The Algorithm keeps trying to get me to watch Sam Hyde, I hate him, but why does Null hate him again? Is it coz he always clears his throat in a really gross way?
almost entirely Null falling for the Marky bait, i highly doubt Null even really knew of or interacted with Sam Hyde or his fanbase before then, MDE mostly was an early-2010s era youtube group, they were parodying internet bullshit the same way Cer Spense or Mitsy or a lot of fuckers on TikTok do today, you didn't really get the edgyboi content people assume MDE was putting out, for fucks sake their most famous bit is parodying Ted Talks. after that is them mocking brooklyn hipsters or guys ranting in front of their bathroom mirror or bad kickstarters or corporate ad campaigns before the concept of a social media person was invented.
I'm not going to say its bland but its not the neo-nazi power hour you'd assume based World Peace and the rest of their output since.
Honestly very few people were putting out "far right" style content before 2015; it was still very niche, plus racism and sexism was still part of the "lefty" overton window to the point reddit was allowing it on the front page. i think Null even says he didn't really know of Sam Hyde beyond the "mass shooter" meme when he finally interviewed Marky and he only did that because of the fishtank thread showing that this sector was something worth paying attention to.
Null crashed out after that shitshow and that's why Lidl did the Re-write of the sam hyde thread and all the other shit has happend.
Most of Jim's audience is mostly Internet oldfags from a bygone era of the Internet that doesn't exist anymore.
exactly, Jim's output since 2020 has been so small that you could easily say most of his fans are in their 30s now, while most of the vtuber fans tend to be younger, but either way they're extremely popular because it gets rid of a major hurtle for streamers, which is looking good. If you've ever looked up radio personalities most of them are ugly as shit, but because they have the voice and especially the charisma it doesn't matter. Vtubers are just radio hosts with subway surfers-esque slop to keep zoomers attention.
Its why when everyone shittalks women streamers they go after their looks or their bad content, but the only point of attack for vtubers is the "pedo" accusation, same way you couldn't call Stern boring in the 90s.
I'll admit entirely that the amount of entertaining women i've encountered online has skyrocketed compared to a decade ago and without fail most of them didn't rely on looks to get attention. most vtubers are fugly as shit, but they're also way better at actually being entertaining vs the usual twitch whores.
Like its similar to how Tiktok and social media in general has allowed the more introverted types to show off their outgoing sides without being forced to get on a stage in front of people.
He always wanted to be a girl.
he didn't want to be a girl, he wanted to try life on an easier setting. thats a huge reason for most trannies too tbqh. Look at Keffals, you really think if they remained a dude they'd find success as a streamer? same thing with Kid Bandit, Hunter Schafer, Contrapoints, SuzySphereHunter, or Amy Schneider?
even in the comment you list, its nothing about being a woman and all about the power they have over people, comparing them to egyptian pharrohs or gangsters.
This has been known as far back as the 1970s with Tootsie and other entertainment, its especially attractive to men because as we see in sports, you will clean up hard vs a competition of women in anything besides looks. Even then, being a 4/10 girl will take you further than even being an 8/10 boy.
Like the fact that autistic dudes (retards) are able to thrive as women can show you how easy it is to be a woman, its like how Ethan Ralph level dudes can win 1 on 1 in basketball aganist WNBA stars or MMA's top women.
Either way, sounds like part of his scorn for all things Japanese comes from him being filtered by the language and cultural barrier. It's one thing to have personal preferences and dislike something, it's a whole other thing to do a 180 based on whether you succeed or fail at it. Grapes too sour, Josh?
he didn't have cartoon network as a kid? how the fuck do you not get into any anime? the WB in the late 90s and 2000s were just anime, and every high school had an anime club in the 90s, you'd think an outcase like Josh would flock to them. Also lol at Josh, the high school dropout thinking he'd be allowed to teach english. japanese is already one of the hardest languages to learn, but beyond that you need a college degree to teach over there. Even with everything i noted Japan is like the #1 destination for weirdos, so the waitlist to teach english over there is absurd, you'll have to do a few years somewhere else just to show you're a good enough teacher to go over there. My cousin teaches in japan and he still needed a few years in other countries working with the same company before they'd let him in japan and he's in a rural area getting paid fuck all. Not that it matters to him, but its fairly obvious teaching in japan, especially where he is, is on par with retail jobs or working at a resturant. its something for people in their 20s to experience and move on from. You can't live on that wage or start a family or own a house. Its something for you to experience and monkey branch over to something else on.
