No. Sterling came out as transgender two years ago and took a massive hit to her subscribers
Standing up to have a shit! What a bunch of mad lads!
No wonder Samantha Stevens was always wiggling her nose.
Sterling's channel had been bleeding subs for nearly a year before her announcement. There was a little spike in sub lost, but most of it has been gradual as Steling has bailed on 99% of the content they used to make. Now the channel only uploads Jimquisitions and the rare other content which used to be regular events on the channel, which has led to more sub lost.
Looking at the channel they have 799k subs and struggle to get 200k views on a video which means only about 30% of the subs are active and watching.
I know that people in Jim's camp like to blame the loss on an entire audience of bigots, but that's really a stupid thing to say because Jim has been collaborating with LBGT people for years, namely Laura Dale, so if the audience is so bigoted why would they not have unsubbed when Laura was a part of the content? No it's only when Jim transitioned?
No it's because straight up because Jim became a bitter angry fuck (reasonably so) after the Digital Homicide lawsuit, which cause a shift in content and the way it was presented which people didn't like. The trans-thing frankly had very little to do with why the channel is a foundering mess these days.
Huh, I see. I thought it was some sort of character of the overly cringe type of person done to ironically showcase the faults within the subculture like how the aristocrat was all about being a cringy elite gamer caricature.
I guess it goes to show how thin the line is between parodying cringe and actually being cringe.
It's not stupid when it's true. There are some people that unsubscribe from sterling, because of the pressing content, but I don't exactly bring those ones for doing so. Hell, some unsubscribe just to take a break from it and would come back later.
Talk about being indenial and that selectively oblivious. Don't bother with the pushback, cuz I won't be listening.
DH barely had anything to do with it. Sterling was tired for a time and took a break, but it wasn't that. Not those two green dumbass brothers. Sterling is rightfully angry, but it didn't "break" . They are still fighting good fight. Besides, gaming's not their full-time thing anymore. Sterling has stated this clear a thousand times already. They have the wrestling career. They still have articles on the gym position, and they still have those videos. I'm not expecting them to pump out content 24/7 at this point. I learned that back in 2021. Fine by me. They're doing whatever makes them happy, and I don't blame them.
Yeah you don't like being questioned, I'm aware.
So I'm confused, you are saying that people unsubbed and/or don't watch the Jim Sterling channel because of Jim coming out as Trans (which I don't believe to be the case). But then you are also saying that they've shifted their focus onto a completely different channel, thus less of a focus on the gaming channel and gaming in general, which would also lead to subscriber loss.
So is it because of the transition in gender or in content? I'm wondering why you are trying to imply that the audience is bigoted AND also that Jim's focus has shifted to other places.
People generally don't unsub from a channel to "take a break" from watching the content, they just don't watch and only watch when the uploader releases something to catch their interest.
Whatever man, not the point of the thread.
1) Snape it's kind of implied really did care for Lily being one of the first on the scene when news of the attack got out.
2) Harry is the son of literally the person Snape thinks is the biggest asshole in the world (James Potter) and the girl / woman he fell for so yeh no shit Snape is going to have some issues with Harry and what he sees Harry as representing.
3) A lot of issue is the explanation of why he was awful to people. A better one might be him pushing people away because of how hurt he felt. He felt he fucked up not realising Petigrew was the Potter's secret Keeper.
In the books Snape does do something good.
Going spoilers
Snape Kills Dumbledore because Dumbledore knows that Draco will be asked to do it or expected to do it and so Snape saves Draco from ever truly going down that dark path and killing anyone.
Snape then also tries to take out some Death Eaters during the time Harry is being moved and the Death Eaters hunting him (admittedly he screws up and hits some of the order of the Phoenix people but he still tried)
It was also Snape who delivered the Sword to Harry in the forest using his Patronus to guide Harry to it.
I dunno.
I'd say maybe not talking about the game round them, but I'd never want my friends to have to join some boycott I'm doing to stay friends or be seen as "real friends" because in this case the arguments are so petty and small fry. It really doesn't seem to be some grand stand so much as some stupid display of fealty or virtue signal. This feels like the time certain figured claimed anyone who didn't see American Sniper hated America and then another group pushed the idea if you didn't go see Selma you hated all black people.
People shouldn't have to justify their purchasing decision to people who claim to be friends.
Not all the audience are, but a good amount of left because of his transition or because he came out as trans. It's a fact of life; deal with it.
As for the content part, some people really did leave because it got too dark and depressing on what's ugly and wrong with the industry. Sterling has even pointed it out in his videos and some of the user comments. Their words, not mine. I'm referring to both the commenters and Sterling on the words.
You're the one that brought it up in the first place and more than once made diversion points from the actual thread. You ain't innocent. Once again, you have done this more times and you care to count. You should really keep track on that and try not to act like it's not a big deal.
Only when I know it's false information and bull crap are being spread. Stop acting oblivious or get your actual information right.
I stand by saying that this Hogwarts Legacy boycott is a shallow fealty display / virtue signal.This comic will never not be relevant
My opinion, just pirate the game when it is cracked in a few days if you don't want to give the ***** money. People have pirated for less, and the developers already got a paycheck.
It's people mad because J.K. Rowling tweets stuff they don't like.
This isn't refusing to support a streaming service that doesn't actually offer royalties that help keep supporting artists.
This isn't choosing not to go see a film that's producers and studio cut corners that lead to the death of a woman on set.
This is people mad because J.K.Rowling uses her platform to sometimes say stuff they don't like.
Please shut up and stop saying stuff I disagree with is a bit different to Please actually pay artists and creators properly and Please don't cut corners that lead to people dying on set.
Your response is not surprising, cuz you don't give a rat's ass about the person. You lack actual basic empathy and only see what you want to see. In football game or not, but true friend would have respected that person and actually least talk and asked them what was wrong and see their conversation through to the end. Not blowing them off and try to guilt Trip them immediately. Which is what the commenter's friends did. As usual, your answers are non-answers, ignore the example and evidence, full of shit, and hold no water. Don't bother responding back, because I won't be listening to you either. Because of the more the same shit.
True, but too bad they did when they blew off their friend like that. By getting angry at them and getting defensive, they by and large are justifying their purchase or why they're playing the game while ignoring their friend's fears and valid concerns. Someone like you who lacks true empathy wouldn't sympathize with the actual victims, and are more than happy to side and make excuses for the abusers or the people with jackass attitudes. You've done this more times that you care to count, so don't act otherwise.

I grew up reading Viz, so you can imagine how well that went. Great deal of context-free learning.
That's a whole lot of words to say some rules have no exceptions. And I still don't see how that refutes the notion that the exception (can) prove(s) the rule.
If, for instance, you get a character like Drizzt or Johnny Star, or Rusty, who come from a species that's inherently evil (or thereabouts), then the exceptions aren't disproving the rule, they're reinforcing the rule. However these characters may operate, the bulk of their species are gits, and it's established that they're gits because of the nature of their very existence.
Um, maybe? You could make a case for that depending on circumstances.
No, becaue they lack any kind of thought.
That's a, um, interesting insinuation. 0_0
I absolutely agree, but if we're talking about the goa'uld, we're talking about a species that's 99% doing evil shit, and the 1% that isn't is not doing evil shit in part due to genetic memory. Normally I wouldn't really call parasite species "evil," but in terms of plot, the goa'uld are the antagonists (or were, but the Ori are posers), from a worldbuilding standpoint, as parasites, they're usually shown to have inherent traits that from a human perspective one could call evil. And when you have a species like that, per what was discussed earlier, I can't find many examples where a species is changed that drastically. Heck, the goa'uld aren't even really changed, it's just that the 'bad' goa'uld are defeated, and the 'good' goa'uld remain an operating faction, albeit one facing extinction.
Sucks to be them I guess.
If that's the case, then why do various daemons demonstrate the ability to converse with mortals, and act as they see fit, apparently free of any higher authority?
For instance, the Changer I mentioned. Inevitably, it would have killed/enslaved the guy in the story, but when you have a daemon that talks, tortures, decides to handicap itself to have some fun (which proves its undoing), surely you'd call that free will of a sort, right?
See? That's what happens when games criticism goes to the dogs!
Um, really? Because while there's numerous videos that exist that claim to show the Empire are the good guys (or other antagonists in a similar light), I've never encountered anyone who actually believes that for the Empire.
No, I didn't move to Newcastle for another ten years, though a lot of Viz made more sense when I did. Loved the pathetic sharks.
*sighs*
This reminds me of the number of times I've had to educate people (mostly from the UK) that a certain word that is considered a racist perjorative in Oz in not "okay" just because Rolf fucken-kiddy-fiddler Harris used it in a fucken song in the 50s.
It's establishing they're gits because they choose to be, not because it's part of their inherent nature, holy fuck
Hey, humans have kept slaves for our entire history, it must be part of our inherent nature. Any human who opposes slavery is just an exception that proves the rule, right?
Yeah, I'm just gonna refer to that Cell video and end this wild diversion, holy shit.
Yeah, a sort of free will that lacks the free and is just the will.
Yeah, he's kind of lost that cultural representative role now. We're just doing background checks on Mel Gibson to see if there's anything stopping him taking on the role.
