This last response is interesting. Metokur was answering a lot of questions about his medical problem awhile back. But notice when it's something he doesn't want to answer, suddenly he's a comedian and hides behind his jokes. Why would he not want to answer this? Does he not want people thinking about his finances? Does he not want people thinking about the plausibility of a man being sick for like a decade? Is this something you're not to supposed to think too deeply about?

I don't think he's lying. I saw a skinny guy last week smoking a pack of Camel Reds sitting in his wheelchair with a 4/5 stars hat offering to give out "Irish handies" for $10

Care to elaborate on this point?

I do not wish to rehash an old conflict but I was under the impression, at least here on KF, it was more or less universally understood that Jim's side of GamerGate was right. Games journalism was the first thing to become corrupted and has demonstrably led to a cycle by which a vocal minority of faggots have grossly disproportionate influence on the video games industry. The result of this influence is the wanton spread of left wing progressive ideological propaganda in games and the existence of things like sweet baby inc.

The conflict known as GameGate correctly identified the corruption in games journalism evident by the promotion of Zoe Quinn's 'Depression Quest' from journalists she allegedly slept with. Regardless of whether the allegations are true, Depression Quest is an objectively terrible video game and undeserving of such lauding, so surely something fishy was going on. Unfortunately because there was no organizational unity or defined goals to focus this side of the conflict, it was all too easy for the opposing side to spin the narrative in their favor. Thus GameGate is known as a "harassment campaign", the truth it spoke is maligned and swept under the rug by those it would inconvenience.

So when you say "everything related to GamerGate" what exactly do you mean? As far as I remember Jim was involved very early on with the Quinnspiracy Theory series, but largely distanced himself from the movement after. Of all the things worth mocking him over, what about GamerGate is there?

GamerGate was an ideological movement that was originally centered around halting the encroachment of SJW influence on video game culture, but was quickly co-opted by politically charged internet grifters for the purposes of expanding their careers through outrage bait. Because of GamerGate, several loathsome internet personalities went on to become financially successful and, in addition to destroying the original intent behind the GamerGate movement, went on to undermine other right-adjacent movements as well. Without his success from GamerGate, Sargon of Akkad wouldn't have had the influence needed to join and then destroy UKIP. Without her status as the GamerGate token female, Shoe0nHead wouldn't have been able to spawn the pickme grifter portion of the "manosphere". Without his leg-up from GamerGate, Milo wouldn't have had the clout to enter alt-right political movements, collect dirt on their members, and hand info over to the feds. Ethan Ralph would've never had a career without GamerGate. The same goes for other reprobates like Armored Skeptic, TheQuartering, Rags, etc. You might think that the original intentions behind GamerGate were noble, but ultimately the movement accomplished nothing and caused irreversible damage to the right wing in the process.

The reason Mister Metokur was only involved early on in GamerGate and disavowed the movement shortly after joining was because he saw the writing on the wall. In his disavowal video, Metokur commented on how GamerGate content quickly shifted from productive material digging up evidence against Zoe Quinn and Kotaku to bottom-of-the-barrel slop where the aforementioned YouTubers would shit out 10 minute videos every day where they say "OMG ethics in gaming journalism amirite? BTW donate to my Patreon and pay my rent". Funnily enough, one of the big sticking points for Jim was how much he hated how GamerGate just became an excuse for right-wing online grifting, and how grifting off of ideological causes in general is bad. Nevertheless, Metokur acknowledged the Frankenstein that he helped create and severed his ties to it, but too late to stop it from causing the damage described earlier in this post. And ironically, GamerGate is probably the only thing that Metokur "accomplished" in his life.

I agree completely. The intentions were noble but the result was nothing short of catastrophic failure.

Again, we are in agreement on the facts here. Where we seem to disagree is that all of this is something worth mocking Metokur over.

By my estimation your original list has plenty of valid points, but this one is a bridge too far. Yes, Metokur and the Quinnspiracy Theory series can be regarded as a starting point for the GamerGate movement, but I think it is not only unfair, but outright unjust to hang it's ultimate failure around his neck. To point out the blatant hypocrisy and corruption that the Zoe Quinn incident revealed was necessary. How could anyone have known at the time what would come of it? Furthermore Metokur was, as you point out, quick to disavow the movement. This was also correct but at the time he caught plenty of flak over it because many did not see the writing as clearly as he did.

So really, of all the things worth mocking Metokur over, being right about Zoe Quinn, and being right about disavowing GamerGate when it devolved into a farce, shouldn't be among them. By insisting otherwise you end up detracting from the valid points.

I never said that Metokur was solely responsible for the failures of GamerGate. I just think it's hilarious that Metokur's big defining moment for his online career happens to be such a colossal failure that he attached himself to. To normies who are aware of Metokur's existence, GamerGate is the main thing Jim is known for. That's pretty funny.

A weird parallel with this is the way that Hitler dedicated his entire adult life to fighting the Jews and saving the white race, only for the legacy of his political movement and the war he fought being the catalyst for the Jews having more power over society than ever before and the justification used for why white people have to be killed and bred out of existence. It's morbid, but if you're a cynic then it's also funny to think about. White people might have been better off if Hitler never existed and Germany was allowed to fester under the Weimar hell that it's currently festering under anyway. Likewise, Jim contributed to a movement that made all the social and political problems he cared about worse, to the point that it's clear now that letting Zoe Quinn suck cock for game reviews would have been better for everyone in the long run.

I would argue the key difference between Metokur and Hitler in this situation is that Metokur promptly disavowed GamerGate when he saw, earlier than most, what a farce it was becoming while Hitler stuck to his Reich until the bitter end.

If you're going to acknowledge that Jim attached himself to GamerGate, you should also acknowledge that he detached himself from it too. While the whole situation has an degree of cynical humor to it, because he disavowed it as early as he did I cannot say it is a matter worthy of personal mockery.

My memory could be off but he didn't cut it as soon as people here seem to think he did. iirc his entire time as IA was around GG, starting before as a way to troll the ED singers & then later shifting to GG after & then ending that channel with his disavowal video. That was a decent chunk of GG, at least half of it depending on how you measure it. He wasn't just making a few video's & dipping out, he did multiple livestream appearances with figures around that time. I remember 2 off of my head, the Jade stream & the one where he was in a call with drunk Sargon & Milo but I'm pretty sure he did others with Mundane Matt & Sargon before he left & came back.

A-logging Jim is one thing, but comparing him to Hitler is rather unhinged. The man is a grifter that sells hats and made a few funny videos, no need to seethe at him like he just shot your dog.

He definitely benefited from Gamergate too, just like the other grifters. He was just the one smart enough to see the writing on the wall, and this is why a lot of people(especially gamergaters) hate him, they wanted him to sink with the ship too.
 
I saw James Patrick O'MCShaughnessy at a grocery store in Minessota yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “COUGHT COUGHT COUGHT?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him lit a fag as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to roll out the doors with like fifteen anime pillows in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the pillows and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any covid interferrence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each pillow and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by being a lazy potato nigger really loudly.

Relax. It's not like I said Jim was a decorated war hero, effective political leader, charismatic orator, or competent strategist. I made sure to only draw a single parallel with one of Hitler's bad qualities. Don't worry, I don't think Hitler's anywhere near as pathetic as some unwashed weeaboo who goons to loli rape hentai because he's too crippled to fuck his gook mail-order bride.

I just think this kind of a-logging kind of falls flat that when he can fire off a stream at any point in time for 2 hours, sell a bunch of hats and make more money in those 2 hours than most people here will with minimal effort. It's clear he doesn't care what you think either, since noped out of Gamergate and hasn't dwelled on it since, aside from talking about how it failed, or any other points people have against him. He will die happy and with a nest egg and at least one person that loves him, and you will still cry about him being a weeb or whatever long after he's dead, one side here is clearly more pathetic.
