Jesse's first post was definitely a gay op, and a poor one at that. The way he's acted since makes me think this wasn't a big-brained plan all along to fumble his appearance on the Killstream to get more people to talk about it. He was promised a discussion with Metokur and probably wasn't expecting to be muted and screamed at by multiple people at once, which is what ended up getting PPP to talk about the situation so much in the first place. That's part of the reason why people are so mad at Ralph now, because he didn't give Jesse a fair shake. There was a chance to get actual IBS, even if it would have been low quality, between just Metokur and Jesse or Dick and Jesse and he threw it out to write off the texts as nothing.
