong. How, how hard is it? Like every other shipping platform can figure this out where you have like, uh, working tokens and stuff, but they just don't. It's so frustrating.
