Possibly? It would involve publicly admitting to saying some of that dumb shit lol.
Parody and commentary are protected by the US constitution.
He could do a feature length special on this one:

or the Doom Switch DF thread.

It would (or should) fall under fair use for the purpose of satire.

Only the ones that perpetuate some air of superiority over people that aren't.

Yeah, have to agree to an extent. Was properly funny when it was just an aside in the Jimquisitions but lays on the delivery too thick,

He'll have plenty of material reading PC gamers posts on here 
One of them claiming migraines so bad they had to be rushed to hospital from playing a console game at 30fps has to be one of the best I've seen.
I loved that video despite going off Jim for the past year because of the same topics being recycled all the time. This however is great, as is his costume!!

Holy shit, I'm glad this is a thing. Go Jim!
That's a dangerous road to go down considering some PC gamers took the "master race" shit and actually believed it after a while

That was pretty funny. Hope he doesn't intend to do it every week, though. It will wear thin quick.

I hope the irony doesn't stay hidden to himself, since he does the same for his "serious" content, just in a 20th century style with a top hat crying about publishers greed and the occasional lazy dev.

This poster agrees too.
totally get how someone can have found this not funny, btw. definitely wouldn't want this to be a weekly series.

I enjoyed it but I'm glad Jim is smart enough to realize that these just can't run for longer than a few minutes. Characters that are purposefully obnoxious need to be doled out in small amounts.

I see these comments everywhere in games, no need to point out how cringy the gaming community can be. Especially in his ridiculous get-up.

Wait so those comments are actually real? Hah! Not surprising he's ripping on Dark Souls fanatics.

Probably but when you say "elitism in gaming" the first thing to enter my head is PCMR nonsense. Second to that is probably the "hardcore games" vs "casual games" people.
Pretty sure that particular comment was in relation to Divinity: Original Sin.
The à¹ÛBronx
Member
Think he was referring to the comment that said something akin to "you better not try Dark Souls, you'll go crying to mommy".
fabricated backlash

The DF thread about the Switch Doom port should provide him with enough material for a whole year

So who will be the first person here to get on? We better step up our game!
Had to be done.
10/10 wig and make-up job by the way, Jim.

Oh, I don't think that's necessary.
In the slightest.
He could probably find enough stuff on here to make these until he retires as is.

Really hoping he goes again to the park and record more of this.
People could stream images of comments to him on stage for improv impressions.

This is probably the only good thing to have come out of that gatekeepey elitist asshole gamer attitude.
Also probably the most fun I've seen Jim have and the most fun I've had watching him. Glad he's expanding on the weird shit.

This was so funny! Probably my favorite video by Jim. He nails that persona haha!
I completely understand some of the complaints that he's "signal-boosting" negativity, but nowadays I think its impossible to escape negativity in online discussion of video-games (or probably anything else, for that matter). You'll come across it, in vast quantities, whether or not its signal-boosted - so videos like this are important, that show you how ridiculous the negativity sounds when you put it in a different context. It's just a satirical reminder to everybody that watches it, that we shouldn't allow elitism to be normalized in video-game discussion.
