I don't think it's projection. Josh is trying to drive away users he doesn't like because he probably regrets basing his life around edgelord websites and stale e-drama. Wouldn't you regret it if you were on every blacklist imaginable, constantly surrounded by lawsuits, and dependent on internet strangers to pay your bills? Even if Josh were to change his name and get a tech job in some third-world country, the company he'd work for would discover his name change and begin to get threats because of him.I feel like the Anime hate from Jewsh that he does every podcast is very performative and forced. I honestly think he's overcompensating almost as a way of proving to himself and his audience that he definitely isn't a Neko Shotacon anymore by attacking the medium of Anime itself. I don't like Anime but you don't hear me bitching about it every time it comes up in conversation. Everything Josh does and thinks has echoes from his past, everything from Jannying 8chan to Blockland, it all comes back to some shit over a decade old.
Josh has no chance to have anything in life except stale e-drama only internet losers care about. He lashes out at the internet losers in hopes that it will get "winners" (his words) to like him and give him opportunities. Josh attacks anime because the /a/ weebs he grew up around are imageboard losers, and he doesn't want that userbase anymore. Josh hates Metokur because Jim embodies and embraces everything Null wants to move away from. Josh simps for radfems because ladies who got banned from Facebook for disagreeing on trans issues are far closer to normie (and thereby success) than idiots obsessively archiving boring tweets and hours-long streams. Josh constantly gives the soyteens leeway because they're hostile to the "oldtroons" that make up Josh's main userbase. This self-hatred and dissatisfaction with life underpins all of Josh's recent actions. Don't obsess over the internet, kids, or else you'll turn into an obese pizza beast who can't get a credit card.
