95% of the time he plays the straight-man and then the other 5% of the time he behaves like an unhinged lunatic. It's the perfect recipe for cultivating an audience of viewers who love to torment him with his own words. After that it's just one step further to put words he didn't say into his mouth and see how he reacts to getting gaslit.

I make it sound like a cynical ploy but really this kind of thing is just intrinsically tied to Jerma's online personality. Lightning in a bottle. If you ask me the most impressive part's actually how he manages to stay in control of the situation and not get totally swallowed up by the increasingly bizzare behavior of his viewership.

Is this pasta?

[-] chaorace@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 10 months ago

No, but now that you mention it that would be a pretty plausible thing to have happen. Just grabbing hold of a random armchair analysis and then repeating it ad nauseum until it transforms into an irony-poisoned meme totem... you've really gotten my hopes up now!

What is jerma?

[-] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

The more important question is: Why is Jerma?

[-] Kase@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I'll do you one better! Where is Jerma??

[-] Carighan@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

What's a Jerma? A country?

[-] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 months ago

He's the only person I know who had a sun ray in the shape of a dick randomly appear on the wall...

Let me suggest you this YT video:

Jerma985 - The ANTI-Streamer

He's an unhinged psycho who laughs at burning cars.

[-] TheGreenGolem@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

It is now.

[-] BustinJiber@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Didn't he want that?

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

He is very Boston.
