JoCat announced that he was going on an indefinite hiatus due to the toxicity he's received for this awesomely positive video.

Here's a link to his announcement

I'll hold out hope that he'll return to YouTube eventually as I loved his content.

This kind of toxic behavior is always at least a little mystifying to me, but honestly, given the video in question, I'm extra flummoxed. It's such a short nothing burger of a video. And it's a guy liking girls. Like....WTH?

This kind of toxic behavior is never really "acceptable" but that aside, with all the rage bate tier content available on any given platform, people chose this as the target of their ire and harassment?

This sucks. I love jocat and all his videos. This is the second creator sheet Lindsey that had quit due to harassment of shit stains. I'm fucking tired if this being the Internet and I don't even have to deal with death threats to my family like they do.

I really like his little animated clips

Especially the turtle brush one

Guys, when did it become cringe to like women? The woke left has really gone too far. And here’s your /s. Yes, you specifically.

Twitter users when a wholesome content creator exists:

But I love this video! =(

Doxxing is never the answer.

Unless the question is "what should we do with these chuds that harass and doxx innocent people until they're silenced?"

His Crap Guides to D&D are legendary.

Seriously fuck all of those people for bullying a legit wholesome dude off the Internet.

This video is 2 years old, why did this become an issue now?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It was an issue when it came out and has been a consistent issue basically fluctuating in waves since

The link the the post description basically explains what was going on with it and his channel

Ah cool thanks, I watched the video but I didn’t see that. Appreciate the context!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The video is cringe as fuck, but I can just ignore it? If there's something I don't like I don't have to interact with it. Are people harassing him because of this video in particular or is it something else?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The link in the post description explains the harassment basically

It's a parody of a Lizzo song called (I think) "Boys," it's basically a gender bent version of it

This video awakened my love of catboys
