i got a message from jocat
James EndicottI read something a few days ago that has been nagging at me ever since. It was an explanation for why hating #JoCat for that fun video became a culture war thing. It's mindblowing, obvious in retrospect, and depressing.
The primary audience for a big part of the right wing influencer-sphere is middle and high school boys on their way to incel-dom. That's how they get massive followings and thus money. Other people watch the videos and streams too and the ideas spread from those videos to social media where they eventually get into Fox News or the RNC platform but they start with adult men trying to win the approval of those boys.
That target audience needs an explanation for why girls don't like them despite how desperately they want girls to magically fix everything wrong in their lives. The hatred of women that naturally arises from that conflict becomes part of what "being straight" means to them. Unironically liking women and happily sharing that challenges that definition of straightness. To overcome that perceived threat, they latch on to the paradoxical "it's gay to like women."
Once that happens, JoCat is a popular gay man stealing women from them because he's woke. Attacking him is basically self defense because all of their problems remain since he denied them the women who could fix their lives.
I'm sure there's more to it than that but it's a pretty compelling explanation to me, even if it is a bit "For want of a nail".

emptyotherMood: π‘. Just found out #JoCat, a youtuber, has been bullied of the internet for this creation. WTF.

I Like Girls - JoCat Animation
Matt πΆ (LordMatt)Yesterday I learned that one of my favourite #DnD content creators #JoCat had been silently enduring some serious #cyberbullying. I am not okay with this. Bullying is not okay.
Jo Cat has, quite understandably, said he will take an indefinite leave from content creation. That's sad for us fans but completely understandable.
I made an #isBrill page to celebrate Jo Cat's fine creations and wish him well.
Feedback and suggestions are welcome.
Rustled TeapotSo apparently a collection of the worst people from the left and right have successfully bullied #Jocat off of the Internet for a 2 year old song about liking girls of every body type.
Everyone who participated in this should feel deep shame and regret for their part in it, and those who don't should be ostracized from society.
But sadly the people who do this shit persist and instead we lose valuable people who are more vulnerable to attack.
The Book of KelsWell that sucks. Just learned that #JoCat, the creator behind A Crap Guide to D&D, Gobbo Adventures, and that really cool video about Klonoa, is leaving video making and presumably streaming as well for getting so much hate.
It's a real loss, and it sucks to give those shitty people a win. But I'm hoping his life gets more peaceful.
The Gneech! Awww Yeah
geo_botI put him in the eldritch cafe. #jocat https://twitter.com/JoCat105/status/1680976754159042562/photo/1 (sorry the twitter link)
