This is Jim's schtick. To produce toxic content that perpetuates the toxic culture in gaming and on NeoGaf and ResetEra. We have people attacking each other all over the place in this thread. It's gross. Stop giving this guy attention.
Is there a moderator in particular I can message to ask that this thread is closed?
The man critcizes toxicity in the game industry and game culture all the time, my dude. One of his most popular side series is about pointing out toxic comments and forum posts and how silly they are.
Further, nothing about this video is toxic. It's a funny pun title utilizing the game's title. Something can be a shadow of itself without being necessarily bad- just lesser.
Don't just throw around a word willy nilly because you disagree with someone or how they present their content. Like, yeah, he's legit been a toxic shitlord in the past but since about 2014 he's cleaned up his act a ton.
Jim's "schtick" varies too. In the main Jimquisition series he very much plays the persona of a holier than thou carnival barker. But in his reviews and podcasts he's clearly a very down to earth guy who, while having strong opinions, is more than happy to politely disagree with people- except on important issues like the social issues I like to believe we all agree with him about here on Era, along with consumer and worker rights. Maybe his Jimquisition character is slightly worth critique but I think most people who enjoy his stuff realize he's putting on a show and leave it at that.
That said I can see portions of his fanbase being a bit toxic in spite of him saying said people aren't welcome to indulge in his content, but that's more for the mods to handle individuals when they come up. What's really breeding an undesirable discussion environment on Era is people not engaging with the content before commenting. I do think, as Wily suggested earlier, the OP having given snippets of his review would be a boon to actually discussing the video rather than having it be a discussion about him and the title of it. But I don't see any harm in discussing modern Jim's content in the slightest.
Edit: I apologise, I spent like a half hour making this post and didn't see the mod note to stop off topic commentary. I'll leave it at this.
