      The children actually had some honesty and weren't trying so much unlike the adults who were the major mere imitators/wannabe instant knockouts of hipness. Naoki was the smartest adult there, ofC. Summed up the issue in one word.

      That was also my experience! Even though I was aware of the Jimquisition as a thing and broadly agreed with its messages, I found it hard to watch consistently because of the dark undercurrent I sensed throughout the show. I only came back sporadically when there were topics I was interested in, and usually after checking other channels. One of those times was roughly a month after Steph publicly transitioned, and the difference in tone was staggeringly positive - I was hooked immediately!
      I haven't missed an upload since!

    • @Bellitchi
      @Bellitchi ปีที่แล้ว +11

      You get a sense of massive hate and bitterness in the beginning of their transition too, as the game industry brought that out of them. It was a particularly horrid time, with all the abuse on an unprecedented level. Now that the happenings have slowed down, they’ve become more chill, the cynicism was lessened to a more digestible version, and they’re doing more variety videos much like before. Whatever silly or dumb thing they could cover. It’s great. A good return to form after the horrible dread every episode brought (I mean this in the best and worst way. It’s good to be up to date on what’s going on. But much like doom scrolling on Twitter, it hurts your health too)
